麦琪的礼物
Tomorrow will be Christmas. But Della feels very sad. Because she has no money to buy a present for her husband , Jim . She has only one dollar and eightyseven cents . They have only 20 dollars a week, it doesn’t leave much for saving.
Suddenly the door opened and in came Jim . He looks thin and very serious. Poor fellow, he is only twentytwo--and to be burdened with a family! He needs a new overcoat and he is without gloves.
•今天我们站在这里表演这个剧 本,是因为它足以能表达爱的 真谛:给予而不是索取。瓦西 夫在《情爱论》中表明过这样 的观点:爱的最高境界是以对 方的幸福为自己的幸福。杰姆 和德拉真正做到了这一点,他 们为了使对方的愿望实现,舍 弃了自己最珍贵的东西,这是 多么高的境界啊!他们之间这 种纯洁真挚的爱是值得我们深 思的。世界需要爱,也需要我 们奉献爱,每个人心中都应有 爱,不仅对自己,对他人,对 是生活也应如此。

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one?s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad.In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name “Mr. James Dillingham Young. ”The “ Dillingham ” had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week. Now, when the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. But whenever Mr. James Dillingham Young came home and reached hisflat above he was called “Jim” and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dillingham Young, already introduced to you as Della. Which is all very good.Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesn?t go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling —something justa little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim.There was a pier glass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you have seen apier glass in an $8 flat. A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurateconception of his looks. Della, being slender, had mastered the art.Suddenly she whirled from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its color within twenty seconds. Rapidly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length.Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim?s gold watch that had been his father?s and hisgrandfather?s. The other was Della?s hair. Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flatacross the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty?s jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from envy.So now Della?s beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute andstood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet.On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts andwith the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street.Where she stopped the sign read: “Mme. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds.One flight up Della ran, and collected herself, panting. Madame, large, too white,chilly, hardly looked the “ Sofronie. ”of it.Down rippled the brown cascade.“ Twenty dollars, ” said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand.“Give it to me quick, ” said Della.Oh, and the next two hours tripped by on rosy wings. Forget the hashed metaphor. She was ransacking the stores for Jim?s present.She found it at last. It surely had been made for Jim and no one else. There was noother like it in any of the stores, and she had turned all of them inside out. It was a platinum fob chain simple and chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value byWill you buy my hair?I buy hair, said Madame. Take yer hat off and let?s have a sight at the lookssubstance alone and not by meretriciousornamentation —as all good things should do. It was even worthy of The Watch. As soon as she saw it she knew that it must be Jim?s. It was like him. Quietness and value —the description applied to both. Twenty-one dollars they took from her for it, and she hurried home with the 87 cents. With that chain on his watch Jim might be properly anxious about the time in any company. Grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked atit on the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain.When Della reached home her intoxication gave way a little to prudence and reason. She got out her curling irons and lighted the gas and went to work repairing the ravages made by generosity added to love. Which is always a tremendous task, dear friends —a mammoth task.Within forty minutes her head was covered with tiny, close-lying curls that made her look wonderfully like a truant schoolboy. She looked at her reflection in the mirror long, carefully, and critically.“If Jim doesn?t kill me, ” she said to herself, “ before he takes a second look atme, he?ll say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl. But what could I do —oh!what could I do with a dollar and eighty- seven cents? ”At 7 o?clock the coffee was made and the frying -pan was on the back of the stove hot and ready to cook the chops.Jim was never late. Della doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on the corner of the table near the door that he always entered. Then she heard his step on the stair away down on the first flight, and she turned white for just a moment. She had a habit of saying a little silent prayer about the simplest everyd ay things, and now she whispered: “ Please God, make him think I amstill pretty. ”The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it. He looked thin and very serious. Poor fellow, he was only twenty-two —and to be burdened with a family! He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor anyof the sentiments that she had been prepared for. He simply stared at her fixedly with that peculiar expression on his face.Della wriggled off the table and went for him.“Jim, darling, ” she cried, “dt omne?tthloaotkw a y. I had my hair cut off andsold because I couldn?t have lived through Christmas without giving you a present.It?ll grow out again—you won?t mind, will you? I just had to do it. My hair grows awfully fast. Say ,Merry Christmas!? Jim, and let? s be happy. You don?tknow what a nice —what a beautiful, nice gift I?ve got for you. “ You?ve cut off your hair? ” asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived at that patent fact yet even after the hardest mental labor.Jim looked about the room curiously. “You say your hair is gone? ” he said, with an air almost of idiocy.Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered, ” she went on with sudden serious sweetness,“butnobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the chops on, Jim? Out of his trance Jim seemed quickly to wake. He enfolded his Della. For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential object in the otherdirection. Eight dollars a week or a million a year —what is the difference? Amathematician or a wit would give you the wrong answer. The magi brought valuablegifts, but that was not among them. This dark assertion will be illuminated later on. Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table.“ Don?t make any mistake, Dell, ” he said, “ about me. I don?t think there?sanything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you?ll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first. ”White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails,necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.For there lay The Combs —the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims —“Cut it off and sold it,” said Della. me without my hair, ain?t I? ”Don?t you like me just as well, anyhow? I?mYou needn?t look for it, said Della. It?us —ssooldld, Iatnedll gy o ne, too. It?sjust the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: “My hair grows so fast, Jim! ”And then Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, “Oh, oh!Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit.“ Isn?t it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You?ll have to look atthe time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it. ”Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled.“ Dell, ” said he, “ let?s put our Christmas presents away and keep ?em a while. They?re too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs . And now suppose you put the chops on. ”The magi, as you know, were wise men —wonderfully wise men —who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.。

Jim was never late. Della doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on the corner of the table near the door that he always entered. Then she heard his step on the stair away down on the first flight, and she turned white for just a moment. She had a habit for saying little silent prayer about the simplest everyday things, and now she whispered: "Please God, make him think I am still pretty."The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it. He looked thin and very serious. Poor fellow, he was only twenty-two--and to be burdened with a family! He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been prepared for. He simply stared at her fixedly with that peculiar expression on his face.Della wriggled off the table and went for him."Jim, darling," she cried, "don't look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present. It'll grow out again--you won't mind, will you? I just had to do it. My hair grows awfully fast. Say `Merry Christmas!' Jim, and let's be happy. You don't know what a nice-- what a beautiful, nice gift I've got for you." "You've cut off your hair?" asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived at that patent fact yet even after the hardest mental labor."Cut it off and sold it," said Della. "Don't you like me just as well, anyhow? I'm me without my hair, ain't I?"Jim looked about the room curiously."You say your hair is gone?" he said, with an air almost of idiocy."You needn't look for it," said Della. "It's sold, I tell you--sold and gone, too. It's Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered," she went on with sudden serious sweetness, "but nobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the chops on, Jim?"Out of his trance Jim seemed quickly to wake. He enfolded his Della. For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential object in the other direction. Eight dollars a week or a million a year--what is the difference? A mathematician or a wit would give you the wrong answer. The magi brought valuable gifts, but that was not among them. This dark assertion will be illuminated later on.Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table."Don't make any mistake, Dell," he said, "about me. I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first."White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!"And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!"Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled. "Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.。

We can buy it if you really like it.Dells: No. I… I am just thinking about its strange shape. (开始玩赏梳子)旁白: Loo king at and touching Della’s beautiful hair, Jim considered that I can buy a beautiful comb for Della, as a Christmas gift! Her beautiful hair deserves it.

Dear Madam, look, you are so perfect when you wear this ring! It’s fantastic! Woman1: Really?

麦琪的礼物(中英文剧本)
德拉:非但剪了,而且卖了!(握着他的手)不管怎样,你还是一样地喜欢我,是不是?没有了头发,我还是我,是不是?
杰姆:(四下张望着屋子,既而又近乎白痴的神情)你说你的头发没有了?
德拉:你不用找了,我告诉你。已经卖了,没有了。今天是圣诞前夜,亲爱的。(温柔、神情地)好好地待我,好吗?我剪掉头发为的是你呀。我的头发可能数得清,但是我对你的爱情谁也数不清。(指着炉子旁的牛排)我把肉排烧上好吗?杰姆!
德拉:(脱下旧帽子,小心翼翼地泻下了那光灿灿如小瀑布似的头发,直到膝盖)您要买么?
安琪:(旁白)Oh,my God!想不到人间有如此美丽的头发,简直就像瀑布一样!
莎弗朗尼娅夫人:(盯着头发,惊谔地)你确定--要卖掉它?
德拉:(眷恋地,摸了摸头发)呃--(转而坚决地)是的,我要卖掉它。告诉我,它值多少钱?
[敲门声响起,门开,杰姆迈步走进来关上了门,轻音乐〈罗曼蒂〉缓缓响起]
杰姆:(一进门,愣住,带着奇怪的神情死死盯着她)——德拉!
德拉:(从桌上跳下,走到他身边,忐忑不安地)杰姆,亲爱的,别那样盯着我看。我把头发剪掉卖了,因为我不送你一件礼物,我过不了圣诞节——你不会在意吧,是不是?我实在没办法才这么做的。我的头发长得快得要命,说句“恭贺圣诞”吧!杰姆,让我们高高兴兴的。你猜不到我给你买了一件多么好——多么美丽的礼物!
营业小姐:你说的是它?(拿起发梳)你只要这套发梳吗?
杰姆:没错,这是我太太渴望已久的东西。
安琪:(旁白)他太太?发梳?……
营业小姐:哦!你看看,这是套多么美丽的发梳啊!瞧瞧,两鬓用的,后面用的,应有尽有!还有,你看,这是纯玳瑁做的、边上还镶着晶莹的珠宝呢!
