『壹』 歐亨利短篇小說 英文
O. Henry stories are famous for their surprise endings. He was called the American Guy De Maupassant. Both authors wrote twist endings, but O. Henry stories were much more playful and optimistic.
Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early years of the 20th century. Many take place in New York City, and deal for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses. His stories are also well known for witty narration.
Fundamentally a proct of his time, O. Henry's work provides one of the best English examples of catching the entire flavor of an age. Whether roaming the cattle-lands of Texas, exploring the art of the "gentle grafter", or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn-of-the-century New York, O. Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language. Some of his best and least-known work resides in the collection Cabbages and Kings, a series of stories which each explore some indivial aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period.
The Four Million (a collection of stories) opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's "assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen— census taker—and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the 'Four Million'". To O. Henry, everyone in New York counted. He had an obvious affection for the city, which he called "Bagdad-on-the-Subway,"[1] and many of his stories are set there—but others are set in small towns and in other cities.
"A Municipal Report" opens by quoting Frank Norris: "Fancy a novel about Chicago or Buffalo, let us say, or Nashville, Tennessee! There are just three big cities in the United States that are 'story cities'—New York, of course, New Orleans, and, best of the lot, San Francisco." Thumbing his nose at Norris, O. Henry sets the story in Nashville.
"The Gift of the Magi" concerns a young couple who are short of money but desperately want to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unbeknownst to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's watch; unbeknownst to Della, Jim sells his most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della's hair. The essential premise of this story has been copied, re-worked, parodied, and otherwise re-told countless times in the century since it was written.
"The Ransom of Red Chief" concerns two men who kidnap a boy of ten. The boy turns out to be so bratty and obnoxious that the desperate men ultimately pay the boy's father two hundred and fifty dollars to take him back.
"The Cop and the Anthem" concerns a New York City hobo named Soapy, who sets out to get arrested so he can spend the cold winter as a guest of the city jail. Despite efforts at petty theft, vandalism, disorderly conct, and "mashing", Soapy fails to draw the attention of the police. Disconsolate, he pauses in front of a church, where an organ anthem inspires him to clean up his life—whereupon he is promptly arrested for loitering.
"A Retrieved Reformation" has safecracker Jimmy Valentine take a job in a small-town bank in order to case it for a planned robbery. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with the banker's daughter, and decides to go straight. Just as he's about to leave to deliver his specialized tools to an old associate, a lawman who recognizes him arrives at the bank, and a child locks herself in the airtight vault. Knowing it will seal his fate, Valentine cracks open the safe to rescue the child—and the lawman lets him go.

『捌』 求歐亨利短篇小說2篇賞析 每篇300字就好 謝謝啦~~
1《麥琪的禮物》賞析
美國著名作家歐•亨利在《麥琪的禮物》這篇小說中，用他筆調幽默又帶有淡淡哀傷的藝術語言講述了一個「沒有曲折、不足為奇的故事」。以聖誕前夜饋贈禮物如此平常的題材創構的小說，在西方文壇並非罕見，其中也不乏精心之作，而歐•亨利的《麥琪的禮物》獨自絕響，成為這類題材的傑作，確實是令人深思的。
從內容上看。全篇以饋贈聖誕禮物為中心線，寫了美國一對貧窮而恩愛的夫婦。這個家庭的主婦為了節省每個銅子兒，不得不「每次一個、兩個向雜貨鋪、菜販和肉店老闆那兒死乞白賴地硬扣下來。
歐•亨利的短篇常以他獨具風格的感傷筆調和詼諧輕快的筆鋒，去刻畫人物和鋪展情節，使筆下的形象富有立體感，並給人以不盡的余韻。《麥琪的禮物》正是這個藝術特色的代表作。裁剪精到的構思，對話般親切的語言，微帶憂郁的情調，使這個短篇在縷縷情感的光束中顯露出豐厚的內涵，激發讀者對愛情、金錢的價值的思考。作家細致地寫德拉無錢為丈夫買禮物的焦灼心情，寫德拉的美發，甚至寫德拉上街賣發和買表鏈的全過程，卻惜墨如金地避開了吉姆賣金錶買發梳的經過。作家可以細致地描寫吉姆回家後德拉擔心失去美發會傷害吉姆的愛所作的一連串解釋，卻在吉姆講完賣金錶事之後戛然然止住全文。時而細致入微，時而寥寥數筆，讀者仍能從那些不著文字之處領悟作家的弦外之音。這種寄實於虛，並兼用暗示和略寫的手法，是《麥琪的禮物》所獨具的。
2 《愛的犧牲》賞析
《愛的犧牲》是典型的歐．亨利式的小說，講述了一對追逐藝術的年青藝術家夫婦，離鄉背井到紐約去深造，卻因家境貧困難以伸展抱復。於是妻子為了生計寧願犧牲自己，中斷學琴去教音樂，「我一面教授，一面也能學一些」，而且仍然和音樂在一起。同時展現了19世紀美國草根階層生活的無奈與艱辛。
作者運用漫畫般的筆觸,勾勒出數位特色鮮明的人物形象,令人印象深刻。讀完這篇小說，我認為喬□拉雷畢失去了兩樣值得自豪的東西，換來的卻是不再對對方有用的裝飾品，他們美好的願望就這樣落空了，命運對於這對恩愛夫妻是這樣苛刻。這一結局是我們始料不及的。因為作者在故事的發展過程中，始終把最緊要的東西包藏著，引而不發，到結束時，才和盤托出，不僅出奇制勝，令人拍案，還使前面的情節翻出新穎的意義，給人留下持久而深刻的回味。嚴酷的生活使他們都放棄了藝術，但他們相互的愛卻感人至深。歐．亨利以輕松、幽默的語言和沉甸甸的故事，揭示了「愛」的偉大力量。
