《麥琪的禮物》賞析
麥琪，是聖子耶穌誕生時前來送禮的三位智慧的賢人。他們首創了聖誕節饋贈禮物的風俗。在西方人看來，聖誕禮物是最可珍貴的，因而也希望自己獲得的禮物是最有價值的「麥琪的禮物」。
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。
首先，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」。盡管如此，到聖誕前夕全家只剩下一塊八毛七分錢。作家不用多費筆墨去寫這個家庭的拮據困窘，只是簡單地用「一塊八毛七分錢」引出全篇。唯其如是，深愛丈夫的主婦德拉把這錢數了三遍，並因為無法為丈夫購得一件稱心的「麥琪的禮物」而傷心地哭泣。歐·亨利最擅長用貌似平淡的話語作素描，去營構一種氣氛，讓讀者沉湎其中，領味和思考人物的命運。「一塊八毛七分錢」為這個「沒有曲折、不足為奇的故事」營構的憂郁凄涼的氣氛始終貫穿全文，即使寫到夫婦看到禮物時的瞬時驚喜和歡樂時也明顯地帶有這種氣氛袒露的傷痛。「人生是由啜泣、抽噎和微笑組成的，而抽噎佔了其中絕大部分」。這句話似乎折射出歐·亨利對當時美國現實的深沉思考。作家寫出了一對貧窮夫婦的痛苦，也在對人物思想性格和故事情節的描寫中，把讀者的趣味引向高尚的境界，給人以啟迪，讓人從中獲得美的陶冶。這是《麥琪的禮物》這篇小說真正價值之所在。
德拉為了給丈夫心愛的金錶配上一副精巧的表鏈，忍痛賣掉自己一頭美麗的頭發。那「美麗的頭發披散在身上，像一股褐色的小瀑布，奔瀉閃亮」，丈夫吉姆非常喜愛妻子這頭美麗的褐發。他深知愛妻為了裝扮頭發對百老匯路上一家商店櫥窗里陳列的玳瑁發梳渴望已久。為了在聖誕前夕給愛妻贈送玳瑁發梳作為有價值的「麥琪的禮物」，吉姆也忍痛賣掉了三代祖傳的金錶。德拉的美發和吉姆的金錶，是這個貧窮家庭中唯一引為自豪的珍貴財產。為了對愛人表示深摯的愛，他們在聖誕之夜失去了這兩件最珍貴的財產，換來了已無金錶與之匹配的表鏈和已無美發借之裝扮的發梳。瞬間的歡樂付出了昂貴的代價，而隨之而來的無疑是深深的痛苦。歐·亨利經過對現實生活的深沉思考之後，精心篩選了這個故事的主要情節，使這類易入俗套的題材煥發出奇異動人的光彩。金錶和美發，對這個每星期只收入20塊錢的家庭來說是一筆不可復得的巨大財富。這個遺憾帶來的苦澀感，使每個善良的讀者心扉顫栗。這個凝聚著社會現實生活無法解決的真實矛盾(愛情和財富)因作家深沉的文筆而倍增真實，更能引起讀者的憐憫和同情，並將他們引入更深刻的思考中去。歐·亨利的短篇小說一向不以奇詭情節取勝，揭示復雜的社會生活往往不過攝取其中一個鏡頭，但那種刻意追求的以情動人的獨特藝術效果，卻能透過「沒有曲折、不足為奇的故事」沖擊讀者的心扉。德拉和吉姆為了一時的感情沖動，「極不聰明地為了對方犧牲了他們一家最寶貴的東西」，作家把他們稱作「兩個住在一間公寓里的笨孩子」。在那個唯金錢萬能的社會中，他們的禮物不能算作是智慧的「麥琪的禮物」。但是，他們失去了財富，卻加深了人世間最可寶貴的真摯的愛情。在愛情與財富的矛盾中他們為了前者犧牲了後者。所以，作家在小說末尾留下了一段意味深長的話：「讓我們對目前一般聰明人說最後一句話，在所有饋贈禮物的人當中，他們兩個是最聰明的……他們就是麥琪。」
小說揭示社會現實不靠說教，而是用人物感情起伏的發展變化引為脈絡，啟發讀者去觸摸、感受人物帶有悲劇色彩的思想性格。在那個金錢可以買賣愛情，心理和感情出現畸變的社會中，德拉夫婦之間真摯深厚的愛充滿了作家的理想主義的色彩。歐·亨利不寫這個社會中金錢作賤愛情的罪惡，偏去寫這個晦暗鏡頭中的詩情畫意，去贊揚德拉夫婦的聰慧，這絕非常人手筆。所以，作品給人的不是消沉和晦暗，而是對美的追求和眷戀，從而把讀者引向高尚的境界。
一般說來，短篇小說因其篇幅短小，要求作家以「少少許」勝「多多許」，就必須筆墨凝練，刻畫人物風姿只能抓住一兩個側面去作速寫勾勒。其難度在某種程度上未必比中、長篇小。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。

以下是谷歌找到的英文評論：
Jim and Doller, though they are only the small potatoes who live in the lower classes, they never lost their fervency to their lives and love each other deeply, penury is so insignificant when it is in this warm sentiment. At the Christmas' Eve, they were still thinking about the presents they should give to each other, how romantic! Even though it seemed that these presents is no longer useful, they have been the most costful one in the world, like a sincere love to each other. March is a bright man, the most bright man, because he is a bright man, his presents are also bright presents. How ever our Jim and Doller, they immolated their most precious thins for another unadvisably. But let's say the last word to the current bright people, among all the people who gave presents those two was the most bright. Among all the people who not onil give but also receive, those two was also the most bright. Wherever they are the most bright. They give each other a invaluable thing with their loveness heart. However this invaluable thing, any of the person who always thinks he is the most bright or richest could has it, and couldn't give either. Christmas Day is coming now, dear friends, are ready?
英文評論："It is not surprising that 'The Gift of the Magi' still enjoys such widespread fame, for in this trite little tale of mutual self-sacrifice between husband and wife, O. Henry crystallized dramatically what the world in all its stored-up wisdom knows to be of fundamental value in ordinary family life. Unselfish love shared, regardless of the attendant difficulties or distractions--this is the idea repeatedly implied as a criterion in his fictional treatment of domestic affairs. If such love is present, life can be a great adventure transcending all drabness; if it is absent, nothing else can take its place....O. Henry wrote few stories of ordinary family life that approach in tenderness and universal appeal the qualities found in 'The Gift of the Magi'
by Current-Garcia

以下是摘自新浪博客《麥琪的禮物》英文讀後感
《Impression of "The Gift of the Magi"》
It's a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"
is meant to be savored.
Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.But I'm so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it yo you,and to myself.
It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England.Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.Life is very hard for them.Despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didn't changed at all.When Chrismas day was approuching ,Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfather's pocket watch.But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing she'd cut it off.
It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isn't that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Its't absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they would't lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr. James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called 'Jim'and greatly hugged by Mrs. James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,they'd given the very best they had out of love.
"They are too 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."Said the writer in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?
I remind my grandparents.They have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.They have gone through war period,three years' natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.But no matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.
Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.It's consideration,tolerance and respect.It's giving one's best to the other even it means sacrifice.It's affection which connects two persons' hearts,and it's reinforced by adversities.
Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della and from my grandparents,I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.

『肆』 給我一篇英語短篇小說的簡介

《 Million Pound Note》：

In 1903, American seaman Henry Adams (Gregory Peck) is stranded penniless in England and gets caught up in an unusual wager between two wealthy, eccentric brothers, Oliver (Ronald Squire) and Roderick Montpelier (Wilfrid Hyde-White). They persuade the Bank of England to issue a one million pound banknote, which they present to Adams in an envelope (only telling him that it contains some money). The reason for this is that Oliver believes that the mere existence of the note will enable the possessor to obtain whatever he needs, while Roderick contends that it would actually have to be spent for it to be of any use.

Once Adams gets over the shock of discovering how much the note is worth, he tries to return it to the brothers, but is told that they have left for a month. He then finds a letter in the envelope, explaining the wager and promising him a job if he can avoid spending the note for the month.

At first, everything goes as Oliver had predicted. Adams is mistaken for an eccentric millionaire and has no trouble getting food, clothes and a hotel suite on credit, just by showing his note. The story of the note is reported in the newspapers. Adams is welcomed into exclusive social circles, meeting the American ambassador and English aristocracy. He becomes very friendly with Portia Lansdowne (Jane Griffiths), the niece of the Duchess of Cromarty.

Then, fellow American Lloyd Hastings (Hartley Power) asks him to back a business venture. Hastings tells Adams that he does not have to put up any money himself; the mere association will allow Hastings to raise the money he needs to start up a gold mine by selling shares.

Trouble arises when the Duke of Frognal (A. E. Matthews), who had been unceremoniously evicted from the suite Adams now occupies, hides the note as a joke. When Adams is unable to proce the note, panic breaks out amongst the shareholders and Adams' creditors. Fortunately, all is straightened out in the end, and Adams is able to return the note to the Montpelier brothers at the end of the month.

『伍』 英語文學的發展

威廉四世逝世後，英國開始了長達63年的維多利亞女王統治時期（1837年至1901年）。這段時期是其工業革命和大英帝國的頂峰，號稱「日不落帝國」，經濟政治勢力空前強盛，文學、藝術、建築和科技都有很大發展。文學中體現岀的此時代精神風貌，既包括一整套高貴、體面、嚴肅、剋制的道德體系，同時又深刻揭露岀當時飛速發展擴張的社會中種種殘酷的陰暗面，如泛濫的賣淫嫖娼、僱傭童工現象，帝國主義無情剝削殖民地和工人階級等等。不但描繪著上流社會雍容華貴、爾虞我詐的奢侈享樂狀況，還講述著中產階級虛榮、掙扎著向上攀爬的刻意體面生活，又刻畫岀下層人民食不果腹、艱辛困苦的悲慘境地。
19世紀後期到20世紀初期，愛爾蘭產生了葉芝、蕭伯納、王爾德、喬伊斯等一批享譽世界的大文豪。這些人用英語寫作的作品刻畫了世紀之交英國、愛爾蘭以及歐洲的社會景觀、文學藝術思潮和民生百態，是英語文學中璀璨的明珠。
◆小說
維多利亞時期內，小說成為英語文學的主流形式。大多數作家都開始轉向規模逐漸擴大的中產階級，普通民眾的品位喜好越來越比貴族資助者的更加具有誘惑力。
簡·奧斯丁逝於1817年（維多利亞時代之前），處於浪漫主義文學和維多利亞文學之間的過渡期。她的小說從女性的視角描繪了沒落貴族的生活，用諷刺幽默的筆法呈現出當時英格蘭的社會問題，尤其是婚姻和金錢。
查爾斯·狄更斯於19世紀30年代岀現在文學舞台上，也採用了當時的連載岀版風潮。狄更斯重視描繪出倫敦日常生活的景觀，尤其是下層社會窮人的掙扎與拼搏，不過筆法相對詼諧幽默，哪個階層的讀者都能夠接受。早期的作品《匹克威克外傳》等都是喜劇的經典之作。到後期，他的作品如《雙城記》、《遠大前程》等內容要嚴肅灰暗許多，但筆鋒仍然未失諷刺誇張的特色。
其他著名的有勃朗特姐妹的作品、薩克雷的諷刺小說《名利場》、喬治·艾略特的現實主義小說和安東尼·特羅洛普對地主階級日常生活的忠實刻畫。
以托馬斯·哈代為代表的一群小說家對鄉村生活興趣頗深，在作品中描繪出鄉下地區迅速變遷的社會和經濟環境以及對普通民眾生活、心理的沖擊與影響。
◆詩歌
這段時期重要的詩人包括丁尼生、羅伯特·勃朗寧和伊麗莎白·巴瑞特·勃朗寧夫婦，還有馬修·阿諾德。約翰·拉斯金和羅塞蒂在詩歌方面也有很高成就。
◆戲劇
蕭伯納和奧斯卡·王爾德都是愛爾蘭岀生的劇作家，大部分時間居住在英格蘭，用英語寫作。二人在19世紀末期的岀現象徴著愛爾蘭戲劇的成熟。王爾德在當時的英格蘭和美國都十分有名氣，是唯美主義運動的倡導者。蕭伯納的作品則跨越了維多利亞時代，一戰後仍然在創作；除此之外他還是著名的文學藝術評論家，但他在政治立場上親斯大林，甚至有些發言能解讀成親希特勒，還說過一些反猶太主義的話，因此在這點上也是飽受後人批評。
◆其他
值得一提的還有兒童文學。最著名的是劉易斯·卡羅爾的《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》，其中運用大量的「胡話詩」和奇異的場景與對話描寫。同樣偏好「胡話詩」的還有愛德華·李爾。 1901年至1910年，英王愛德華七世在位，稱作愛德華（七世）時期（有時這段時期也延伸到1914年或1918年）。喬治五世於1910年至1936年在位，經歷了第一次世界大戰。愛德華時期的英國社會對歐陸藝術和風尚十分痴迷，當時的階級劃分也最為僵化。經歷維多利亞時期的殖民擴張，帝國主義和種族主義的思想在英語文學中較為普遍。現代主義運動在1910年左右也開始興盛。一戰過後，戰爭的殘酷讓很多文人放棄了「愛國主義」和帝國主義的主題。
印度出生的盧迪亞·吉卜林是20世紀初期受歡迎的英語作家之一。他的作品題材變化萬千，包括小說、短篇小說和詩歌等等。內容大多數根據他在英國統治印度期間的親身經歷而來。吉卜林在一戰前堅決支持帝國主義，也被後人抨擊有強烈的種族主義和反猶太主義思想，因此在現當代的名聲並不好。
◆詩歌
托馬斯·哈代在1895年出版《無名的裘德》，書中闡述的婚姻道德觀與當時社會格格不入，評論家和公眾的狂轟濫炸導致他一怒之下放棄小說創作，轉而寫作詩歌。在20世紀前10年中，他是英語詩歌的代表人物之一。
《喬治詩集》（Georgian Poetry）是在喬治五世時期由愛德華·馬什（Edward Marsh）編輯、哈羅德·門羅（Harold Monro）岀版的詩集，包括愛德蒙·布倫登、羅伯特·格雷夫斯、D.H.勞倫斯、德拉·梅爾、西格夫里·薩松等人。這些詩作所代表的時代處於極其古典的維多利亞文學之後，又在拋棄純唯美主義的現代主義文學之前。喬治詩歌的共同點包括浪漫主義、感傷主義和享樂主義等情緒。
◆小說
約瑟夫·康拉德是波蘭岀生的英國小說家。他的作品融合了浪漫主義和現實主義，又涉及現代人的曖昧道德觀。所以不少評論家認為他是現代主義文學的先驅。他的小說通常圍繞水手和大海的主題展開。 二戰後
1998年07月，美國蘭登書屋的《當代文庫》編輯小組選出了「20世紀百大英文小說」。這份排名書單一公布，引起舉世回響和評論。
