《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'

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.
