『壹』 欧亨利短篇小说 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』 求欧亨利短篇小说2篇赏析 每篇300字就好 谢谢啦~~
1《麦琪的礼物》赏析
美国著名作家欧•亨利在《麦琪的礼物》这篇小说中，用他笔调幽默又带有淡淡哀伤的艺术语言讲述了一个“没有曲折、不足为奇的故事”。以圣诞前夜馈赠礼物如此平常的题材创构的小说，在西方文坛并非罕见，其中也不乏精心之作，而欧•亨利的《麦琪的礼物》独自绝响，成为这类题材的杰作，确实是令人深思的。
从内容上看。全篇以馈赠圣诞礼物为中心线，写了美国一对贫穷而恩爱的夫妇。这个家庭的主妇为了节省每个铜子儿，不得不“每次一个、两个向杂货铺、菜贩和肉店老板那儿死乞白赖地硬扣下来。
欧•亨利的短篇常以他独具风格的感伤笔调和诙谐轻快的笔锋，去刻画人物和铺展情节，使笔下的形象富有立体感，并给人以不尽的余韵。《麦琪的礼物》正是这个艺术特色的代表作。裁剪精到的构思，对话般亲切的语言，微带忧郁的情调，使这个短篇在缕缕情感的光束中显露出丰厚的内涵，激发读者对爱情、金钱的价值的思考。作家细致地写德拉无钱为丈夫买礼物的焦灼心情，写德拉的美发，甚至写德拉上街卖发和买表链的全过程，却惜墨如金地避开了吉姆卖金表买发梳的经过。作家可以细致地描写吉姆回家后德拉担心失去美发会伤害吉姆的爱所作的一连串解释，却在吉姆讲完卖金表事之后戛然然止住全文。时而细致入微，时而寥寥数笔，读者仍能从那些不着文字之处领悟作家的弦外之音。这种寄实于虚，并兼用暗示和略写的手法，是《麦琪的礼物》所独具的。
2 《爱的牺牲》赏析
《爱的牺牲》是典型的欧．亨利式的小说，讲述了一对追逐艺术的年青艺术家夫妇，离乡背井到纽约去深造，却因家境贫困难以伸展抱复。于是妻子为了生计宁愿牺牲自己，中断学琴去教音乐，“我一面教授，一面也能学一些”，而且仍然和音乐在一起。同时展现了19世纪美国草根阶层生活的无奈与艰辛。
作者运用漫画般的笔触,勾勒出数位特色鲜明的人物形象,令人印象深刻。读完这篇小说，我认为乔□拉雷毕失去了两样值得自豪的东西，换来的却是不再对对方有用的装饰品，他们美好的愿望就这样落空了，命运对于这对恩爱夫妻是这样苛刻。这一结局是我们始料不及的。因为作者在故事的发展过程中，始终把最紧要的东西包藏着，引而不发，到结束时，才和盘托出，不仅出奇制胜，令人拍案，还使前面的情节翻出新颖的意义，给人留下持久而深刻的回味。严酷的生活使他们都放弃了艺术，但他们相互的爱却感人至深。欧．亨利以轻松、幽默的语言和沉甸甸的故事，揭示了“爱”的伟大力量。
