《麦琪的礼物》赏析
麦琪,是圣子耶稣诞生时前来送礼的三位智慧的贤人。他们首创了圣诞节馈赠礼物的风俗。在西方人看来,圣诞礼物是最可珍贵的,因而也希望自己获得的礼物是最有价值的“麦琪的礼物”。
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。
首先,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”。尽管如此,到圣诞前夕全家只剩下一块八毛七分钱。作家不用多费笔墨去写这个家庭的拮据困窘,只是简单地用“一块八毛七分钱”引出全篇。唯其如是,深爱丈夫的主妇德拉把这钱数了三遍,并因为无法为丈夫购得一件称心的“麦琪的礼物”而伤心地哭泣。欧·亨利最擅长用貌似平淡的话语作素描,去营构一种气氛,让读者沉湎其中,领味和思考人物的命运。“一块八毛七分钱”为这个“没有曲折、不足为奇的故事”营构的忧郁凄凉的气氛始终贯穿全文,即使写到夫妇看到礼物时的瞬时惊喜和欢乐时也明显地带有这种气氛袒露的伤痛。“人生是由啜泣、抽噎和微笑组成的,而抽噎占了其中绝大部分”。这句话似乎折射出欧·亨利对当时美国现实的深沉思考。作家写出了一对贫穷夫妇的痛苦,也在对人物思想性格和故事情节的描写中,把读者的趣味引向高尚的境界,给人以启迪,让人从中获得美的陶冶。这是《麦琪的礼物》这篇小说真正价值之所在。
德拉为了给丈夫心爱的金表配上一副精巧的表链,忍痛卖掉自己一头美丽的头发。那“美丽的头发披散在身上,像一股褐色的小瀑布,奔泻闪亮”,丈夫吉姆非常喜爱妻子这头美丽的褐发。他深知爱妻为了装扮头发对百老汇路上一家商店橱窗里陈列的玳瑁发梳渴望已久。为了在圣诞前夕给爱妻赠送玳瑁发梳作为有价值的“麦琪的礼物”,吉姆也忍痛卖掉了三代祖传的金表。德拉的美发和吉姆的金表,是这个贫穷家庭中唯一引为自豪的珍贵财产。为了对爱人表示深挚的爱,他们在圣诞之夜失去了这两件最珍贵的财产,换来了已无金表与之匹配的表链和已无美发借之装扮的发梳。瞬间的欢乐付出了昂贵的代价,而随之而来的无疑是深深的痛苦。欧·亨利经过对现实生活的深沉思考之后,精心筛选了这个故事的主要情节,使这类易入俗套的题材焕发出奇异动人的光彩。金表和美发,对这个每星期只收入20块钱的家庭来说是一笔不可复得的巨大财富。这个遗憾带来的苦涩感,使每个善良的读者心扉颤栗。这个凝聚着社会现实生活无法解决的真实矛盾(爱情和财富)因作家深沉的文笔而倍增真实,更能引起读者的怜悯和同情,并将他们引入更深刻的思考中去。欧·亨利的短篇小说一向不以奇诡情节取胜,揭示复杂的社会生活往往不过摄取其中一个镜头,但那种刻意追求的以情动人的独特艺术效果,却能透过“没有曲折、不足为奇的故事”冲击读者的心扉。德拉和吉姆为了一时的感情冲动,“极不聪明地为了对方牺牲了他们一家最宝贵的东西”,作家把他们称作“两个住在一间公寓里的笨孩子”。在那个唯金钱万能的社会中,他们的礼物不能算作是智慧的“麦琪的礼物”。但是,他们失去了财富,却加深了人世间最可宝贵的真挚的爱情。在爱情与财富的矛盾中他们为了前者牺牲了后者。所以,作家在小说末尾留下了一段意味深长的话:“让我们对目前一般聪明人说最后一句话,在所有馈赠礼物的人当中,他们两个是最聪明的……他们就是麦琪。”
小说揭示社会现实不靠说教,而是用人物感情起伏的发展变化引为脉络,启发读者去触摸、感受人物带有悲剧色彩的思想性格。在那个金钱可以买卖爱情,心理和感情出现畸变的社会中,德拉夫妇之间真挚深厚的爱充满了作家的理想主义的色彩。欧·亨利不写这个社会中金钱作贱爱情的罪恶,偏去写这个晦暗镜头中的诗情画意,去赞扬德拉夫妇的聪慧,这绝非常人手笔。所以,作品给人的不是消沉和晦暗,而是对美的追求和眷恋,从而把读者引向高尚的境界。
一般说来,短篇小说因其篇幅短小,要求作家以“少少许”胜“多多许”,就必须笔墨凝练,刻画人物风姿只能抓住一两个侧面去作速写勾勒。其难度在某种程度上未必比中、长篇小。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。
以下是谷歌找到的英文评论:
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?
英文评论:"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《麦琪的礼物》英文读后感
《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.

Ⅲ 怎样组织英语教学是课堂更有成效的英语作文
经过审题,根据自己的提纲学生开始用英文写作。这期间要提醒学生注意英文的标点符号和书写习惯,并指导学生注意自己文章第一段的开头句和最后一段的点题句;按照空间或逻辑四维的顺讯把自己文章有序地分为各个独立的自然段,注意段落之间的衔接是否自然和恰当。写完后进行初稿的修改。众所周知好文章都是改出来的,许多学生不肯在修改上下功夫,他们认为修改是老师的事。但如果不善于修改自己的文章和别人的文章,写作能力都有所局限难以提高。初稿的修改我觉得用小组合作学习的策略比较好。这种方式以三人小组为单位,互相帮对方批改,每人需要看别人两篇作文,也可被修改两次。它要求组员通过交流共同来完成学习任务,学生通过批评性的阅读别人的作文,可以学到更多的写作知识和技巧。在批改的过程中,他们需要加倍留心同伴语法上的错误,因此学得更深更广和更活。改完后,学生根据同伴给自己划出的错误进行修改并加以反思。
3.教师的二次修改和评价
教师的批改是写作教学的重要组成部分,批改中教师扮演的角色就在于肯定学生的成绩。通过第一次的学生修改,学生交上来的作文大多都条理清晰,无语法错误。教师在批改过程中就应该尽可能的让学生体验成功的喜悦,多写激励性和表扬性的批注。
对于个别还有语法错误的学生要考虑是否母语基础也差,不能一概而论,也可以进行面批多给予其关注。对于第一次修改中集体出现的错误,教师应当集体讲评,帮助学生反复练习加以巩固。书写工整流畅,作文优美的范文可以张贴在班级的英语角或学生园地。这样可以最大化的激励学生的写作热情,肯定他们的进步,并刺激其他学生的进取心。
总之,英语写作是学生英语能力的综合体现,是一种长期积累的成果。我们只有在平时的课堂教学中,始终把写作训练视为英语教学的重要内容,创造性地使用教材,不断改进教学方法,培养学生良好学习方法和语言习惯,加强写作技巧指导,有计划、有策略、有系统地引导学生进行积极有效的写作训练,肯定能使学生厚积薄发,写出行文通顺、流畅有文采的佳篇妙作来。

Ⅶ 英语小短文一般用什么教学方法
英语并非我们的第一语言,所以要想学好英语,对很多朋友来说好比“蜀道难,难于上青天”。其实,只要你找到学英语的正确方法,要想学好英语根本不是问题,快速学好英语更不是一个问题。那么,到底有什么方法可以快速学好英语呢?一、学习英语的首要理念:要努力去了解“是什么”,而尽量少去了解“为什么”。因为英语是语言,是人们在长期生活中逐渐形成的一种交流的媒介。很多语汇和句型的用法没有道理可讲,没有“为什么”可言,人们就是这样用的,就是这样说的,记住就好。当然了,仔细分析起来或许可以找到语法上的解释,但实在不是学习英语的宗旨。婴儿时期,我们学说话的时候,从来没有问过“为什么会这么说”吧,但是为什么后来会说的这么好?因为我们听的多,说的多,自然就记在脑子里了,即使不去分析这样说的原因和道理,一样可以说的很好。二、学习英语的最好方法:多朗读。英语学习者往往对朗读不太重视。事实上朗读的妙用大矣!1.锻炼英语的发音,语调与节奏;2.使口腔各发音部位灵活,增进说英语时的流利程度;3.使耳朵增加听英语的机会,从而提高英语听力;4.充分应用读书四到:眼到,口到,耳到,心到——比默读时更能记住所读的教材。我们也可以说朗读是会话的基本练习,没有朗读习惯的人是很难学成会话的。三、学习英语要善用录音带锻炼听说能力有些学习者总是习惯于一边看书一边听磁带,把磁带当成阅读的辅助工具,这样打不到锻炼听力的目的。录音带应该是以听说能力的训练为主。学习者要选用与自己能力相适应的听力磁带,不要急于求成,以免产生受挫心理。先反复聆听磁带内容,起先只要抓住梗概,多听几次后,对细节的了解便越来越多。听力较差的人,可先阅读课文,然后再集中精力领会每段每句的意思。这样练习有助于培养倾听时注意力的集中,使您的听力迅速进步。四、学习英语要善于利用零碎时间。英语学习不是靠突击可以学好的,一下子花上好几个小时拼命学英语,是无济于事的。它的特点在于“细水常流”。每天花上十几分钟的零碎时间听,背一段课文,记几个单词,长期坚持,逐渐会得到提高的。英语学习的进步不象数理化,努力一段时间可以马上在分数上立杆见影。英语学习的成效往往在于:无意间发觉自己能听懂以前一直当“天书”听的英文歌曲的歌词了;自己想表达的意思可以用更为妥帖的词汇表达了;平时听着仅有催眠效果的英语新闻竟然听懂了大部分……这些“润物细无声”的感觉才是感觉到自己英语学习进步了的表现。那些所谓的“拼命念了一段时间英语,考试成绩马上上去了”的现象,只能说在英语应试方面有暂时的能力提高,时间稍微久一点,就会原形必露:话到口边,还是不知道用什么词汇表达;很常用的词汇却听不懂,不知道中文意思,听不明白很简单的对话……这就是应试教育的结果。五、学习英语要从电视,电影中学习英语看英文电视,电影不仅能了解西方人的文化和生活,而且也是学习地道英语和提高英语听力的好机会。选取的影片最好是以现代生活为背景的文艺片或喜剧片。如果您的听力不错,要养成不看字幕的习惯。程度稍差的就不要勉强自己,否则英语没学成反倒破坏了欣赏电影的好心情。这种情况下,您可以先看字幕了解剧情(如果是电视节目那就要先录下来),再重新看一至数遍,您的听力就可在轻松的心情下,随着您对剧情了解的增多而迅速提高。六、唱歌学习英语比朗诵英文诗更有效的是唱英文歌曲。唱英文歌可以帮您练习发音(pronunciation),语调(intonation)和节奏(rhythm),又可以让您在很愉快的心情下背会很多单词和句型,真是一举数得。所选的英文歌曲最好语言优美,语法正规。起先可以从童谣入手,再渐渐的学唱抒情歌曲。学唱之前先要将歌词朗读几遍再跟着磁带学唱,唱熟后能背更好。
Ⅷ 阅读英语故事短文能对英语学习起到什么作用
网络知道是国内做的比较好的问答平台,所以希望我的回答不止能够帮助到你一个人!到现在外语几乎已经成为了我们的第二语言,但是很多人学习了很久还是学不好。但其实有很多学习方法是很有用的,只是你不够坚持,不够努力
其中你提到的看故事短文就是其中一个简单却很有用的方法,外语的本质是一门语言,语言的基础是什么?是词汇量,我们在学的时候不能只局限于课本内的词汇,多看看课外的名著或者短文可以有效的积攒词汇量。
除此之外,在读的过程中一定不能偷懒要勤做积累,把看到的难点词汇和句子积累下来进行重复温习效果才会更好!
Ⅸ 英语短篇小说读后感(英文版,应付作业)
小王子<Little Prince>这篇可以参考下:)~
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year’s life experience, it’s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence
