The Last Leaf 作者简介：
O.Henry（1862～1910）,是美国20世纪初颇受读者欢迎的短篇小说家.他原名William Sydney Porter,出生于美国北卡罗来纳州.30多岁开始写短篇小说.一生共创作了约300篇短篇小说,显示出他非同凡响的艺术才华.
O.Henry擅长编造故事情节.他的故事结构紧凑,语言精练,结局往往出人意表,对现代短篇小说影响较大.在他的小说中,写得最好的是关于纽约的那些,他把纽约曼哈顿区一带的街道、小饭馆、破旧的公寓的气氛描写得既生动又逼真,故有“曼哈顿的桂冠诗人”之称.
内容简介：
《The Last Leaf》（最后一片叶子）是O.Henry较有代表性的作品,突出反映了他的写作风格和特点.
年轻贫穷的画家Johnsy不幸染上肺炎,女友Sue竭尽全力照料她,但她的病情仍不见好转.万念俱灰的Johnsy放弃了生存的欲望,准备在窗外对面墙上常春藤的最后一片叶子凋落坠地时,撒手人寰.另一位一生未画出重大作品的老画家Behrman为了救她,连夜冒雨爬上墙头画了一片藤叶,他自己因而染上肺炎,两天后去世.老画家所画的最后一片叶子,成了他的毕生杰作.
原文最后段落赏析：
"I have something to tell you," she said,"Mr.Behrman died of pneumonia today in the hospital.He was ill only two days.The janitor found him on the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpness with pain.His shoes and clothes were soaking wet and ice cold.They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a dreadful night.And then they found a lantern,still lighted,and a ladder that had been dragged from its place,and some scattered brushes,and a palette with green and yellow colors mixed on it,and——look out the window,dear,at the last ivy leaf on the wall.Didn't you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew?Ah,darling,it's Behrman's masterpiece——he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell."
评论：
The last leaf is symbol of the leaf of life.It is the most treasured gift from an old artist!
The story described a young couple of good friends.It's Johnsy and Sue.After a period of happy time,Johnsy encounted the Mr.Pneumonia in a cold night in November.One day afternoon,she was desperatly looking out of the window and was counting the leaves on the ivy tree.She firmly convinced that she would leave the world after the last leaf fell.She hadn't any passion for the furture life!Hadn't none other better ways,Sue had to ask the help of the Mr.Behrman.And old poor artist who lived on the ground floor beneath them!
He was a failure in art.he has been always about to paint a masterpiece,but had never begun it.Af firstly,he was very scornful about this frustrated girl who was giving up her life after hearing of the last leaf story from Sue.Actually,in this old man's feeling inside,he earnestly wanted to save this poor and young girl.He panited the last vivid and lovely leaf throughout a dreadful night.Finally,this materpiece has been completed,and Johnsy kindled the life fire again.However,Mr.Behame died of the Pneumonia.
The story ended here,but,the sincere friendship would never stop forever!It is penetrating in every sentence of this essay,and it is also hovering in the reader's heart!Let us respect this best art-man!Meanwhile,I also associate him with my parents.They breed us and cultivate us!They have given us their best presents!We shall do all of our efferots to return the contributions to them!

结 尾 也 有 艺 术 美
——写 好 文 章 的 结 尾 之 二
【技法指导】
有人说,文章写到最后一句,已经不是你写文章,而是文章写你.是的.俗话说：“编筐编篓,全在收口.”收口好坏,直接决定着筐篓质量的高低.作文也是如此.
写好文章的结尾,除了可以于平平常常之中显其纯真之外,还可以讲求一些艺术之美.
一、联想（或想象）式结尾——结尾采用联想或想象,以求言简而意丰,辞约而旨远的艺术效果.
联想是由一事物想到另一事物的心理过程.想象是一种有目的的、主动的、创造性的思维活动.它们在写作活动中起着重要的作用.结尾时的想象和联想,更是作者心灵深处溅出的一朵富有诗意的浪花,往往蕴涵着深刻的涵义和思想性.例如杨朔先生的《荔枝蜜》以“这天夜里,我做了个奇怪的梦,梦见自己变成一只小蜜蜂.”结尾.梦境中,作者联想到自己,是心中强烈愿望的表现.他梦见自己变成一只小蜜蜂,他愿意置身于劳动人民的队伍里,给社会贡献“极好的东西”.人生的价值,就在于给人以“极好的东西”,这就是作者运用联想传达给读者的一个不朽的至理.作品结尾虽只有一句话,却蕴涵着丰富的意义和感情,这便是联想和想象的功效.
二、抒情点题式结尾——文末抒发情怀,以情传理,使读者在感情的陶冶中增强信念.这种结尾妙在用文章燃烧起来的炽烈情感点燃读者心中的火焰.例如彭荆风的《驿路梨花》就是这样结尾的——
我望着这群朝气的哈尼小姑娘和那洁白的梨花,不由得想起了一句诗：“驿路梨花处处开.“
作者引用陆游的诗句,使梨花寓意双关,点明本文的主题：这盛开的梨花,不仅仅是自然界的梨花；还是哈尼族小姑娘的代名词；更是世代相传的雷锋精神的象征.
朱自清先生的散文《背影》中以“我”读父亲来信时,在晶莹的泪光中再次浮现了父亲的背影作结,一句“唉!我不知何时再能与他相见”,寄托了儿子对父亲深沉的思念,更激起了读者对善良纯朴、爱子至深的父亲的同情、敬重和赞美,感人至深的亲情也深深打动了读者.
三、创造意境式结尾——通过描写来创设意境,唤起读者的共鸣.
文章贵在把深刻的思想、动人的感情通过生动的画面表现出来,使内情与外物相融合,深意与画面相交织,从而打动读者,感染读者,唤起丰富的联想.在文章中,外物就是客观事物,内情就是作者的思想感情.意境,则是二者融合而成的艺术境界、艺术画面.以《春》为例——
“春天象刚落地的娃娃,从头到脚都是新的,它生长着.
春天象小姑娘,花枝招展的,笑着,走着.
春天象健壮的青年,有铁一般的胳膊和腰脚,领着我们上前去.”
一组排比,三个比喻,绘出了春天的“新”、“美”、“壮”；虽不着一“爱”字,然而作者对春天的喜爱、赞美之情溢于言表；虽不着眼于具体景物的描绘,而境界全出.“娃娃”、“小姑娘”、“青年”,点明了春天的成长进程；“领着我们向前去”,表达了作者追求美好未来的强烈感情.意和境在作者对春天的描写中协调统一,浑然一体.
同样,莫泊桑《我的叔叔于勒》结尾部分对那片紫色阴影的描绘,既是对现实景物的描写,又是对人物失望、沮丧的心情的烘托,可谓意随境生,境由意起.
四、欧·亨利式的结尾——既在情理之中,又在意料之外,具有“突转”艺术的结尾.
邹世华的小说《英雄一语》讲了这样一个故事：一位天生丽质的姑娘在遇歹徒抢击银行时,挺身而出,被砍了数刀,保住了国家财产.当领导、同行、记者来到医院探望,等候着她的惊天动地的话语时,姑娘一醒来的第一句话是向人要一面镜子.结尾处,文章这样写道——
英雄有些吃力地把镜子举起来,朝着自己的脸庞上下左右地照了一会儿.
“没有伤着脸……”英雄又说了一句话,然后甜甜地笑了.
两位领导面面相觑,《晚报》记者手中的笔在空中停下,只有录象机把英雄的笑真实地记录了下来.
这样一个“陡转”的结尾,既在意料之外——出乎在场所有人的意料；又在情理之中——心灵美的姑娘也爱外表美.
清人袁枚曾说过：“凡做人贵直,而做诗文贵曲.”结尾“突转”,是文曲多变的技法之一,它能使文章情节跌宕,波澜起伏,产生令人回味的无穷魅力.
文章的结尾没有固定模式,但求新求异,求别具一格是相同的.无论你用哪一种结尾方法,都要注意变化创新.

【名篇精段】

（故事情节：在一位将军的率领下,一支红军部队在漫天飞风更狂了.大风报告书上可以看出：小B静不下来,成绩上不去；小C稳重,成绩好.
小B的爸爸常让他向小C学习.可小B反而瞧不起小C.
一次,老师告诉大家《作文报》征稿,于是他俩都投了稿.
一天早晨,教室里.
“小B,你的文章发表了.”一个同学喊着.“真的?拿来我看.”正欲和同学较手劲的小B闻声跑了过来.他一把抓过报纸一瞧,果然,他的文章被印成铅字儿.他把报纸扔给了那个同学.“哈哈,咱的作文发表了.”小B狂叫着,站在小C面前,“怎么样?……”
“小C,上面也有你的文章.”那个拿报纸的同学喊道.“什么?”小B一惊,夺过报纸瞪大了眼,不错!停了一会,小B对同学们说：“稿费来了我做东,给大家买好吃的,你呢?”他问小C.小C说：“我想买几本书给大家!”“好!”同学们欢呼着,小B 却有些嫉妒.
“现在,让班长念念两人的作品,我们欣赏一下.”一个同学提议.小B 又神气起来：“让你们见识一下咱的水平.”但他没有说出声来.
班长仔细看了看报纸,笑了.大家莫名其妙,围上去一看,原来,小C的文章发表在作文园地一栏,而小B的文章却在文章病院一栏.
〖点评〗 这篇短文写得生动活泼,情节安排巧妙,集中刻画了小B的神态和性格,正当小B傲视于小C,神气十足时,文章写道：“小C的文章发表在作文园地一栏,而小B的文章却在文章病院一栏.”,这是典型的欧·哼利式的结尾.意料之外,情理之中,使人忍俊不禁.
昨 日 重 现
邵静莉
“当我小的时候,我特爱听音乐……”每当听到这首歌,就会勾起我对昨天的回忆.
回首昔日美好的日子,感悟昨天,她是多么令人难以忘怀啊!可也许,昨天曾给你带来苦涩和乏味,但是没有关系,想想明天,一个崭新的日子,你就会有金色的希望,涌动的激情.
在每个人的心底深处都藏着一段美好的回忆,也许就是那段记忆给你留下了深刻的印象.你可能想让这一幕再次重演?
我也有过这种欲望.
我向往大海,儿时一次不平常的观海,让我对大海产生了永不磨灭的感情.我常神游于大海的浩瀚,回味它如诗的韵味,如画的魅力.
爸爸知道我的心思,带着我和妈妈再次来到海的身边,并在海边租了一套房子.爸妈各自忙他们的事去了,我一个人在那里出神的望着,仿佛昨天就在眼前,体会到一种从未有过的亲切感.
夜幕降临,一轮弯弯的月亮悄悄地爬上了天空,皎洁而银白的光辉洒在海面上,波光粼粼的,使海增添了几分神秘.海的一举一动都被我看得清清楚楚,我甚至还听到了海的心跳.海边的晚上是很凉的,妈妈帮我披上了毛毯.我偎依在妈妈的怀里,倾听着那海浪的声音,大海好像在诉说着无数的故事.我有了一种迫不及待要了解他的欲望,可父亲说,今天太晚了,明天早点吧.只要起得早,还能看到海上日出呢.
忍受了一晚的思念,一大早,我就催着爸爸去看日出.登上海边的山,爬上那高高的山顶,俯视大海,领略着大海的波澜壮阔,享受着迎面吹来的海风,那滋味只能用一个字来表达——爽.
突然间,天际出现了彩霞.太阳像出浴的姑娘,羞羞答答地站起.挥洒青春的魅力,给海面披上了一层夺目的薄纱,增添了无穷的神韵……
美好的时光总是短暂的,昨日重现,给我美的回忆.
〖点评〗 重现昨日美好的向往,重现昨日难忘的经历.作者的笔处处含情.而结尾短短的20字,两次以“美”字作结,将自己的感受迁移给了读者,抒情性强,收到了良好的艺术效果.

作者采用的是欲扬先抑的写作手法以及典型的“欧·亨利式结尾”.粗俗的语言反而更能突出他对乔安西的关心.
没有矛盾.作者采用的是欲扬先抑的写作手法,从“两位女作家的看家猛犬”、“一双红眼睛睁不停流眼泪”等多处可以看出贝尔曼心地善良.他虽然邋遢粗俗、嗜酒如命,但舍己为人、博爱善良的精神还是无法磨灭的.

O.Henry was the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter William Sydney PorterWilliam Sydney PorterWilliam Sydney Porter (September 11,1862–June 5,1910),whose clever use of twist endings in his stories popularized the term "O.Henry Ending".Note that his middle name at birth was Sidney,not Sydney; he later changed the spelling of his middle name when he first began writing as a journalist in the 1880s.

《最后一片叶子》,一译《最后的长春藤》,他描写患肺炎的穷学生琼西看着窗外对面情上的爬山虎叶子不断被风吹落,他说,最后一片叶子代表她,它的飘落,代表自己的死亡.贝尔曼,一个伟大的画家,在听完苏讲述完同学琼西的故事后,在最后一片叶子飘落,下着暴雨的夜里,用心灵的画笔画出了一片“永不凋落”的长春藤叶,编造了一个善良且真实的谎言,而自己却从此患上肺炎,一病不起.

The Meaning of Gift
O.Henry was born in Greensboro,North Carolina.His father,Algemon Sidney Porter,was a physician.When William was three,his mother died,and he was raised by his parental grandmother and paternal aunt.William was an avid reader,but at the age of fifteen he left school and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch.He continued to Houston,where he had a number of jobs,including that of bank clerk.After moving in 1882 to Texas,he worked on a ranch in LaSalle County for two years.In 1887 he married Athol Estes Roach; they had one daughter and one son.,he died in New York on June 5th 1910.
In this novel,there are many short ficition,every of them are worth reading,but The Gift of the Magi left me a deep impression is,I think this is a good article I have ever read,it is meaningful.
In this article,O.Henry used his style of writing narrated a winding and simple story with humorous and a light sad,in western literary area this theme of presenting the gift in the Christmas eve is so ordinary,some of them is wonderful,but I think The Gift of the Magi is the best one.
First,let鈥檚 looked from the content.the entire article took one pair of poorly love husbands and wives in American presenting the Christmas gift as a middle line,The family housewife in order to save each coin,she count each one.Even though,entire family only left one dollar and eighty-seven cents on Christmas Eve.The author did not describe much about the poor family,he used one dollar and eighty-seven cents to draw the whole novel,the housewife Della who loves her husband deeply count the money three times,she cried sadly for she could not buy her husband an satisfactory gift.O.Henry was good at using little words to make the sketch and build atmosphere,then the reader will lost in the article,tasting and pondering the character's destiny.The gloomy atmosphere which was built by one dollar and eighty-seven cents through the whole novel,even when the couples saw gifts,it still contained a little pain.The author had written a poor husband's and wife's pain,also enlightens for the people let them obtain beautiful influencing and lead the reader鈥檚 interest to a deep boundary when he was describe the character鈥檚 thought disposition and plot.This is the true value of The Gift of the Magi.
In order to give her husband an exquisite watch chain,Della sold her beautiful hair though his husband James loved it.James realized that Della had worshipped long for the set of combs,side and back,in Broadway window,he also sold his valuable watch which belonged his grandparents.Della鈥檚 hair and James鈥 gold watch is the most precious property which in this poor family.In order to expresses the deep sincere love to the spouse,all of them had lost these two at the Christmas eve.Happiness in a twinkling had paid the expensive price,but following is the deep pain.after consider the true life ,O Henry had screened the main plot carefully,made this ordinary theme bright again,gold watch and beautiful hair are the great wealth for the poor family which gain 20 dollar per week,This regret brought astringent feeling,caused each reader鈥檚 heart to tremble.This is condensing the real contradiction which the social real life is unable to solve multiplies really because of the writer deep style of writing,cause reader's pitying with the sympathy,and lead them to a more profound ponder.For a while sentimental impulse Della and James had extremely sacrificed most precious thing for each other.In those only money all-powerful societies,their gift can not regard as wisdom,they lost wealth,but they deepened the precious sincere love.In love and in wealth contradiction they have sacrificed the latter.
The novel revelation society reality does not depend on preaching,but depend on the development of character鈥檚 emotion.Inspires the reader to touch,feels the character who have the tragedy color.In this society which money can buy love,psychology and sentiment appear the distortion,the sincere deep love between James and Della has filled with writer鈥檚 idealism.O.Hery oes not write the money to ruin love in this society,but wrote the artistic flavor in this gloomy lens,admired the intelligence of James and Della,This is certainly unusual manpower pen,Therefore,the work gives us is not depression and gloomy,But is the beautiful pursue and the attachment,Thus lead the reader to the noble boundary.
Processing novel ending,Is O Henry鈥檚 most creative contribution,also causes him enjoys the great reputation in American and in the world history of literature.He is good at designing plot theatrically,lays down the foreshadowing,finally appears a beyond expectation result in the ending which makes the reader to feel suddenly sees the light,joy after sorrow,also beside anticipation and in reason,strike the table and shout bravo.
O Henry is worth the world famous novelist,his excellent writing technique enabled his novel to have the title of O.Henry.
I have read many kinds of article,before reading O.Henry鈥檚 article,I liked detective book,but after reading this book,I knew short fiction is better,Henry鈥檚 humors gave me a deep impression,it will never feel boring no matter how many times you have read.

后文其实是写他内心的温情,这样的外貌和内心的对照,在结尾处会震撼一些.
不过,其实欧亨利也是在比较真实地刻画艺术家的生活吧,性格怪异吗?我觉得以他的工作和生活环境看,算不上怪异.
我觉得原因主要在于后者,至于什么手法,可能根本没有刻意考虑过,我们YY的而已= =|||

1、麦琪是指神圣的使者,这里代指高尚的个人情操.
2、因为夫妇俩都能为了给予对方而献出自己最宝贵的东西,这种精神已经超越了圣者,故而说他们就是麦琪.
3、作者用细腻的笔触,描绘了一对普通夫妇在贫寒窘迫的生活中自得其乐的幸福生活,用对其贫寒的描绘,凸显各自拥有的最宝贵的东西的重要,而在为了对方的时候,又能毫不犹豫地舍弃掉自己最宝贵的,来换得给对方最好的礼物,尽管他们都“失算”了,命运给他们开了一个不小的玩笑,可是从中他们都看到更加宝贵的东西,为了失去自己最宝贵的而惋惜流泪的时候,面对更加宝贵的情意,让人不禁又微笑起来……通过特殊的叙事手法描绘的故事,更加有力的撼动了读者的心,从而达到感人至深的效果.

O. Henry was the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862–June 5, 1910), whose clever use of twist endings in his stories popularized the term "O. Henry Ending". His middle name at birth was Sidney, not Sydney; he later changed the spelling of his middle name when he first began writing as a journalist in the 1880s.
Early life
William Sidney Porter was born in 1862 on a plantation "Worth Place" in Greensboro, North Carolina. When William was three, his mother died from tuberculosis, and he and his father moved to the home of his paternal grandmother.
William was an avid reader, and graduated from his aunt's elementary school in 1876, then enrolled at the Linsey Street High School. In 1879 he started working as a bookkeeper in his uncle's drugstore and in 1881 – at the age of nineteen – he was licensed as a pharmacist.
The Move to Texas
He relocated to Texas in 1882, initially working on a ranch in La Salle County as a sheep herder and ranch hand, then Austin where he took a number of different jobs over the next several years, including pharmacist, draftsman, journalist, and clerk. While in Texas he also learned Spanish.
In 1887 he eloped with Athol Estes, then eighteen years old and from a wealthy family. Her family objected to the match because both she and Porter suffered from tuberculosis. Athol gave birth to a son in 1888, who died shortly after birth, and then a daughter, Margaret, in 1889.
In 1894 Porter started a humorous weekly called The Rolling Stone. Also in 1894, Porter resigned from the First National Bank of Austin where he had worked as a teller, after he was accused of embezzling funds. In 1895, after The Rolling Stone ceased publication, he moved to Houston, where he started writing for the Houston Post. Shortly thereafter, he was arrested for embezzlement in connection with his previous employment in Austin.
Flight and Return
Porter was granted bond, but the day before he was due to stand trial on July 7, 1896, he absconded to New Orleans and later to Honduras. However, in 1897, when he learned that his wife was dying, he returned to the United States and surrendered to the court, pending an appeal.
Athol Estes Porter died July 25, 1897. Porter was found guilty of embezzlement, sentenced to five years jail, and imprisoned April 25, 1898 at the Ohio State Penitentiary. He was released on July 24, 1901 for good behaviour after serving three years.
Origin of Pen Name
Porter published at least twelve stories while in prison to help support his daughter. Not wanting his readers to know he was in jail, he started using the pen name "O. Henry". It is believed that Porter got this name from one of the guards who was named Orrin Henry. However, there is much debate on this issue: one Porter biographer asserts that the name was derived from a girlfriend's cat, which answered to "Oh, Henry!" Guy Davenport, meanwhile, wrote that the name was a condensation of "Ohio Penitentiary". It also could be an abbreviation of the name of French pharmacist, Etienne-Ossian Henry, who is referred to in the U.S. Dispensatory, a reference work Porter used when he was in the prison pharmacy. Further confusing the issue is that for at least one short story, and for a later autobiographical author profile, Porter signed the "full" name Olivier Henry.
Porter also used a number of other noms de plume, most notably "Alex, Longford", and continued using a variety of pen names full-time when he took a writing contract for Ainslee's Magazine in New York City shortly after his release from prison. Eventually, "O. Henry" became the name that was most recognized by magazine editors and the reading public, and therefore led to the greatest fees for story sales. Accordingly, after about 1903 Porter used the "O. Henry" byline exclusively.
In fact, after his prison term Porter almost never identified himself in print by his real name, even in private correspondence to close friends. To editors, he was simply O. Henry (or occasionally Olivier Henry). When writing to friends, however, he would routinely sign his letters with one of a wide range of deliberately nonsensical pseudonyms, such as "Horatio Swampwater".
A Brief Stay At The Top
Porter married again in 1907 to his childhood sweetheart, Sarah Lindsey Coleman. However, despite the success of his short stories being published in magazines and collections (or perhaps because of the attendant pressure success brought), Porter became an alcoholic. Sarah left him in 1909, and he died in 1910 of cirrhosis of the liver. After funeral services in New York City, he was buried in Asheville, North Carolina. His daughter, Margaret Worth Porter, died in 1927 and was buried with her father.
Attempts were made to secure a presidential pardon for Porter during the administrations of Woodrow Wilson, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. However, each attempt was met with the assertion that the Justice Department did not recommend pardons after death. This policy was clearly altered during the administration of Bill Clinton (who pardoned Henry Flipper), so the question of a pardon for O. Henry may yet again see the light of day.
Stories
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.
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—the 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 Baghdad on the Subway, and many of his stories are set there—but others are set in small towns and in other cities.
His famous story 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.
Fundamentally a product 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 grifter", 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 individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy South 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.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. O. Henry is so famous for his unexpected plot twists that this warning is especially important.
A famous story of his, "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 conduct, 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.
In A Retrieved Reformation, safecracker Jimmy Valntine gets a job in a small town bank to case it for a robbery. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with the banker's daughter, and decides to go straight.

（1）因为她本来把自己的生命寄托在常春藤叶上，觉得常春藤叶落光的时候，她的生命也结束了。等到贝尔曼先生在最后一片藤叶掉落的时候在墙上画了一幅杰作——最后的常春藤叶。那片叶子总是不落下，琼珊慢慢地开始反思，觉得自己之前的想法是多么的错误，重新燃起生的希望。总之，最后的常春藤叶给琼珊带去了生的希望，从而挽救了她的生命。（2） 冬天一定会到，树上的叶也一定会落尽——藤叶也不例外。不要以为这是树木斗不过天，它是无能的，也是无奈的。因为这恰恰体现了树木的一种智慧，为了明年春天的萌发，它实在没有必要死守着最后一片叶子，苦苦地挣扎，为此耗尽了最后一丝力量。 　　因为，叶子落尽并未表示生命的死亡或者希望彻底地成为泡影；反之，这是一种大智的等待，重新萌生的希望——在它落尽最后一片叶子时，新的希望，也就在叶子落下的叶柄处悄悄地孕育了，萌生了。然后是静静地、静静地等待。此时的静静也就像沉睡的火山，一旦春天到来，它就以不可阻挡之势爆发出来了。（3）因为这片叶子给予的病人生的希望和信念，表现了普通人之间的无私和情意，闪烁着人性的光辉。

The Meaning of Gift
O.Henry was born in Greensboro,North Carolina.His father,Algemon Sidney Porter,was a physician.When William was three,his mother died,and he was raised by his parental grandmother and paternal aunt.William was an avid reader,but at the age of fifteen he left school and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch.He continued to Houston,where he had a number of jobs,including that of bank clerk.After moving in 1882 to Texas,he worked on a ranch in LaSalle County for two years.In 1887 he married Athol Estes Roach; they had one daughter and one son.,he died in New York on June 5th 1910.
In this novel,there are many short ficition,every of them are worth reading,but The Gift of the Magi left me a deep impression is,I think this is a good article I have ever read,it is meaningful.
In this article,O.Henry used his style of writing narrated a winding and simple story with humorous and a light sad,in western literary area this theme of presenting the gift in the Christmas eve is so ordinary,some of them is wonderful,but I think The Gift of the Magi is the best one.
First,let鈥檚 looked from the content.the entire article took one pair of poorly love husbands and wives in American presenting the Christmas gift as a middle line,The family housewife in order to save each coin,she count each one.Even though,entire family only left one dollar and eighty-seven cents on Christmas Eve.The author did not describe much about the poor family,he used one dollar and eighty-seven cents to draw the whole novel,the housewife Della who loves her husband deeply count the money three times,she cried sadly for she could not buy her husband an satisfactory gift.O.Henry was good at using little words to make the sketch and build atmosphere,then the reader will lost in the article,tasting and pondering the character's destiny.The gloomy atmosphere which was built by one dollar and eighty-seven cents through the whole novel,even when the couples saw gifts,it still contained a little pain.The author had written a poor husband's and wife's pain,also enlightens for the people let them obtain beautiful influencing and lead the reader鈥檚 interest to a deep boundary when he was describe the character鈥檚 thought disposition and plot.This is the true value of The Gift of the Magi.
In order to give her husband an exquisite watch chain,Della sold her beautiful hair though his husband James loved it.James realized that Della had worshipped long for the set of combs,side and back,in Broadway window,he also sold his valuable watch which belonged his grandparents.Della鈥檚 hair and James鈥 gold watch is the most precious property which in this poor family.In order to expresses the deep sincere love to the spouse,all of them had lost these two at the Christmas eve.Happiness in a twinkling had paid the expensive price,but following is the deep pain.after consider the true life ,O Henry had screened the main plot carefully,made this ordinary theme bright again,gold watch and beautiful hair are the great wealth for the poor family which gain 20 dollar per week,This regret brought astringent feeling,caused each reader鈥檚 heart to tremble.This is condensing the real contradiction which the social real life is unable to solve multiplies really because of the writer deep style of writing,cause reader's pitying with the sympathy,and lead them to a more profound ponder.For a while sentimental impulse Della and James had extremely sacrificed most precious thing for each other.In those only money all-powerful societies,their gift can not regard as wisdom,they lost wealth,but they deepened the precious sincere love.In love and in wealth contradiction they have sacrificed the latter.
The novel revelation society reality does not depend on preaching,but depend on the development of character鈥檚 emotion.Inspires the reader to touch,feels the character who have the tragedy color.In this society which money can buy love,psychology and sentiment appear the distortion,the sincere deep love between James and Della has filled with writer鈥檚 idealism.O.Hery oes not write the money to ruin love in this society,but wrote the artistic flavor in this gloomy lens,admired the intelligence of James and Della,This is certainly unusual manpower pen,Therefore,the work gives us is not depression and gloomy,But is the beautiful pursue and the attachment,Thus lead the reader to the noble boundary.
Processing novel ending,Is O Henry鈥檚 most creative contribution,also causes him enjoys the great reputation in American and in the world history of literature.He is good at designing plot theatrically,lays down the foreshadowing,finally appears a beyond expectation result in the ending which makes the reader to feel suddenly sees the light,joy after sorrow,also beside anticipation and in reason,strike the table and shout bravo.
O Henry is worth the world famous novelist,his excellent writing technique enabled his novel to have the title of O.Henry.
I have read many kinds of article,before reading O.Henry鈥檚 article,I liked detective book,but after reading this book,I knew short fiction is better,Henry鈥檚 humors gave me a deep impression,it will never feel boring no matter how many times you have read

A SERVICE OF LOVE
When one loves one's Art no service seems too hard.
That is our premise.This story shall draw a conclusion from it,and show at the same time that the premise is incorrect.That will be a new thing in logic,and a feat in story-telling somewhat older than the great wall of China.
Joe Larrabee came out of the post-oak flats of the Middle West pulsing with a genius for pictorial art.At six he drew a picture of the town pump with a prominent citizen passing it hastily.This effort was framed and hung in the drug store window by the side of the ear of corn with an uneven number of rows.At twenty he left for New York with a flowing necktie and a capital tied up somewhat closer.
Delia Caruthers did things in six octaves so promisingly in a pine-tree village in the South that her relatives chipped in enough in her chip hat for her to go "North" and "finish." They could not see her f--,but that is our story.
Joe and Delia met in an atelier where a number of art and music students had gathered to discuss chiaroscuro,Wagner,music,Rembrandt's works,pictures,Waldteufel,wall paper,Chopin and Oolong.
Joe and Delia became enamoured one of the other,or each of the other,as you please,and in a short time were married--for (see above),when one loves one's Art no service seems too hard.
Mr.and Mrs.Larrabee began housekeeping in a flat.It was a lonesome flat--something like the A sharp way down at the left-hand end of the keyboard.And they were happy; for they had their Art,and they had each other.And my advice to the rich young man would be--sell all thou hast,and give it to the poor--janitor for the privilege of living in a flat with your Art and your Delia.

晕掉了 在这里问欧亨利的小说 重新发个问题吧 把分类分分好

内心焦虑、惶恐、担忧（冒着被捕的危险来此绝地）但心中又有许些欣喜和期待与之相伴随的还有担心和忐忑（马上就可以见到久别发小了,他会变成什么样子呢?也许还是小时候那般憨厚老实吧~无限期待中...只是,20几年都过去了他会来吗,还记得曾经有这样一个约定吗?现在的担心也许是多余的吧,他兴许会来呢!此时鲍勃内心忐忑不安、情感矛盾啊!）

首先呢,这是一篇小说,而不是三篇或者四篇.开头是个楔子,后来的三部分分别是他在人生岔路口上的三种选择.
欧·亨利讲的是这样一个道理：没有什么所谓的命运岔路,你未来会怎么样,取决于你本质上是个什么样的人,而偶然随机的选择并不会改变我们的人生命运.换句话说,只有符合自己意愿的事才能决定你的成败得失,这无疑是一种非常积极和认真的人生态度.由于回家和往左右的路差距很大,作者设计了伯爵的枪,用夸张和极端巧合达到了出人意料的艺术效果.为什么往左时他会提出决斗,往右时会盲目地为心上人送信,当中的路回家后会因为自己的作品毫无价值而伤心自杀呢?因为他是位诗人,他相信爱情和审美,他有艺术气质,而且对待生活极富理想主义色彩.男主角的性格和内心世界是命运最有决定性的因素.

鲍勃后悔了,他听从了便衣警察的建议,悄悄到芝加哥去,承认罪行.第二天,他被准许能和杰米说话.他和杰米约定十年后,继续在那家五金商店门口

他的小说结局都是出其不意的,但因为完美的铺垫和伏笔让人读了之后都觉得很真实

只见一个空荡阴暗的院子,20英尺以外还有一所砖房的空墙.一棵老极了的长春藤,枯萎的根纠结在一块,枝干攀在砖墙的半腰上.秋天的寒风把藤上的叶子差不多全都吹掉了,几乎只有光秃的枝条还缠附在剥落的砖块上.
然而,看呀!经过了漫长一夜的风吹雨打,在砖墙上还挂着一片藤叶.它是长春藤上最后的一片叶子了.靠近茎部仍然是深绿色,可是锯齿形的叶子边缘已经枯萎发黄,它傲然挂在一根离地二十多英尺的藤枝上.

贝尔门帮助琼西渡过难关,在最后一片叶子飘落,下着暴雨的夜里,用心灵的画笔画出了一片“永不凋落”的长春藤叶,编造了一个善良且真实的谎言,而自己却从此患上肺炎,一病不起.

O.Henry (1862-1910) was a prolific American short-story writer,a master of surprise endings,who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City.A twist of plot,which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance,is typical of O.Henry's stories.
William Sydney Porter (O.Henry) was born in Greenboro,North Carolina.His father,Algernon Sidney Porter,was a physician.When William was three,his mother died,and he was raised by his paternal grandmother and aunt.William was an avid reader,but at the age of fifteen he left school,and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch.He moved to Houston,where he had a number of jobs,including that of bank clerk.After moving to Austin,Texas,in 1882,he married.
In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone.When the weekly failed,he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist.In 1897 he was convicted of embezzling money,although there has been much debate over his actual guilt.In 1898 he entered a penitentiary at Columbus,Ohio.
While in prison O.Henry started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret.His first work,"Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking" (1899),appeared in McClure's Magazine.After doing three years of the five years sentence,Porter emerged from the prison in 1901 and changed his name to O.Henry.
O.Henry moved to New York City in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World,also publishing in other magazines.Henry's first collection,Cabbages And Kings appeared in 1904.The second,The Four Million,was published two years later and included his well-known stories "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Furnished Room".The Trimmed Lamp (1907) included "The Last Leaf".Henry's best known work is perhaps the much anthologized "The Ransom of Red Chief",included in the collection Whirligigs (1910).The Heart Of The West (1907) presented tales of the Texas range.O.Henry published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.
O.Henry's last years were shadowed by alcoholism,ill health,and financial problems.He married Sara Lindsay Coleman in 1907,but the marriage was not happy,and they separated a year later.O.Henry died of cirrhosis of the liver on June 5,1910,in New York.Three more collections,Sixes And Sevens (1911),Rolling Stones (1912) and Waifs And Strays (1917),appeared posthumously.
