歐亨利英文短篇小說
⑴ 歐亨利短篇小說 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—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 "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.
"Compliments of the Season" describes several characters' misadventures ring Christmas .

⑶ 《歐亨利短篇小說》英文讀後感
歐·亨利短篇小說選》是美國短篇小說大師歐·亨利作品的選集。書中,社會上那些巧取豪奪,坑蒙拐騙,利慾熏心,爾虞我詐的「上流人物」,「得意之徒」們的丑惡行徑,被揭露無遺。通過他們的種種表現,形象逼真,不拘一格地向讀者展現了「文明社會」的黑暗與滑稽本質,弱肉強食與天良喪盡的現實,並喻示在金錢萬能,唯利是圖的生存環境中,人性的異化和畸變。
然而在眾多對丑惡人性的描寫之中,也不乏許多使人肅然起敬的「小人物」,讓人對荒誕,滑稽的故事漠然一笑之後,感慨萬千。留給我印象最深的是《兩位感恩節的紳士》這篇文章,它讓我真正領略到了人性的魅力。
故事講了兩位美國紳士——其中一人根本不能稱之為紳士,他只能說是一個常年受飢餓折磨的窮人。在他們之間有個奇怪的約定——每年感恩節,窮人便會坐在聯邦廣場噴水池對面人行道旁邊東入口右面的第三條長凳上,等待著老紳士的到來。老紳士來了之後,會帶這位飢腸轆轆的窮人飽餐一頓。這就是他們之間神聖的約定。對老紳士而言,一頓飯錢簡直微不足道,但是,他卻從其中找到了助人的樂趣。而窮人的目的也並不完全是在於那頓豐盛的飯菜,更重要的是能使一位老人如自己所願。
這個傳統延續了九年之久,第十年的感恩節,窮人照慣例走在去約會地點的路上。可出乎意料的事發生了。半路上,窮人被一幢住宅的管家請進了門,並可以享受一頓豐盛的大餐。原來住宅的主人——兩位老太太,也有一個奇怪的傳統——在正午把第一個飢餓的路人請進門,讓他大吃大喝,飽餐一頓。飢餓的窮人抵擋不住事物的誘惑,暢開肚子,吃了起來。當他心滿意足地走出住宅時,才想起了和老紳士的約定。但他還是如約與老紳士碰了面。老紳士將他帶到了一處餐廳,窮人為了不掃老紳士的興,只能裝作飢餓難奈地狼吞虎咽起來。盡管窮人那時只剩下挪動身子和呼吸的確力氣了。窮人吃完後,老紳士付了帳,兩人便道了別。
故事的結局是——兩人在回家的路上都暈了過去,被送進了醫院。窮人是因為吃得太撐,幾乎撐破了胃,而老紳士,一位在前些日子還家財萬貫的富翁則是因為三天三夜沒有吃東西,身體脫虛,而在路上倒了下來。
讀這篇文章就好像是在嚼一隻橄欖,甜味中帶了一絲酸澀,讓人在漠然一笑之後,思索良久。
文中的主人公,充其量不過是兩個「小人物」,然而反映初等推己及人,相濡以沫的人性魅力卻是那些「大人物」,「權貴們」所無法匹敵的。
那位老紳士在身上只剩下一點錢的情況下,完全可以不去赴約,但是他看重的不是金錢,而是誠信,他寧可餓死也不願意食言。相比如今社會上一些只要自己利益受到損害就不擇手段的人來說,老紳士的人性魅力顯露無遺。再看那個窮人,盡管吃不飽穿不暖,沒有受什麼教育,但是他比任何受過良好教育的「權貴」都充滿魅力——那是人性的魅力,他可以對老紳士說自己已經飽了,可他為了圓老紳士的心願,咬緊牙關,把飯菜吃得乾乾凈凈。也許這很可笑,可是卻是不是多麼偉大,多麼令人欽佩!
讀了這篇文章,我知道了人性的偉大力量,我也立志要像那兩個紳士一樣,不求活得轟轟烈烈,但求真真實實,充滿意義,有所追求!!!

「警察」和「贊美詩」在標題中雖然是形式上對等排列,但作為支配人類生存選擇的兩股力量是不對等的。在警察與贊美詩的二元對立中,以「警察」為代表的國家政權永遠支配著和控制著以「贊美詩為代表的精神力量。

畫了近四十年的畫,一事無成,每天都說要創作出一篇驚世之作,卻始終只是空談。但是他對這兩位年青的畫家卻是照顧有佳。他聽到了此事後,便罵了一通,但仍無計可施。
然而令人驚奇的事發生了:盡管屋外的風颳得那樣厲害,而鋸齒形的葉子邊緣已經枯萎發黃,但它仍然長在高高的藤枝上。
瓊西看到最後一片葉子仍然掛在樹上,葉子經過凜冽的寒風依然可以存留下來, 自己為什麼不能?於是又重拾生的信念,頑強地活了下來。
可是故事並不是到此就結束了,真相才剛剛打開:原來是年過六旬的貝爾曼,在一個風雨交加的夜晚,為了畫上最後一片藤葉,因著涼,染上了肺炎。在他生命的最後時刻,他終於完成了令人震撼的傑作。
