The Cop and the Anthem by O 。Henry

On his bench in Madison Square Soapy moved uneasily. When wild goose honk high of nights, and when women without sealskin coats grow kind to their husbands, and when Soapy moves uneasily on his bench in the park, you may know that winter is near at hand.

A dead leaf fell in Soapy’s lap. That was Jack Frost’s card. Jack is kind to the regular denizens of Madison Square, and gives fair warning of his annual call. At the corners of four streets he hands his pasteboard to the North Wind, footman of the mansion of All Outdoors, so that the inhabitants thereof may make ready.

Soapy’s mind became cognisant of the fact that the time had come for him to resolve himself into a singular Committee of Ways and Means to provide against the coming rigour. And therefore he moved uneasily on his bench.

The hibernatorial ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. In them were no considerations of Mediterranean cruises, of soporific Southern skies or drifting in the Vesuvian Bay. Three months on the Island was what his soul craved. Three months of assured board and bed and congenial company, safe from Boreas and bluecoats, seemed to Soapy the essence of things desirable.

For years the hospitable Blackwell’s had been his winter quarters. Just as his more fortunate fellow New Yorkers had bought their tickets to Palm Beach and the Riviera each winter, so Soapy had made his humble arrangements for his annual hegira to the Island. And now the time was come. On the previous night three Sabbath newspapers, distributed beneath his coat, about his ankles and over his lap, had failed to repulse the cold as he slept on his bench near the spurting fountain in the ancient square. So the Island loomed large and timely in Soapy’s mind. H e scorned the provisions made in the name of charity for the city’s dependents. In Soapy’s opinion the Law was more benign than Philanthropy. There was an endless round of institutions, municipal and eleemosynary, on which he might set out and receive lodging and food accordant with the simple life. But to one of Soapy’s proud spirit the gifts of charity are encumbered. If not in coin you must pay in humiliation of spirit for every benefit received at the hands of philanthropy. As Cesar had his Brutus, every bed of charity must have its toll of a bath, every loaf of bread its compensation of a private and personal inquisition. Wherefore it is better to be a guest of the law, which though conducted by rules, does not meddle unduly with a gentleman’s private a ffairs.

Soapy, having decided to go to the Island, at once set about accomplishing his desire. There were many easy ways of doing this. The pleasantest was to dine luxuriously at some expensive restaurant; and then, after declaring insolvency, be handed over quietly and without uproar to a policeman. An accommodating magistrate would do the rest.

Soapy left his bench and strolled out of the square and across the level sea of asphalt, where Broadway and Fifth Avenue flow together. Up Broadway he turned, and halted at a glittering café, where are gathered together nightly the choicest products of the grape, the silkworm and the protoplasm.

Soapy had confidence in himself from the lowest button of his vest upward. He was shaven, and his coat was decent and his neat black, ready-tied four-in-hand had been presented to him by a lady missionary on Thanksgiving Day. If he could reach a table in the restaurant unsuspected, success would be his. The portion of him that would show above the table would raise no doubt in the waiter’s mind. A roasted mallard duck, thought Soapy, would be about the thing—with a bottle

of Chablis, and then Camembert, a demi-tasse and a cigar. One dollar for the cigar would be enough. The total would not be so high as to call forth any supreme manifestation of revenge from the café management; and yet the meat would leave him filled and happy for the journey to his winter refuge.

But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant door the head waiter’s eye fell upon his frayed trousers and decadent shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence and haste to the sidewalk and averted the ignoble fate of the menaced mallard.

Soapy turned off Broadway. It seemed that his route to the coveted island was not to be an epicurean one. Some other way of entering limbo must be thought of.

At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights and cunningly displayed wares behind plate-glass made a shop window conspicuous. Soapy took a cobble-stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, and smiled at the sight of brass buttons.

“Where’s the man that done that?” inquired the officer excitedly.

“Don’t you figure out that I might have had something to do with it?” said Soapy, not without sarcasm, but friendly, as one greets good fortune.

The policeman’s mind refused to accept Soapy even as a clue. Men who smash windows do not remain to parley with the law’s minions. They take to their heels. The policeman saw a man halfway down the block running to catch a car. With drawn club he joined in the pursuit. Soapy, with disgust in his heart, loafed along, twice unsuccessful.

On the opposite side of the street was a restaurant of no great pretensions. It catered to large appetites and modest purses. Its crockery and atmosphere were thick; its soup and napery thin. Into this place Soapy took his accusive shoes and tell-tale trousers without challenge. At a table he sat and consumed beefsteak, flap-jacks, doughnuts, and pie. And then to the waiter he betrayed the fact that the minutest coin and himself were strangers.

“Now, get busy and call a cop,” said Soapy. “And don’t keep a gentleman waiting.”

“No cop for youse,” said the waiter, with a voice like butter cakes and an eye like the cherry in a Manhattan cocktail. “Hey, Con!”

Neatly upon his left ear on the callous pavement two waiters pitched Soapy. He arose, joint by joint, as a carpenter’s rule opens, and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away. A policeman who stood before a drug store two doors away laughed and walked down the street.

Five blocks Soapy travelled before his courage permitted him to woo capture again. This time the opportunity presented what he fatuously termed to himself a “cinch.” A young woman of a modest and pleasing guise was standing before a show window gazing with sprightly interest at its display of shaving mugs and inkstands, and two yards from the window a large policeman of severe demeanour leaned against a water-plug.

It was Soapy’s design to assume the rule of the despicable and execrated “masher.” The refined and elegant appearance of his victim and the contiguity of the conscientious cop encouraged him to believe that he would soon feel the pleasant official clutch upon his arm that would ensure his winter quarters of the right little, tight little isle.

Soapy straightened the lady missionary’s ready-made tie, dragged his shrinking cuffs into the open, set his hat at a killing cant and sidled toward the young women. He made eyes at her, was taken with sudden coughs and “hems,” smiled, smirked, and went b razenly through the impudent

and contemptible litany of the “masher.” With half an eye Soapy saw that the policeman was watching him fixedly. The young woman moved away a few steps, and again bestowed her absorbed attention upon the shaving mugs. Soapy followed, boldly stepping to her side, raised his hat and said: “Ah there, Bedelia! Don’t you want to come and play in my yard?”

The policeman was still looking. The persecuted young woman had but to beckon a finger and Soapy would be practically en route for his insular haven. Already he imagined he could feel the cosy warmth of the station-house. The young woman faced him and, stretching out a hand, caught Soapy’s coat sleeve.

“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll blow me to a pail of suds. I’d have spoke to you sooner, but the cop was watching.”

With the young woman playing the clinging ivy to his oak Soapy walked past the policeman overcome with gloom. He seemed doomed to liberty.

At the next corner he shook off his companion and ran. He halted in the district where by night are found the lightest streets, hearts, vows, and librettos. Women in furs and men in greatcoats moved gaily in the wintry air. A sudden fear seized Soapy that some dreadful enchantment had rendered him immune to arrest. The thought brought a little of panic upon it, and when he came upon another policeman lounging grandly in front of a transplendent theatre he caught at the immediate straw of “disorderly conduct.”

On the sidewalk Soapy began to yell drunken gibberish at the top of his harsh voice. He danced, howled, raved, and otherwise disturbed the welkin.

The policeman twirled his club, turne d his back to Soapy and remarked to a citizen: “’Tis one of them Yale lads celebratin’ the goose egg they give to the Hartford College. Noisy; but no harm. We’ve instructions to lave them be.”

Disconsolate, Soapy ceased his unavailing racket. Would never a policeman lay hands on him? In his fancy the Island seemed an unattainable Arcadia. He buttoned his thin coat against the chilling wind.

In a cigar store he saw a well-dressed man lighting a cigar at a swinging light. His silk umbrella he had set by the door on entering. Soapy stepped inside, secured the umbrella and sauntered off with it slowly. The man at the cigar light followed hastily.

“My umbrella,” he said sternly.

“Oh, is it?” sneered Soapy, adding insult to petit larceny. “Well, why don’t you call a policeman? I took it. Your umbrella! Why don’t you call a cop? There stands one on the corner.”

The umbrella owner slowed his steps. Soapy did likewise, with a presentiment that luck would run against him. The policeman looked at the two curiously.

“Of course,” said the umbrella man—“that is—well, you know how these mistakes occur—I—if it’s your umbrella I hope you’ll excuse me—I picked it up this morning in a restaurant—If you recognise it as yours, why—I hope you’ll—“

“Of course it’s mine,” said Soapy viciously.

The ex-umbrella man retreated. The policeman hurried to assist a tall blonde in an opera cloak across the street in front of a street car that was approaching two blocks away.

Soapy walked eastward through a street damaged by improvements. He hurled the umbrella wrathfully into an excavation. He muttered against the men who wear helmets and carry clubs. Because he wanted to fall into their clutches, they seemed to regard him as a king who could do no wrong.

At length Soapy reached one of the avenues to the east where the glitter and turmoil was but faint. He set his face down this toward Madison Square, for the homing instinct survives even when the home is a park bench.

But on an unusually quiet corner Soapy came to a standstill. Here was an old church, quaint and rambling and gabled. Through one violet-stained window a soft light glowed, where, no doubt, the organist loitered over the keys, making sure of his mastery of the coming Sabbath anthem. For there drifted out to Soa py’s ears sweet music that caught and held him transfixed against the convolutions of the iron fence.

The moon was above, lustrous and serene; vehicles and pedestrains were few; sparrows twittered sleepily in the eaves—for a little while the scene might have been a country churchyard. And the anthem that the organist played cemented Soapy to the iron fence, for he had known it well in the days when his life contained such things as mothers and roses and ambitions and friends and immaculate thoughts and collars.

The conjunction of Soapy’s receptive state of mind and the influences about the old church wrought a sudden and wonderful change in his soul. He viewed with swift horror the pit into which he had tumbled, the degraded days, unworthy desires, dead hopes, wrecked faculties, and base motives that made up his existence.

And also in a moment his heart responded thrillingly to this novel mood. An instantaneous and strong impulse moved him to battle with his desperate fate. He would pull himself out of the mire; he would make a man of himself again; he would conquer the evil that had taken possession of him. There was time; he was comparatively young yet; he would resurrect his old eager ambitions and pursue them without faltering. Those solemn but sweet organ notes had set up a revolution in him. Tomorrow he would go into the roaring down-town district and find work. A fur importer had once offered him a place as driver. He would find him to-morrow and ask for the position. He would be somebody in the world. He would—

Soapy felt a hand laid on his arm. He looked quickly round into the broad face of a policeman.

“What are you doin’ here?” asked the officer.

“Nothing’,” said Soapy.

“Then come along,” said the policeman.

“Three months on the Island,” said the Magistrate in the Police Court the next morning.

Wang1 Wang Mengmeng Professor Li Kang English 09110314 12 March 2012 The Cop and the Anthem T Based on the whole text, the author's humor is present in various ways, one of which is through irrationality during the development of plots. Soapy, the vagrant who has stirred up trouble for six times, is eager to go to prison. But he is always out of luck and get policeman's forgiveness. When Soapy is touched by the anthem and wants to be a good citizen, he is arrested for groundless reasons. This way is a kind of black humor manifesting social reality profoundly. We can see something gloomy, desperate,but simultaneously, we can't help laughing when reading the vivid description. Once, Soapy wants to reach his goal by molesting a woman, Soapy straightened the lady missionary’s ready-made tie, dragged his shrinking cuffs into the open, set his hat at a killing cant and sidled toward the young women(20).but the seeming virtuous and quiet woman begin to seduce him in reverse.“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll blow me to a pail of suds.

《警察与赞美诗》 教学目标：1、学习从思想内容（情节、主题）的角度评论文学作品（主要目标）； 2、品味作品幽默讽刺的语言（辅助目标）。 感知阶段 一、导入定向 （一）揭示教学目标 在第一单元的学习中，我们解决了“评论要知人论世”的问题。第二单元的学习，主要解决“评论的角度”问题。单元提示告诉我们，对作品的评论，可以侧重于思想内容，也可以侧重于艺术形式。以作品的内容为评论重点，可以从题材、人物、情节、主题等角度入手。学习《警察与赞美诗》，我们就侧重于思想内容，从情节和主题入手进行评论。 （二）设置“突破口” “警察与赞美诗”：警察是维护社会治安的人，赞美诗是基督教徒祈祷时唱的歌。作者把它们放在一起，有什麽用意和含义，请带着这个问题学习。 二、整体认读 （一）了解作者极其创作特点 欧亨利，生活在19世纪后期、20世纪初期的美国，著名的短篇小说家。他善于描写平凡人物，特别是纽约普通老百姓的生活，文笔幽默，被称为“美国生活的幽默的百科全书”。我们读过他的《最后一片叶子》、《麦琪的礼物》，又预习了《警察与赞美诗》，初步看出欧亨利的小说在情节安排方面有怎样的显著特点？（常常在故事的最后，出现意想不到的结局。这种写法被称为“欧亨利式的结尾”。 （二）概括小说的情节。 请用最简洁的语言概括小说的情节。小说的主人公是流浪汉苏比，作品分三部分：1、寒冬迫近，食宿无着，企求入狱；2、故意犯罪，警察不抓，无从入狱；3、听赞美诗，决意从善，被抓入狱。结局出人意料。 理解阶段 三、分析研读 （一）改写小说的结局，初析主题

1、改写结局并说明意图 我们在读第一遍时，大概谁也不会想到小说是这样的结局。预习时，要求同学们读到小说中写苏比第六次故意犯罪，还是不能“落入法网”，警察们“认为他是个不会犯错误的国王”时，想一想，要是让我们接下去写，故事将如何结局。请用简洁的语言把你设计的结局说出来。（讨论） 我们设计的结局，大体上分为悲剧、喜剧两类。悲剧结局有：冻饿而死；终于入狱；彻底堕落等等。喜剧结局有成为新人；爬到上层等等。这篇小说的结局应该是悲剧还是喜剧？（喜剧无批判意义，且有悖上文情节；悲剧具有批判意义，且是上文情节的合乎逻辑的发展。） 请设计悲剧结局的同学说出你的意图。（冻饿而死，表现美国下层人民的悲惨命运；终于入狱或彻底堕落，表现灵魂被扭曲。 2、研究改写部分与上文之间的联系，揭示小说的主题要点之一、二 既然我们设计的悲剧结局合乎上文情节的发展，那么上文是怎样表现穷人的“悲惨命运”的呢？请以有关描写为例回答。（小说用对比手法，写出社会的贫富不均，突出穷人的命运悲惨。如：冬天到了，富人想的是“海豹皮大衣”；而苏比“躺在街心公园长凳上辗转反侧”，“把三份星期天的厚报纸塞在上衣里，盖在脚踝和膝头上，都没有能挡住寒气”。所以，我们顺着这个思路，安排苏比“冻饿而死”的结局。） 上文又是怎样表现穷人的“灵魂扭曲”的呢？（苏比企求入狱，是反常的心态；他为入狱所用的故意犯罪的种种手段，是反常的行为。）哪些手段？（1）骗食（未遂），（2）砸破橱窗，（3）白吃（挨揍）,（4）调戏女人，（5）扰乱治安，（6）偷盗绸伞。从作品中找出一些描写其反常行为的句子来加以品味。如“调戏女人”的“表演”，“扰乱治安”的行动，写得幽默，富有讽刺性。这些行为都是“灵魂扭曲”的表现，在这些情节之后，安排苏比“终于入狱”或“彻底堕落”，是合情合理的，进一步表现他的“灵魂扭曲”。 （二）回到小说的结局，再析主题。 同学们设计的几种结局都不错，试图告诉人们，那个社会给穷人带来悲惨的命运，扭曲了人的灵魂。这也是欧亨利所要告诉人们的。可是，欧亨利为什麽不像我们这样安排结局，而要用赞美诗来感召苏比，用警察来抓苏比呢？ 1、研究“警察”与苏比的关系，揭示小说的主题要点之三。 为什麽最终要写警察抓苏比？要弄清楚这个问题，先要弄清楚小说第二部分写苏比6次故意犯罪时警察的反映。读出小说中有关的描写，并用最简洁的语言加以概括。（1）骗食未遂——警察不知；（2）砸破橱窗，“在警察的脑子里苏比连个旁证都算不上”——警察不信；（3）白吃挨揍，“警察先是笑了笑，顺着街走开去了”——警察不理；（4）调戏女人，警察“盯住他”，“还在盯着”，“老盯着”，苏比“懊丧地在警察身边走了过去”——警察不管；（5）扰乱治安，“警察让警棍打着旋，身子转过去背对苏比，向一个市民解释”——警察不究；（6）偷盗绸伞，警察“急匆匆地跑去搀一位穿晚礼服的金发高个儿女士过马路”——警察不暇。总之是警察不抓。 再来看看结局部分。警察是在怎样的情况下抓苏比的？请听配有“赞美诗”音乐的朗读录音。听读时留意描写苏比心理活动的句子，分析苏比心理活动的层次。（听录音）这部分有层次地写出苏比的心理活动，有几层？（1）庄严虔诚的赞美诗唤起他对一生中美好时刻的回忆“生活中有母爱、玫瑰、

名著阅读之《警察与赞美诗》内容梗概及片段阅读

警察与赞美诗 （美国）欧·亨利著 罗金佑（据原文版翻译） 内容梗概 《警察与赞美诗》是美国作家欧·亨利的短篇小说。该短篇小说讲述的是一个穷困潦倒，无家可归的流浪汉苏比，因为寒冬想去监狱熬过，所以故意犯罪，去饭店吃霸王餐，扰乱治安，偷他人的伞，调戏妇女等，然而这些都没有让他如愿进监狱；最后，当他在教堂里被赞美诗所感动，想要从新开始，改邪归正的时候，警察却将他送进了监狱。该小说展示了当时美国下层人民无以为生的悲惨命运。 苏比躺在麦迪逊广场的那条长凳上，辗转反侧。每当雁群在夜空引吭高鸣，每当没有海豹皮大衣的女人跟丈夫亲热起来，每当苏比躺在街心公园长凳上辗转反侧，这时候，你就知道冬天迫在眉睫了。 一张枯叶飘落在苏比的膝头。这是杰克·弗洛斯特①的名片。杰克对麦迪逊广场的老住户很客气，每年光临之前，总要先打个招呼。他在十字街头把名片递给“露天公寓”的门公佬“北风”，好让房客们有所准备。 苏比明白，为了抵御寒冬，由他亲自出马组织一个单人财务委员会的时候到了。为此，他在长凳上辗转反侧，不能入寐。 苏比的冬居计划并不过奢。他没打算去地中海游弋，也不想去晒南方令人昏昏欲睡的太阳，更没考虑到维苏威湾去漂流。他衷心企求的仅仅是去岛上度过三个月。整整三个月不愁食宿，伙伴们意气相投，再没有“北风”老儿和警察老爷来纠缠不清，在苏比看来，人生的乐趣也莫过于此了。 多年来，好客的布莱克威尔岛②监狱一直是他的冬季寓所。正如福气比他好的纽约人每年冬天要买票去棕榈滩③和里维埃拉④一样，苏比也不免要为一年一度的“冬狩”作些最必要的安排。现在，冬狩时候到了。昨天晚上，他躺在古老的广场喷泉和近的长凳上，把三份星期天的厚报纸塞在上衣里，盖在脚踝和膝头上，都没有能挡住寒气。这就使苏比的脑海里迅速而鲜明地浮现出岛子的影子。他瞧不起慈善事业名下对地方上穷人所作的布施。 在苏比眼里，法律比救济仁慈得多。他可去的地方多的是，有市政府办的，有救济机关办的，在那些地方他都能混吃混住。当然，生活不能算是奢侈。可是对苏比这样一个灵魂高傲的人来说，施舍的办法是行不通的。从慈善机构手里每得到一点点好处，钱固然不必花，却得付出精神上的屈辱来回报。 正如恺撒对待布鲁图一样⑤，真是凡事有利必有弊，要睡慈善单位的床铺，先得让人押去洗上一个澡；要吃他一块面包，还得先一五一十交代清个人的历史。

教学过程设计 第一课时 一、创设情境，导入新课： 同学们，今天我们来学习美国短篇小说家欧.亨利写 的《警察与赞美诗》。在具体上这篇课文之前，让我们先做一道特殊的数学题。我估计有同学在笑，我也猜想的到有同学在想：语文课做什么数学题啊？老师你不是说你数学最不好吗？别急，我自有道理。请看黑板。 已知条件： 1.背景19世纪的美国社会 2.警察维护生活秩序的社会安定的国家机器 3.赞美诗宗教音乐净化心灵升华境界 问：警察+赞美诗= 讨论明确：一个国家在生活方面拥有维护正常秩序和社会安定的警察队伍，而在精神方面拥有净化人的灵魂的宗教音乐。从逻辑上讲，应很完美，甚至是“人间天堂”。这是推理出来的，看似合理。但真正的美国社会如何，我们还不确定。这个结论还有待于论证。 二、知人论世： 欧·亨利（1862—1910），美国著名的短篇小说家。15岁起在叔父的药房里当学徒，有机会接触社会上一些爱说爱笑的人。后因涉嫌挪用银行款项而逃亡国外，妻子病危，又不顾一切回国探望而被捕入狱。在狱中，为给女儿买圣诞节礼物以欧·亨利为笔名发表小说。 欧·亨利是一位给通俗报刊写幽默小说的作家，他的 作品曾被誉为“美国的生活的幽默的百科全书”。《警察和赞美诗》是其中最负盛名的一篇幽默小说。另外还有《麦琪的礼物》、《最后的一片叶子》等代表作品。 三、基础知识积累。 1、给下列划线的字注音: 引吭高歌狩猎绯色的梦绯闻醍醐灌顶煊赫一时掸去胜券在握潜移 师生活动 教师出示“数学题”，学生思考解答。 学生教师一起通过ppt了解作者。 教师出示ppt，学生注音。

亨利小说特色的，是他的小说常在故事末尾笔锋一转，让主人公的命运突然起意 想不到的变化，在看似荒唐的结局中给读者以深层的思索和启迪。这一巧妙的构思方法被誉为“欧·亨利手法。”代表作有《麦琪的礼物》、《最后的一片叶子》。二、课堂探究单： 活动一、导入： 有一部电视连续剧叫《北京人在纽约》，电视剧开头有这么一段话：“如果你爱他，那么就把他送到纽约，因为那里是天堂；如果你恨他，那么也把送到纽约，因为那里是地狱。”这句话深刻地反映了纽约甚至是美国社会的那种巨大的贫富 差距，对于有钱的人来说，那里是淘金的天堂，而对于穷人而言，那里则是人间 的地狱。今天我们来学习《警察与赞美诗》来进一步地了解美国的社会现实。 活动二、分析小说的情节结构 小说的三大要素是人物，环境和情节。小说的情节一般分为开端、发展、高 潮和结局。那么这篇小说的开端、发展、高潮和结局各是什么？ 明确： 1. 故事开端(苏比躺在麦迪生广场他那条长凳上——自有一位识相的推事来料 理)，苏比为逃脱严冬的威胁，筹划着怎样才能被捕入狱。 2. 故事发展(苏比离开长凳——而我们偏偏认为他是个永远不会犯错误的国王)，苏比屡次惹是生非，都没有达到被捕入狱的目的。 3. 故事高潮(最后，苏比来到通往东区的一条马路上——“那你跟我来。”警察说) 。苏比伫立于教堂外良心发现，决心重新做人时，突然被捕。 4. 故事结局(小说最后一自然段)，苏比被判入狱三个月。

Despite efforts at petty theft, disorderly conduct, and "mashing" with a young prostitute, 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 —and is ironically charged for loitering and sentenced to three months in prison. The character Soapy, is homeless, a member of the substantial army of underclass men and women who had flocked to New York City during the earliest years of the twentieth century. In an unstated day in late fall, Soapy faces the urgent necessity of finding some sort of shelter for the winter. As with many other homeless people in the
