欧亨利简介及评价 (中英双语)

欧·亨利与法国的莫泊桑、俄国的契诃夫并称为世界三大短篇小说巨匠。近百年来，欧·亨利的小说在全世界一版再版，始终拥有大量的读者，足见其作品的生命力。1918年，美国设立一年一度的“欧·亨利纪念奖”，专门奖励短篇小说的成就。欧·亨利的名字早已和短篇小说的创作，和小人物的悲喜连在了一起。他是一位高产的作家，一生中留下了一部长篇小说和近三百篇的短篇小说。他的短篇小说构思精巧，风格独特，以表现美国中下层人民的生活、语言幽默、结局出人意料（即“欧·亨利式结尾”）而闻名于世。

正面

欧·亨利的成功主要在于他善于捕捉和把握生活中的典型场面，在一个个生活的片断里，处于两难中的主人公必须面对抉择，这时不仅能集中刻画人物心理，也能充分展示生活中固有的矛盾。再加上欧·亨利具有把情节剪裁得恰到好处的本领，因而能在很短的篇幅内达到一种思想与艺术相结合的完美效果，给人以强烈的印象，而这也正是短篇小说成功的关键。

反面

有的外国评论家曾说过：“（欧·亨利的小说）不要真实性，没有道德意识，没有人生哲理。”——不过这种说法被多数评论家所否定。当时有人批评他的“欧·亨利式结尾”读多了就没意思。——不过这种说法也被多数评论家所否定。

有人认为他的小说写的浅薄。有人说：“在欧·亨利的所有小说中，找不出一个写得真实的人物。”欧·亨利对自己的小说也不满意，一次他在给一位朋友的信中说过：“我是个失败的人。我的小说究竟如何呢？老实说，我并不满意。我就害怕人们说我是什么‘名作家’。”

O.Henry, with Maupassant and Chekhov['t?ek?f], were honored as the three masters of short stories in the world. Again and again, his works were published all over the world, and were enjoyed by many readers, which showed its strong vitality [va?'t?l?t?].

O.Henry was a high-producing writer who left a novel and nearly three hundreds short stories. Writing at the rate of more than one story per week, O. Henry published ten collections of stories. In 1919 the O. Henry Memorial Awards for the best American short stories published each year were founded by the Society of Arts and Sciences.

William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 –June 5, 1910), known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer. O. Henry's short stories are known for their wit, wordplay, warm characterization, and surprise endings.

When you read his book, you will find the ending is always unexpected. For example, in the book The Cop[k?p] and the Anthemf['?nθ?m]，the hero Souby wanted to live in the prison for a settled life, so he caused some troubles, enter taining the intention of drawing the policeman’s attention. But unfortunately, things didn’t happen as he had wished. Later, Souby read an anthem by chance and decided to be a good guy. When readers, even Souby himself, believed that he would start a new life from then on, a policeman, who had once been longing for by Souby, was appeared and took Souby into the curt.

The ending is out of blue, but you will find it is also resonable. It was this unique character made O.Henry’s works distinctive.O.Henry desi gned the ending as the soul of the whole book. He was good at writing the story dramatically and preparing the hints hidden in the unromantic and humor narration.

As to O.Henry’s writing style, there exist two different sides. Some people give positive

comments about his works: O.Henry succeed by his perspective. He was able to catch a typical scene of everyday life and wrote it vividly in a short story, which achieved an artistic charm.

However, there are also some critics hold an opposite view, for they think that his works was a little shallow—even O.Henry himself agreed that. He once said to one of his friends:”I am not satisfied with my works, and I’m afraid about being named as a ‘famous writer’.”

Although the critic is reasonable to a certain degree, it can not be denied that O.Henry was a greatful writer. His works satirized the unfairness in that age powerfully and still have an influence.

His short stories are famous for its unexpected ending, as well as their exquisite conception. O’Henry’s sympathy for the poor social underdogs, his eulogy of human virtues and exposure of human evils are highlighted as the keynote of his works. Humanity endows his works with perpetual artistic charm. His short stories are typically American, portraying various types of people in the United States. 1 The Main Theme of O’Henry’s Works 1.1Human Virtues In his works, O’Henry presents the panorama of the American people to readers with ironic and humorous tone. O’Henry is sympathetic with the poor; he praises the human virtues and denounces human defeats. Humanity, as the eternal theme of O’Henry’s works, endows his works with perpetual artistic charm. Human being has many virtues from ancient times to the present. They are kind, brave, honest, hard-working, polite, thrifty, generous, and hospitable and so on. Some people pay a great deal in order to maintain these virtues, they sacrifice their own happiness even life for the lofty love and friendship; they help others without asking for rewards and regard it as a pleasure; they give up their own treasure and chance to others etc. Such people bring love and fine things to the world; they are the ones who endow the world with light and hope. 1.2 Human Evils Human beings have many defects, too. Sometimes they are lazy, rapacious, gluttonous, officious, vain, arrogant, shameless, cowardly, impetuous etc. They benefit themselves at the expense of others, they never show mercy and sympathy to the poor in order to make money, they realize their own aims by hook or by crook etc. Their evil deeds make the world vicious. By exposing the human defects and the dark sides of the world, O’Henry wants to awaken people’s conscience and deepest desire for all good things, so that people can use their efforts to save and cleanse the whole world. 2 Features of Language of O’Henry’s Works 2.1 Figure of Speech 2.1.1 Metaphor In O’Henry’s writings, metaphor is another feature which is worth mention. “A symbol differs from a metaphor in that its application is left open as an unstated suggestion, whereas the metaphor ties a concrete image to an identifiable abstract quality.” The image in metaphor represents specific meaning. But the symbolic image remains indeterminate in its possible meanings; it is usually a substantial image in its own right, around which further significances may gather according to differing interpretations. The metaphor under discussion here does not mean that as a rhetorical device or figure of speech, though the metaphorical sentences as wonderful as the one “Manhattan, the night-blooming cereus, was beginning to unfold its dead-white, heavy-odored petals” teem in O’Henry’s short stories. What is to be probed is the metaphor exploited as a skill in story-writing. In the third branch of Roads of Destiny, the hero David Mig not is a shepherd, but he is too indulged in writing poems to take enough care of his sheep. The flock steadily grows smaller and his wife keeps on complaining. Then one of his friends introduces him to a learned man called Georges Bril, David asks Monsieur Bril to read his poems, because he wants to know if he shall write more or give his attention to his sheep. When Monsieur Bril has read all the verses, he concludes that David has no talent for poem-writing. In order to tell the harsh truth in a mild way, he asks David to look at the crow in the tree. Instead of commenting on the poems directly, Monsleur Bril praises the crow that is content with his lot. In this metaphorical way he advises David tactfully not to try to write poems any more. David sees the point and feels discouraged. He goes back home and thrusts his poems into the stove.

欧亨利短篇小说精选读书笔记 社会是一个复杂的有机体，各种思想意识共同并存，但任何一个时代的统治思想始终都是统治阶级的思想，在社会上占统治地位的物质力量就也同样的占据着统治地位的精神力量。人的思想永无止境，会不停的进步，奴隶社会的自由和正义，封建地主阶级是不会接受的，同样，封建地主的自由和正义，资产阶级也是不能接受的，然而资产阶级在占据统治地位后，却硬是要宣扬他们的领导是自由和正义的，还要所有的人都来承认和接受这种所谓的永恒的自由和正义。但这个现实却是，出于不停的动荡，永远的不安定和变动的人们，不得不用冷静的眼光来重新打量这个世界，看待他们的生活地位和相互关系，认识到自己处于一种焦虑不安之中，不但生物宁日，而且再也把握不了自己。 长长的吁了一口气。 我的牙齿不好，脸也不长得俊，身材矮小。但我心灵很好，学习虽说不是太好，但我追求更好。不自卑，不放弃，不泄气，努力学习，追求上进，追求完美。 “这个故事的结局简直离谱的出奇!”我说道。不由会心一笑，但却是带着涩涩的泪水的苦笑…… 在一盏夜灯下，今夜终于拜读完了《欧·亨利短篇小说精选》，心中荡漾起层层涟漪，好像平静的湖面上丢进了块

小石子，辗转反侧，有太多的感想。 或许晚上人的思想总是特别的活跃。 欧·亨利是美国著名的短篇小说家，与法国的莫泊桑、俄罗斯的契诃夫并称为“世界三大短篇小说大师”。 欧·亨利的小说情节曲折，扣人心弦，结尾却常常出乎人的意料，这就是所谓的“欧·亨利”手法，即在故事结尾，笔锋一转，让主人公的命运起一百八十度的变化。这变化看来荒谬悖理，实际上却符合事物发展的内在逻辑。所以读者在惊愕之余，仍然感到信服，进而赞叹作者构思之巧妙。 “用心做事”是一种人生原则，它能使自己在生活中学到更多，做得更好，只有用心做事，才能把事做出色。“用心做事”是对工作强烈的责任感和正确的思维方式。态度决定一切。 读了《夏洛的网》让我知到友情是无价的，你看夏洛用自己全部的力量来救威尔伯，而且它还连夜工作，为了朋友，愿意牺牲自己的性命来救朋友，所以这种友情才是无价的! 他的小说诉说着一些生活在社会底层的小人物：记叙他们贫困生活中的美好善良，调侃尔虞我诈的势力小人……在这些作品中，他常以“含泪的微笑”抚慰失意的小人物们心灵所受的创伤。于轻松戏谑中蕴含着对生活深沉的感受，对资本主义社会中某些现象发人深省的针砭，对丑恶现实辛辣的嘲讽。

欧亨利的个人及作品英语介绍

O.Henry’s writing styles O.Henry is one of the American famous short-story writers. His novels expose the darkness of capitalism from different angles, describe the difficult life of lower class, praise their sincere friendship, love and desire to blessed life. He always write a comedy ending to express deep social meaning, serious social reality and higher level. Furthermore, it points out the inevitability. As we all know O.Henry’s ending is always unexpected. He will suddenly change the inner world of the figures in an unbelievable way, or reverse the fate of the hero. In most time, it will make people feel in track, but the majority will think it reasonable after a while, such as “The Cop and the Anthem”. In the passage, Souby wanted to be in a prison so he made troubles outside. However, his hopes always were defeated. When Souby was reclaimed by the Anthem and decided to live a new life. Unfortunately, policemen put him into prison on some trumped-up charge. When all people assume he will be safe through life, policemen took him to a court. This is a typical O.Henry’s ending, which puts people into a dark hole with thinking deeply. And yet O.Henry just use this way to reflect the reality of being unable to distinguish the good from the bad. The artistic effects of O.Henry’s ending does not always appear in the end. For example, there are two plots in the “The Cop and the Anthem”. One is that Soupy molested a woman, but in an opposite manner, the woman molested him. The other is that Soupy took away a cus tomer’s illegal umbrella. Both a simple and attractive woman and a well-dressed customer give readers a decent feeling, but in fact, they are not the people what we are thinking. I believer everyone will think it is incredible like me. Only if we think carefully is it normal. After all, those people really exist in our society. Is everyone in upper-class noble, kind and well-behaved? Of course not, someone just put their dirty behaviors under their beautiful mask. In order to express the inner dirtiness, O.Henry had to decorate a lot in the passage. Although what it is isn’t as how it is, in short, it is reasonable. O.Henry’s ending exposed the public morals going from bad to worse of capitalism in the humors.

通过阅读这本小说选，我受到了很大了启发，也使我在以后的人生道路上有了更好的启迪。以下是“欧亨利短篇小说读后感”，希望给大家带来帮助！ 篇一欧亨利短篇小说读后感 有这么一个人写的小说，他篇幅不不长，但总能带给你长篇小说般绵长的美好回忆；有这么一个人写的小说，读去普通，却总能在结尾给你带来极大的震撼；有这么一个人写的小说，他没有侦探小说的神秘，没有塑造显赫的大人物，但他笔下的每一个普通的小人物都让我们在含泪的阅读中绽放温暖的微笑……他就是欧亨利和他的短篇小说。 初识欧亨利还是在小学六年级，语文书最后的选学课文中有一篇叫做《一件运动衫》的小说，文笔朴实，但读完后，那只昂头的麋鹿便在我的脑海里深深扎根了。 于是，阅读欧亨利一发不可收拾。 在欧亨利的短篇小说《最后一片叶子》中，我知道了原来这个世界上还有一片树叶可以永远翠绿不会凋零，那是伟大却极其贫穷的画家贝尔曼用生命的画笔描画的，这永不凋零的常春藤叶唤起了琼西生的欲望； 在欧亨利的短篇小说《麦琪的礼物》中，我知道了原来有一种付出是可以割

舍自我的德拉为了给丈夫的金表配上一副精巧的表链，忍痛卖掉一头美丽的长发，那是“像一股褐色的小瀑布奔泻闪亮的长发”；同时，丈夫吉姆为了给妻子的美丽长发配上爱慕已久的玳瑁发梳卖掉了三代祖传的金表。只求付出的爱付出了沉重的代价，但谁能说这对穷夫妻不是度过了最为幸福的圣诞节呢？ 在欧亨利的短篇小说《两位感恩节的绅士》中，我知道有一种承诺是可以用生命捍卫的。没落的财主尽管自己也食不果腹，但他依然铭记每年在感恩节要让一个流浪汉饱餐一顿，结果自己却饿晕了；而穷光蛋为了感谢财主的恩赐，尽管自己已经受施舍填饱肚子，但还是大快朵颐了财主的美餐以致胀破了肚子…… 有人说，欧亨利的小说，最吸引人的是他的出其不意的结尾，正因为这样的结尾，所以被称作“欧亨利式结尾”。说实话，起初我也被小说的结尾深深吸引，因为他总是在你认定了结局时出其不意地给你惊喜。但在我一次又一次阅读他朴实但精致，雷同却神秘的故事后，我想我终于知道自己为什么如此震撼了，这份震撼恰恰来自欧亨利笔下那群贫穷、卑微的小人物，他们个个充满爱心、充满毅力，就这样温暖而坚定地走进读者的心灵。 俗语说，有钱能使鬼推磨！欧亨利告诉我们，金钱不是万能的，真正打动人心的恰恰是你的心灵。一个纯洁高尚的灵魂，即使他衣不蔽体，即使她食不果腹，他也依然是我们心中的巨人。 篇二《欧亨利短篇小说》读后感

Throughout O.Henry’s work,the plot develops unexpectedly at the end of the story.When the readers feel dismayed,they actually believe that the author really gives a reasonable end of the story.It’s quite fantastic.Henry is also good at observing things and focus on details,which makes his writing lively.Anyhow,“The Gift of the Magi”and “The Last Leaf”give me an impression mostly. The Gift of the Magi mainly tells the story that the day before Christmas,poor Della want to give her husband Jim a surprise.However,she only had one dollar and eighty-seven cents.She knew that the little money was not enough to buy a nice present.So Della sold her long,beautiful hair which fell about her shoulders “like a cascade of brown waters”.Then,Della looked all over the shop,finally buying a platinum fob chain,which can be matched with Jim's watch.But,Jim wanted to surprise Della as well.He sold his proud gold watch and bought her a set of bs that Della had watched long in a Broadway’s window.After reading this article,it really gives me a big shock.In this story,the main characters all lost their most valuable things ——Jim’s golden watch and Della’s beautiful hair.Behind this,I saw they loved each other deeply.The love in their family letting me feel that cold Christmas Eve has be e the warmest heaven just because of their gifts.It is so selfless that that they can sacrifice their most valuable things in order to give each other the best gift.I learned how to respect others’love and how to love others.With this kind of love,mutual understanding between man and woman could full of trust and affection.I firmly believe that the world will have a better tomorrow as long as our hearts full of love. The story The Last Leaf described a young couple of good friends Sue and Joanna,who “found their tastes in art,chicory salad and bishop sleeves so congenial that they joint studio resulted”.Unfortunately,an unseen stranger,whom the doctors called Pneumonia,spread in the in that city and Joanna got it seriously.One day afternoon,Joanna was desperately 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 future life.Sue has no other better way but to ask help from Mr.Behrman,an old poor artist who lived on the ground floor beneath
