介绍：美国著名作家殴亨利的短篇小说《麦琪的礼物》描写了一对相爱至深的情侣在圣诞节互送礼物的故事。

故事情节虽简单，但我们还是能透过作者细腻的笔触感受到浓浓的温情，可谓是非常适合在圣诞季阅读的温暖小说。

THE GIFT OF THE MAGI麦琪的礼物by O. Henry [美]欧·亨利／著潘明元／译One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.一元八角七。

全都在这儿了，其中六角是一分一分的铜板。

这些分分钱是杂货店老板、菜贩子和肉店老板那儿软硬兼施地一分两分地扣下来，直弄得自己羞愧难当，深感这种掂斤播两的交易实在丢人现眼。

德拉反复数了三次，还是一元八角七，而第二天就是圣诞节了。

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.除了扑倒在那破旧的小睡椅上哭嚎之外，显然别无他途。

最新《麦琪的礼物》的主要内容麦琪的礼物概述故事情节(4篇)《麦琪的礼物》的主要内容麦琪的礼物概述故事情节篇一杰姆和德拉一贫如洗，但家中有两件非常珍贵的宝贝，一样是杰姆的三代祖传的金表，一样是德拉瀑布般的秀丽长发。

这两样宝贝根本无法估量它们的价值。

然而圣诞节到了，他们却根本没钱给他们深爱的对方买一件像样的礼物，结果，为了得到钱，德拉横下心卖掉了自己的头发，买了一条正好配杰姆那块金表的表链。

等杰姆回家后，她才得知杰姆为了能买给她一套渴望已久的，配她的头发再好但是的珠宝梳子，已经把他那珍贵的金表卖掉了。

这只是一个很小的故事，但是着实令人感动，可以说，他们两个的做法实在是笨得可以，将几乎是无价之宝的东西卖掉来换一把梳子和一条表链。

要明白，那一块金表，一头秀发是他们各自拥有的全部阿！但是他们都只为了给爱人一份圣诞礼物，而放弃了自己的所有的财产。

望着那相比之下没什么价值，也用不上的梳子和表链，真令人哭笑不得。

然而，当他们得知对方的：愚蠢行为后，却彼此都没有生气、沮丧、发火。

他们难道那么糊涂，他们但是白白丢了那么一大笔财产呀！但是，他们似乎都挺满意，挺满意。

我想，他们必须都觉得自己收到的礼物远远不止一把梳子和一条表链吧！设想一下，假设你挚爱的人可以为了自己而牺牲全部，必须都会感到欣慰的。

可以说，他们得到的圣诞礼物，是看到的对方对自己热诚的心。

我想，在这次圣诞节交换过礼物后，杰姆和德拉的生活必须会改变不少。

收到了不但对他们来说非常昂贵、而且这么珍贵的礼物，他们之间的感情必须会更深吧可见，这次的圣诞礼物给他们两人带来了多大的快乐。

用自己的那么一大笔财产换来无价的欢乐，也许，他们的做法并不笨。

就像小说结尾说的那样：在所有馈赠礼物的人当中，那两个人是最聪明的。

在一切理解礼物的人当中，像他们这样的人也是最聪明的。

无论在什么地方，他们都是最聪明的。

《麦琪的礼物》的主要内容麦琪的礼物概述故事情节篇二这些天闲暇拾掇屋子，发现书柜里一本压藏许久的笔记本，轻弹灰尘，默默翻开，读到了这篇《读麦琪的礼物有感》，想起来，当时正值寒假，妻〔当时是女友〕要回家〔外地〕，怕她一个人坐车寂寥无趣，送了一本《欧亨利短篇小说集》并随书附上了，想起这些，亦感慨时间飞逝，转眼间都已如昨日，却也带着甜蜜。

评中文翻译《麦琪的礼物》《The Gift of Magi 》即《麦琪的礼物》是美国著名文学家欧·亨利写的一篇短篇小说，它通过写在圣诞节前一天，一对小夫妻互赠礼物，结果阴差阳错，两人珍贵的礼物都变成了无用的东西，而他们却得到了比任何实物都宝贵的东西——爱，告诉人们尊重他人的爱，学会去爱他人，是人类文明的一个重要表现。

这篇文章在初中时就已经被学习，今天我从英汉互译的角度来评价一下中文版的《麦琪的礼物》。

众所周知，“反译法”是英译汉中常用的翻译技巧之一，所谓反译法就是指原文从正面表达的,译文可以从反面着笔翻译,如把肯定句译成否定句,或者把否定句译成肯定句。

不同民族的思维方法和用来反映思维的方法往往是不同的，例如，英语民族从正面来表达一个思想，而汉语则可以、有时甚至是必须从反面来表达。

例如《麦琪的礼物》中的一句话：in the vestibule below was a letter box into which no letter would go ,and an electric button f rom which no mortal finger could coax a ring.汉语译为楼下的甬道里有一个信箱，但是永远不会有信件投进去，还有一个电铃，鬼才能把它按响。

译者把原文from which no mortal finger could coax a ring 用反译法译译得十分传神，但如果按照原文的否定形式译，恐怕意识就不会那样贴切，译文也会令人感到索然无味。

欧·亨利是美国最著名的短篇小说家之一，虽然The Gift of the Magi ①是其广为流传的优秀作品，曾被收录中学课本，但对于这篇小说的翻译版本，一直存在许多的争论。

对于翻译的标准和原则，我国学者严复最早提出“信、达、雅”的标准——“信”即忠实于原文，“达”即翻译的流畅，“雅”即译文的典雅。

这一翻译标准至今仍对我国翻译界存在影响。

麦琪的礼物中文版 Document serial number【KKGB-LBS98YT-BS8CB-BSUT-BST108】麦琪的礼物一块八毛七分钱。

全在这儿了。

其中六毛钱还是铜子儿凑起来的。

这些铜子儿是每次一个、两个向杂货铺、菜贩和肉店老板那儿死乞白赖地硬扣下来的；人家虽然没有明说，自己总觉得这种掂斤播两的交易未免太吝啬，当时脸都躁红了。

德拉数了三遍。

数来数去还是一块八毛七分钱，而第二天就是圣诞节了。

除了倒在那张破旧的小榻上号哭之外，显然没有别的办法。

德拉就那样做了。

这使一种精神上的感慨油然而生，认为人生是由啜泣，抽噎和微笑组成的，而抽噎占了其中绝大部分。

这个家庭的主妇渐渐从第一阶段退到第二阶段，我们不妨抽空儿来看看这个家吧。

一套连家具的公寓，房租每星期八块钱。

虽不能说是绝对难以形容，其实跟贫民窟也相去不远。

下面门廊里有一个信箱，但是永远不会有信件投进去；还有一个电钮，除非神仙下凡才能把铃按响。

那里还贴着一张名片，上面印有“詹姆斯·迪林汉·扬先生”几个字。

“迪林汉”这个名号是主人先前每星期挣三十块钱得法的时候，一时高兴，回姓名之间的。

现在收入缩减到二十块钱，“迪林汉”几个字看来就有些模糊，仿佛它们正在考虑，是不是缩成一个质朴而谦逊的“迪”字为好。

但是每逢詹姆斯·迪林汉·扬先生回家上楼，走进房间的时候，詹姆斯·迪林汉·扬太太——就是刚才已经介绍给各位的德拉——总是管他叫做“吉姆”，总是热烈地拥抱他。

那当然是好的。

德拉哭了之后，在脸平面上扑了些粉。

她站在窗子跟前，呆呆地瞅着外面灰蒙蒙的后院里，一只灰猫正在灰色的篱笆上行走。

明天就是圣诞节了，她只有一块八毛七分钱来给吉姆买一件礼物。

好几个月业，她省吃俭用，能攒起来的都攒了，可结果只有这一点儿。

一星期二十块钱的收入是不经用的。

支出总比她预算的要多。

总是这样的。

只有一块八毛七分钱来给吉姆买礼物。

THE GIFT OF THE MAGI 麦琪的礼物Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. There was clearly nothing to do but flop 猛然坐下down on the little couch and howl. So Della did it.Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Suddenly she whirled from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its color within twenty seconds. Rapidly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length.There were two things Della and Jim were proud to have. One was Jim's gold watch that had been his father's and his grandfather's. The other was Della's hair.So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade小瀑布of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment 衣服 for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. 此时此刻，德拉的秀发泼撒在她的周围，微波起伏，闪耀光芒，有如那褐色的瀑布。

The Gift of the MagiThe Gift of the Magi is a short story by O. Henry which has moved people for a long time throughout the world. And it is beyond controversy that it will be impressed by more people in the coming centuries.It happened to a very poor but blissful充满喜悦的 young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England. Because of the maladies(腐败；疾病) of that society and the effect of economic crisis, the poor couple worked hard while earned little. Life is exceedingly hard for them. In spite of the difficulties in their everyday life, their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didn't change at all. When Christmas day was around the corner, 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. While at the same time Jim had already sold exactly that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long beautiful hair, not knowing that she had just cut it off.It appears that the gifts they gave to each other became useless. However the fact is that no matter how tough life had been, they wouldn't lose heart.With strong faith in life and their love to each other, they did their best to make the other pleased."Whenever Mr. James Dillingham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called ‘Jim’ and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dillingham Young." Maybe this account is the best description of theirlove and their struggling against hard life. It was said that the poverties life is what 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 O. Henry in the last paragraph ofthis short story. Yes, they are wisest. They are the magi.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 individuals' hearts, and it's reinforced by adversities.Jim and Della, though they are only the small potatoes who live in the lower classes, they never lose their fervency to their lives and love each other deeply, penury(贫困) 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 it is! Even though it seemed that these presents isn't useful anymore, they have been the most costful one in the world, like a sincere love to each other. Jim and Della immolated（牺牲）their most precious things for the other unadvisably. Amongall the people who gave presents this young couple was the most brilliant one. Among all the people who not only give but also receive, this young couple was also the most brilliant one. This invaluable无价的 thing, however, any of the personwho always thinks he is the most brilliant or richest could not has it, and could never give it to others either.It is not surprising that The Gift of the Magi still enjoys such widespread fame, for in this trite（平庸的）little tale of mutual self-sacrifice between husband and wife, O. Henry crystallized（使具体化；使结晶） 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.小说以礼物作为叙事发展线索，分为三个部分：第一部分：主要叙述女主人公德拉为丈夫买礼物的事。

下面和小编一起来看麦琪的礼物原文以及翻译，希望有所帮助！原文1 pieces of 8 hair 7, just a bit of money, which is 60 Fen minutes of the coin, a penny a penny in the grocery store owner, the vendors and the butcher Lailai hard, every time a hair with the smell of urine, the transaction is a deeply argue about little details. Della counted it three times, one dollar and seven cents, and the second day was christmas.In addition to flop down on the shabby little couch crying, obviously there is no other way.D do, but spiritual feeling arise spontaneously, life is cry sniffles and smiles withsniffles predominating.As the housewife gradually calmed down, lets take a look at the house. A furnished apartment house, rent eight dollars a week. Although it is difficult to describe, but it is really enough to help the word beggar.There is a mailbox downstairs in the doorway, which no letter, and an electric button from no one finger ring. Moreover, there is a name card, write "James di - Han Lin yang"."Dillingham" this name is the owner of previous brilliance as a whim added, when he earned thirty dollars a week. Now, his income has shrunk to $twenty, "Dillingham" letters appear blurred, as though they were thinking seriously of a modest and unassuming practical letters D. However, when Mr. James Dillingham Jan, go upstairs, walked into the room upstairs, James de Han Lin - Mrs. Yang is just introduced to you as della is always called him "Kim", and warmly embraced him. Of course, thats the best. Yes, Jim is so lucky!Della finished her cry to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked out dully at a backyard in a gray cat walking a gray fence in. Tomorrow is Christmas. She has only one dollar and seven cents to buy a gift for Jim. She spent several months, and worked her way through the effort, and got the result. Twenty dollars a week is not long, so always spending more than budget. Only one yuan and seven gifts for Jim. Her Jim. She spent many a happy hour planning to send him a gift Kexin, a fine and rare and precious gift -- at least some match on all things just to Jim.There is a wall mirror between the two windows of the room. Maybe youve seen a wall mirror that costs eight dollars a week. A very small and dexterous person who, by observing himself in a series of longitudinal images, may have an approximate concept of his own appearance. Della slim, had mastered the art.Suddenly, she whirled round the window and stood in front of the wall mirror. Her eyes were sparkling, but in twenty seconds her face lost its luster. She split her hair so fast that she completely scattered it.Now, James Dillingham young couple each have a special pride. One is Jims gold watch, which was handed down by his grandfather to his father, and his father passed it on to Jiabao,while the other was Dellas hair. If the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the courtyard, one day Della would have let her hair hang down, dry out the window, to be cast into the shade of the Queens jewels; if his treasures piled up in the basement, Solomon Wang is the gatekeeper, when Jim walked in there, will touch the gold watch. Let the Solomon Wang beard from envy.At this moment, Dellas hair rippled around her, microwave and downs, shine, like the brown waterfall. Her hair is long and, like a piece of her robe. And then she nervously nervously combed her hair. Hesitated for a minute and stood still while splashed on the worn red carpet one or two drops of tears.She put on her old brown jacket, wearing old brown hat, eyes remain with tears, the skirt is placed, then out of the door, down the stairs to the street.She stopped before a sign, and said, "Mrs. Alfonso F Roni, specializing in all kinds of hair."". Della ran up the stairs panting after a pause. The mast, the lady body is too pale, with Sofros stern manner, "the title is irrelevant."Are you going to buy my hair?"" Della asked."I buy my hair," said madame. "Take off your hat, and let me see the hair."."The brown falls down rippled."Twenty dollars," said Madame, grabbing her hair as she was."Give me the money quickly," della said.Ah, the next two hours, like wings, flew happily past. Forget the hashed metaphor. She was rummaging through the shops to buy gifts for Jim.She finally found it. It must have been made for Jim. It was never meant for anybody else. She has searched the stores, where there is no such thing, a simple white gold bracelet with a carved. Just like all good things, it is only a matter of length, not a display of decoration. And its worthy of the gold watch. As soon as she saw it she knew that it must belong to all of Jim. It is like Jim himself, quiet and value -- the description applied to both. She bought it for twenty-one dollars, hurried home, leaving only seven cents. The gold watch, the chain, whether on any occasion, Jim can no kuise to look at the time.Even though the watch was gorgeous, because it used the old belt to represent the chain, he sometimes glanced furtively.After della came home, her ecstasy became a little cautious and sensible. She lit the gas and the hair pincers to repair for love and generosity to the destruction, it is always a very difficult task, dear friends -- a mammoth task.Within forty minutes her head was covered with close lying curls that made her look like a schoolboy. She stared at herself in the mirror the old look, carefully and critically according to."If Jim looked at me not to kill my words," she automatic speaking, "hell say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl. But what can I do? - well, only one yuan and seven cents. What can I do?"Seven oclock, she made the coffee, the pan on the hot stove, always do steak.Jim always goes home on time. Della held the silver chain in her hand and sat near the door on the corner of the table. Then she heard his footsteps on the stairs below, and she lost his face for a moment. She had a habit for the simplest everyday things and pray silently, atthe moment, she whispered: "please God, make him think I am still pretty."The door opened, and Jim stepped in and closed the door. He looked thin and very serious. Poor man, he was only twenty-two years old, and he was burdened with a family! He needs to buy a new coat, not even a glove.Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed on della, and his face made her unable to understand and make her hair stand on end. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, is not an expression of any she had expected. He just stared at della with his face in his face.Della wriggled, jumped down from the table and went over to him."Jim, dear," she cried, "dont stare at me like that.". I cut off my hair and sold it. Because I didnt give you a present, I couldnt spend christmas. Hair will grow again - you dont mind, do you? Im not going to do that. My hair grows very fast. Say Merry Christmas! Jim, lets be happy. You cant guess what a nice gift I bought you - what a beautiful and delicate gift!""Have you cut off your hair?"" Asked Jim slowly, he racked his brains did not seem to realize this obvious fact."Cut it off," della said. "Anyway, dont you like me too?" Without long hair, Im still me, right?"Jim looked at the room curiously four times."Did you say your hair was gone?"" He asked, almost idiotic."Dont look for it," said della. "Tell you, I sold it - sold it, no!". Its Christmas Eve, nice guy. Treat me well, its for you. "Maybe my hair counts," she said, very softly, "but nobody knows how much I love you.". I do steak, Jim?"Jim seemed to wake up from a trance and put della in his arms. Now, dont worry, lets take ten seconds to think carefully about something unimportant from another angle. The rent is $eight a week, or $one million - whats the difference? A mathematician or a wit will give you the wrong answer. Maggie brings precious gifts, but its missing that thing. This obscure statement will be explained later.Jim took a small bag out of his coat pocket and threw it on the table."Dont make any mistake for me, Del," he said, "no matter Haircut or a shave or a shampoo, I think there what can reduce a little bit of love for my wife. However, as long as you open the package you will see why you had me reckless."The white fingers cleverly untied the rope and opened the paper bag. And then there was a scream of rapture, oops! Suddenly became a female neurotic tears and crying, in urgent need of the owner of all the way to comfort.Or because the combs -- the set of combs on the table, side and back, everything. It was a long time ago that Della had seen and envied something in a window in broadway. These beautiful combs, pure tortoiseshell, xiangzhuo jewelry -- just the color of her lost hair match. She knew that the comb was too expensive, and she only admired it, but never thought of it. Now, all this belongs to her, but the beautiful long hair that has the qualifications to wear this coveted ornament has disappeared.However, she still hairbrush to her chest, took a moment to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "my hair grows so fast, Jim!"Then, she looked like a scalded cat jumped up and cried, "oh! Oh!"Jim hasnt seen his beautiful gift yet. She can scarcely wait to open palm, stretched out in front of him, the dull precious metal seemed so bright.Is it beautiful, Jim? I searched all over the city to find it. Now, you can watch it one hundred times a day. Give me the watch, and Ill see what it looks like on the watch."Kim instead of obeying, but fell on the couch, his hands under his head and smiled."Del," he said, "lets put aside the Christmas gifts and save it for a while. They are so good that they are not suitable for use at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. Now, you do steak."As you all know, Maggie is a clever, intelligent person who brings gifts to Jesus who is born in a manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas gifts. Because they are smart people, there is no doubt that their gifts are smart gifts, and if you meet two things exactlythe same, you may also have the right to exchange. Here, I have clumsily introduced you to two silly children living in an apartment suite, not surprisingly, they have unwisely sacrificed their most precious things for each other. But lets say the last word to the wise today, among all the gifts, the two are the wisest. Among all the gifts and gifts received, the two of them are the wisest. Wherever they are, theyre the smartest people.They are sages. .翻译1块8毛7，就这么些钱，其中六毛是一分一分的铜板，一个子儿一个子儿在杂货店老板、菜贩子和肉店老板那儿硬赖来的，每次闹得脸发臊，深感这种掂斤播两的交易实在丢人现眼。
