内容概要

自称纽约400万小市民之一的欧·亨利不仅早年混迹江湖，而且成名后一直与下层百姓为伍，因而对曼哈顿的旧街道、老房屋、小饭馆了如指掌，一生以平民生活为题材创作的短篇小说逾300篇。作者着力刻画小市民阶层的众生相，尤长于平中见奇，寓庄于谐，或白描，或漫画，举凡《麦琪的礼物》、《警察与赞美诗》、《最后一片叶子》等篇均脍炙人口，在世界上一直拥有最广泛的读者。
《欧·亨利短篇小说集(英文版)》选取欧·亨利的短篇小说30篇，是作家一生创作的精华所在。欧·亨利的小说还是学习地道的美国英语的极好教材，他的作品常常使用双关语、讹音、谐音等手法，活泼生动，这也是欧·亨利具有“惊人的持久的影响”的一个重要因素。

章节摘录

版权页：   "'Jeff,' says Andy after a long time,'quite unseldom I haveseen fit to impugn your molars when you have been chewingthe rag with me about your conscientious way of doingbusiness. I may have been often wrong. But here is a casewhere I think we can agree. I feel that it would be wrong forus to allow Mr. Murkison to go alone to meet those Chicagogreen goods men. There is but one way it can end. Don't youthink we would both feel better if we was to intervene insome way and prevent the doing of this deed?' "I got up and shook Andy Tucker's hand hard and long. "'Andy,' says I, 'I may have had one or two hard thoughtsabout the heartlessness of your corporation. but I retract 'emnow. You have a kind nucleus at the interior of your exteriorafter all. It does you credit. I was just thinking the samething that you have expressed. It would not be honorable orpraiseworthy,' says I,'for us to let Murkison go on with thisproject he has taken up. If he is determined to go let us gowith him and prevent this swindle from coming off.' "Andy agreed with me; and I was glad to see that he wasin earnest about breaking up this green goods scheme. "'I don't call myself a religious man.' says I, 'or a fanatic inmoral bigotry, but I can't stand still and see a man who hasbuilt up his business by his own efforts and brains and riskbe robbed by an unscrupulous trickster who is a menace tothe public good.' "'Right, Jeff,' says Andy. 'We'll stick right along withMurkison if he insists on going and block this funnybusiness. I'd hate to see any money dropped in it as bad asyou would.'
