欧亨利100短篇英文小说看不懂

㈠ 欧亨利短篇小说

读《麦琪的礼物》有感
《麦琪的礼物》是欧·亨利写的一篇有趣的文章。它主要讲述了圣诞节的前一天，住在公寓里的贫穷的德拉想给丈夫吉姆一个惊喜，可是她只有一元八角七，她知道这点钱根本不够买什么好的礼物，于是她把引以自豪的褐色瀑布似的秀发剪下来，卖了，换来了20美元。找遍了各家商店，德拉花去21美元，终于买到一条朴素的白金表链，这可以配上吉姆的那块金表。而吉姆也想给老婆一个惊喜，他同样卖掉了引以自豪的金表，买了德拉羡慕渴望已久的全套漂亮的梳子作圣诞礼物。
从这篇文章里，虽然表面上看他们极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们家各自最宝贵的东西，但我深深地感到，他们彼此深爱着对方。他们能牺牲自己最贵重的物品，为的是给对方买来最好的礼物。可是双方卖掉了自己贵重的物品，那么对方的礼物已经不适合自己了，而他们做这些事的时候，都是为了对方着想，根本没有考虑自己。正是因为他们互相爱着，而且是深深地爱着对方，才会有这样有趣的结局。
读完这篇文章，我懂得了我们要去关爱别人，这样别人才会爱我们，正是有了爱，人与人之间才会相互理解，人与人之间才有温情。人与动物之间也是因为有了爱，动物才会信任人类，不伤害人类，与人类和平相处。爱的力量真的是很伟大的，有一首歌里面就唱到了：只要人人都献出一点爱，世界将变成美好的人间。在去年印度洋海啸发生的时候，就有全世界各国的人民伸出援助之手，捐款捐物帮助受难的灾民重建家园，使失散的亲人团聚，从这件事中，我感受到了各国人民之间的纯洁友谊。我相信：只要我们心中充满爱，我们的世界会有更加美好的明天

最后一片叶子》读后感
因这我想看到最后一片叶子掉下来，我等得不耐烦了，也想得不耐烦了，我想摆脱一切飘下去，飘下去，像一片可怜的，疲倦了的叶子那样。
——引自《最后一片叶子》
其实，我想对你们说，别再这样无聊下去了，学点吧，至少让你们觉得并非无事可做。我想对你们说，抓住青春吧，别让它从你身边飘走。
初中三年，应该是残酷的三年，因为它只来一次，而它来的时候，我们还不懂得人生，还没有做好迎接它的准备。我不想你们在走出这个大门后，回首的瞬间，有着太多的失落、后悔与心酸。
或许因为一次次地失败，你们对学习失去了信心，你们认为这一切太难太难。但即使如此，我们就可以放弃吗？
不，为什么要放弃！一直以来，我就以为自己的命运就得自己来主宰；一直以来，我就认为这世上的每一个生命都有权力活出自己的精彩；一直以来，我就把自己当作一个勇士，任何的惊险，我都要去尝试；一直以来，在每一次失落、失败后，我命令自己勇敢地站起来！
对自己的未来负责，你们想过吗？不需要别人来画上那一片叶子，让我们自己对自己说：永远都不放弃，在任何时刻！
选择：给我自己
贝尔门，一个伟大的画家。虽然他的大半生都穷困潦倒，走得是一条失败之路。但他始终有个响亮的目标——画一幅“伟大的杰作”。四十年，他都没有因自己的失败而放弃作画，他一直等待着时机。
与把自己的生命寄托于一片飘摇的叶子琼西相比，贝尔门更像一个失败的英雄。面对他，和他用生命画成的“杰作”，我们任何人都不得不肃然起敬。
然而，如果冷静地思考一下，像贝尔门这样几乎盲目的执着却并非可取。若没有最后的偶然，他将是一个彻头彻尾的可怜虫。在这个世界上，物竞天择，适者生存，既然他在画画方面没有什么天赋，不可能有更大的发展，那就应该明智些，在活下来的前提下，更换一种新的生存方式
，努力使自己活得更出色，而不必拘泥于那没有发展的绘画。

学习，就像一棵树——或许生活也是。我们不可能将每片叶子、每件事都做得很好。就像我，不可能完全地参加所有竞赛，不可能把我曾经喜爱的笛子、二胡练得样样精通，也不可能和每一个同学交成好朋友。于是，我选择放弃，我放弃了许多的叶子，放弃了二胡、笛子，放弃了我不能取得成功的数学竞赛，但我不放弃自己。放弃一些叶子，只是为了让有限的水分和养料开出我想要的花，结出我想要的果，只是为了让自己的根枝长得更粗壮，让自己有一个更有发展余地的未来。
于是，我放弃我应该放弃的，但绝不放弃自己。
《警察与赞美诗》读后感
当人们真正想要努力去做了，上帝偏偏又开始吝啬了，反悔了，赖皮了。
不可否认，机遇是不等人的，它不是被动的，不会等着你去分析这，分析那，考虑这，考虑那等一系列琐碎的事件后，再决定去做。或许它本身就是个稍纵即逝的“精灵”，它考验的是我们的勇气与胆量，智慧与灵魂。但也不是说，所有的事都不应该经过深思熟虑，周密安妥的进行，如果是这样，那么我们与远古时代又有何分别？ 当然机遇也是需要珍惜的，需要好好利用的，碰到机遇已经是很“困难”的，要充分地彻底地去利用，却是“难上加难”。怎样去更好地“完善”它，是个重点。
那位警察，不是已经给了索比多次机会吗？而索比并没有为此去认识到什么，只是一味地无休止地不停地为着他心中所谓的“目标”继续扮演着生命的“小丑”，乐此不疲。而幸运的他，总在“舞台”上有写“失足”，但终究被当作“笑料”，一笑置之。
一场“戏剧”的结束，意味着另一场“戏剧”的开演。对警察而言，只是去例行公事；对读者而言，只是将近结尾；对生活而言，只是个小插曲；对编剧而言，是个不错的情节；对观众而言，只是对得起一张票；对索比而言，是对生命的新想法地靠近，是为他先前的“无知”付出的代价，是为他不懂的珍惜从他手中逃脱，也许可以扭转他命运的“机遇”而对其藐视所得到的教训的最终结果。
如果他会怪任何人，那么证明他的确活该；如果他只怪自己，那么他就能大声地对自己说：“三个月，也不算太久，我会珍惜并且把握住每一天的光阴。幸福，其实并没走远，只是我忽略了。等着吧……”
幸福，其实并没走远。没错，主宰幸福的有很多，机遇是其中的一个。不要等到上帝不耐烦了，毕竟他也有喜怒哀乐，给你个下马威，到那时，就好象太没“人情味”了。受苦的可是自己。
珍惜周遭的人或物，它们每天都在改变，只是我们太忙，没看见。机遇，就好比是遇到的机会，是件好事。好好把握，将它的好处发挥至极，则是一件“美”事。一个人的生命中会有形形色色的状况，每一个状况所具有的意义却是截然不同，大相径庭。选择不同的状况，就会有不同的人生，不同的命运，不同的变化……所以，我们要将机遇“透明化”，完全看清，这样，才不会误入歧途啦。
倘若相反，结局就会如同索比：惊恐地醒悟到自己已经坠入了深渊，堕落的岁月，可耻的欲念，悲观失望，才穷智竭，动机卑鄙。
机遇遇到却不把握，是蠢材；不遇机遇却懂得把握，是人才；既遇机遇又懂得把握，是天才。
《我的叔叔于勒》是莫泊桑的经典短篇小说之一，描写了一个破落家族寄希望于远走美国的“于勒叔叔”能够衣锦还乡带来财富，然而却在一次郊游中偶然发现，这位亲戚已经成了一名在游船上卖牡蛎的流浪汉，从而梦幻破灭的故事。莫泊桑以娴熟的讽刺笔法，描摹了19世纪法国社会的市井百态，文字精炼而又颇为传神。

《两位感恩节的绅士》故事讲了两位美国绅士——其中一人根本不能称之为绅士，他只能说是一个常年受饥饿折磨的穷人。在他们之间有个奇怪的约定——每年感恩节，穷人便会坐在联邦广场喷水池对面人行道旁边东入口右面的第三条长凳上，等待着老绅士的到来。老绅士来了之后，会带这位饥肠辘辘的穷人饱餐一顿。这就是他们之间神圣的约定。对老绅士而言，一顿饭钱简直微不足道，但是，他却从其中找到了助人的乐趣。而穷人的目的也并不完全是在于那顿丰盛的饭菜，更重要的是能使一位老人如自己所愿。
这个传统延续了九年之久，第十年的感恩节，穷人照惯例走在去约会地点的路上。可出乎意料的事发生了。半路上，穷人被一幢住宅的管家请进了门，并可以享受一顿丰盛的大餐。原来住宅的主人——两位老太太，也有一个奇怪的传统——在正午把第一个饥饿的路人请进门，让他大吃大喝，饱餐一顿。饥饿的穷人抵挡不住事物的诱惑，畅开肚子，吃了起来。当他心满意足地走出住宅时，才想起了和老绅士的约定。但他还是如约与老绅士碰了面。老绅士将他带到了一处餐厅，穷人为了不扫老绅士的兴，只能装作饥饿难奈地狼吞虎咽起来。尽管穷人那时只剩下挪动身子和呼吸的确力气了。穷人吃完后，老绅士付了帐，两人便道了别。
故事的结局是——两人在回家的路上都晕了过去，被送进了医院。穷人是因为吃得太撑，几乎撑破了胃，而老绅士，一位在前些日子还家财万贯的富翁则是因为三天三夜没有吃东西，身体脱虚，而在路上倒了下来。
读这篇文章就好像是在嚼一只橄榄，甜味中带了一丝酸涩，让人在漠然一笑之后，思索良久。
文中的主人公，充其量不过是两个“小人物”，然而反映初等推己及人，相濡以沫的人性魅力却是那些“大人物”，“权贵们”所无法匹敌的。
那位老绅士在身上只剩下一点钱的情况下，完全可以不去赴约，但是他看重的不是金钱，而是诚信，他宁可饿死也不愿意食言。相比如今社会上一些只要自己利益受到损害就不择手段的人来说，老绅士的人性魅力显露无遗。再看那个穷人，尽管吃不饱穿不暖，没有受什么教育，但是他比任何受过良好教育的“权贵”都充满魅力 ——那是人性的魅力，他可以对老绅士说自己已经饱了，可他为了圆老绅士的心愿，咬紧牙关，把饭菜吃得干干净净。也许这很可笑，可是却是不是多么伟大，多么令人钦佩！
读了这篇文章，我知道了人性的伟大力量，我也立志要像那两个绅士一样，不求活得轰轰烈烈，但求真真实实，充满意义，有所追求！！！
以上回答你满意么？

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.

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.

While the mistress of the home is graally subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad. In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name "Mr. James Dillingham Young." The "Dillingham" had been flung to the breeze ring a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week. Now, when the income was shrunk to $20, the letters of "Dillingham" looked blurred, as though they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. But whenever Mr. James Dillingham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called "Jim" and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dillingham Young, already introced to you as Della. Which is all very good.

Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked out lly at a grey cat walking a grey fence in a grey 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. Twenty dollars a week doesn't go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling-- something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honour of being owned by Jim.

There was a pier-glass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you have seen a pier-glass in an $8 flat. A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks. Della, being slender, had mastered the art.

Suddenly she whirled from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its colour within twenty seconds. Rapidly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length.

Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim's gold watch that had been his father's and his grandfather's. The other was Della's hair. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from envy.

So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her, rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment 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.

On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street.

Where she stopped the sign read: "Mme. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds." One flight up Della ran, and collected herself, panting. Madame, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the "Sofronie."

"Will you buy my hair?" asked Della.

"I buy hair," said Madame. "Take yer hat off and let's have a sight at the looks of it."

Down rippled the brown cascade. "Twenty dollars," said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand.

"Give it to me quick," said Della.

Oh, and the next two hours tripped by on rosy wings. Forget the hashed metaphor. She was ransacking the stores for Jim's present.

She found it at last. It surely had been made for Jim and no one else. There was no other like it in any of the stores, and she had turned all of them inside out. It was a platinum fob chain simple and chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation--as all good things should do. It was even worthy of The Watch. As soon as she saw it she that it must be Jim's. It was like him. Quietness and value-- the description applied to both. Twenty-one dollars they took from her for it, and she hurried home with the 87 cents. With that chain on his watch Jim might be properly anxious about the time in any company. Grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked at it on the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain.

When Della reached home her intoxication gave way a little to prudence and reason. She got out her curling irons and lighted the gas and went to work repairing the ravages made by generosity added to love. Which is always a tremendous task, dear friends--a mammoth task.

Within forty minutes her head was covered with tiny, close-lying curls that made her look wonderfully like a truant schoolboy. She looked at her reflection in the mirror long, carefully, and critically.

"If Jim doesn't kill me," she said to herself, "before he takes a second look at me, he'll say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl. But what could I do--oh! what could I do with a dollar and eighty- seven cents?"

At 7 o'clock the coffee was made and the frying-pan was on the back of the stove hot and ready to cook the chops.

Jim was never late. Della doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on the corner of the table near the door that he always entered. Then she heard his step on the stair away down on the first flight, and she turned white for just a moment. She had a habit for saying little silent prayers about the simplest everyday things, and now she whispered: "Please God, make him think I am still pretty."

The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it. He looked thin and very serious. Poor fellow, he was only twenty-two--and to be burdened with a family! He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.

Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been prepared for. He simply stared at her fixedly with that peculiar expression on his face.

Della wriggled off the table and went for him.

"Jim, darling," she cried, "don't look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present. It'll grow out again--you won't mind, will you? I just had to do it. My hair grows awfully fast. Say 'Merry Christmas!' Jim, and let's be happy. You don't know what a nice--what a beautiful, nice gift I've got for you."

"You've cut off your hair?" asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived at that patent fact yet even after the hardest mental labor.

"Cut it off and sold it," said Della. "Don't you like me just as well, anyhow? I'm me without my hair, ain't I?"

Jim looked about the room curiously.

"You say your hair is gone?" he said, with an air almost of idiocy.

"You needn't look for it," said Della. "It's sold, I tell you--sold and gone, too. It's Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered," she went on with sudden serious sweetness, "but nobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the chops on, Jim?"

Out of his trance Jim seemed quickly to wake. He enfolded his Della. For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential object in the other direction. Eight dollars a week or a million a year--what is the difference? A mathematician or a wit would give you the wrong answer. The magi brought valuable gifts, but that was not among them. This dark assertion will be illuminated later on.

Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table.

"Don't make any mistake, Dell," he said, "about me. I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first."

White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.

For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!"

And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!"

Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The ll precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit.

"Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled.

"Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of plication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two 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. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

㈣ 欧亨利短篇小说讲解

了解一位作家的作品精神，先要了解作者这个人。他是批判现实主义作家，擅于描写美国社会尤其是纽约百姓的生活，道貌岸然的上流社会和制造气氛，（特别是大都会夜生活）。他一生困顿，常与失意落魄的小人物同甘共苦，又能以别出心裁的艺术手法表现他们复杂的感情，所以他的笔下多是众多富于生活情趣的小人物。他的文字生动活泼，善于利用双关语、讹音等，妙趣横生,被喻为[含泪的微笑]。欧·亨利以擅长结尾闻名遐迩（通常是最后一句），美国文学界称之为“欧·亨利式的结尾”，意为出人意料。
个人觉得他的作品对人生，社会等大问题的观察和分析并不深刻，有些作品比较浅薄，但内里所包含的人道主义精神值得称道，语言也确实经得起锤炼。个人尤其喜欢他的结局设定，这是别的大家学不来的。

㈦ 《欧亨利短篇小说》英文读后感

《欧·亨利短篇小说选》是美国短篇小说大师欧·亨利作品的选集。书中，社会上那些巧取豪夺，坑蒙拐骗，利欲熏心，尔虞我诈的“上流人物”，“得意之徒”们的丑恶行径，被揭露无遗。通过他们的种种表现，形象逼真，不拘一格地向读者展现了“文明社会”的黑暗与滑稽本质，弱肉强食与天良丧尽的现实，并喻示在金钱万能，唯利是图的生存环境中，人性的异化和畸变。
然而在众多对丑恶人性的描写之中，也不乏许多使人肃然起敬的“小人物”，让人对荒诞，滑稽的故事漠然一笑之后，感慨万千。留给我印象最深的是《两位感恩节的绅士》这篇文章，它让我真正领略到了人性的魅力。
故事讲了两位美国绅士——其中一人根本不能称之为绅士，他只能说是一个常年受饥饿折磨的穷人。在他们之间有个奇怪的约定——每年感恩节，穷人便会坐在联邦广场喷水池对面人行道旁边东入口右面的第三条长凳上，等待着老绅士的到来。老绅士来了之后，会带这位饥肠辘辘的穷人饱餐一顿。这就是他们之间神圣的约定。对老绅士而言，一顿饭钱简直微不足道，但是，他却从其中找到了助人的乐趣。而穷人的目的也并不完全是在于那顿丰盛的饭菜，更重要的是能使一位老人如自己所愿。
这个传统延续了九年之久，第十年的感恩节，穷人照惯例走在去约会地点的路上。可出乎意料的事发生了。半路上，穷人被一幢住宅的管家请进了门，并可以享受一顿丰盛的大餐。原来住宅的主人——两位老太太，也有一个奇怪的传统——在正午把第一个饥饿的路人请进门，让他大吃大喝，饱餐一顿。饥饿的穷人抵挡不住事物的诱惑，畅开肚子，吃了起来。当他心满意足地走出住宅时，才想起了和老绅士的约定。但他还是如约与老绅士碰了面。老绅士将他带到了一处餐厅，穷人为了不扫老绅士的兴，只能装作饥饿难奈地狼吞虎咽起来。尽管穷人那时只剩下挪动身子和呼吸的确力气了。穷人吃完后，老绅士付了帐，两人便道了别。
《最后一片叶子》，一译《最后的长春藤》，他描写患肺炎的穷学生琼西看着窗外对面情上的爬山虎叶子不断被风吹落，他说，最后一片叶子代表她，它的飘落，代表自己的死亡。贝尔曼，一个伟大的画家，在听完苏讲述完同学琼西的故事后，在最后一片叶子飘落，下着暴雨的夜里，用心灵的画笔画出了一片“永不凋落”的长春藤叶，编造了一个善良且真实的谎言，而自己却从此患上肺炎，一病不起。
如今，最后一片常春藤叶依然留在古老的墙面；琼西也绽放出了往日的笑容；伟大的画家贝尔曼永远留在人们的心中。读完《最后一片叶子》我很感动，为一种平实的感情，希望你也会。但面对自己的未来，我们不应像琼西那样等待别人来为自己画上“最后一片叶子”，让我们对自己说：“永不放弃，在任何时刻！”
《警察与圣歌》写一位年轻人因感人生无希望而做尽坏事，希望能在狱中了结一生，可是警察总是没有拘捕他。后来到他终於觉悟自由的宝贵时，却被警察因游荡罪而拘捕，反映出人生无常，很多事情也是在我们的意料之外。这样的结局令人惊奇之余，玩味不已，让作品结束得言有尽而意无穷，使我在合卷之后仍思索回味。

突破事物发展的常态，以一个意料不到的转折作结局固然是一种成功的小说写作方法，但也不宜每篇套用，否则会伤害作品本身的内容，失去作品的内涵。滥用意外的结尾，会使人觉得烦厌，要适当地使用方能收出人意表之效，所以欧亨利不是在每篇的作品中都有明显的意外式结局，他所写的故事虽在意料之外，却在情理之中，令我再三回味，经久耐读。

麦琪的礼物

乔和德丽雅是一对从事艺术的年轻夫妇，此时的他们正面临现实生活的贫穷和是否继续艺术之路之间进行抉择的窘境。

因源于彼此的深爱，妻子德丽雅主动放弃了艺术，瞒着丈夫在一家洗衣房当女工以支持他能够在艺术上继续深造；而丈夫乔也为了妻子德丽雅能够继续教音乐，主动放弃了自己的艺术之路，在同一家洗衣房当修理工，希望以此来支撑家庭的经济支出。

该小说中，主人公们用彼此纯洁的心灵、真挚的情感和崇高的牺牲精神给予了爱情最美丽的诠释，尽管他们的努力无法从根本上改变生活和艺术之间的矛盾，但却让对方看到了相互为爱的付出，看到了彼此爱情的忠贞。

生活的贫穷和捉襟见肘并没有磨灭他们对爱情的坚贞和信仰，表面上看，夫妻双方虽然都放弃了自己的挚爱追求，但彼此之间纯真、炙热的爱情却得以进一步升华。

正如该小说的篇名所描述的那样，爱是需要有牺牲的，只要彼此间有真爱，再大的牺牲都是值得的。也正是因为有了爱，人与人之间才能够相互理解，才能够互相体贴，才能够让爱情永恒。
