欧·亨利善于描写美国社会尤其是纽约百姓的生活。他的作品构思新颖，语言诙谐，结局常常出人意外；又因描写了众多的人物，富于生活情趣，被誉为"美国生活的幽默网络全书"。代表作有小说集《白菜与国王》、《四百万》、《命运之路》等。其中一些名篇如《爱的牺牲》、《警察与赞美诗》、《带家具出租的房间》、《麦琪的礼物》、《最后一片藤叶》等使他获得了世界声誉。
2. 二十年以后 欧亨利 故事情节
故事概括起来大致是：
有两个情同手足的好朋友，在纽约一起长大。其中一个要去西部闯荡，于是在出发前晚，两人相聚一个小餐馆，约定20年后的同一日期、同一时间，来到这里再次相会。
20年后，去西部的男子鲍勃回到了原地，却发现小餐馆已经变成了一个店铺，就在那里等候老朋友吉米·维尔斯。
此时，有个执勤的警察经过，发现了男子右眼角的一块白色的伤疤，两人聊起了20年前的那个约定，之后警察不露声色地走开了。
不久来了一个高个子男子，与鲍勃相认，但鲍勃很快识破此人不是吉米，高个子亮出了警察的身份，逮捕了鲍勃，原来鲍勃正是芝加哥警方通缉的罪犯。
在去警察局之前，便衣给了鲍勃一张纸条，原来刚才那名巡逻警察竟是吉米，他本是来赴约的，但发现鲍勃的特征与通缉犯相符，又不忍心亲手逮捕他，便想出了这个主意。
这个结局有两大出人意料，一是主人公鲍勃竟是个被通缉的罪犯，二是那个擦肩而过的警察竟是他翘首以盼的好朋友。
两个20年后重聚，原本可以一诉衷肠的好朋友却因为各自的境遇变迁导致了这一结局，不禁令人感叹。
(2)欧亨利短篇小说二十年后英文全文扩展阅读：
《二十年以后》描写了鲍勃按二十年前约定好的时间、地点，去会见要好的朋友吉米的故事。二十年的沧桑岁月，他们经历了人生的辛酸，当他们见面时命运却让他们以警察与通缉犯的形式出现。
在文章结尾时突然让人物的心理情境发生出人意料的变化，或使主人公命运陡然逆转，出现意想不到但又在情理之中的结果，从而造成独特的艺术魅力，这就是欧·亨利式结尾。
《二十年以后》直到结尾我们才发现原来吉米早就如约前来。当他在昏暗的灯光下借着火柴的亮光认出自己的好友就是通缉犯时，在情与法的艰难抉择中，“不忍自己亲自逮捕你，只得找了个便衣警察来做这件事”。
这样的结局让我们掩卷后又细细地回味。又如在《麦琪的礼物》中，描述一对贫苦夫妻的爱情，当结尾夫妻俩各持均已无用的礼物时，黯然神伤……在善良崇高的人性与冷酷无情的现实生活的强烈对比中，读者一定会感受颇多。
总之，欧·亨利的小说以新颖独特的构思、诙谐幽默的语言、表面轻松而内里沉重的格调。表现出对人性的强烈关注。对生活的深切反思。它歌颂着小人物在生存中美好善良、相濡以沫的淳朴品格，幽默却不无苍凉的苦笑。

5. 《二十年后》欧 亨利 主要内容
纽约的一条大街上，一位值勤的警察正沿街走着。一阵冷飕飕的风向他迎面吹来。已近夜间10点，街上的行人寥寥无几了。
在一家小店铺的门口，昏暗的灯光下站着一个男子。他的嘴里叼着一支没有点燃的雪茄烟。警察放慢了脚步，认真地看了他一眼，然后，向那个男子走了过去。
“这儿没有出什么事，警官先生。”看见警察向自己走来，那个男子很快地说，“我只是在这儿等一位朋友罢了。这是20年前定下的一个约会。你听了觉得稀奇，是吗？好吧，如果有兴致听的话，我来给你讲讲。大约20年前，这儿，这个店铺现在所占的地方，原来是一家餐馆……”
“那餐馆5年前就被拆除了。”警察接上去说。
男子划了根火柴，点燃了叼在嘴上的雪茄。借着火柴的亮光，警察发现这个男子脸色苍白，右眼角附近有一块小小的白色的伤疤。
“20年前的今天晚上，”男子继续说，“我和吉米·维尔斯在这儿的餐馆共进晚餐。哦，吉米是我最要好的朋友。我们俩都是在纽约这个城市里长大的。从孩提时候起，我们就亲密无间，情同手足。当时，我正准备第二天早上就动身到西部去谋生。那天夜晚临分手的时候，我们俩约定：20年后的同一日期、同一时间，我们俩将来到这里再次相会。”
“这听起来倒挺有意思的。”警察说，“你们分手以后，你就没有收到过你那位朋友的信吗？”
“哦，收到过他的信。有一段时间我们曾相互通信。”那男子 说，“可是一两年之后，我们就失去了联系。你知道，西部是个很大的地方。而我呢，又总是不断地东奔西跑。可我相信，吉米只要还活着，就一定会来这儿和我相会的。他是我最信得过的朋友啦。”
说完，男子从口袋里掏出一块小巧玲球的金表。表上的宝石在黑暗中闪闪发光。“九点五十七分了。”
他说，“我们上一次是十点整在这儿的餐馆分手的。”
“你在西部混得不错吧？”警察问道。
“当然罗！吉米的光景要是能赶上我的一半就好了。啊，实在不容易啊！这些年来，我一直不得不东奔西跑……”
又是一阵冷赠飕的风穿街而过。接着，一片沉寂。他们俩谁也没有说话。过了一会儿，警察准备离开这里。
“我得走了，”他对那个男子说，“我希望你的朋友很快就会到来。假如他不准时赶来，你会离开这儿吗？”
“不会的。我起码要再等他半个小时。如果吉米他还活在人间，他到时候一定会来到这儿的。就说这些吧，再见，警官先生。”
“再见，先生。”警察一边说着，一边沿街走去，街上已经没有行人了，空荡荡的。
男子又在这店铺的门前等了大约二十分钟的光景，这时候，一 个身材高大的人急匆匆地径直走来。他穿着一件黑色的大衣，衣领向上翻着，盖住了耳朵。
“你是鲍勃吗？’来人问道。
“你是吉米·维尔斯？”站在门口的男子大声地说，显然，他很激动。
来人握住了男子的双手。“不错，你是鲍勃。我早就确信我会在这儿见到你的。啧，啧，啧！20年是个不短的时间啊！你看，鲍勃！原来的那个饭馆已经不在啦！要是它没有被拆除，我们再一块儿在这里面共进晚餐该多好啊！鲍勃，你在西部的情况怎么样？”
“幄，我已经设法获得了我所需要的一切东西。你的变化不小啊，吉米。我原来根本没有想到你会长这么高的个子。”
“哦，你走了以后，我是长高了一点儿。”
“吉米，你在纽约混得不错吧？”
“一般，一般。我在市政府的一个部门里上班，坐办公室。来，鲍勃，咱们去转转，找个地方好好叙叙往事。”
这条街的街角处有一家大商店。尽管时间已经不早了，商店里的灯还在亮着。来到亮处以后，这两个人都不约而同地转过身来看了看对方的脸。
突然间，那个从西部来的男子停住了脚步。
“你不是吉米·维尔斯。”他说，“2O年的时间虽然不短，但它不足以使一个人变得容貌全非。”从他说话的声调中可以听出，他在怀疑对方。
“然而，20年的时间却有可能使一个好人变成坏人。”高个子 说，“你被捕了，鲍勃。芝加哥的警方猜到你会到这个城市来的，于是他们通知我们说，他们想跟你‘聊聊’。好吧，在我们还没有去警察局之前，先给你看一张条子，是你的朋友写给你的。”
鲍勃接过便条。读着读着，他微微地颤抖起来。便条上写着：
鲍勃：刚才我准时赶到了我们的约会地点。当你划着火柴点烟时，我发现你正是那个芝加哥警方所通缉的人。不知怎么的，我不忍自己亲自逮捕你，只得找了个便衣警察来做这件事

After Twenty Years
The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue impressively. The
impressiveness was habitual and not for show, for spectators were
few. The time was barely 10 o'clock at night, but chilly gusts of
wind with a taste of rain in them had well nigh depeopled the
streets.
Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and
artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown
the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and
slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. The
vicinity was one that kept early hours. Now and then you might see
the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter; but the
majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since
been closed.
When about midway of a certain block the policeman suddenly slowed
his walk. In the doorway of a darkened hardware store a man leaned,
with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. As the policeman walked up to
him the man spoke up quickly.
"It's all right, officer," he said, reassuringly. "I'm just waiting
for a friend. It's an appointment made twenty years ago. Sounds a
little funny to you, doesn't it? Well, I'll explain if you'd like to
make certain it's all straight. About that long ago there used to be
a restaurant where this store stands--'Big Joe' Brady's restaurant."
"Until five years ago," said the policeman. "It was torn down then."
The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar. The light
showed a pale, square-jawed face with keen eyes, and a little white
scar near his right eyebrow. His scarfpin was a large diamond, oddly
set.
"Twenty years ago to-night," said the man, "I dined here at 'Big Joe'
Brady's with Jimmy Wells, my best chum, and the finest chap in the
world. He and I were raised here in New York, just like two
brothers, together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next
morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. You couldn't
have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place
on earth. Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again
exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our
conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. We
figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny
worked out and our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be."
"It sounds pretty interesting," said the policeman. "Rather a long
time between meets, though, it seems to me. Haven't you heard from
your friend since you left?"
"Well, yes, for a time we corresponded," said the other. "But after
a year or two we lost track of each other. You see, the West is a
pretty big proposition, and I kept hustling around over it pretty
lively. But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive, for he
always was the truest, stanchest old chap in the world. He'll never
forget. I came a thousand miles to stand in this door to-night, and
it's worth it if my old partner turns up."
The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with
small diamonds.
"Three minutes to ten," he announced. "It was exactly ten o'clock
when we parted here at the restaurant door."
"Did pretty well out West, didn't you?" asked the policeman.
"You bet! I hope Jimmy has done half as well. He was a kind of
plodder, though, good fellow as he was. I've had to compete with
some of the sharpest wits going to get my pile. A man gets in a
groove in New York. It takes the West to put a razor-edge on him."
The policeman twirled his club and took a step or two.
"I'll be on my way. Hope your friend comes around all right. Going
to call time on him sharp?"
"I should say not!" said the other. "I'll give him half an hour at
least. If Jimmy is alive on earth he'll be here by that time. So
long, officer."
"Good-night, sir," said the policeman, passing on along his beat,
trying doors as he went.
There was now a fine, cold drizzle falling, and the wind had risen
from its uncertain puffs into a steady blow. The few foot passengers
astir in that quarter hurried dismally and silently along with coat
collars turned high and pocketed hands. And in the door of the
hardware store the man who had come a thousand miles to fill an
appointment, uncertain almost to absurdity, with the friend of his
youth, smoked his cigar and waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long
overcoat, with collar turned up to his ears, hurried across from the
opposite side of the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
"Is that you, Bob?" he asked, doubtfully.
"Is that you, Jimmy Wells?" cried the man in the door.
"Bless my heart!" exclaimed the new arrival, grasping both the
other's hands with his own. "It's Bob, sure as fate. I was certain
I'd find you here if you were still in existence. Well, well, well!
--twenty years is a long time. The old gone, Bob; I wish it had
lasted, so we could have had another dinner there. How has the West
treated you, old man?"
"Bully; it has given me everything I asked it for. You've changed
lots, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall by two or three
inches."
"Oh, I grew a bit after I was twenty."
"Doing well in New York, Jimmy?"
"Moderately. I have a position in one of the city departments. Come
on, Bob; we'll go around to a place I know of, and have a good long
talk about old times."
The two men started up the street, arm in arm. The man from the
West, his egotism enlarged by success, was beginning to outline the
history of his career. The other, submerged in his overcoat,
listened with interest.
At the corner stood a drug store, brilliant with electric lights.
When they came into this glare each of them turned simultaneously to
gaze upon the other's face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and released his arm.
"You're not Jimmy Wells," he snapped. "Twenty years is a long time,
but not long enough to change a man's nose from a Roman to a pug."
"It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one, said the tall man.
"You've been under arrest for ten minutes, 'Silky' Bob. Chicago
thinks you may have dropped over our way and wires us she wants to
have a chat with you. Going quietly, are you? That's sensible.
Now, before we go on to the station here's a note I was asked to hand
you. You may read it here at the window. It's from Patrolman
Wells."
The man from the West unfolded the little piece of paper handed him.
His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little
by the time he had finished. The note was rather short.
~"Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the
match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the man wanted in
Chicago. Somehow I couldn't do it myself, so I went around and got
a plain clothes man to do the job. JIMMY."

(7)欧亨利短篇小说二十年后英文全文扩展阅读：
创作背景：
1862年，美国林肯总统在《宅地法》中规定，任何公民只需交15美元的证件费，便可在美国西部得到一块相当于160英亩的土地；在这块土地上连续耕作五年以上就可成为这块土地的主人，这一措施民主地解决了独立战争期间的土地问题，同时激发了美国人勤劳创业、发财的热情。
这时的人们纯朴、勤劳、勇敢，充满活力和生气，他们彼此重义气、讲交情，尽管他们在对付满腔怒火的印第安人时也干尽了野蛮的掠夺、杀戮等强盗行径，正如在西部文学作品中所看到的那样。
但也许是远离城市，西部资产阶级内部尚未染上唯利是图、尔虞我诈的恶习，或者说为对付险恶的自然环境他们尚未顾及内部的倾轧和吞并。
19世纪末20世纪初期的美国，处于资本主义飞速发展阶段，出现了资本集中和无产阶级的贫困化，同时，中小资产阶级的破产及失业大军的不断扩大，使美国社会的阶级矛盾不断尖锐化和表面化。
美国南北战争以前的文学，由于受资本主义的民主、自由理想所鼓舞，作家们多用浪漫主义手法进行创作；战后的文学，由于生活理想的破灭，作家们多以现实主义手法来表现生活。欧·亨利就是这些理想破灭了的作家中的一个，其人生之路崎岖、艰苦而又不幸。
欧·亨利当过牧童、药剂师、办事员、制图员、出纳员等。欧·亨利长期生活在下层，形形色色的社会现象使他对这些矛盾心感身受。在他优秀的作品中，对资本主义腐朽的制度、狰狞的法律、虚伪的道德、庸俗的生活等各个方面的丑恶现象，都做了一定程度的揭露、讽刺和批判。

9. 《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。
