《麦琪的礼物》读后感

春节期间，我在家里读了一篇世界短篇小说巨匠欧亨利写的著名短篇小说《麦琪的礼物》。第一次翻开这本书是因为完成作业，但是读着读着我却深深的喜欢上了这篇小说。

《麦琪的礼物》是一个爱的故事。一对夫妻——吉姆和麦琪，他们家很穷，圣诞节来临时，两人都已经捉襟见肘。但他们却一心要给对方买一件最好的礼物。吉姆有一块非常漂亮的手表，只可惜没有合适的表链，麦琪早就想给他买一条漂亮的表链，于是她剪掉了自己金色瀑布一般的长发，换来了一条美丽的表链；而吉姆知道麦琪很喜欢商店里的一套发卡也很需要它，只是为了给家里省钱不舍得买，于是卖掉了他的一块极其珍贵的、只是少条表链的手表，买回了那套发卡??结局想必大家也都猜到了——很可惜，这是一场悲剧。最后，彼此认为最好的礼物却都失去了实际本该有的价值，但他们却都得到了人世间最宝贵的礼物——彼此的真爱。我认为他们是最幸福的，因为虽然他们很穷，生活拮据，但在他们心中，金钱并不重要，重要的是两人之间的真爱，只要拥有了它，他们就会感到比富翁还要富有上百倍。

故事里出现的那些有些夸张的偶然，让两位生活在困窘中的主人公捉襟见肘。而通过这个带着些悲剧色彩的故事，我们可以从另一个角度感受到欧亨利为我们传达的、从悲剧中透出的温暖——关于“礼物”的价值。

吉姆和麦琪，只是生活在社会底层的两个微不足道的小人物，却都拥有着对生活的热情和对对方深深的爱。在这些温暖的感情面前，贫困可以变得微不足道。在圣诞节前夕，捉襟见肘的两个人还想着要为对方买一件礼物相赠，这又是多么浪漫、多么温馨！即使这份礼物似乎已经失去了使用的价值，但它们却成了世间最珍贵的礼物——他们把一份真挚的爱赠给了对方。

也许，还是有人无法理解吉姆与麦琪的做法。但是，假如拥有万贯家财和拥有一份真挚的感情同时放在你的面前，你会选哪一样呢？我会毫不犹豫地选择那份真情，因为真挚的感情是无价之宝啊！我相信，吉姆与麦琪是世上最幸福的人；世上每个拥有真情与挚爱的人都是世上最幸福的人！

《麦琪的礼物》英文读后感

Impression of "The Gift of the Magi"

It's a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"is meant to be savored.【60】 It telled us a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England. I'm so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it to you,and to myself.But it is no necessity for that。【47】

Although the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isn't that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Its't absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they would't lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr. James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called 'Jim'and greatly hugged by Mrs. James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,they'd given the very best they had out of love.【159】

"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 in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?【76】

My parents have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.No matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My parents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.【69】

Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.It's consideration,to lerance and respect.It's giving one's best to the other even it means sacrifice.It's affection which connects two persons' hearts,and it's reinforced by adversities.【39】

Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della ，I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.
