The gifts
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. She could not afford a present, so she sat down and cried.
Jim and Della had two possessions which they were both proud of(定语从句). One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather(定语从句). The other was Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee.
Della put on her old brown jacket and her old brown hat. Then she went out of the door and down the stairs to the street.
She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read “Hair Goods”.
“Will you buy my hair ” asked Della.
“Twenty dollars,” the woman said.
Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim.
She found it at last. It was a watch chain. The bill was twenty-one dollars.
At seven o’clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready.
Jim was never late. Della heard his steps on the stairs.
The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that could not read(定语从句).
“Jim,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present.”
Jim drew a box from his pocket and put it on the table.
Della opened it. There lay the set of combs that she had always wanted(定语从句). Now they were hers, but her hair was gone.
She smiled and held out Jim’s present. “I hunted all over town to find it. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it(宾语从句).”
Instead of obeying, Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled.
“Della,” he said, “I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs.”

The last leaf
At the top of a house Sue and Johnsy had their studio.
In November, Johnsy became very ill, and was lying on her bed and looking through the window at the wall of the next house.
“Her only chance,” the doctor said, “is for her to want to live.”
After the doctor had gone(时间状语从句), Sue came into Johnsy's room. Johnsy was looking out of the window and counting.
“Six,” said Johnsy. “There goes another one, there are only five left now.”
“Five what, dear ”
“Leaves. On the ivy vine. I want to see the last one fall. Then I'll die.”
“Johnsy, dear,” said Sue, “try to sleep. I must to and ask Behrman to be my model.”
Old Behrman was a painter. He was past 60 and earned a little money by being a model. Sue found Behrman and told him what Johnsy had said(宾语从句).
Johnsy was sleeping when they went upstairs(时间状语从句). They looked out of the window at the ivy vine. A cold rain was falling.
The next morning, there stood one ivy leaf.
“It's the last one,” said Johnsy. “It'll fall today, and I'll die.”
At night, the wind began to blow. The next morning, the leaf was still there.
“Something has made that last leaf stay there. It's wrong to want to die,” said Johnsy to Sue. “Please bring me a little soup now.”
A few days later, the doctor said to Sue, “She's out of danger.”
That afternoon, Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay(定语从句).
“Mr. Behrman died today,” she said. “He was wet and icy cold from being out all night.
Do you know why the leaf never moved(宾语从句) Behrman painted it on the wall the night that the last leaf fell(定语从句).”

最后一片叶子
在一所房子的顶部,Sue 和 Johnsy 拥有他们自己的画室。
十一月,Johnsy 病得很严重,她躺在床上,透过窗户,望着下一幢房子的墙。
“她唯一的机会,”医生说,“是她想要活下去。”
医生走后,Sue 走进 Johnsy 的房间。Johnsy 正望着窗外计数。
“6,”Johnsy 说。 “那又掉了一片,只剩 5 片了”。
“5 片什么呀,亲爱的?”
“叶子,长春藤上的。我想看看最后一片落下,然后我就要死了。”
“Johnsy,亲爱的,”Sue 说,“试着睡一下吧,我必须去找 Behrman 做我的模特。”
老 Behrman 是一个画家。他已 60 多岁了,以做模特赚点小钱为生。Sue 找到 Behrman 并告诉他 Johnsy 说的话。
他们上楼时,Johnsy 正睡着觉。他们看着窗外那棵长春藤。一场冷雨正在下着。
第二天早上,还剩一片叶子。
“这是最后一片了,”Johnsy 说。 “今天就会落下,我就会死了。”
到了晚上,风开始吹。第二天早上,叶子仍然还在。
“是有什么力量让那最后一片叶子留在那里的,警示我想死的念头是错误的,”Johnsy 对Sue 说,“现在请给我一点汤。”
几天后,医生对 Sue 说:“她已脱离了生命危险。”
这天下午,Sue 来到 Johnsy 躺的床前。
“Behrman 先生今天去世了,”她说,“他出去了一整个晚上,浑身淋透了,冰冷冰冷的。
你知道为什么那片叶子从没动过吗?最后一片叶子掉下那晚,Behrman 把它画到墙上了。”翻译:
