THE LAST LEAF

In November, a cold, unseen stranger⑦， whom the doctors called Pneumonia[2]，arrived in⑧ Greenwich Village.Mr Pneumonia placed⑨ his icy⑩ finger on Johnsy；and she lay，barely moving，in her bed staring at a blank wall under her blanket[3].
[2]whom引导定语从句，修饰先行词stranger。

The doctor took Sue aside and claimed ，“She has one chance in—let us say，ten.And that chance is for her to want to live.Try to encourage her to think more hopeful thoughts ， about the future，about living.”
Sue took some paper and a pen into Johnsy's room and began a pen drawing，in an attempt to raise Johnsy's spirits.Johnsy's eyes were open，but they weren't watching her.Instead，she stared out the window and counted backwards ： “Ten，nine，eight，seven ...”
“What are you counting，dear？” asked Sue.“They're falling faster now，” replied Johnsy.“Three days ago there were almost a hundred.But now it's easy.There are only five left now.Five leaves on the ivy vine .When the last one falls，I must go，too.Didn't the doctor tell you？”
“Oh，I never heard of such nonsense ，” quickly replied Sue.But Johnsy's mind was made up .“I want to see the last one fall.I'm tired of waiting.I want to go sailing down，down，just like one of those poor，tired leaves.”
“Try to sleep，” said Sue.Then she went to fetch her neighbor，Mr Behrman，to be a model for her drawing[4].He was a failed painter .In 40 years he had never produced the masterpiece he longed to paint .Sue told him about Johnsy's longing to slip away like the leaves.Behrman cried with disbelief .“Are there people in the world that foolish to think they'll die because leaves drop off from a vine This is not a place in which Miss Johnsy shall lie sick.Someday I will paint a masterpiece，and we shall all go away.”
[4]to be...是不定式短语作目的状语。
Behrman and Sue looked out the window at the vine and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf .What's more，a cold rain was falling，mixed with snow[5].
[5]过去分词短语作伴随状语，说明a cold rain降落时的情况。
The next morning，Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened.One leaf remained on the vine，bravely holding on in the wind and rain.“It will fall today.And I will die with it.”
The following day ， Johnsy asked again for the curtains to be opened.The leaf was still there!
Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it.“I've been a bad girl，Sue，” said Johnsy.“It is a crime to want to die.” Then she asked for some food.
In the afternoon，the doctor visited，“Even chances，” said the doctor，“with good nursing，you'll win.And now I must see a fellow downstairs ， Behrman.Pneumonia，too.There is no hope for him.”
The next day，Sue came to Johnsy's bed.“I have something to tell you[6]，” she said.“Mr Behrman died today.He was ill for only two days.The janitor found him lying in bed helplessly with pain yesterday morning.His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold.They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a terrible night.And then they found a lantern ， still lit，and some brushes，and—look out the window，dear，at the last ivy leaf on the wall.Didn't you wonder why it never moved an inch when the wind blew Ah，dear，it's Behrman's masterpiece—he painted it there the night when the last leaf fell.”

最后一片叶子
格林威治村是艺术人士聚集的地方，他们在那里寻找窗户朝北(阴面)且租金低的公寓。苏和约翰西的画室就在一座三层楼的顶楼。
十一月的时候，一个冷酷无情、肉眼看不见、医生称之为“肺炎”的不速之客，来到了格林威治村。“肺炎先生”把他冰冷的手指放在约翰西身上，于是她躺在床上，几乎不动，盖着毯子，眼睛盯着一堵空墙。
医生把苏拉到一边，说：“她的病只有，这么说吧，只有一成的希望，并且这一成希望在于她自己想不想活下去。试着鼓励她多想想有希望的事情、想想未来、想想活下去。”
苏拿了几张纸和一支钢笔来到约翰西的房间，开始画钢笔画，试着让约翰西打起精神。约翰西的眼睛是睁着的，但并没有看苏。相反，她凝视着窗外，倒数着：“十，九，八，七……”
“你在数什么啊，亲爱的？”苏问道。“它们现在掉得更快了，三天前差不多还有一百来片。现在数起来容易了，只剩下五片了。常春藤上有五片叶子。当最后一片掉下来的时候，我也要离开人世了，难道医生没有告诉过你吗？”约翰西回答道。
苏立即答道：“我从未听说过这么荒谬的话。”但是约翰西决心已定。“我想看着最后一片叶子掉下来，我已经等腻了。我想随风而逝，就像一片可怜的、疲倦的藤叶一样。”
“试着睡一会儿吧。”苏说道。然后她去叫邻居伯曼先生来做她的绘画模特。伯曼先生是个失败的画家。40年来，他从未创作出他所渴望的杰作。苏告诉他约翰西想要像树叶一样逝去。伯曼不可置信地喊道：“世界上竟有这么愚笨的人，认为藤叶掉光他就会死？约翰西小姐实在不应该躺在这里生病。总有一天我要画一幅杰作，然后我们就可以离开这里。”
伯曼和苏望着窗外的藤蔓，发现藤枝上只剩下最后一片叶子了。更糟糕的是，外面下起冰冷的雨来，雨夹着雪。
第二天早上，约翰西醒来，让人打开窗帘。藤枝上还留着一片叶子，在风雨中勇敢地坚持着。“它今天会掉下来的，我也会和它一同死去。”
又过了一天，约翰西又让人打开窗帘。叶子还在那儿！
约翰西躺着看了它很久，说：“我真是一个坏姑娘，苏。不想活下去是一种罪恶。”然后她要了些吃的。
下午，医生来了，“康复的希望有五成了，只要好好护理，你会胜利的。现在我得去楼下看另一个病人，伯曼先生，也是肺炎。他没有希望了。”
再过了一天，苏来到约翰西的床前。“我有些话要告诉你。”她说，“伯曼先生今天去世了。他生病只有两天时间。昨天早晨，看门人发现他无助地躺在床上，极度痛苦。他的鞋和衣服都湿透了，冰凉冰凉的。他们想不出，在那凄风冷雨的夜里，他究竟是到什么地方去了。后来，他们找到了一盏还亮着的灯笼，还有几支画刷——亲爱的，看看窗外，墙上最后的那片叶子。你不觉得奇怪吗，为什么那片叶子在风中一动不动呢？啊，亲爱的，因为那是伯曼的杰作——那天晚上最后的一片叶子掉落时，他画上去的。”
