麦琪的礼物读后感英文

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.

maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.but i'm

so fascinated with the short story that i want to retell it yo you,and to myself.

it happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named jim and della in the end of 18th century in england.because of the maladies of that society and the effect of  economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.life is very hard for them.despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didn't changed at all.when chrismas day was approuching ,della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give jim a fob for his grandfather's pocket watch.but jim had already sold that watch to buy della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing she'd cut it off.

it appears that 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.

"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?

i remind my grandparents.they 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.they have gone through war period,three years' natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.but 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 grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.

love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.it's consideration,tolerance 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.

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 and from my grandparents,i have learned a lot about love,life and hope.

麦琪的礼物读后感英语

the gift of the magi is a short story wrote by o.henry.this story tells that in the day before christmas,a poor young couple exchanged gifts by sold the most precious thing of each,but resulted ordetracted, the two precious gifts all became useless things.while they got the most precious thing than any material objects——love.

after read this story,i learned how to respect others’ love and how to love others.in this story,they all lost the most valuable things——jim’s golden watch and della’s beautiful hair. behind this, i saw they loved each other infinitely.they loved their family, they let me feel that cold christmas eve has become the warm heaven just because of their gifts. if della only took one dollar and eighty-seven cents to pick gift,this story will probably lacking of shocking, and also cannot cause readers’ thinking.

in this materialistic society, people often use money to measure gifts.when bags of gifts which are packaging delicately in front of us,what can we see except empty and blank? parents feel happy because of our simple greeting cards in their birthday,because of a few words of blessing.these gifts,simple but true.it can’t be compared with those which built with a lot of money, outlined by luxuriance. what clever gifts! in some sense, they are invaluable.

yes,in this materialistic society,some people think money is everything,the one who owns money,who owns all.no wonder a great amount of girls became mammonists,and want to marry richers;no wonder more and more men think that there is no true love,what girls love is their money. but i always believe sincere love is existed and it’s priceless. even if you have millions of money, you can’t change it into true love. maybe money can let you get some feelings from girls, but those are hypocritical. when you no longer possess vast wealth, the hypocritical feelings will ended and left you extremely painful finally.jim and della were a happy couple, although they were poor, living in short of money.in their hearts, money is not important, the important thing is the affection from each other.as long as they have it, they felt happier than any millionaire.

maybe some people will pour scorn on it and cannot understand what their done. if there is a good fortune and a sincere feeling in front of you at the same time, which one will you choose? i wouldn't hesitate to choose the later, because sincere feeling is priceless! i believe that true pay will have sincere return finally, and the one who have true love can have his or her happiness.

nowadays,more and more people have been pressed to lose their breath by the reality.they forgot the persons they love,and the persons who love them.we need to care about others,no matter how much money we have.what our loved one need is how our concern about him or her. in some important days,don’t forget to bring him or her some gifts.no matter what is it,how valuable is it,he or she would like it anyway.

because it is the gift of the magi.

《麦琪的礼物》读后感

假期我读了欧·亨()利写的短篇小说《麦琪的礼物》深有感触，下面我就说一说。

本文主要写了，妻子为了给丈夫买一条白金表链，买掉了自己引以为豪的秀发。可是丈夫也出于相同的目的，卖掉了自己引以为豪的东西——祖传金表，给妻子买了一套发梳。尽管彼此的礼物都失去了使用的价值，但他们从中获得比情感更重要的东西——爱，却是无价的。他们可以牺牲自己的东西，为的不就是给对方买来最好的礼物。可他们都没想到，对方也都是为了买礼物，卖掉了自己贵重的物品，那么对方的礼物都已经不适合自己了。而他们做这些事的时候，也都是为了对方着想，根本没有考虑自己。也就是因为他们都爱着对方，才会有这样的结局。

我读完这篇文章后，()才明白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。

o.henry is said to be the most gifted and famous american short-story novelist in the world.as one of his major works,the gift of the magi tells us a story about a couple in the low social class.with the coming of christmas，both of them want to give the other a gift.as a result,the young wife,della,sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum fob chain to descorate the watch of her husband,jim.while at the same time,jim sacrifice his most valuable golden watch to buy his wife a jewelled comb.

to be honest,we have to say that it is an unfortunate accident.both of them sacrifice their most treasured things for the other.but when things turn out,it seems that what they have done is meaningless.however,in the other way,although they don’t receive the gift they need,they receive the love from the other.and no matter what will happen in the future,they will remember that the most valuable is neither the long beautiful hair nor the golden watch,but the people who live with us.”love is the best gift.”that is what the writer wants to tell us.
