只愿一生无悔付出
O.Henry（1862～1910），是美国20世纪初颇受读者欢迎的短篇小说家。他原名William Sydney Porter，出生于美国北卡罗来纳州。30多岁开始写短篇小说。一生共创作了约300篇短篇小说，显示出他非同凡响的艺术才华。
O.Henry擅长编造故事情节。他的故事结构紧凑，语言精练，结局往往出人意表，对现代短篇小说影响较大。在他的小说中，写得最好的是关于纽约的那些，他把纽约曼哈顿区一带的街道、小饭馆、破旧的公寓的气氛描写得既生动又逼真，故有“曼哈顿的桂冠诗人”之称。
内容简介：
《The Last Leaf》（最后一片叶子）是O.Henry较有代表性的作品，突出反映了他的写作风格和特点。
年轻贫穷的画家Johnsy不幸染上肺炎，女友Sue竭尽全力照料她，但她的病情仍不见好转。万念俱灰的Johnsy放弃了生存的欲望，准备在窗外对面墙上常春藤的最后一片叶子凋落坠地时，撒手人寰。另一位一生未画出重大作品的老画家Behrman为了救她，连夜冒雨爬上墙头画了一片藤叶，他自己因而染上肺炎，两天后去世。老画家所画的最后一片叶子，成了他的毕生杰作。
原文最后段落赏析：
"I have something to tell you," she said, "Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia today in the hospital. He was ill only two days. The janitor found him on the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpness with pain. His shoes and clothes were soaking wet and ice cold. They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a dreadful night. And then they found a lantern, still lighted, and a ladder that had been dragged from its place, and some scattered brushes, and a palette with green and yellow colors mixed on it, and——look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn't you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it's Behrman's masterpiece——he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell."
评论：
The last leaf is symbol of the leaf of life. It is the most treasured gift from an old artist!
The story described a young couple of good friends. It's Johnsy and Sue. After a period of happy time, Johnsy encounted the Mr. Pneumonia in a cold night in November. One day afternoon, she was desperatly looking out of the window and was counting the leaves on the ivy tree. She firmly convinced that she would leave the world after the last leaf fell. She hadn't any passion for the furture life! Hadn't none other better ways, Sue had to ask the help of the Mr. Behrman. And old poor artist who lived on the ground floor beneath them!
He was a failure in art. he has been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never begun it. Af firstly, he was very scornful about this frustrated girl who was giving up her life after hearing of the last leaf story from Sue. Actually, in this old man's feeling inside, he earnestly wanted to save this poor and young girl. He panited the last vivid and lovely leaf throughout a dreadful night. Finally, this materpiece has been completed, and Johnsy kindled the life fire again. However, Mr. Behame died of the Pneumonia.
The story ended here, but, the sincere friendship would never stop forever! It is penetrating in every sentence of this essay, and it is also hovering in the reader's heart! Let us respect this best art-man! Meanwhile, I also associate him with my parents. They breed us and cultivate us! They have given us their best presents! We shall do all of our efferots to return the contributions to them!
《最后一片叶子》读后感
“等到最后一片叶子掉下去，我也该去了！” “因为我想看最后一片叶子掉下去，我等得不耐烦了，也想得不耐烦了，我想摆脱一切，飘下去，飘下去，像一片可怜的疲倦叶子那样！”这是美国作家欧*享利《最后一片叶子》的一个凄凉画面。主人公是琼西、苏、贝尔曼。它描写患肺炎的穷学生琼西看着窗外对面墙上的常春藤叶子不断被风吹落，她说，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，在听完苏讲述完室友琼西的故事后，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。
《最后一片叶子》充满了感伤气氛，读了它,泪水模糊了我的眼睛。细细地回味一下，我发觉其实不是藤叶的数量决定琼西的生命，而是她的心理决定着她的生命。她原本消极的心理让医生也对她没有信心，当她把自己消极的心情改为积极的心态后，医生和苏都对她抱有了生的希望。果然心态决定了她的生命，她活了下来。原来，心情的不同可以改变一切，相信在生命中如此，在别的方面也是这样。面对困难，只要我们正视困难，满怀希望，就可战胜困难。就好比弹簧，你强它就弱，你弱它就强。健康成长，从心开始，小学生时期正处于人的行为、性格和智力迅速发展的关键时期，在这一阶段，由于身心变化比较快，加之文化知识和社会经验不足，小学生很容易产生不健康的心里，导致心理问题和心理疾病。在这一时期，我们要在开展赏识教育的同时还应对学生进行挫折教育，引导学生正视眼前的困难，教育他们学会在摔倒之后如何站起来，如何在摔倒中吸取教训，汲取力量，使摔倒的地方成为重新站起和前进的起点。这样，摔倒越多，吸取的力量也就越多，就像小溪东流，越流越宽广，最后成为大海。通过增强学生的抗压能力，使自己心理上逐渐强健起来，心中萌生希望之嫩芽，有希望之处，生命就生生不息！
心若在，梦就在！人生如梦亦如歌!
