《麦琪的礼物》讲述的是一个圣诞节里发生在社会下层的小家庭中的故事。男主人公吉姆是一位薪金仅够维持生活的小职员,女主人公德拉是一位贤惠善良的主妇。他们的生活贫穷,但吉姆和德拉各自拥有一样极珍贵的宝物。吉姆有祖传的一块金表,德拉有一头美丽的瀑布般的秀发。为了能在圣诞节送给对方一件礼物,吉姆卖掉了他的金表为德拉买了一套“纯玳瑁做的,边上镶着珠宝”的梳子;德拉卖掉了自己的长发为吉姆买了一条白金表链。他们都为对方舍弃了自己最宝贵的东西,而换来的礼物却因此变得毫无作用了。

此时此刻,德拉的秀发泼撒在她的周围,微波起伏,闪耀光芒,有如那褐色的瀑布。她的美发长及膝下,仿佛是她的一件长袍。接着,她又神经质地赶紧把头发梳好。踌躇了一分钟,一动不动地立在那儿,破旧的红地毯上溅落了一两滴眼泪。

So now Della’s beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet.

她穿上那件褐色的旧外衣,戴上褐色的旧帽子,眼睛里残留着晶莹的泪花,裙子一摆,便飘出房门,下楼来到街上。

On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street.

她走到一块招牌前停下来,上写着:“索弗罗妮夫人——专营各式头

Where she stopped the sign read: "Mne. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds." One flight up Della ran, and collected herself, panting. Madame, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the "Sofronie."

Down rippled the brown cascade.

"Twenty dollars," said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand.

“二十美元,"夫人一边说,一边内行似地抓起头发。

"Give it to me quick," said Della.
