The Gift of the Magi
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing
the grocer
and the vegetable man and the butcher
until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation
of parsimony
that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
There was clearly nothing left to do but flop
down on the shabby
little couch
and howl
. So Della did it. Which instigates
the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs
, sniffles
, and smiles, with sniffles predominating

除了倒在破旧的小沙发上鬼哭狼嚎以外，别无选择了。可想而知，黛拉也只能这样了。她不禁感慨：人生是由哭泣、抽噎和微笑构成的，而大部分时间花在了抽噎上。
