The Gift of the Magi
中文：
从前，在一个寒冷的冬夜，有两个人——杰姆和戴尔，他们相爱着。杰姆是一个年轻的记者，戴尔是一个美丽的长发姑娘。尽管他们的收入不多，但他们总是尽力让对方过上好日子。
一天，圣诞节即将来临，杰姆和戴尔都想要给对方一个特别的礼物。杰姆决定卖掉他最珍贵的东西——他的金表，以换取足够的钱为戴尔买一条金色的发带。而戴尔则决定卖掉她最心爱的长发，以便买一把纯银的梳子，那是杰姆父亲送给她的，象征着他们的爱情。
圣诞节那天，他们互相交换了礼物。杰姆拿着一个包装精美的盒子，里面是戴尔的长发，而戴尔则拿着一个盒子，里面是一把银梳子。当他们打开礼物时，都惊讶地发现对方为了给自己买礼物而牺牲了这么珍贵的东西。
杰姆的眼泪涌了出来，因为他意识到，戴尔为了他放弃了她的长发，而他自己也失去了戴尔珍贵的礼物——她的金发。
English:
Once upon a time, on a cold winter’s night, there were two people—Jim and Della, who loved each other. Jim was a young journalist, and Della was a beautiful girl with long hair. Though their income was not much, they always tried to make each other’s lives better.
One day, Christmas was approaching, and Jim and Della both wanted to give each other a special gift. Jim decided to sell his most precious possession—a gold watch—to get enough money to buy Della a golden hair ribbon. And Della decided to sell her most cherished long hair to buy a solid silver comb, which was given to her by Jim’s father, symbolizing their love.
On Christmas day, they exchanged their gifts. Jim held a beautifully wrapped box, inside which was Della’s long hair, while Della held a box, inside which was a silver comb. When they opened their gifts, they were both surprised to find that they had given up something precious for each other’s sake.
Jim’s tears flowed as he realized that Della had given up her long hair for him, and he had lost Della’s precious gift—their golden hair.
这个故事的结局充满了爱和牺牲，同时也提醒我们，真正的礼物不在于物质的价值，而在于给予和接受时的情感。
