THE LAST LEAF
Greenwich Village is a place where the art people came together, hunting for① apartments with north-facing② windows and low rents③.[1]At the top of④ a three-story building⑤， Sue and Johnsy had their studio⑥.
[1]where引導定語從句，修飾先行詞place，相當于in which。
In November, a cold, unseen stranger⑦， whom the doctors called Pneumonia[2]，arrived in⑧ Greenwich Village.Mr Pneumonia placed⑨ his icy⑩ finger on Johnsy；and she lay，barely moving，in her bed staring at a blank wall under her blanket[3].
[2]whom引導定語從句，修飾先行詞stranger。
[3]staring...為現在分詞短語作狀語，表示伴隨。
The doctor took Sue aside and claimed ，“She has one chance in—let us say，ten.And that chance is for her to want to live.Try to encourage her to think more hopeful thoughts ， about the future，about living.”
Sue took some paper and a pen into Johnsy's room and began a pen drawing，in an attempt to raise Johnsy's spirits.Johnsy's eyes were open，but they weren't watching her.Instead，she stared out the window and counted backwards ： “Ten，nine，eight，seven ...”
“What are you counting，dear？” asked Sue.“They're falling faster now，” replied Johnsy.“Three days ago there were almost a hundred.But now it's easy.There are only five left now.Five leaves on the ivy vine .When the last one falls，I must go，too.Didn't the doctor tell you？”
“Oh，I never heard of such nonsense ，” quickly replied Sue.But Johnsy's mind was made up .“I want to see the last one fall.I'm tired of waiting.I want to go sailing down，down，just like one of those poor，tired leaves.”
“Try to sleep，” said Sue.Then she went to fetch her neighbor，Mr Behrman，to be a model for her drawing[4].He was a failed painter .In 40 years he had never produced the masterpiece he longed to paint .Sue told him about Johnsy's longing to slip away like the leaves.Behrman cried with disbelief .“Are there people in the world that foolish to think they'll die because leaves drop off from a vine This is not a place in which Miss Johnsy shall lie sick.Someday I will paint a masterpiece，and we shall all go away.”
[4]to be...是不定式短語作目的狀語。
Behrman and Sue looked out the window at the vine and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf .What's more，a cold rain was falling，mixed with snow[5].
[5]過去分詞短語作伴隨狀語，說明a cold rain降落時的情況。
The next morning，Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened.One leaf remained on the vine，bravely holding on in the wind and rain.“It will fall today.And I will die with it.”
The following day ， Johnsy asked again for the curtains to be opened.The leaf was still there!
Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it.“I've been a bad girl，Sue，” said Johnsy.“It is a crime to want to die.” Then she asked for some food.
In the afternoon，the doctor visited，“Even chances，” said the doctor，“with good nursing，you'll win.And now I must see a fellow downstairs ， Behrman.Pneumonia，too.There is no hope for him.”
The next day，Sue came to Johnsy's bed.“I have something to tell you[6]，” she said.“Mr Behrman died today.He was ill for only two days.The janitor found him lying in bed helplessly with pain yesterday morning.His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold.They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a terrible night.And then they found a lantern ， still lit，and some brushes，and—look out the window，dear，at the last ivy leaf on the wall.Didn't you wonder why it never moved an inch when the wind blew Ah，dear，it's Behrman's masterpiece—he painted it there the night when the last leaf fell.”
[6]不定式短語作后置定語，修飾something。
最后一片葉子
格林威治村是藝術人士聚集的地方，他們在那里尋找窗戶朝北(陰面)且租金低的公寓。蘇和約翰西的畫室就在一座三層樓的頂樓。
十一月的時候，一個冷酷無情、肉眼看不見、醫生稱之為“肺炎”的不速之客，來到了格林威治村。“肺炎先生”把他冰冷的手指放在約翰西身上，于是她躺在床上，幾乎不動，蓋著毯子，眼睛盯著一堵空墻。
醫生把蘇拉到一邊，說：“她的病只有，這么說吧，只有一成的希望，并且這一成希望在于她自己想不想活下去。試著鼓勵她多想想有希望的事情、想想未來、想想活下去。”
蘇拿了幾張紙和一支鋼筆來到約翰西的房間，開始畫鋼筆畫，試著讓約翰西打起精神。約翰西的眼睛是睜著的，但并沒有看蘇。相反，她凝視著窗外，倒數著：“十，九，八，七……”
“你在數什么啊，親愛的？”蘇問道。“它們現在掉得更快了，三天前差不多還有一百來片。現在數起來容易了，只剩下五片了。常春藤上有五片葉子。當最后一片掉下來的時候，我也要離開人世了，難道醫生沒有告訴過你嗎？”約翰西回答道。
蘇立即答道：“我從未聽說過這么荒謬的話。”但是約翰西決心已定。“我想看著最后一片葉子掉下來，我已經等膩了。我想隨風而逝，就像一片可憐的、疲倦的藤葉一樣。”
“試著睡一會兒吧。”蘇說道。然后她去叫鄰居伯曼先生來做她的繪畫模特。伯曼先生是個失敗的畫家。40年來，他從未創作出他所渴望的杰作。蘇告訴他約翰西想要像樹葉一樣逝去。伯曼不可置信地喊道：“世界上竟有這么愚笨的人，認為藤葉掉光他就會死？約翰西小姐實在不應該躺在這里生病。總有一天我要畫一幅杰作，然后我們就可以離開這里。”
伯曼和蘇望著窗外的藤蔓，發現藤枝上只剩下最后一片葉子了。更糟糕的是，外面下起冰冷的雨來，雨夾著雪。
第二天早上，約翰西醒來，讓人打開窗簾。藤枝上還留著一片葉子，在風雨中勇敢地堅持著。“它今天會掉下來的，我也會和它一同死去。”
又過了一天，約翰西又讓人打開窗簾。葉子還在那兒！
約翰西躺著看了它很久，說：“我真是一個壞姑娘，蘇。不想活下去是一種罪惡。”然后她要了些吃的。
下午，醫生來了，“康復的希望有五成了，只要好好護理，你會勝利的。現在我得去樓下看另一個病人，伯曼先生，也是肺炎。他沒有希望了。”
再過了一天，蘇來到約翰西的床前。“我有些話要告訴你。”她說，“伯曼先生今天去世了。他生病只有兩天時間。昨天早晨，看門人發現他無助地躺在床上，極度痛苦。他的鞋和衣服都濕透了，冰涼冰涼的。他們想不出，在那凄風冷雨的夜里，他究竟是到什么地方去了。后來，他們找到了一盞還亮著的燈籠，還有幾支畫刷——親愛的，看看窗外，墻上最后的那片葉子。你不覺得奇怪嗎，為什么那片葉子在風中一動不動呢？啊，親愛的，因為那是伯曼的杰作——那天晚上最后的一片葉子掉落時，他畫上去的。”

最后一片葉子
格林威治村是藝術人士聚集的地方，他們在那里尋找窗戶朝北(陰面)且租金低的公寓。蘇和約翰西的畫室就在一座三層樓的頂樓。
十一月的時候，一個冷酷無情、肉眼看不見、醫生稱之為“肺炎”的不速之客，來到了格林威治村。“肺炎先生”把他冰冷的手指放在約翰西身上，于是她躺在床上，幾乎不動，蓋著毯子，眼睛盯著一堵空墻。
醫生把蘇拉到一邊，說：“她的病只有，這么說吧，只有一成的希望，并且這一成希望在于她自己想不想活下去。試著鼓勵她多想想有希望的事情、想想未來、想想活下去。”
蘇拿了幾張紙和一支鋼筆來到約翰西的房間，開始畫鋼筆畫，試著讓約翰西打起精神。約翰西的眼睛是睜著的，但并沒有看蘇。相反，她凝視著窗外，倒數著：“十，九，八，七……”
“你在數什么啊，親愛的？”蘇問道。“它們現在掉得更快了，三天前差不多還有一百來片。現在數起來容易了，只剩下五片了。常春藤上有五片葉子。當最后一片掉下來的時候，我也要離開人世了，難道醫生沒有告訴過你嗎？”約翰西回答道。
蘇立即答道：“我從未聽說過這么荒謬的話。”但是約翰西決心已定。“我想看著最后一片葉子掉下來，我已經等膩了。我想隨風而逝，就像一片可憐的、疲倦的藤葉一樣。”
“試著睡一會兒吧。”蘇說道。然后她去叫鄰居伯曼先生來做她的繪畫模特。伯曼先生是個失敗的畫家。40年來，他從未創作出他所渴望的杰作。蘇告訴他約翰西想要像樹葉一樣逝去。伯曼不可置信地喊道：“世界上竟有這么愚笨的人，認為藤葉掉光他就會死？約翰西小姐實在不應該躺在這里生病。總有一天我要畫一幅杰作，然后我們就可以離開這里。”
伯曼和蘇望著窗外的藤蔓，發現藤枝上只剩下最后一片葉子了。更糟糕的是，外面下起冰冷的雨來，雨夾著雪。
第二天早上，約翰西醒來，讓人打開窗簾。藤枝上還留著一片葉子，在風雨中勇敢地堅持著。“它今天會掉下來的，我也會和它一同死去。”
又過了一天，約翰西又讓人打開窗簾。葉子還在那兒！
約翰西躺著看了它很久，說：“我真是一個壞姑娘，蘇。不想活下去是一種罪惡。”然后她要了些吃的。
下午，醫生來了，“康復的希望有五成了，只要好好護理，你會勝利的。現在我得去樓下看另一個病人，伯曼先生，也是肺炎。他沒有希望了。”
再過了一天，蘇來到約翰西的床前。“我有些話要告訴你。”她說，“伯曼先生今天去世了。他生病只有兩天時間。昨天早晨，看門人發現他無助地躺在床上，極度痛苦。他的鞋和衣服都濕透了，冰涼冰涼的。他們想不出，在那凄風冷雨的夜里，他究竟是到什么地方去了。后來，他們找到了一盞還亮著的燈籠，還有幾支畫刷——親愛的，看看窗外，墻上最后的那片葉子。你不覺得奇怪嗎，為什么那片葉子在風中一動不動呢？啊，親愛的，因為那是伯曼的杰作——那天晚上最后的一片葉子掉落時，他畫上去的。”
