读《红酋长的赎金》有感 今天我读了美国著名作家欧·亨利写的文章《红酋长的赎金》。文章的大意是：我和朋友比尔来到一个地方，因为缺钱，所以想起了绑架的勾当。我们看上了一个有地位的人。我们把他的独生子绑架在一个山洞里，哪知道那孩子却喜欢这儿，而且把比尔整得不像样。一会儿要把比尔的头发给割掉，一会儿把比尔当马骑，一会儿给比尔吃沙子。他爸爸还要我们给他250元钱。比尔受不了，求我答应条件，我们只好这样。把他送回去，又付了钱，然后逃跑到很远很远的地方。 我特别喜欢文中这几句话：“天刚亮，比尔的一连串可怕的尖叫惊醒了我。那声音不像是男人发声器官里发出来的叫、嚷、呼、喊或者狂嗥，而是像女人见到鬼或者毛毛虫时发出的粗鄙、可怕而丢脸的尖叫。天蒙蒙亮的时候，听到一个粗壮结实的不法之徒在山洞里这样没命地叫个不停，真是件倒胃口的事。”还有“我跳起来看看究竟出了什么事，只见红酋长骑在比尔的胸口上,一手揪住比尔的头发,一手握住我们切熏肉的快刀。快乐地根据昨天晚上对比尔宣布的决定，起劲而认真地想剥比尔的头皮。……” 读了这篇文章之后，我觉得一个小孩子把两个绑架者玩得团团转，不但没有认为自已被绑架而害怕，反而觉得自已在一个快乐的天地里，还让“我们”给了他爸爸250元钱。这就是好有好报，恶有恶报的结局。我劝一些人千万不要干坏事，不然就像书中的两个人一样，没有好下场

STORYTELLER:
It looked like a good thing. But wait till I tell you. We were down south, in Alabama – Bill Driscoll and myself – when this kidnapping idea struck us. There was a town down there, as flat as a pancake, and called Summit. Bill and I had about six hundred dollars. We needed just two thousand dollars more for an illegal land deal in Illinois.

Just reading "The Ransom of Red Chief" , The story is very funny with black humor，like the Chinese saying “go for wool and come home shorn”. It makes me a movie named " Home Alone "。
刚读了红酋长的赎金这篇小说，故事非常有趣，富有黑色幽默。正如这个谚语“偷鸡不成蚀把米”。让我想起了一部电影“小鬼当家”。
The story described two poor men Bill and Sam need money. They kidnapped a son of the richest man in the Summit town. Unfortunately, they met a most naughty boy in the world, and then fell into the nightmare.
The end of story made people feel ironical. Since the naughty boy teased them and almost made Bill mad. At last, they can't bear the boy, and pay Ebenezer Dorset(the boy's father) two hundred and fifty dollars and get his son back.
故事讲述了两个穷困潦倒的人bill和sam 缺钱，从而绑架 顶峰镇首富的儿子, 不幸的是，他们遇到了世界上最调皮的男孩, 从此然后陷入噩梦。
故事的结尾让人啼笑皆非。因为这个调皮的孩子戏弄他们, 几乎让比尔发疯。最后, 他们不能忍受了，并支付EBENEZER DORSET（男孩父亲） 250 美元 , 并送回他的儿子。
