One dollar and eight-seven cents is all the money Della has in the world to buy her beloved husband a Christmas present. She has nothing to sell except her only treasure -- her long, beautiful brown hair.

原著挺简单易懂的，翻译版是不是太冗杂了，还是说我看的是删减版？（不是标记的这版）反正看着简练的文字就很符合这样简单的爱情，爱没那么复杂，就是麦琪的礼物。

原著用语还挺叨逼的，并不是之前错误以为的简洁风。
