010利波特与魔法石消失的玻璃

1、波特魔法英语【1-3 册】010波特与魔法石的玻璃（2）上集回顾：上一讲，我一起跟着一跃十年：Ten years hassed since the night Dumbledore hutHarry on the front step of Privet Number Four. 再见小，正值 Dudley 生日，让一起用英语回顾一下上集精华：As the sun crepto Dursleys living room, lighting up almost every corner, the room held no signat allrry livedhe house. He had t

2、o be waken up by Mrs. Dursleys shrill voice andrepeated rapon the door, put on his socks aftulling a ser off them, and look after thebacon without letting it burn. While his brother Dudley warrounded by luxuriouslrspresents which almost buried the table, Harry was only greeted with the coldness and

3、harshness.辛酸没有结束，本集接着看，镜头拉近，让好好端详一下，10 年后的男孩长得怎么样？是不是已经初显男神的颜值？Perhaps id something to do with living in a dark cupboard, burry had always been smalland skinny for his age. He looked even smaller and skinniern he really was because all he hadto wear were old clothes of Dudleys and Dudley was about f

4、our times biggern he was.这位男一号的硬伤。说 Perhaps it一眼望去，肯定是先看到“身高”。“矮”，真是had something to do with living in a dark cupboard 应该是跟常年住在的碗柜里有关系。我们都学过 basic science，长高需要 calcium supplements 补钙，而晒则是补钙最天然有效的方法 basking yourselforning sun is one of most enjoyable thingshe world I think! 哈利 grow in darkness，必然缺钙。1

5、很有趣的是，Harry Potter 的导演选的小演员也是真的矮。连着 7 部，眼其他小伙伴都蹭蹭得长个啊，而在身高上实现了“不想长大”！不光个子小，而且 small and skinny，“瘦小”！看到这个表达，第一反应有没有想起这种朗朗上口的修辞？Alliteration!第二个反应就是 Harry 真的瘦，因为 skinny 和 thin 不同，它直接了那种“皮包骨头”“骨瘦如柴”的感觉，像一些超级名模 Some superms are far too skinny.所以一看就是营养不良，比同龄人都瘦小很多，更别说跟 Dudley 这位油腻的小胖墩站一起了偏偏，他只能穿 Dudley 的

6、旧衣服 all he had to wear were old clothes of Dudleys ，然而这体型差异太大 and Dudley was about four times biggern he was 这里 about four timesbiggern 就像中文说的“大个三四倍”的样子。所以这衣服与其说是穿在身上，不如说是挂在身上，越发显得他 smaller and skinnier。看完身材，再看看脸吧。Harry had a thin face, knobbly knees, black hair and bright-green eyes. He wore round

7、glassesheld together wilot of Sellotbecause of all the times Dudley hunched him on the nose.脸庞消瘦thin face，身体更瘦，如果说thin body感觉很奇怪，所以直接抓住了瘦子身上的一个细节特点：膝盖骨都瘦地突出来了，knobbly（有节的，多疙瘩的）knees。不过他依然有一头乌黑的头发black hair和一双翠绿明亮的眼睛bright-green eyes。眼睛好看的人，能丑到哪里去呢？而且他当时还不知道，他的round glasses 圆框眼镜，在的世界里非常之时髦，凹造型必备，标配。回

8、想麦格教授的方框眼镜：Square glasses.就显得严肃很多。 但是这圆眼镜也跟着吃了不少苦头，你看它，held together wilot of Sellot，用很多的胶带黏在一起，勉强戴着。这是怎么搞得？还不是因为Dudley 总是把他当punch-bag，punch him all the times总是揍他，更可恶的是punch him on the nose!还要用拳头对着他鼻子打！可见Dudley是一个没有的熊孩子，连“不”都不知道！那自己觉得自己长得怎么样呢？是不是“全街gai最靓的仔zai”啊？2The only thing Harry liked about his

9、own appearance was a very thin scar on his forehead whichwas shd like a boltblt of lightning.对自己的外表最喜欢的就是额头上那道像闪电似的淡淡的疤痕a very thin（淡淡的）scar on his forehead 。男孩子嘛，总觉得“身上一旦带点疤，大哥气质蹭蹭爬”，疤痕scar着the scars on soldiers record the war. 你往往代表着“故事”。就像战士身上的疤痕心上的伤疤往往是一个人留下的He / She left a scar on your heart. 而

10、波特的这枚scar是伏地魔在杀他的时候留下的，形状别致like a bolt of （一道，一束）lightning（闪电），这scar的又究竟是怎样的一个夜晚呢？都不知道。自己也不知道。而特意强调这枚scar，其实不仅仅为了从前，也是为后面的故事做铺垫，待读到后文慢慢揭晓。姨夫和姨妈其实是知道story lying behind the scar, 因为当年邓多在的襁褓上留下了，解释了事情的原委。但是这对夫妻，了，拒魔法于千里之外，所以当问How he had got it, 姑妈是这样说的。he car crash when your parents died, she had said.

11、 Andt ask questions.t ask questions t was therule for a quiet life with the Dursleys.说了谎，说他父母死于car crash, crash这个词本意是“撞碎，摔毁”，所以他们跟car crash不是车之间的小擦小刮追尾，而是“车毁人亡”级别的事故。同理，air crash就是“坠机空难”。觉得这个说法挺可疑的，但是德思礼家规是t ask questions!想想看，是不是很多老师的t ask questions!毁掉了很多孩子的critical thinking性思考。是不是很多家长的t ask questio

12、ns!才加俱了孩子的叛逆。然而，这世上问不得？说不得的言语？对孩子，这话更不能说。When youl them “t askquestions”, youre actually saying “t think,t speak,t share,t challenge,texplore”. 可没这一切，不就是t live吗？可见，是语言的之中，this is alsoa kind of domestic.3这种语言接下来一直存在着，可见这十年一直如此。比如姨夫每次见到，从不会说“早啊，孩子”，而是：Combkm your hair! he barked, by way of a morning g

13、reeting. 说话基本靠吼，说的就是Uncle Vernon本人了，你看，文中用了bark，原意为“狗叫”。人若喊得像狗叫，你说咆哮不咆哮？Bark描述人说话，正是“咆哮”的意思。这就是他每天早晨跟Harry见面打招呼的方式By way of a morning greeting。姨夫打完招呼，姨妈就带着今日寿星Dudley来观赏自己的了。Dudley的长相，那是相当“饱满”，典型“家的傻儿子”。Dudley looked a lot like Uncle Vernon. He had a large, pink face, not much neck, small, wateryblue

14、 eyes and thick, blond hairt lay smoothly on his thick, fat head.这孩子，不会随，谁丑像谁，你看，look a lot like Uncle Vernon. So, 面如脸盆辣么大,而且带着营养过剩的“粉扑扑”。a largnk face，脖子跟一样，约等于没有not much neck。脸一大眼睛就格外显小，好在还水汪汪的small, watery blue eyes。因为吃得好头发长得金黄浓密thick, blond hair，而且小头竖得lay smoothly on his head头发是非常平滑得smoothly 躺在头

15、上，这叫一个顺！这头用了两个形容词，thick, fat厚+肥，我要不说是他，你觉不觉得是猪？反正是这么觉得的，Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.一头带了假发的猪！而且这头猪，十分骄纵！Harry put the plates of egg and bacon on the table, which was difficult as there wasnt much room.Dudley, meanwhile, was counting his presents. His face fell.这边煎了一早上熏肉的给他端上早饭，几乎都要找不到地儿放了，因为桌子

16、上都是他的啊there wasnt much room。room可不仅仅有房间的意思，也可以是“空间”，比如小猫的同事总让我办公桌摆盆花，我就会说，你瞅瞅 there wasnt much room on my desk to putthe vase。再比如，你问我“小猫，工作中除了payment，你觉得什么最重要”？我可能会说：room for career advancement 职业上升空间。不要让自己20几岁做的事儿和60几岁退休时所差无几。4的真的很多了，都没有room了！所以说，你看这位家的胖儿子可在一件一件数count the presents, 而且数着数着脸就拉下来了。形容人

17、脸色开始变得阴沉下来，脸色难看，比如小时候把自己考得不怎么样的卷子拿给父母签名的时候，父母接过去一看那分数的瞬间就跟此刻的Dudley一样一样的。His face fell. 没想到吧，就用fall这个简单词。fall动词表示落下，ones face fell. 脸落下来了，不就是脸沉下来嘛？同样，night fell.晚上掉下来了，不就是“夜幕降临”吗？拉着个驴脸的Dudley放话了！Thirty-six, he said, looking up at his mother and father. ts two lessn last year.这孩子，36件还嫌少？！根本没有考虑过这种从没上

18、过两位数的读者的感受！这样他爸妈也能忍？能！Darling, you havent counted Auntie Marges present,see, its here under this big one fromMummy and Daddy.你看这有骨气的，赶紧解释：哎呦宝宝，你少数了一件呀！诺，Auntie Marge那个呀，压在的大礼盒下面啦。, thirty-seven then, said Dudley, going redhe face. Harry, who could see a hugeDudley tantrum tntrm coming on, began wolf

19、ing down his bacon as fast assible incase Dudley turned the table over.但是多这一件能满足Dudley吗？明显不能够！这孩子，来了句, thirty-seven then满嘴不屑一顾得“好的吧”，脸上同时going red表面意思是“变红”，可不是那种奥，这里可以感觉到气得鼓鼓的样子，所以译成“涨得通红”更妙。眼看Dudley就要气炸了，Harry的反应真是让我很惊喜。首先写出了Harry对这种现场习以为常又格外灵敏的嗅觉，说Harry感觉到a huge Dudleytantrum tntrm coming on，tantrum 是指孩子突然无理的脾气发作，比的小孩子得不到心爱的玩具就突然魔性发作have/throw a tantrum when she canve the toys she wants,Dudley是得到37件都要发火的儿童。5看到他魔性上身，Harry开始“明哲”，他的策略是wolf down（狼吞虎咽得吃） his baconas fast assible，三下五除二塞肉进肚子，因为他知道下一秒Dudley就会turned the table over掀翻桌子。你有没有发现，Harry 的心态真是被生活锤炼出来了。已经学会在寄人篱下的日子里相时而动，尽力自保，同时又有一种冷眼旁观的超
