海岛来访者
H: Make a wish, Harry.
V: Who's there? 什么人?
Hag: Sorry 'bout that.
V: I demand that you leave at once. You are breaking and entering.
Hag: Dry up (少罗嗦) Dursley you great prune (笨蛋). Well, I haven't seen you since you was a baby Harry. But you're a bit more along then I would have expected; particularly around the middle.
Dud: I'm not... I'm not Harry.
H: I am.
Hag: Well of course you are! Got something for you. Afraid I might have sat on it at some point but I imagine it'll taste fine just the same. Baked it myself, words and all. 这全都是我自己做的。
H: Thank you!
Hag: It's not everyday your young man turns 11 now it is?
人一辈子就那么一次,你现在就11岁了。
H: Excuse me, but who are you?
Hag: Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Of course you know all about Hogwarts
H: Sorry, no.
Hag: No? Blimey [‘blaimi](啊呀)Harry didn't you ever wonder how your mum and dad learned it all?
没有?嗯,哈里,你没想过你爸爸妈妈是怎么学会的?
H: Learned what?
Hag: You're a wizard Harry.
H: I'm a what?
Hag: A wizard. And a thumping极其good one I'd wager 打赌once you've trained up a bit.
一个巫师。只要再受点训练,你一定会成为一个非常厉害的巫师。
H: No, you've made a mistake. I mean I can't be a wizard... I mean I'm just Harry, Just Harry.
Hag: Well, "Just Harry" did you ever make anything happen? Anything you couldn't explain, when you were angry or scared? Um Hum.
H: Dear Mr. Potter, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft 魔法 and Wizardry巫术.
V: He will not be going! We swore when we took him in that we would put a stop to all of this rubbish!
H: You knew? We knew all along and you never told me?
Pet: Of course we knew. How could you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. Oh I remember my parents were so proud the day she got her letter. We have a witch 女巫 in the family. Isn't it wonderful? I was the only one who saw her for what she was. A freak. 她是个怪胎!And then she met that Potter, and then she had you and I knew you would be the same just as strange just as abnormal. And then, if you please, she got herself blown up, and we got landed with you. 收养你
H: Blown up?! You told me my parents died in a car crash!
Hag: A car crash? A car crash killed Lily and James Potter?
Pat: We had to say something!
Hag: It's an outrage(v). It's a scandal.
这是一种侮辱,一种毁谤。
V: He will not be going.
Hag: Oh and I suppose a great Muggle like yourself is gonna stop him.
H: Muggle?
Hag: Non- magic folk. This boy's had his name down since he were born. He's going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world. And he'll be under the finest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen, Albus Dumbledore?
V: I will not pay to have some crack pot old fool teach him magic tricks!
休想叫我花钱让个疯老头子教他变戏法!
Hag: Never insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me? I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone at Hogwarts about that. Strictly speaking I'm not supposed to do magic.
H: OK Hag: We're a bit behind schedule. Best be off. Unless you'd rather stay,of course. |
