Chapter 2 The Vanishing Glass
第 2 章 消失的玻璃
Nearly ten years had passed since the Dursleys had woken up to find their nephew on the front step, but Privet Drive had hardly changed at all. The sun rose on the same tidy front gardens and lit up the brass number four on the Dursleys' front door; it crept into their living room, which was almost exactly the same as it had been on the night when Mr. Dursley had seen that fateful news report about the owls. Only the photographs on the mantelpiece really showed how much time had passed.
自从德思礼一家醒来发现他们的侄子站在前门台阶上，已经过去了将近十年，但女贞路几乎没有任何变化。太阳从同样整洁的前花园升起，照亮了德思礼家前门上的黄铜数字 4；它悄悄地进入了他们的客厅，那里几乎和德思礼先生看到那条关于猫头鹰的致命新闻报道的那天晚上一模一样。只有壁炉架上的照片才真正显示出时间的流逝。
Ten years ago, there had been lots of pictures of what looked like a large pink beach ball wearing different colored bubble hats; but Dudley Dursley was no longer a baby, and now the photographs showed a large, blonde boy riding his first bicycle, on a roundabout at the fair, playing a computer game with his father, being hugged and kissed by his mother. The room held no sign at all that another boy lived in the house too. Yet Harry Potter was still there, asleep at the moment, but not for long. His aunt Petunia was awake and it was her shrill voice that made the first noise of the day.
十年前，有很多照片，照片上是一个戴着不同颜色泡泡帽的粉红色大沙滩球；但达力·德思礼不再是婴儿了，现在的照片上是一个身材高大的金发男孩，他第一次骑着自行车，在集市的旋转木马上，和父亲玩电脑游戏，被母亲拥抱和亲吻。房间里没有任何迹象表明房子里还住着另一个男孩。然而哈利波特仍然在那里，此刻正在睡觉，但没睡多久。他的姨妈佩妮醒了，她尖锐的声音发出了一天中的第一声响。
"Get up now!" Harry woke with a start. His aunt rapped on the door again. "Up!" she screeched. Harry heard her walking towards the kitchen and then the sound of the frying pan being put on the cooker. He rolled onto his back and tried to remember the dream he had been having. It had been a good one. There had been a flying motorbike in it. He had a funny feeling he had had the same dream before.
“快起来！”哈利惊醒了。他的姨妈又敲了敲门。“快起来！”她尖叫道。哈利听到她朝厨房走去，然后听到煎锅被放到炉子上的声音。他翻身仰面，试图回忆起他做过的梦。那是一个美好的梦。梦里有一辆飞行的摩托车。他有一种奇怪的感觉，他以前也做过同样的梦。
His aunt was back outside the door. "Are you up yet?" she demanded. "Nearly," said Harry. "Well, get a move on. I want you to look after the bacon. And don't you dare let it burn. I want everything perfect on Daddy's birthday." Harry groaned. "What did you say?" his aunt snapped through the door. "Nothing, nothing," said Harry. Dudley's birthday. How could he have forgotten? Harry got slowly out of bed and started looking for socks. He found a pair under his bed.
他的姨妈又回到了门外。“你起床了吗？”她问道。“就要起了。”哈利说。“好吧，快点。我要你照顾培根。你可别让它烧焦了。我希望爸爸生日那天一切都完美无缺。”哈利呻吟道。“你说什么？”他的姨妈从门外厉声说道。“没什么，没什么，”哈利说。达力的生日。他怎么会忘记呢？哈利慢慢地从床上下来，开始找袜子。他在床下找到了一双。
