有声读物-哈利波特与魔法石 14
上集说到，哈利在动物园里无意解救了一条蛇，并且神奇的和它进行了交流，这一切让他开始细想这十年来在徳思礼家奇怪的一切。请结合今天有声读物的mp3及下方的原文和翻译，开始今天的听力练习吧！
原文及翻译
The zoo director himself made Aunt Petunia a cup of strong, sweet tea while he apologized over and over again. Piers and Dudley could only gibber. As far as Harry had seen, the snake hadn't done anything except snap playfully at their heels as it passed, but by the time they were all back in Uncle Vernon's car, Dudley was telling them how it had nearly bitten off his leg, while Piers was swearing it had tried to squeeze him to death. But worst of all, for Harry at least, was Piers calming down enough to say, "Harry was talking to it, weren't you, Harry?"
动物园管理员亲自给佩妮姨妈泡了一杯浓浓的甜茶，一遍又一遍地道歉。皮尔斯和达力只能胡言乱语。据哈利所见，那条蛇除了在经过时嬉戏地咬他们的脚后跟外，什么也没做，但当他们回到弗农姨父的车上时，达力告诉他们那条蛇差点咬断了他的腿，而皮尔斯则发誓说那条蛇试图把他挤死。但最糟糕的是，至少对哈利来说，皮尔斯平静下来，说：“哈利在跟它说话，对吧，哈利？”
Uncle Vernon waited until Piers was safely out of the house before starting on Harry. He was so angry he could hardly speak. He managed to say, "Go — cupboard — stay — no meals," before he collapsed into a chair, and Aunt Petunia had to run and get him a large brandy. Harry lay in his dark cupboard much later, wishing he had a watch. He didn't know what time it was and he couldn't be sure the Dursleys were asleep yet. Until they were, he couldn't risk sneaking to the kitchen for some food.
弗农姨父等到皮尔斯安全离开房子后才开始对哈利发火。他气得几乎说不出话来。他好不容易说了一句：“去——橱柜——待着——不准吃饭”，然后就倒在椅子上，佩妮姨妈不得不跑去给他拿了一大杯白兰地。哈利在黑暗的橱柜里躺了很久，真希望自己有一块手表。他不知道现在几点了，也不能确定德思礼一家是否已经睡着了。在他们睡着之前，他不敢冒险偷偷溜到厨房去拿东西吃。
He'd lived with the Dursleys almost ten years, ten miserable years, as long as he could remember, ever since he'd been a baby and his parents had died in that car crash. He couldn't remember being in the car when his parents had died. Sometimes, when he strained his memory during long hours in his cupboard, he came up with a strange vision: a blinding flash of green light and a burning pain on his forehead. This, he supposed, was the crash, though he couldn't imagine where all the green light came from. He couldn't remember his parents at all.
自从他还是个婴儿，父母在那场车祸中丧生以来，他已经和德思礼一家住了将近十年，十年的悲惨岁月，他记事以来就一直如此。他不记得父母去世时他在车里。有时，当他在橱柜里长时间回忆时，他会产生一种奇怪的幻觉：一道耀眼的绿光和额头上的灼痛。他猜想这就是车祸的经过，尽管他想不出所有的绿光是从哪里来的。他完全不记得他的父母。
His aunt and uncle never spoke about them, and of course he was forbidden to ask questions. There were no photographs of them in the house. When he had been younger, Harry had dreamed and dreamed of some unknown relation coming to take him away, but it had never happened; The Dursleys were his only family. Yet sometimes he thought (or maybe hoped) that strangers in the street seemed to know him. Very strange strangers they were, too. A tiny man in a violet top hat had bowed to him once while out shopping with Aunt Petunia and Dudley. After asking Harry furiously if he knew the man, Aunt Petunia had rushed them out of the shop without buying anything.
他的姑姑和姑父从来没有谈起过他们，当然，他也被禁止提问。家里没有他们的照片。小时候，哈利曾多次梦见一些不认识的亲戚来带走他，但从未发生过；德思礼一家是他唯一的亲人。但有时他觉得（或者希望）街上的陌生人似乎认识他。他们也是非常奇怪的陌生人。有一次，他和佩妮姨妈和达力出去购物，一个戴着紫色高顶礼帽的小个子男人向他鞠躬。佩妮姨妈怒气冲冲地问哈利是否认识那个男人，然后催促他们离开商店，什么也没买。
A wild-looking old woman dressed all in green had waved merrily at him once on a bus. A bald man in a very long purple coat had actually shaken his hand in the street the other day and then walked away without a word. The weirdest thing about all these people was the way they seemed to vanish the second Harry tried to get a closer look. At school, Harry had no one. Everybody knew that Dudley's gang hated that odd Harry Potter in his baggy old clothes and broken glasses, and nobody liked to disagree with Dudley's gang.
有一次在公共汽车上，一个穿着一身绿衣的野蛮老妇人高兴地向他挥手。前几天，一个穿着很长的紫色外套的秃头男人在街上和他握手，然后一言不发地走开了。所有这些人最奇怪的一点是，当哈利试图靠近看的时候，他们似乎消失了。在学校，哈利没有人。每个人都知道达力帮讨厌那个穿着宽松旧衣服、戴着破眼镜的奇怪的哈利波特，没有人愿意反对达力帮。
