音頻:

原文:

"Sorry," he grunted, as the tiny old man stumbled and almost fell. It was a few seconds before Mr. Dursley realized that the man was wearing a violet cloak. He didn't seem at all upset at being almost knocked to the ground. On the contrary, his face split into a wide smile and he said in a squeaky voice that made passersby stare, "Don't be sorry, my dear sir, for nothing could upset me today! Rejoice, for You-Know-Who has gone at last! Even Muggles like yourself should be celebrating, this happy, happy day!" And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around the middle and walked off.

Mr. Dursley stood rooted to the spot. He had been hugged by a complete stranger. He also thought he had been called a Muggle, whatever that was. He was rattled. He hurried to his car and set off for home, hoping he was imagining things, which he had never hoped before, because he didn't approve of imagination.

譯文:

“對(duì)不起?!彼緡佒?,面前站著一個(gè)踉踉蹌蹌的幾乎要跌倒的矮老頭。幾秒鐘后,杜斯利先生才發(fā)覺這個(gè)人穿著一件紫色的披風(fēng)。他看上去對(duì)幾乎被撞倒在地毫不介意。相反,他咧開嘴笑,并且用一種讓旁人側(cè)目的尖嗓子說(shuō)話,“不要覺得抱歉,先生,今天沒有任何事會(huì)惹惱我。只有開心!你知道最后誰(shuí)離開了嗎?像你這樣的馬格人都應(yīng)該重視這個(gè)開心的日子!”這個(gè)老人給了杜斯利先生一個(gè)只到腰間的擁抱,然后走開了。

杜斯利先生定在了原地。他被一個(gè)陌生人擁抱,并且居然被叫作馬格人,他被惹火了。他迅速地鉆進(jìn)車內(nèi)往家趕,希望這一切不過是幻覺——而在這以前他是從來(lái)不相信有幻覺存在的。

主要知識(shí)點(diǎn):

1. grunt:

grunt的主要意思就是我們說(shuō)的“哼哼,嘀咕,咕?!?。
比如說(shuō):She grunted some incomprehensible reply. 她咕嚕著回答了一些令人費(fèi)解的話。
而另外有一個(gè)詞mutter,也是表示“嘀咕”,這個(gè)詞多表示的是一種抱怨,發(fā)牢騷的情緒。
比如說(shuō):For some time people had been muttering about the way she ran the department. 人們對(duì)她的管理方式私下抱怨已有時(shí)日。

2. on the contrary

小編曾經(jīng)對(duì)on the contrary 以及 in contrast with 兩個(gè)詞組糾結(jié)不已。今天這機(jī)會(huì)咱來(lái)一起看一下吧!
1)on the contrary:相反而言……(正相反)
比如說(shuō):I'm not ill. On the contrary, I'm very healthy. 我沒有生病。正相反,我很健康。
2)in contrast with:相對(duì)比而言……(和……對(duì)比,對(duì)照)
比如說(shuō):In contrast to / with the city life, time seemed to pass slowly in the country.
總的來(lái)說(shuō)一句話:相對(duì)比的東西未必就一定是相反的。

3. set off:

這個(gè)詞組表示“開始”(旅行、賽跑等)比如說(shuō):
They've set off on a journey round the world.(他們已經(jīng)開始環(huán)游世界。)
If you want to catch that train we'd better set off for the station immediately.(你要是想趕上那班火車,咱們就最好馬上動(dòng)身去火車站。)

4. approve of sth:

這個(gè)詞組表示say, show or feel that sth is good or acceptable or satisfactory(贊成;認(rèn)可;滿意;同意)
比如說(shuō):I approve of your trying to earn some money, but please don't neglect your studies.(我同意你去掙一些錢,可是請(qǐng)不要耽誤了功課。)
