原文:

"The Potters, that's right, that's what I heard—"
"— yes, their son, Harry—"

Mr. Dursley stopped dead. Fear flooded him. He looked back at the whisperers as if he wanted to say something to them, but thought better of it.

He dashed back across the road, hurried up to his office, snapped at his secretary not to disturb him, seized his telephone, and had almost finished dialing his home number when he changed his mind. He put the receiver back down and stroked his mustache, thinking… no, he was being stupid. Potter wasn't such an unusual name. He was sure there were lots of people called Potter who had a son called Harry. Come to think of it, he wasn't even sure his nephew was called Harry. He'd never even seen the boy. It might have been Harvey. Or Harold. There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley; she always got so upset at any mention of her sister. He didn't blame her — if he'd had a sister like that… but all the same, those people in cloaks…

He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon and when he left the building at five o'clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside the door.

譯文:

“波特一家,沒錯(cuò),我聽到的就是這個(gè)名字?!?br> “一定的,他們的兒子,哈利——”

杜斯利先生僵住了。害怕緊緊地攫住了他。他回過(guò)頭看著那群人想跟他們說(shuō)些什么,可是又不知道說(shuō)什么好。

他沖過(guò)馬路,小跑回到辦公室。囑咐他的秘書不要打攪他,然后抓起電話就往家里打。打著打著,他突然改變主意了。他放下電話,撫弄了一下自己的胡子,陷入沉思。不,他太傻了。波特不過(guò)是個(gè)普通的名字。他肯定不只一個(gè)人叫波特并且他的兒子叫做哈利。想到這里,他甚至無(wú)法肯定他的侄兒是不是叫哈利。畢竟他從來(lái)沒見過(guò)他??赡芩泄S爾,又或者叫哈羅德,沒有必要再去煩太太了,她一提到她妹妹就要嘆氣。這也不能怪她,如果杜斯利有個(gè)妹妹像她……不管怎么樣,那些穿著被風(fēng)的人……

他覺得整個(gè)下午都很難集中精力干活。當(dāng)他五點(diǎn)鐘離開辦公室時(shí),甚至擔(dān)心自己一出門就會(huì)撞到什么人似的。

主要知識(shí)點(diǎn):

1. flood:

flood這個(gè)詞我們很熟,是“洪水”的意思。不過(guò)在文中,flood作為動(dòng)詞意思就要稍微變化一下啦!
這里指的是“思想或感情充溢,涌現(xiàn)”,是一種比喻的手法。
比如說(shuō):Memories of his childhood came flooding back.(他童年的往事涌上心頭。)
是不是覺得很形象?其實(shí)英語(yǔ)中這樣的用法很多,比如說(shuō)seize這個(gè)詞,是“抓住”的意思。如果我們說(shuō):Panic seized us.(我們驚恐萬(wàn)狀。)是不是有種“這樣說(shuō)好高級(jí)啊~”的想法捏~

2. snap at sb:

這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意思是speak to sb sharply and rudely(厲聲對(duì)某人說(shuō))。
比如說(shuō):"Shut up!" she snapped (back) at him.(“住嘴!”她厲聲頂(回)了他一句。)

3. there be no point in doing:

這個(gè)短語(yǔ)是“沒有必要做某事,做某事毫無(wú)意義”的意思,和我們熟知的there be no need to do意思一樣啦。
比如說(shuō):There is no point in doing so.(這樣做毫無(wú)意義。)

4. at any mention of:

mention of表示“提及某人或某物”。
比如說(shuō):He made no mention of your request.(他沒有提到你的要求。)
這里的at的用法我們也經(jīng)??吹?,比如說(shuō):All the birds flew in all directions at the sound of gun shot.
其實(shí)仔細(xì)看看這兩個(gè)詞組結(jié)構(gòu)是一樣的吧,有時(shí)候我們?nèi)绻恢酪馑迹环量梢蕴子靡幌伦约阂褜W(xué)會(huì)的知識(shí),說(shuō)不定問題就迎刃而解啦!
