原文:
As he pulled into the driveway of number four, the first thing he saw — and it didn't improve his mood — was the tabby cat he'd spotted that morning. It was now sitting on his garden wall. He was sure it was the same one; it had the same markings around its eyes.
The cat didn't move. It just gave him a stern look. Was this normal cat behavior? Mr. Dursley wondered. Trying to pull himself together, he let himself into the house. He was still determined not to mention anything to his wife.
Mrs. Dursley had had a nice, normal day. She told him over dinner all about Mrs. Next Door's problems with her daughter and how Dudley had learned a new word ("Won't!"). Mr. Dursley tried to act normally. When Dudley had been put to bed, he went into the living room in time to catch the last report on the evening news:
"And finally, bird-watchers everywhere have reported that the nation's owls have been behaving very unusually today. Although owls normally hunt at night and are hardly ever seen in daylight, there have been hundreds of sightings of these birds flying in every direction since sunrise. Experts are unable to explain why the owls have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern." The newscaster allowed himself a grin. "Most mysterious. And now, over to Jim McGuffin with the weather. Going to be any more showers of owls tonight, Jim?"
譯文:

“噓!”杜斯利先生嚷道。?
那只貓沒動(dòng)。它又是冷冷地看了他一眼。這是一只貓的行為嗎?杜斯利先生覺得很迷惑。為了試著讓自己振作起來,他走進(jìn)了房子。他仍然決定對(duì)妻子只字不提今天的事。?
杜斯利夫人則過得十分愜意、舒適。晚飯時(shí)她與丈夫談起鄰居與她兒子的不和以及達(dá)德里怎樣學(xué)會(huì)了一個(gè)新單詞“不許!”。杜斯利先生試圖像平常一樣答話。在把達(dá)德里哄上床后,他正好有時(shí)間看到晚間新聞的最后一條新聞:
