哈利波特遇上海賊王(附講義)【滬江網(wǎng)校外語角】
No.5
"On the night Lord Voldemort tried to kill him, when Lily cast her own life between them as a shield, the Killing Curse rebounded upon Lord Voldemort, and a fragment of soul of Voldemort was blasted apart from the whole, and latched itself onto the only living soul left in that collapsing building. Part of Lord Voldemort lives inside Harry, and it is that which gives him the power of speech with snakes, and a connection with his mind that he has never understood. And while that fragment of soul, unmissed by Voldemort, remains attached to, and protected by Harry, Lord Voldemort cannot die."
cast : v. 投射,扔
shield : n. 盾、防護(hù)罩
fragment : n. 碎片,部分
latch : n. 門閂 / v. 用門閂牢牢鎖住
No.4
"I am afraid I counted on Miss Granger to slow you up, Harry. I was afraid that your hot head might dominate your good heart. I was scared that, if presented outright with the facts about those tempting objects, you might seize the Hallows as I did, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons... You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying."
count on sb. 依靠,依賴某人
dominate : v. 控制,支配
tempting : a. 引誘的,吸引人的
No.3
A flask, conjured from thin air, was thrust into his shaking hands by Hermione. Harry lifted the silvery substance into it with his wand. When the flask was full to the brim, and Snape looked as
though there was no blood left in him, his grip on Harry slackened.
“Look . . . at . . . me. . . .” he whispered.
The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more.
conjure : v. 變戲法,變魔術(shù)
thrust : v. 猛得一塞,一推
slacken : v. 變得松弛
J.K Rowling的采訪片段
Winfrey: “All was well.” When I came to the end of that I mourned not only for the end of the series but for you. I cannot imagine what that was like.
Rowling: It was huge.
Winfrey: I cannot imagine.
Rowling: I kept – It was a bereavement. It was. It was a bereavement. It was huge. I think one way – although I knew it was coming we all know that the people we love are mortal – we are mortal. We know it is going to end. You cannot prepare yourself for it. So even though I always knew it would be seven books – that was it. I knew how it was going to end. When it ended I was in a slight state of shock.
Winfrey: What did you do when you finished?
Rowling: Well, initially I was elated but then there came a point – I cried as I have only ever cried once before in my life and that was when my mother died. It was uncontrollable and I am not a big crier. You know – I cry, but I am not someone who can sort of keep crying going. You know what I mean? Some people can – do floods for hours. I have never – only twice in my life have I done that. For seventeen years I had had that – through very tumultuous times in my personal life and I – I had always had that. And if it was an escape for all these children you can imagine what it would have been for me. And it was not just the world. It was the discipline of working and it was the structure it gave to my life and I knew I would still be writing but I had to mourn Harry.
No.2
“You disgust me,” said Dumbledore, and Harry had never heard?so much contempt in his voice. Snape seemed to shrink a little. “You?do not care, then, about the deaths of her husband and child? They?can die, as long as you have what you want?”?Snape said nothing, but merely looked up at Dumbledore.?“Hide them all, then,” he croaked. “Keep her — them — safe.?Please.”?“And what will you give me in return, Severus?”?“In — in return?” Snape gaped at Dumbledore, and Harry expected?him to protest, but after a long moment he said, “Anything.”
contempt : n. 鄙夷,不屑
gape : v. 目瞪口呆
J.K Rowling采訪片段
Winfrey: Did you know “all is well” was going to be the last line?
Rowling: Yeah, I did.
Winfrey: And you always knew that?
Rowling: Well, that is a really good question because for a long time the last word was going to be “scar”. It was just worded differently but I – and I had said that to fans. The last word would be “scar” and then I changed my mind. I just wanted the last words to be “all is well”.
Winfrey: All is well.
Rowling: All is well, yeah.
Winfrey: But you know what happens ever after.
Rowling: Yeah, I do. I could not stop. I do not think you can when you have been that involved with the characters for that long. It is still all in there. They are all in my head still. I mean I could write – I could – I could definitely write an eighth, ninth, tenth – I could – easily.
Winfrey: Will you?
Rowling: I am not going to say I will not. I do not think I will. I loved writing those books. I love writing it. So, I feel I am done but you never know.
No.1
“Albus Severus,” Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny?could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to?Rose, who was now on the train, “you were named for two headmasters?of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably?the bravest man I ever knew.”
“But just say —“
“— then Slytherin House will have gained an excellent student,?right? It doesn’t matter to us, Al. But if it matters to you, you will?be able to choose Gryffindor over Slytherin. The Sorting Hat takes?your choice into account.”
tactful : a. 圓滑的,機(jī)警的
choose A over B : 選擇A而不是B?
