attic /??t?k/ n.?閣樓

12
Harry heard from Hogwarts one sunny morning about a week after he had arrived at the Burrow.
13
He and Ron went down to breakfast to find Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Ginny already sitting at the kitchen table.
14
The moment she saw Harry, Ginny accidentally knocked her?
porridge

17

“Letters from school,” said Mr. Weasley, passing Harry and Ron?
identical
?envelopes of yellowish parchment, addressed in green ink.
identical /a??dent?kl/ adj.?完全相同的

ambled
?in, still in their pajamas.

20
For a few minutes there was silence as they all read their letters.
21
Harry’s told him to catch the Hogwarts Express as usual from King’s Cross station on September first.
22
There was also a list of the new books he’d need for the coming year.

32
Fred, who had finished his own list, peered over at Harry’s.
33
“You’ve been told to get all Lockhart’s books, too!” he said. “The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a fan — bet it’s a witch.”
34
At this point, Fred caught his mother’s eye and quickly busied himself with the?
marmalade
.
marmalade /'mɑ?m?le?d/ n.?果子醬
35
“That lot won’t come cheap,” said George, with a quick look at his parents. “Lockhart’s books are really expensive. . . .”
36
“Well, we’ll manage,” said Mrs. Weasley, but she looked worried. “I expect we’ll be able to pick up a lot of Ginny’s things secondhand.”
37
“Oh, are you starting at Hogwarts this year?” Harry asked Ginny.
38
She nodded, blushing to the?
roots
?of her?
flaming
?hair, and put her elbow in the butter dish.
root /ru?t/ n.?（頭發(fā)、牙齒、指甲等的）根部
flaming /'fle?m??/ adj.?火紅的

Fortunately
?no one saw this except Harry, because just then Ron’s?
elder
?brother Percy walked in.
fortunately /'f?rt??n?tli/ adv.?幸虧

40
He was already dressed, his Hogwarts prefect badge pinned to his?

tank top
.
knitted /'nitid/ adj.?針織的

41
“Morning, all,” said Percy briskly. “
Lovely
?day.”

42
He sat down in the only?
remaining
?chair but leapt up again almost immediately, pulling from underneath him a?
molting
, gray?
feather duster
?—
remaining /r??me?n??/ adj.?剩余的
molt /m??lt/ vt. & vi.?脫毛
feather duster?雞毛撣子
43
at least, that was what Harry thought it was, until he saw that it was breathing.
44
“Errol!” said Ron, taking the?
limp
?owl from Percy and extracting a letter from under its wing.
limp /l?mp/ adj.?無(wú)力的
45
“Finally — he’s got Hermione’s answer. I wrote to her saying we were going to try and rescue you from the Dursleys.”
46
He carried Errol to a?
perch
?just inside the back door and tried to stand him on it, but Errol flopped straight off again so Ron laid him on the?
draining board
?instead, muttering, “
Pathetic
.”
perch /p??t?/ n.?棲木
draining board?（使碗盆滴干的）滴水板
pathetic /p??θet?k/ adj.?可憐的
47
Then he ripped open Hermione’s letter and read it out loud:
48
“‘Dear Ron, and Harry if you’re there,
49
“‘I hope everything went all right and that Harry is okay and that you didn’t do anything illegal to get him out, Ron, because that would get Harry into trouble, too.
50
I’ve been really worried and if Harry is all right, will you please let me know at once, but perhaps it would be better if you used a different owl, because I think another delivery might?
finish your one off
.
finish off <非正>?殺死
51
“‘I’m very busy with schoolwork, of course’ — How can she be?” said Ron in horror.
52
“We’re on holiday! — and we’re going to London next Wednesday to buy my new books. Why don’t we meet in Diagon Alley??
53
“‘Let me know what’s happening as soon as you can. Love from Hermione.’”
54
“Well, that?
fits
?in?
nicely
, we can go and get all your things then, too,” said Mrs. Weasley, starting to clear the table. “What’re you all up to today?”
fit /f?t/ v.?合適
nicely /?na?sl?/ adv.?恰好地
55
Harry, Ron, Fred, and George were planning to go up the hill to a small?
paddock
?the Weasleys owned.
paddock /'p?d?k/ n.?圍場(chǎng)
56
It was surrounded by trees that blocked it from view of the village below, meaning that they could practice Quidditch there, as long as they didn’t fly too high.
57
They couldn’t use real Quidditch balls, which would have been hard to explain if they had escaped and flown away over the village; instead they threw apples for each another to catch.
58
They took turns riding Harry’s Nimbus Two Thousand, which was easily the best broom; Ron’s old Shooting Star was often?
outstripped
?by?
passing
?butterflies.
outstrip /?a?t?str?p/ vt. (在賽跑等中)超過
passing /'pɑ?s??/ adj.?經(jīng)過的
59
Five minutes later they were marching up the hill, broomsticks over their shoulders.
60
They had asked Percy if he wanted to join them, but he had said he was busy.
61
Harry had only seen Percy at mealtimes?
so far
; he stayed shut in his room the rest of the time.
so far?迄今為止
62
“Wish I knew what he was up to,” said Fred, frowning.
63
“He’s not himself. His exam results came the day before you did; twelve?
O.W.L.s
?and he hardly?
gloated
?at all.”
O.W.L.s?普通巫師等級(jí)考驗(yàn)
gloat /ɡl??t/ vi.?心滿意足地注視
64
“
Ordinary
?Wizarding Levels,” George explained, seeing Harry’s puzzled look.
ordinary /???dnri/ adj.?普通的
65
“Bill got twelve, too. If we’re not careful, we’ll have another Head Boy in the family. I don’t think I could?
stand
?the shame.”
stand /st?nd/ vt.?經(jīng)得起
66
Bill was the oldest Weasley brother. He and the next brother, Charlie, had already left Hogwarts.
67
Harry had never met either of them, but knew that Charlie was in Romania studying dragons and Bill in Egypt working for the wizards’ bank, Gringotts.
68
“Dunno how Mum and Dad are going to afford all our school stuff this year,” said George after a while.
69
“Five sets of Lockhart books! And Ginny needs robes and a wand and everything. . . .”
70
Harry said nothing. He felt a bit?
awkward
. Stored in an underground?
vault
?at Gringotts in London was a small?
fortune
that his parents had left him.
awkward /???kw?d/ adj.?尷尬的
vault /v??lt/ n.?（尤指銀行的）金庫(kù)
fortune /?f??t?u?n/ n.?財(cái)富
71
Of course, it was only in the Wizarding world that he had money; you couldn’t use Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts in Muggle shops.
72
He had never mentioned his Gringotts bank account to the Dursleys; he didn’t think their horror of anything connected with magic would?
stretch
?to a large pile of gold.
stretch /stret?/ vt.?延伸
73
Mrs. Weasley woke them all early the following Wednesday.
74
After a quick half a dozen bacon sandwiches each, they pulled on their coats and Mrs. Weasley took a?
flowerpot
?off the kitchen?
mantelpiece
?and peered inside.
flowerpot /'fla??p?t/ n.?花盆
75
“We’re?
running low
, Arthur,” she sighed. “We’ll have to buy some more today. . . . Ah well, guests first! After you, Harry dear!”
run low?即將用盡
76
And she offered him the flowerpot.
77
Harry stared at them all watching him.
78
“W-what am I supposed to do?” he stammered.
79
“He’s never traveled by Floo powder,” said Ron suddenly. “Sorry, Harry, I forgot.”
80
“Never?” said Mr. Weasley. “But how did you get to Diagon Alley to buy your school things last year?”
81
“I went on the Underground —”
82
“Really?” said Mr. Weasley eagerly. “Were there?
escapators
? How exactly —”
escalator /'esk?le?t?/ n.?自動(dòng)扶梯
83
“Not now, Arthur,” said Mrs. Weasley. “Floo powder’s a lot quicker, dear, but?
goodness
?me, if you’ve never used it before —”
goodness /?ɡ?dn?s/ int.?天哪
84
“He’ll be all right, Mum,” said Fred. “Harry, watch us first.”
85
He took a?
pinch
?of glittering powder out of the flowerpot, stepped up to the fire, and threw the powder into the flames.
pinch /p?nt?/ n.?一撮
86
With a roar, the fire turned emerald green and rose higher than Fred, who stepped right into it, shouted, “Diagon Alley!” and vanished.
87
“You must speak clearly, dear,” Mrs. Weasley told Harry as George?
dipped
?his hand into the flowerpot. “And mind you get out at the right grate …”
dip /d?p/ vt.?把(手)伸入
88
“The right what?” said Harry nervously as the fire roared and?
whipped
?George out of sight, too.
whip /w?p/ vt.?煽動(dòng)
89
“Well, there are an awful lot of wizard fires to choose from, you know, but as long as you’ve spoken clearly —”
90
“He’ll be fine, Molly, don’t?
fuss
,” said Mr. Weasley,?
helping himself
?to Floo powder, too.
fuss /f?s/ vi.?焦急
help oneself?自取所需
91
“But, dear, if he got lost, how would we ever explain to his aunt and uncle?”
92
“They wouldn’t mind,” Harry?
reassured
?her. “Dudley would think it was a brilliant joke if I got lost up a chimney, don’t worry about that —”
reassure /?ri??????(r)/ vt.?消除恐懼或疑慮
93
“Well . . . all right . . . you go after Arthur,” said Mrs. Weasley. “Now, when you get into the fire, say where you’re going —”
94
“And keep your elbows?
tucked in
,” Ron advised.
tuck in?緊縮
95
“And your eyes shut,” said Mrs. Weasley. “The?
soot
?—”
soot /s?t/ n.?煤煙
96
“Don’t?
fidget
,” said Ron. “Or you?
might well
?fall out of the wrong?
fireplace
?—”
fidget /'f?d??t/ vi.?動(dòng)來(lái)動(dòng)去
might well?有可能
fireplace /?fa??ple?s/ n.?壁爐
97
“But don’t?
panic
?and get out too early; wait until you see Fred and George.”
panic /?p?n?k/ n.?驚慌
98
Trying hard to bear all this in mind, Harry took a pinch of Floo powder and walked to the edge of the fire.
99
He took a deep breath, scattered the powder into the flames, and stepped forward; the fire felt like a warm breeze; he opened his mouth and immediately swallowed a lot of hot?
ash
.
ash /??/ n.?灰
100
“D-Dia-gon Alley,” he coughed.
101
It felt as though he was being sucked down a giant?
plug hole
.
plug hole?塞孔
102
He seemed to be spinning very fast — the roaring in his ears was?
deafening
?— he tried to keep his eyes open but the?
whirl
?of green flames made him feel sick —
deafening /?def?n??/ adj.?震耳欲聾的
whirl /w??l/ n.?回旋
103
something hard knocked his elbow and he tucked it in tightly, still spinning and spinning — now it felt as though cold hands were slapping his face —
104
squinting through his glasses he saw a blurred stream of fireplaces and snatched glimpses of the rooms?
beyond
?—
beyond /b??j?nd/ adv.?在遠(yuǎn)處
105
his bacon sandwiches were?
churning
?inside him — he closed his eyes again wishing it would stop, and then — He fell, face forward, onto cold stone and felt his glasses?
shatter
.
churn /t???n/ v. (使)猛烈翻騰
shatter /???t?(r)/ vt.?粉碎
106
Dizzy
?and?
bruised
, covered in soot, he got?
gingerly
?to his feet, holding his broken glasses up to his eyes.
dizzy /?d?zi/ adj.?暈眩的
bruised /bru:zd/ adj. [醫(yī)]青腫的
gingerly /?d??nd??li/ adv.?小心謹(jǐn)慎地
107
He was quite alone, but where he was, he had no idea.
108
All he could tell was that he was standing in the stone fireplace of what looked like a large,?
dimly lit
?wizard’s shop —?
dimly lit?昏暗的
109
but nothing in here was ever likely to be on a Hogwarts school list.
110
A glass case nearby held a withered hand on a?
cushion
, a?
bloodstained
?
pack
?of cards, and a?
staring
?glass eye.
cushion /?k??n/ n.?墊子
bloodstained /'bl?dste?nd/ adj.?血污的

mask /mɑ?sk/ n.?面具

112
and rusty,?
spiked
?
instruments
?hung from the ceiling.
spiked /'spa?kt/ adj.?尖的
instrument /??nstr?m?nt/ n.?儀器
113
Even worse, the dark, narrow street Harry could see through the dusty shop window was definitely not Diagon Alley.
114
The sooner
?he got out of here, the better.
the sooner?越早
115
Nose still?
stinging
?where it had hit the?
hearth
, Harry made his way swiftly and silently toward the door, but before he’d got halfway toward it, two people appeared on the other side of the glass —
sting /st??/ v. (使)產(chǎn)生劇痛
hearth /hɑ?θ/ n.?灶臺(tái)
116
and one of them was the very last person Harry wanted to meet when he was lost, covered in?
soot
, and wearing broken glasses: Draco Malfoy.
soot /s?t/ n.?煙灰
117
Harry looked quickly around and spotted a large black?
cabinet
?to his left; he shot inside it and pulled the doors closed, leaving a small?
crack
?to peer through.
cabinet /?k?b?n?t/ n.?陳列柜
crack /kr?k/ n.?縫隙
118
Seconds later, a bell?
clanged
, and Malfoy stepped into the shop.
clang /kl??/ v. (使)叮當(dāng)?shù)仨?/p>
119
The man who followed could only be his father. He had the same pale, pointed face and identical cold, gray eyes.
120
Mr. Malfoy crossed the shop, looking?
lazily
?at the?
items
?on?

drumming
?his fingers on the counter.
racing /?reisi?/ adj.?比賽的

123
“What’s the good of that if I’m not on the House team?” said Malfoy, looking?
sulky
?and bad-tempered.
sulky /?s?lki/ adj.?繃著臉的
124
“Harry Potter got a Nimbus Two Thousand last year. Special permission from Dumbledore so he could play for Gryffindor.
125
He’s not even that good, it’s just because he’s famous . . . famous for having a stupid scar on his forehead. . . .”
126
Malfoy bent down to examine a shelf full of?
skulls
.
skull /sk?l/ n.?頭蓋骨
127

128
“You have told me this at least a dozen times already,” said Mr. Malfoy, with a?
quelling
?look at his son.
quelling adj.?鎮(zhèn)靜的
129

133
“I’m not buying today, Mr. Borgin, but selling,” said Mr. Malfoy.
134
“Selling?” The smile faded slightly from Mr. Borgin’s face.
135
“You have heard, of course, that the Ministry is?
conducting
?more?
raids
,” said Mr. Malfoy, taking a roll of parchment from his inside pocket and?
unraveling
?it for Mr. Borgin to read.

curled
.

cushion
.
withered /'wie?d/ adj.?枯萎的

No offense
, sir, no offense meant —”
amount to?變成
no offense?無(wú)意冒犯
149
“Though if his school marks don’t?
pick up
,” said Mr. Malfoy, more coldly still, “that may indeed be all he is fit for —”
pick up?改善
150
“It’s not my fault,”?
retorted
?Draco. “The teachers all have?
favorites
, that Hermione Granger —”
retort /r??t??t/ vt.?反駁
favorite /?fe?v?r?t/ n.?得到偏愛的人
151
“I would have thought you’d be ashamed that a girl of no wizard family beat you in every exam,” snapped Mr. Malfoy.
152
“Ha!” said Harry under his breath, pleased to see Draco looking both?
abashed
?and angry.

153
“It’s the same all over,” said Mr. Borgin, in his oily voice. “Wizard blood is?

156
“In that case, perhaps we can return to my list,” said Mr. Malfoy shortly. “I am in something of a hurry, Borgin, I have important business elsewhere today —”

cabinet /?k?b?n?t/ n.?陳列柜
162
“Done,” said Mr. Malfoy at the counter. “Come, Draco —”

“Good day yourself, Mister Malfoy, and if the stories are true, you haven’t sold me half of what’s hidden in your manor. . . .”
167

168
Harry waited for a minute in case he came back, then, quietly as he could, slipped out of the cabinet, past the?
glass cases
, and out of the shop door.
glass case [家具]玻璃櫥
169
Clutching his broken glasses to his face he stared around.

175
This didn’t help, as Harry had never heard of such a place.
176
He supposed he hadn’t spoken clearly enough through his mouthful of ashes back in the Weasleys’ fire. Trying to stay calm, he wondered what to do.
177
“Not lost are you, my dear?” said a voice in his ear, making him jump.
178
An aged witch stood in front of him, holding a tray of what looked horribly like whole human?

“I’m fine, thanks,” he said. “I’m just —”

“What happened to your glasses? Hello, Hagrid — Oh, it’s wonderful to see you two again — Are you coming into Gringotts, Harry?”
201
“As soon as I’ve found the Weasleys,” said Harry.
202
“Yeh won’t have long ter wait,” Hagrid said with a grin.
203
Harry and Hermione looked around: Sprinting up the crowded street were Ron, Fred, George, Percy, and Mr. Weasley.
204
“Harry,” Mr. Weasley panted. “We hoped you’d only gone one?

?too far. . . .”

Gasping for breath, she pulled a large?

?out of her bag and began sweeping off the soot Hagrid hadn’t managed to beat away.

Mr. Weasley took Harry’s glasses, gave them a?

238

293
“Ron!” said Mr. Weasley, struggling over with Fred and George. “What are you doing? It’s mad in here, let’s go outside.”
294
“Well, well, well — Arthur Weasley.”
295
It was Mr. Malfoy. He stood with his hand on Draco’s shoulder, sneering in just the same way.
296
“Lucius,” said Mr. Weasley, nodding coldly.
297
“Busy time at the Ministry, I hear,” said Mr. Malfoy. “All those raids . . . I hope they’re paying you overtime?”
