Vocabulary
一、重点单词:
- scramble to one's feet = stand up very quickly and awkwardly 匆忙起身
Harry scrambled to his feet, so happy he felt as though a large balloon was swelling inside him.
Hagrid’s coat seemed to be made of nothing but pockets – bunches of keys, slug pellets, balls of string, mint humbugs, tea-bags…

a ball of sting 一团线团
mint humbug 薄荷硬糖 <BrE>
-
teabag 茶包

eg. The car has a puncture/flat.
Harry was turning over the wizard coins and looking at them. He had just thought of something which made him feel as though the happy balloon inside him had got a puncture.

- gleam 发光

vault 金库
‘Ministry o’ Magic messin’ things up as usual,’ Hagrid muttered, turning the page.
They wanted Dumbledore fer Minister, o’ course, but he’d never leave Hogwarts, so old Cornelius Fudge got the job. Bungler if ever there was one. So he pelts Dumbledore with owls every morning, askin’ fer advice.
mess up 意思是出错,搞砸
bungler 意思是笨手笨脚的人
这里有个彩蛋:
- bungle = mess up = fluff 弄糟,搞砸
fluff是我一个月前写这个讲义时,在欧路背到的单词。但是它的“搞砸”这个词义是非正式的用法
fluff的名词词义是羊毛或棉质品的绒毛、软毛,或者鸟类或其他兽类的绒毛软毛;动词词义是将软物抖松,或者鸟类抖松羽毛
fluff有两个有意思的词义:一个是〈喻〉空洞(或肤浅)的娱乐节目(或作品);另一个非正式用法是(说话、演奏或台词中的)错误。
Passers-by stared a lot at Hagrid as they walked through the little town to the station. Harry couldn’t blame them. Not only was Hagrid twice as tall as anyone else, he kept pointing at perfectly ordinary things like parking meters and saying loudly, ‘See that, Harry? Things these Muggles dream up, eh?’
dream up 想出
parking meter 停车计时收费器
二、其他单词:
bronze 青铜色
slug pellets 除鼻涕虫丸
scratch one's head 挠了挠头
‘Don’t worry about that,’ said Hagrid, standing up and scratching his head. ‘D’yeh think yer parents didn’t leave yeh anything?’
- say yes/no (to sth) = agree or refuse 同意/不同意某事
‘They didn’ keep their gold in the house, boy! Nah, first stop fer us is Gringotts. Wizards’ bank. Have a sausage, they’re not bad cold – an’ I wouldn’ say no teh a bit o’ yer birthday cake, neither.’
三、旧词重现:

刚巧今天看到小伙伴去英国玩耍发的对角巷~分享给大家:
我打算从第六章开始,找个本子专门写讲义,群内传图片给大家,第五章的由于本子上前前后后顺序有点乱,还是整理简书上。第六章起先在咱们几个小伙伴小范围扩散,我每天抽一部分时间整理电脑结集。
