The toward evening, in the setting sun that vanishes from the horizon slowly, covers a light golden yellow to the big house situated in London 6 King's Road. 黄昏时分,正在从地平线上缓缓消失的夕阳,给位于伦敦国王路6号的大宅子镀上一层淡淡的金黄色。 This is a classical villa that is full of the England style, spacious, bright and lordly. 这是一幢充满英伦风格的古典别墅,宽敞、明亮、气派。 On three high walls crawled completely the boston ivy of making threatening gestures, on the roof was attractive brown tiles, in the courtyard thick patch of grass and flower garden by the neat recuperation, a luxurious Bentley automobile at this time static stopping outside garage. 三层高的墙壁上爬满了张牙舞爪的爬山虎,屋顶上是一块块漂亮的褐色瓦片,院子里面的草丛和花圃被整齐的休整过,一辆豪华的宾利牌汽车此时正静静的停在车库外。 A beautiful setting sun picture, is serene and tranquil. 一副美好的落日画面,安详而又宁静。 Except that in the villa attic balcony, a black hair boy is looking at each other with an owl, the strangeness that between both could not say, is incompatible with the present style. 除了别墅顶楼阳台上,一个黑发男孩子正在与一头猫头鹰对视,两者之间说不出的怪异,和眼前的画风格格不入。 Ivan Mason dull looks at the present owl, in the eye filled curiously. The owl is not common, in birds that in the ordinarily resident family/home can see, particularly on the claw of opposite party, is grabbing one with the brown envelope that the thick parchment manufacture becomes. 艾文梅森呆呆的看着眼前的猫头鹰,眼睛中充满了好奇。猫头鹰可不是寻常到,在普通居民家中就能见到的鸟类,尤其是对方的爪子上,正抓着一封用厚厚羊皮纸制作而成的棕色信封。 Ivan has a feeling, that letter/believes writes to give own. 艾文有一种感觉,那封信是写给自己的。 However he did not determine how should attain it, because this owl seems like wants to obtain some rewards from oneself here, is willing believing to hand over. 不过他不确定该怎么拿到它,因为这头猫头鹰似乎是想要从自己这里获得一些奖赏,才肯将信交出来。 „Hello!” “你好！” Ivan said a hello, is trying and opposite party communicates, although this looks a little silly by oneself. 艾文打了一声招呼,尝试着和对方沟通,尽管这让自己看起来有点傻。 „gu” “咕” The owl called one gently, is crooked the head to take a look at the boy, in the yellowish brown pupil full is the alert. 猫头鹰轻轻的叫了一声,歪着脑袋打量着男孩,棕黄色瞳孔中满是戒备。 „Do not be anxious, I am well-meant!” “不要紧张,我没有恶意！” Ivan makes own sound seem temperate as far as possible, his outstretch right hand slowly, „your letter/believes writes for my, I think......” 艾文尽量使自己的声音显得温和,他慢慢的伸出右手,“你脚下那封信是写给我的么,我想......” His words have not said, was broken by downstairs resounding shout, „dear, you prepared, we wanted!” 他的话还没有说完,就被楼下一阵响亮的呼喊声打断,“亲爱的,你准备好了没有,我们要出发了！” Sound that then some people go upstairs. 紧接着,便是有人上楼的声音。 „Oh no, is my mother, cannot make her see you!” “糟糕,是我妈妈,不能让她看到你！” Ivan awakened fiercely, cannot attend to conducts the further communication with this owl at present, the right hand makes an effort to wield wielding fiercely forward, wants to expel it. 艾文猛地惊醒,顾不得和眼前这头猫头鹰进行进一步的沟通,右手猛地向前用力挥了挥,想将它赶走。 „gu!” The offended owl was quickly hidden one side. “咕！”受到冒犯的猫头鹰急忙躲到一旁。 „Sorry, my mother to the birds allergy, she noticed that all kinds and every large or small birds fear awfully.” Ivan waves, while said with the rapid intonation, „you must hurry to leave here!” “抱歉,我妈妈对鸟类过敏,她看到各种各样、大大小小的鸟类都怕得要命。”艾文一边挥手,一边用急促的语调解释说,“你必须赶紧离开这里！” It seems like the Ivan unreasonable movement, finally makes the owl believe firmly, at present this boy not to the thing that oneself will eat. After one second, it is wielding the wing, flew to peck Ivan ruthlessly, threw the letter/believes to his foot near. 似乎是艾文无理的动作,终于让猫头鹰确信,眼前这个男孩不会给自己吃的东西。一秒钟后,它挥动着翅膀,飞上去狠狠地啄了艾文一下,将信丢到他的脚边。 „Oh!” “啊哦！” Ivan eats the pain called one, looks that the owl departs the balcony like the tornado, vanishes from oneself at present. 艾文吃痛的叫了一声,看着猫头鹰如同旋风般飞出阳台,从自己眼前消失。 Cannot attend to other, catches up before mother comes, he lowered the head to pick under the foot envelope, above used the green jade ink, writes clearly: third floor, 6 King’s Road, Little Surrey, Surrey, Mr. Ivan Mason receives. 顾不上其他,赶在母亲进来之前,他低头将脚底下的信封捡了起来,上面用翡翠绿的墨水,清清楚楚写着:萨里郡小惠金区国王路6号三楼卧室,艾文梅森先生收。 „This letter/believes, a moment ago that owl......” “这封信,还有刚才那个猫头鹰......” Ivan narrows the eye, at present these obviously very weird matter, making him have a seemingly familiar familiarity. 艾文眯起眼睛,眼前这些明显十分怪诞的事情,让他有一种似曾相识的熟悉感。 „Ivan, we must quickly, your father already in the car(riage) we.” A middle-aged woman of appropriate make-up walked, said with the slightly serious tone, „first visits to others family/home, lateness is a very disrespectful matter.” “艾文,我们得快一点,你父亲已经在车里面等我们了。”一个打扮得体的中年女性走了进来,用略微严肃的口气说道,“到别人家初次拜访,迟到可是一件十分失礼的事情。” „Knew, Mom!” “知道了,妈妈！” Ivan pondered without enough time, has not paid attention while the opposite party, envelope stopper to own pants pocket. 艾文来不及细想,趁对方没有注意,将信封塞到自己裤兜里。 Their family/home the small families gets together tonight, the opposite party is a father's partner in business, the accurate point said, is his father's general contractor prepares to purchase a large quantities of drilling machine from opposite party there. 他们家今天晚上有一个小型家庭聚会,对方是自己父亲在生意上的合作伙伴,准确点说,是他父亲的建筑公司准备从对方那里采购一大批钻机。 Regarding Ivan, this evening banquet, he did not need to participate, but in the other family just big one -year-old child, happen to study in Smeltings Academy. 对于艾文来说,这种晚宴,他本来是不用参加的,不过对方家里刚好有一个大自己一岁孩子,正好又在斯梅廷中学念书。 Ivan 11 years old, over one month, he must then enter a higher school to enter Smeltings Academy this year, his parents feels necessary, ahead of time and future Senior Schoolmate contacts by own child. 艾文今年已经十一岁了,再过一个多月,他便要升学进入斯梅廷中学,他的父母觉得有必要,让自己家的孩子提前和未来的学长接触接触。 „Mom, you have not told me, what was that Senior Schoolmate name?” “妈妈,你还没有告诉我,那位的学长名字叫什么？” All the way, Ivan felt oneself must make anything, good the attention to shift from the letter/believes in pants pocket, before knows clearly this letter/believes content, he is indefinite must tell the parents this matter. 一路上,艾文觉得自己必须做些什么,好将注意力从裤兜里的信上转移开,在明确知道这封信的内容之前,他还不确定是不是要将这件事情告诉父母。 Perhaps, this is only a bad joke that somebody plays, does not need to make mother be worried for this matter. 也许,这只是某个人开的一个糟糕的玩笑,没有必要让母亲为这件事情担心。 „Dear, I had told you last week, the name that child is called Dudley.” Mrs. Mason vividly replied. “亲爱的,我上周就已经告诉过你了,那个孩子的名字叫做达力。”梅森夫人轻快地回答道。 „Dudley Dursley, I dare saying that you will certainly become the good friend.” Mr. Mason drives, while added. “达力德思礼,我敢说,你们一定会成为好朋友的。”梅森先生一边开车,一边补充道。 „Dudley Dursley, this also is really a good name!” Ivan lowers the head to be lost in thought. “达力德思礼,这还真是一个好名字啊！”艾文低头陷入了沉思。 In fact, he truly knows that a person also called this name. 事实上,他确实知道一个人也叫这个名字。 If he did not remember incorrectly, Dudley Dursley should be he before the rebirth, has looked at „Harry Potter” in a series novel character. In the book, Dudley is one overbearing incomparable and since childhood spoiled child, goes to the pitiful childhood to capturing Harry. 如果他没有记错,达力德思礼应该是他在重生前,看过“哈利波特”系列小说里面的一个人物。在书中,达力是一个霸道无比、从小被娇宠的孩子,给哈利带去悲惨的童年。 Regarding this fellow, the Ivan impression is profound, was very difficult to say any good impression. 对于这个家伙,艾文印象深刻,却很难说有什么好印象。 However that after all is in the novel the character, although oneself rebirth to Britain of 80-90 ages, but does not have any evidence suggested, here is the Harry Potter magic world. 不过那毕竟是小说中人物,虽然自己重生到80-90年代的英国,但是没有任何证据表明,这里是哈利波特的魔法世界。 „Puts with ease, should be only exactly the duplicate.” “放轻松,应该只是恰好重名而已。” Ivan convinced itself diligently, but thinks saw that owl a moment ago, he faintly somewhat was then anxious. 艾文努力说服自己,不过一想到刚才看到那头猫头鹰,他便隐隐有些不安。 Does not pay attention while the parents, Ivan took the letter/believes in pants pocket secretly, he turns over fast the envelope, sees only in the back of envelope, above has wax together to seal, a shield coat of arms, capital letter „H” the week wreath of letter a lion, a eagle, a badger and a snake. 趁着父母不注意,艾文偷偷将裤兜里的信拿了出来,他将信封快速翻转过来,只见在信封的背面,上面有一块蜡封、一个盾牌纹章,大写“H”字母的周围圈着一头狮子、一只鹰、一只獾和一条蛇。 The Ivan eyes stare fiercely in a big way, both hands closely make an effort, shivering disassembled the envelope, extracts the letter/believes to read: 艾文双眼猛地瞪大,双手紧紧用力,颤抖的将信封拆开,抽出信读了起来: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry headmaster: Albus Dumbledore( Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards and wizard(s) association presidents and First Class Order of Merlin). 霍格沃茨魔法学校校长:阿不思邓布利多(国际魔法联合会会长、巫师协会会长、梅林爵士团一级魔法师)。 Dear Mr. Mason: We inform you happily, you have been allowed to go study in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
