30、(Excerpt)Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people youd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didnt hold with such nonsense.Mr. Dursley was the director of
31、 a firm called Grunnings，which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck，although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences,
32、spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didnt think they could bear it if anyone fou
33、nd out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursleys sister, but they hadnt met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didnt have a sister, because her sister and her goodfornothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be.The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neig
34、hbors would say it：the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son，too, but they had never even seen him.This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away；they didnt want Dudley mixing with a child like that.哈利波特(节选)住在女贞路四号的德思礼先生及夫人，他们非常骄傲地宣称自己是十分正常的
35、人，拜托了。他们绝不会卷入任何奇怪或神秘的事情，因为他们对此总是嗤之以鼻。德思礼先生是一家叫作格朗宁的钻机公司的老板。他非常肥壮、结实，几乎胖到没有脖子，但却有一把大胡子。德思礼夫人则很瘦，一头金发。她的脖子有常人的两倍那么长，这使得她整天伸长脖子透过花园围栏去偷窥邻居家的动静变得非常容易。德思礼夫妇有个儿子叫作达力。在他们眼中，这世界上再没有比达力更棒的男孩子。德思礼一家几乎有他们想要的一切东西。但是他们也有一个秘密，而且他们最大的担心就是有一天别人会发现这个秘密。如果有人知道了关于波特一家的事，他们会受不了的。波特夫人是德思礼夫人的妹妹，但是她们已经有很多年没有见面了。事实上，德思礼夫人假
36、装她从来没有什么妹妹，因为她的妹妹和那不中用的妹夫没有一丝一毫德思礼家族的风范。一想到波特一家的到来会招致邻居的议论，德思礼一家就会浑身发抖。德思礼一家知道波特夫妇也有一个儿子，只是未曾谋面。这个小男孩也成了德思礼一家避开波特一家的借口，因为他们不希望听话的达力与这种小孩混在一起。知识积累1involve vt.包含；使参与，牵涉2mysterious adj. 玄妙的；神秘的3nonsense n. 胡闹；胡说4drill n. 钻机；钻床5beefy adj. 强壮的；结实的6blonde adj. (头发)金色的文化链接根据哈利波特作者J.K.罗琳的介绍，这个故事的灵感是1991年她在从曼彻斯特到伦敦的火车上萌发出的。尽管J.K.罗琳一再说明，在开始写哈利波特系列小说时没有针对特定年龄段读者的想法，但是出版社在出版第一部的时候，显然把读者群定位在9到15岁的青少年。
