哈利·波特与阿兹卡班的囚徒

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

第一章 猫头鹰送来的礼物

Chapter 1. A Delivery from Owls

哈利·波特与大多数男孩不同。他是个巫师，也是霍格沃茨魔法学校的学生。

Harry Potter is not like most boys. He is a wizard and a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

他热爱霍格沃茨。那是唯一让他感到快乐的地方，也是唯一让他感到归属的地方。

He loves Hogwarts. It is the only place where he feels happy. And it is the only place where he feels he belongs.

但现在是暑假，哈利不在学校。他在姨父姨妈家。

But now it is summer, and Harry is not at school. He is at his aunt and uncle's house.

他讨厌暑假，因为他想念他的学校。他想念最爱的魁地奇比赛。最重要的是，他想念他最好的朋友罗恩和赫敏。

He hates summer because he misses his school. He misses his favorite game, Quidditch. And most of all, he misses his best friends, Ron and Hermione.

哈利比同龄人又瘦又小，但过去一年里他长高了一些。他有着凌乱的黑头发、绿色的眼睛，戴着圆圆的眼镜。他的额头上有一道细细的伤疤。

Harry is small and thin for his age, but he has grown a little in the last year. He has messy black hair, green eyes, and round glasses. There is a thin scar on his forehead.

哈利和他的姨父弗农、姨妈佩妮，还有他们的儿子达力一起生活。他们是哈利唯一在世的家人。但他们却并不像家人。

Harry lives with his uncle Vernon, aunt Petunia, and their son Dudley. They are his only living family. But they are not.

他们对他一点也不好。他们很刻薄。

They are not kind to him. They are cruel.

哈利的父母曾是巫师。但德思礼一家从不谈论他们。他们不喜欢任何奇怪或魔法的东西。

Harry's parents were a witch and a wizard. But the Dursleys never talk about them. They do not like anything strange or magical.

因为他们讨厌魔法，他们拿走了哈利的魔法书。他们把他的书、魔药和飞天扫帚锁在楼梯下的小房间里。

Because they hate magic, they have taken away Harry's magic books. They have locked his books, potions, and broomstick in a small room under the stairs.

暑假期间哈利不能学习魔法。但他必须做魔药课的作业。斯内普教授教授魔药课，哈利不喜欢斯内普。

Harry cannot study magic during the summer, but he must do homework for his potions class. Professor Snape teaches potions class. Harry does not like Snape.

一天，哈利偷偷打开了小房间的门。他没有钥匙，所以他撬开了锁。他拿出一些书，把它们藏在自己的房间里。

One day, Harry secretly opens the door to the small room. He does not have the key, so he picks the lock. He takes some of his books and hides them in his room.
