“The huge cast of characters, set against a fantastic backdrop with good doses of action, humor and fun, will surely captivate…”-Seattle Times
Knowing Harry Potter is from its movie.
At one spoken English class, I heard the name of J.K Rowling for the first time. One student mentioned it but I didn’t care much until I saw the first movie. Suddenly, naturally, I fell in love with the story between Harry Potter & his friends. At that time, there’re 4 books published. I finished reading the last 3 books in a short time. The winding story, the fanciful magic moved me deep. However, I didn’t read the first book for I’ve seen the movie already.
But this time, I’ve had the chance to read the first novel- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. There’s something different, the book I read is the English edition (it’s made in USA). I wanna talk about some feeling between Chinese edition & English edition.
First, what gives my feeling most deep is the conversation in England way between the roles, which you can never feel in Chinese edition. Of course the leader is the gamekeeper- Hagrid. Special pronunciation makes me have a headache. For example, the sentence And as for that cat, I’d like to introduce her to Fang sometimes. Do you know, every time I go up to the school, she follows me everywhere? is changed into An’as fer that cat, I’d like ter introduce her to Fang sometimes. D’yeh know, every time I go up ter the school, she follows me everywhere? Is this all right? Maybe there’s no good to people whose countries don’t take English as the first language, but it makes the English spoken countries especially the British people feel intimate. Try to think, if you meet the language of your homeland in a novel, will you feel very happy?
Of course, the abbreviation in the novel is also feature. For example, of course is changed in to ’course. The abbreviation reduces the nuisance of a sentence, makes it simply and clearly, the writer puts more words on the special language of the magic world.
Magic, fantasy are the topic of the novel, they’re the things really attract me. In Rowling’s words, modern school becomes mystical castle, heavy study becomes happy game. Maybe I can forsake all the reality away in this novel, and put myself into another world to find my dream which has been lost.
Friend ship, relative ship can not be overlooked either. The Dudleys & the magic world people, Snape & Albus Dumbledore, Malfoy & Ron, their treating to Harry are clearly different, it makes us feel the coldness & warmness between human feelings. The courage of Harry makes me admire, too.
All these things, the movie gives us direct sight, makes your eyes satisfied. The Chinese edition gives you enough room to fantasy. Because I’m poor of English words, I can’t understand the English edition quit well. But to touch the true Harry Potter in English is really wonderful. I suggest you read it if possible.
At last, I wanna thank my friend who lent me this book from the library which is open only for teachers.
认识哈里.波特是从他的电影开始的.第一次听到J.K Rowling的名字是在一节口语课上,当时有同学提及但注意不多直到看了第一部电影.很快也很自然地喜欢上了哈里.波特和他朋友的故事.当时哈里.波特的书共出了4辑,就一口气将后三本书看完.曲折的情节,奇幻的魔法深深打动了我.只是,由于看了电影,第一本就没有看.
不过,这次终于有机会看了第一本《哈里.波特和魔法石》.不过,不同的是,这次看的是英文版(是美国原装).在此就谈谈对英文版与中文版的一些感觉吧.
首先,给我感觉最深刻的,就是小说中人物对话的英国方言,这是在中文版中绝对体会不到的.代表人物当然是看门人-海瑞.独特的发音着实让我头痛了一回.比如, “And as for that cat, I'd like to introduce her to Fang sometimes. Do you know, every time I go up to the school, she follows me everywhere? ”变成了“An'as fer that cat, I'd like ter introduce her to Fang sometimes. D'yeh know, every time I go up ter the school, she follows me everywhere?” .这样好吗?或许对非英语国家的人来说不好,但使英文国家尤其是英国人倍感亲切.试想,如果在小说中读到自己家乡的语言,你会否很惊喜呢?
当然,文中的缩写也是一大特色.如“of course”变成了“'course” .这样的缩写减去了句子的累赘,简洁明快,将更多笔墨放在了魔法世界的专用语言.
魔法,幻想是本书的主题,是本书最吸引我的看点.在罗玲的笔下,现实的学校变成了神秘的城堡,繁重的学习变成了快乐的游戏.或许在这部小说中,我可以暂时抛开现实的一切,投入到另一个世界,寻觅着失去的梦.
友情,亲情也不可忽视.达西雷一家与魔法界的人物,斯内普和阿布斯.邓不利多,马尔福和罗恩,对待哈里的态度很不同,让我们感受到人情冷暖.哈里的勇气也是我所敬佩的.
这些东西,电影给你直接的视象,满足你的视觉.中文版给你足够的想象空间.由于英文词汇的缺乏,不能很好地理解英文版,但接触着英文描述的原汁原味的哈里.波特,实在是很美妙.有机会一定要看啊.
最后,感谢友人帮我从图书馆教师专借区借到了这本原版.
