Module 2　Fantasy Literature《哈利·波特》是英国作家J·K·罗琳的魔幻文学系列小说,自问世以来深受欢迎,被译成67国文字并搬上银幕,成为最畅销小说和最受欢迎的影片。阅读下面的文字,让我们一起走进哈利·波特的魔法世界吧!Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by the British author J.K.Rowling.Harry Potter,an orphan,discovers at the age of eleven that he is a wizard1,living within the ordinary world of non-magical people,known as Muggles(泛指没有魔法能力的一般人).His ability is inborn,and such children are invited to attend an exclusive2 magic school that teaches the necessary skills to succeed in the wizarding world.Harry becomes a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,and it is here where most of the events in the series take place.As Harry grows,he learns to overcome the problems that face him: magical,social and emotional,including ordinary teenage challenges such as friendships and exams,and the greater test of preparing himself for the confrontation in the real world that lies ahead.The environment Rowling created is completely separate from reality yet also connected to it.When the first novel of the series,Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone(published in some countries as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone),opens it is obvious that some significant event has taken place in the wizarding world—an event so very remarkable,even the Muggles notice signs of it.The full background to this event and Harry Potter’s past is revealed3 gradually through the series.After the introductory chapter,the book leaps forward to a time shortly before Harry Potter’s eleventh birthday,and it is at this point that his magical background begins to be revealed.单词注释1.wizard n. 魔法师2.exclusive adj.高级的3.reveal v.显露,揭露难句剖析Harry Potter,an orphan,discovers at the age of eleven that he is a wizard,living within the ordinary world of non-magical people,known as Muggles.译文:哈利·波特是个孤儿,11岁的时候发现自己是个魔法师,生活在一个没有魔法人的普通世界。他们就是众所周知的麻瓜。本句中an orphan是同位语,来解释说明Harry Potter的身份,at the age of eleven是时间状语,动词discovers后面的that从句是宾语从句。living是动词-ing形式作状语,句子后半部分known as Muggles是过去分词短
