讀《哈利波特》學(xué)人物外貌表達

今天我們要來給大家分享的是J.K.Rowling小說Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone的第一章The Boy Who Lived.我們在這個章節(jié)里面要來學(xué)習(xí)的是對于人物外貌的描寫。

大家都知道，在托福的口語部分有時會讓大家描述一下自己的朋友、老師和親人，其中肯定會對外貌進行描寫。羅琳在這個章節(jié)中對不同的人物的外貌都有非常生動的描寫。

閱讀文本：

Mr. Dursley was the director of 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, spying on the neighbors.

講解：

單詞beefy意為：多肉的、粗壯的、結(jié)實的；

單詞mustache的意思是胡子，指的是嘴上的胡子，不是絡(luò)腮胡；

詞組：spent some time (on) doing sth：花XX時間做某事；

詞組：spy on：偷窺、監(jiān)視

He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man’s name was Albus Dumbledore.

講解：

單詞beard：胡子，絡(luò)腮胡、大胡子；

詞組：tuck into：卷進、塞進；

詞組：half-moon：半月形的，半圓形的；

單詞：spectacles：眼鏡、鏡片；

單詞：crooked：彎曲的；

“Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall.” He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun.

講解：

詞組：severe-looking：看起來嚴(yán)厲/嚴(yán)肅的；

單詞：emerald：翡翠、祖母綠；翠綠色的；

單詞：bun：小圓面包、圓形的發(fā)髻

He was almost twice as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild—long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets. “Hagrid,” said Dumbledore.

講解：

單詞：bushy：濃密的、多毛的；

單詞：lid：蓋子；

句型：almost twice as：幾乎是…的兩倍；
