第01期

德思礼一家

Mr. & Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.

家住女贞路4号的德思礼夫妇总是得意地说他们是非常规矩的人家。拜托~拜托了。

They were the last people you'd expect to be involvedin anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.

他们从来跟神秘古怪的事不沾边，因为他们根本不相信那些邪门歪道。

德思礼一家全家福

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.

弗农德思礼先生在一家名叫格朗宁的公司做主管，公司生产钻机。他高大魁梧，胖得几乎连脖子都没有，却蓄着一脸大胡子。

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.

德思礼太太是一个瘦削的金发女人。她的脖子几乎比正常人长一倍。这样每当她花许多时间隔着篱墙引颈而望、窥探左邻右舍时，她的长脖子可就派上了大用场。

The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

德思礼夫妇有一个小儿子，名叫达力。在他们看来，世间没有比达力更好的孩子了。
