【原文】
The Dursleys were what wizards called Muggles (not a drop of magical blood in their veins) and as far as they were concerned, having a wizard in the family was a matter of deepest shame. Uncle Vernon had even padlocked Harry's owl, Hedwig, inside her cage, to stop her carrying messages to anyone in the wizarding world.
Harry looked nothing like the rest of the family. Uncle Vernon was large and neckless, with an enormous black moustache; Aunt Petunia was horse-faced and bony; Dudley was blond, pink and porky. Harry, on the other hand, was small and skinny, with brilliant green eyes and jet-black hair that was always untidy. He wore round glasses, and on his forehead was a thin, lightning-shaped scar.
It was this scar that made Harry so particularly unusual even for a wizard. This scar was the only hint of Harry's very mysterious past, of the reason he had been left on the Dursleys’ doorstep eleven years before.
At the age of one, Harry had somehow survived a curse from the greatest dark sorcerer of all time, Lord Voldemort, whose name most witches and wizards still feared to speak. Harry's parents had died in Voldemort's attack, but Harry had escaped with his lightning scar, and somehow -- nobody understood why -- Voldemort's powers had been destroyed the instant he had failed to kill Harry.
So Harry had been brought up by his dead mother's sister and her husband. He had spent ten years with the Dursleys, never understanding why he kept making odd things happen without meaning to, believing the Dursley’s story that he had got his scar in the car crash which had killed his parents.
【翻译】
德思礼一家是巫师们所说的麻瓜(他们血管里没有一滴魔法血液),而在他们看来,家里出了一个巫师是最丢人的事。弗农姨父甚至用挂锁把哈利的猫头鹰海德薇锁在笼子里,不让它给魔法世界的任何人送信。
哈利和家里其他人长得一点都不像。弗农姨父身材高大,没有脖子,留着浓密的黑色小胡子;佩妮姨妈长着马脸,骨瘦如柴;达力则一头金发,面色红润,体型肥胖。相反,哈利身材瘦小,长着一双明亮的绿眼睛和一头总是乱蓬蓬的乌黑头发。他戴着圆框眼镜,额头上有一道细细的、闪电形状的伤疤。
正是这道伤疤让哈利即使在巫师中也显得格外与众不同。这道伤疤是哈利神秘过往的唯一线索,也是十一年前他被留在德思礼家门口的原因。
哈利一岁时,不知怎的从有史以来最强大的黑巫师——伏地魔的诅咒中活了下来。直到现在,大多数巫师仍然不敢说出伏地魔的名字。哈利的父母在伏地魔的袭击中丧生,但哈利带着闪电伤疤逃脱了。而且不知为何——没人明白原因——伏地魔没能杀死哈利的那一刻,他的力量就被摧毁了。
于是,哈利被他已故母亲的姐姐和姐夫收养。他在德思礼家生活了十年,始终不明白为什么自己总会无意中做出一些奇怪的事情,还相信德思礼一家的说辞,以为自己的伤疤是父母车祸去世时留下的。
