The snake jerked its head towards Uncle Vernon and Dudley, then raised its eyes to the ceiling. It gave Harry a look that said quite plainly: ‘I get that all the time.’巨蟒猛地把头转向弗农姨父和达力那边，然后又抬眼看着天花板。 它的眼神显然在对哈利说：“我总是碰到像他们这样的人。” ‘I know,’ Harry murmured through the glass, though he wasn’t sure the snake could hear him. ‘It must be really annoying.’“我知道。”哈利隔着玻璃小声说，尽管他不能肯定巨蟒能否听到他说话， “那一定让你很烦。” The snake nodded vigorously.巨蟒用力点点头。 ‘Where do you come from, anyway?’ Harry asked.“别的不说，你是从哪里来的？”哈利问。 The snake jabbed its tail at a little sign next to the glass. Harry peered at it.巨蟒甩着尾巴猛地拍了一下玻璃窗上的一块小牌子。 哈利仔细看了一下。 Boa Constrictor, Brazil.蟒蛇，巴西。 ‘Was it nice there?’“那边不错吧？” The boa constrictor jabbed its tail at the sign again and Harry read on: This specimen was bred in the zoo. ‘Oh, I see – so you’ve never been to Brazil?’巨蟒又甩着尾巴猛地拍了一下那块牌子，哈利继续读道：这是本动物园内繁殖的样品。 “哦，我明白了——这么说你从来没有去过巴西？” As the snake shook its head, a deafening shout behind Harry made both of them jump. ‘DUDLEY! MR DURSLEY! COME AND LOOK AT THIS SNAKE! YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT IT’S DOING!’当巨蟒正在摇头回答时，哈利背后突然传来震耳欲聋的喊叫，哈利和巨蟒都吓了一跳。 “达力！ 德思礼先生！ 快来看这条蛇！ 你绝不会相信它在做什么！” Dudley came waddling towards them as fast as he could.达力摇摇摆摆地赶紧朝他们走过来。 ‘Out of the way, you,’ he said, punching Harry in the ribs. Caught by surprise, Harry fell hard on the concrete floor. What came next happened so fast no one saw how it happened – one second, Piers and Dudley were leaning right up close to the glass, the next, they had leapt back with howls of horror.“别挡道。” 他说，朝哈利胸口就是一拳。 哈利惊讶不已，重重地摔在水泥地上。 随后发生的事，因为来得太突然，谁也说不清楚是怎么回事。 只见皮尔和达力一下子紧贴在玻璃上，马上又惊恐万状，大喊大叫，连蹦带跳往后退去。 Harry sat up and gasped; the glass front of the boa constrictor’s tank had vanished. The great snake was uncoiling itself rapidly, slithering out on to the floor – people throughout the reptile house screamed and started running for the exits.哈利坐了起来，大口喘气；蟒蛇柜前的玻璃不见了。 巨蟒迅速地伸展开盘着的身体，溜到地板上——整个爬虫馆的人都尖叫着向出口跑去。 As the snake slid swiftly past him, Harry could have sworn a low, hissing voice said, ‘Brazil, here I come … Thanksss, amigo.’当巨蟒溜过哈利身旁时，哈利清清楚楚地听到一个咝咝的声音轻轻地说：“巴西，我来啦……多谢，我走了。” The keeper of the reptile house was in shock.爬虫馆的管理员深感震惊. 感兴趣的小伙伴们, 欢迎点赞, 关注加评论哦~~, 后面将继续为大家讲解[害羞]
