豹豹喊你一起读纳尼亚第四章啦！
这一章可好玩了，主要是爱德蒙遇到了传说中的白女巫，女巫本想除掉他，却若有所思换了主意。爱德蒙这个坏小子应该果然会被利用吧，里面出现了很好吃很好吃的土耳其软糖，Turkish Delight 也是本章标题。以下豹豹的个人笔记或许会与大家阅读中的重点有所出入，毕竟每个人侧重不同，仅做参考。
Are you a great overgrown dwarf that has cut off its beard?
你是一个长得过高剪了胡子的矮人吗？
overgrown 是指长得过大的，杂草丛生的，豹豹第一次见这个词是在鬼妈妈Coraline中见到的，说的是花园蔓草连绵
eg. And so I found myself back in the overgrown garden in the bright daylight.
I never had a beard, I’m a boy.
作为一把胡子，have a beard.可数
泛指胡须则不可数,a week's growth of beard
一星期未刮的胡子，牛津词典里只给出c,u未过多解释，柯林斯直接作为了c可数，网上基本就是之上豹豹提到的。
Answer me, once and for all, or I shall lose my patience. Are you human?
once and for all, phr.最终地，彻底地
“Ha!” said the Queen, speaking more to herself than to him. ...“ I have heard of such things. This may wreck all. But he is only one, and he is easily dealt with.”
更像是对自己说，hear of 听说
hear from更常用一些，表示receive a letter from
deal with处理
This may wreck all. 这(指爱德蒙的出现)或许会坏了我的事
“My poor child,” she said in quite a different voice,
很有意思，quite a /an +n.
quite a nice day而不能说a quite nice day这里的有声书应该是读太快口误了，把它们颠倒了。
quite 有两种意思，一less than very ,more than a litte =fairly 也就是本文用法，
二 completely 可以＋很多的形容词，也可以修饰动词
The witch was quite different from what she had done beore.
I quite agree with you.
Perhaps something hot to drink?
sth.+adj.
eg. I'd like water hot .(Hot water please.)
It was something he had never tasted before, very sweet and foamy and creamy, and it warmed him right down to his toes.
哇！这一段豹豹好想喝热可可，写得每一个舌蕾细胞都在跳动。
It was that强调句
right down to his toes从头到脚暖和和的。
“Turkish Delight, please, your Majesty,” said Edmund.
土耳其软糖，Lokum(给喉咙的安慰)甜美之极，吃一颗要喝两杯水
Each piece was sweet and light to the very center and Edmund had never tasted anything more delicious.
吃到中间香甜轻盈松软极了。center是指夹心。正好今天豹豹在看查理和巧克力工厂中爷爷看到查理的奖券后眼中间也冒星星
his eyes were wide open, shining with joy, and in the centre of each eye, right in the very centre, in the black pupil, a little spark of wild excitement was slowly dancing.
black pupil 黑色瞳孔(pupil不仅指小学生)
At first Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one’s mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, ...
开始还能有所收敛，后面就不管不顾了。shovel小铲车一样，太形象了
这里教授告诉我们吃东西的时候说话是很粗鲁的，想起了Ron...
"You've seen Snape? How come?" said Ron between frenzied mouthfuls of gateau.
“你看见斯内普了？怎么会呢？”罗恩狼吞虎咽地吃着蛋糕，问道。
the more he ate the more he wanted to eat,
We use the...the...(with two comparatives 比较级)to say that one thing depends on another.
eg.The sooner we leave, the sooner we will arrive.
I can’t do it now, the magic will only work once. In my own house it would be another matter.
起作用用work即可，be another matter就是另一回事了
I am sure you would like it. There are whole rooms full of Turkish Delight, and what’s more, I have no children of my own. I want a nice boy whom I could bring up as a Prince and who would be King of Narnia when I am gone.
would like 很委婉很礼貌
I have no children of my own.我没有孩子这么说，the only child in one's family独生子女
King of Narnia不加任何修饰词，纳尼亚国王，在爱德华奇妙之旅里有一个很有意思的人，每天早晨要跑到爱德华被遗弃的垃圾堆大喊，Who am I ?I'm Ernest, Ernest who is king of the world.为什么他是世界之王，因为他说他是垃圾之王-king of garbages ,而garbages is what the world made of.豹豹觉得很有道理，而在泰坦尼克号里小李子大喊I am the king of the world.豹豹查了查一般是不加the的。至于电影为什么有，或许是强调？疑问先放这吧。
I very much want to know your charming relations. You are to be the Prince and—later on—the King; that is understood. But you must have courtiers and nobles.
your charming relations就是亲属了，
公爵Duke(Duchess)、
侯爵Marquis(Marchioness)、
伯爵Earl(Countess)、
子爵Viscount(Viscountess)、
男爵Baron(Baroness)
就是我们常说的公侯伯子男，可以作为一个知识点扩充，认识即可。
It is no good coming without them.
他们不来可是不行的，It is no good doing之前出现过，等同于it is no use doing /there is no point in doing
you needn’t tell them about me. It would be fun to keep it a secret between us two, wouldn’t it?
needn't do还可以说doesn't/don't need to 所以也可以说you don't need to tell them...
另外needn't 还等于 don't have to
但牢记we say 'don't need to do', but needn't do(without to)
between us two让豹豹不合时宜想起了一句诗: Eternal love between us two, Shall withstand the time apart
哈哈，就是两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮
And she has made a magic so that it is always winter in Narnia—always winter, but it never gets to Christmas.
这里面magic应该是不可数，不能＋a 可以是a spell什么的。查了几个词典均给出不可数，前面的修饰词均是any my the 之类
“Who told you all that stuff about the White Witch?” he asked.
关于女巫那些事谁说的,stuff和thing差别不大，最主要就是stuff不可数，一般口语中常用，xxxxstuff....相关的事，thing可数则常用things来说那些事。
eg. I’ve got plenty of things / stuff to do.
“Who said so?” asked Lucy.
“Everyone knows it,” said Edmund; “ask anybody you like. But it’s pretty poor sport standing here in the snow. Let’s go home.”
这里又出现了你找个人随便问问，之前在查理中出现过。
poor sport指一个是体育不好，一个是小气，不大度，哈利波特中出现过unsporting就是指没什么到的精神(尤其是体育竞技中)
Harry hung back, with a vague feeling it would be unsporting to bewitch Malfoy while he was on the floor, but this was a mistake; gasping for breath, Malfoy pointed his wand at Harry's knees, choked," Tarantallegra!" and the next second Harry's legs began to jerk around out of his control in a kind of quickstep.
所以这里应该是像呆鹅一样现在冰冷的雪地中的这种行为。
给出的译文是:
“大家都知道，”爱德蒙说，“随你问哪一个都行。但是，冒雪站在这儿有什么好玩的，我们还是回去吧。”
这一章就这样结束吧,What a lot I shall have to summarize but it's too late ,so that's all for today.
关于ving连接从句这一章其实出现了很多，但是豹豹能理解但不知道怎么讲，尤其是中文的语法一大堆解释非常让人头疼。英文的语法来讲要举很多的例子，能力感觉还达不到(别笑我，我是认真的)。讲清晰原来也是个力气活，回头好好梳理之后再说，如果讲不清楚豹豹宁愿先放在那里，算是个人原则之一吧~
第四章就这样结束吧。
另，第三章音频讲解已出炉，有兴趣的可围观。
