有没有觉得英文读起来很有趣味呢，我们又学会了一个日常用语的表达方法呀，stand with your nose pressed against the glass

18. punch: to hit hard with one's hand 以拳重击

达力欺负哈利的词：

19. sb could have sworn (that) ...

used to say that someone was sure about something but now they think they were wrong 某人当时非常肯定…〔但现在却不那样认为〕:

I could have sworn I had my keys. 我明明记得我带着钥匙。

20. gibber: to speak quickly in a way that is difficult to understand, especially because you are very frightened or shocked〔尤因害怕或受惊而〕说话急促不清

21. snap: if an animal such as a dog snaps, it tries to bite you〔狗等〕咬，噬:

[+ at ]

The dog started snapping at my heels. 这条狗开始咬我的鞋跟。

snap at有好多词义，我们学过的两个，你都记住了吗？（人）怒气冲冲地说；（动物）咬，噬。上面的例句画面感好强，大家把作业里课文的例句好好看看。

22. sneak, risk doing sth

• sneak: GO SECRETLY 偷偷地走, [I always + adv / prep] to go somewhere secretly and quietly in order to avoid being seen or heard 偷偷地走，潜行，溜;

和我们之前学的creep是同义词！

• risk doing sth.

to get into a situation where something unpleasant may happen to you 担…风险，冒…的危险; ⇨ endanger

Harry lay in his dark cupboard much later, wishing he had a watch. He didn’t know what time it was and he couldn’t be sure the Dursleys were asleep yet. Until they were, he couldn’t risk sneaking to the kitchen for some food.

哈利在漆黑一片的储藏室里躺了好长时间，多希望有个手表啊。他不知道时间，没法确定德思礼一家有没有睡着。等他们睡着了，他就可以冒险，去厨房找点东西吃。

23. strain

背恋恋有词时给我的词义是扭，拉，你说记没记住，反正也会拼也会选，用不用的对，做题能不能理解就不好说了。

我们来看课文中出现的句子：

...when he strained his memory during hours in his cupboard, he came up with a strange vision...

• strain的词条里有一个表示“尽力”的意思： MAKE EFFORT 尽力
  to make an effort to do sth, using all your mental or physical strength 尽力；竭力；使劲

这样词汇书里的扭拉和这个尽力突然就能对上号了，拉啊扭啊都是费力的动作，引申到strain memory，那不就是拼命去想嘛！

例句：

I strained my ears (= listened very hard)to catch what they were saying. 我竖起耳朵去听他们在说些什么。

Necks were strained for a glimpse of the stranger. 大家伸长了脖子想看一看这个陌生人。

a dessert (= sweet dish)consisting of ice cream, fruit and cream in a tall glass

冰淇淋杯(由冰淇淋、水果和奶油做成，盛放在高杯中)

为了帮达力证明这个圣代小，操碎了心，找了好多图。

2. knuckle 指关节

rapped the glass smartly with his knuckles

作业

1. 大家翻译一下这段哈利与蛇互动的这段内心戏描写。真是越看越喜欢。

Harry moved in front of the tank and looked intently at the snake. He wouldn’t have been surprised if it had died of boredom itself – no company except stupid people drumming their fingers on the glass trying to disturb it all day long. It was worse than having a cupboard as a bedroom, where the only visitor was Aunt Petunia hammering on the door to wake you up – at least he got to visit the rest of the house.

2. snap at their heels有没有很形象？词条参见“重点词汇第21条”。

As far as Harry had seen, the snake hadn't
done anything except snap playfully at their heels as it passed, but by the time they were all back in Uncle Vernon's car, Dudley was telling them how it had nearly bitten off his leg, while Piers was swearing it had tried to squeeze him to death.

这句话并没什么难的词汇不用翻译，建议读三遍，积累一下，尝试复述出基本语句。

3. 大家提交的作业上没见你们积累单词呢，没积累的，至少挑选vocabulary中的五个抄下来词和句子，已经自觉总结的拍给我看书或者其他你们总结的地方。（病着还这么努力，看完简书给我点个赞呗～啦啦啦）
