阅读文本：

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. 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.

讲解：

单词beefy意为：多肉的、粗壮的、结实的；

单词mustache的意思是胡子，指的是嘴上的胡子，不是络腮胡；

词组：spent some time (on) doing sth：花XX时间做某事；

词组：spy on：偷窥、监视

He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man’s name was Albus Dumbledore.

讲解：

单词beard：胡子，络腮胡、大胡子；

词组：tuck into：卷进、塞进；

词组：half-moon：半月形的，半圆形的；

单词：spectacles：眼镜、镜片；

单词：crooked：弯曲的；

“Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall.” He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun.

讲解：

词组：severe-looking：看起来严厉/严肃的；

单词：emerald：翡翠、祖母绿；翠绿色的；

单词：bun：小圆面包、圆形的发髻

He was almost twice as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild—long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets. “Hagrid,” said Dumbledore.

讲解：

单词：bushy：浓密的、多毛的；

单词：lid：盖子；

句型：almost twice as：几乎是…的两倍；
