Chapter 2 Aunt Marge's Big Mistake
第二章 瑪姬姑媽的大錯誤
Harry went down to breakfast next morning to find the three Dursleys already sitting around the kitchen table.
第二天早上，哈利下樓去吃早飯，這時他發現德思禮一家三口都已經坐在廚房的飯桌旁了。
They were watching a brand-new television, a welcome-home-for-the-summer present for Dudley,
他們正在看一臺嶄新的電視機，這是為歡迎達力回家過暑假而買給他的禮物，
who had been complaining loudly about the long walk between the fridge and the television in the living room.
達力一直在大聲抱怨，說起居室里的冰箱離電視機太遠了。
Dudley had spent most of the summer in the kitchen,
在夏季的大部分時間，達力都泡在廚房里，
his piggy little eyes fixed on the screen and his five chins wobbling as he ate continually.
他那雙貪婪的小眼睛盯著電視機的熒屏，一面不斷地吃東西，那五層下巴不斷地顫動。
Harry sat down between Dudley and Uncle Vernon, a large, beefy man with very little neck and a lot of moustache.
哈利在達力和弗農姨父之間坐了下來。弗農姨父是個粗壯的大個子，脖子很短，唇髭很重。
Far from wishing Harry a happy birthday, none of the Dursleys gave any sign that they had noticed Harry enter the room,
德思禮一家人不但沒有祝哈利生日快樂，而且根本沒有表示出他們看見哈利走進廚房來了，
but Harry was far too used to this to care.
但哈利對這種冷淡早已習以為常。
He helped himself to a piece of toast and then looked up at the newsreader on the television,
他自己拿了一片吐司，然后看看電視上的新聞播音員，
who was halfway through a report on an escaped convict.
那播音員正在播報一名在逃罪犯的新聞，正說到了一半。
'... the public is warned that Black is armed and extremely dangerous.
“……公眾必須注意布萊克帶有武器，極其危險。
A special hotline has been set up, and any sighting of Black should be reported immediately.'
已經特地設了一條熱線，誰知道布萊克的蹤跡，必須馬上報告。”
'No need to tell us he's no good,' snorted Uncle Vernon, staring over the top of his newspaper at the prisoner.
“不用告訴我們他不懷好意，”弗農姨父哼著鼻子說，眼睛越過他正看著的報紙上方瞪著那名犯人，
'Look at the state of him, the filthy layabout! Look at his hair!'
“瞧他那德性，一副臟相！看他那頭發！”
