JK羅琳在火車上想到了《哈利波特》系列故事的靈感
In 1990, Rowling was 25 years old when she came up with the idea for Harry Potter duirng a delayed four-hour train ride.
1990年，25歲的JK羅琳在一次晚點4小時的火車旅途中想到了《哈利波特》的靈感。
She started writing the first book that evening, but it took her years to actually finish it. While working as a secretary for the London office of Amnesty International, Rowling was fired for daydreaming too much about Harry Potter and her severance check would help her focus on writing for the next few years.
在那天晚上她開始寫第一本書，但她花了好幾年才完成這本書。羅琳曾經在國際特赦組織的倫敦辦事處當秘書，但是因為總在構思《哈利波特》的故事而被炒了魷魚，這其實讓她在接下來的幾年可以專注于寫作。
During these years, she got married, had a daughter, got divorced, and was diagnosed with clinical depression before finally finishing the book in 1995. It was published in 1997。
在這些年里，她結了婚，有了一個女兒，又離了婚，還被診斷出患有抑郁癥，最終她在1995年完成了她的作品，于1997年出版。
