原文赏析Harry wished he had about eight more eyes. He turned his head in every direction as they walked up the street, trying to look at everything at once: the shops, the things outside them, the people doing their shopping. A plump woman outside an Apothecary was shaking her head as they passed, saying, “Dragon liver, seventeen Sickles an ounce, they're mad…”
哈利真希望自己多长八只眼睛。当他们走在街道上时，他的头不停的向四处转动，想把所有的东西一下子尽收眼底，店铺、铺子外面的东西，以及那些在购物的人们，一个非常丰满的妇女站在药房外，使劲晃动地的脑袋，大声叫卖："蜥蜴肝脏，每盎司十七西可……"

A low, soft hooting came from a dark shop with a sign saying Eeylops Owl Emporium — Tawny, Screech, Barn, Brown, and Snowy. Several boys of about Harry's age had their noses pressed against a window with broomsticks in it. “Look,” Harry heard one of them say, “the new Nimbus Two Thousand — fastest ever — ” There were shops selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments Harry had never seen before, windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels’ eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills, and rolls of parchment, potion bottles, globes of the moon…
一个低沉，柔和的袅叫声从一间昏暗的店铺里传来，那店铺的招牌上写着：猫头鹰出租中心——黄褐色的、红褐色的、全棕色的、棕褐毛的、雪白的，许多年纪与哈利相仿的男孩子把他们的鼻子紧紧压在橱窗上，窗户里面是他们梦寐以求的魔法扫帚。"看哪！"哈利听到其中一个在说："新的'灵光2000'——是最快的。"还有许多店铺卖法衣、望远镜以及哈利以前从未见过的奇怪的银具，橱窗里还堆积着一桶桶的蝙蝠脾脏和鳗鱼眼睛，摇摇欲坠的成堆的咒语书，一卷卷的羊皮纸、药瓶、以及各种各样的月球仪。

“Gringotts,” said Hagrid.
"这就是古灵阁！"海格说。

They had reached a snowy white building that towered over the other little shops. Standing beside its burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold, was —
他们到了一座雪白色的建筑物前面，这座房子比周围的小店要高出许多。站在泛着光泽的青铜色大门的旁边穿着深红色和金黄色制服的就是——

“Yeah, that's a goblin,” said Hagrid quietly as they walked up the white stone steps toward him. The goblin was about a head shorter than Harry. He had a swarthy, clever face, a pointed beard and, Harry noticed, very long fingers and feet. He bowed as they walked inside. Now they were facing a second pair of doors, silver this time, with words engraved upon them:
"啊，那就是妖精了。"海格轻声的说，同时跨上白色的石阶向妖精走过去。那个妖精大约比哈利矮一个头，他有一张黑黝黝的机灵的面庞，尖尖的胡须，而且哈利注意到他的手指和脚十分长。 当他们走进去的时候，妖精向他们鞠了一躬。现在他们面对着第二扇门了，银色的，上面还刻了一些字：

Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
请进，陌生人，但请留心贪婪的后果。
对于那些只知索取，不懂付出的人，一定会得到最严厉的报应。
所以如果你是来寻找藏在地底下的而不属于你的财富。
窃贼，那么你得当心找到比财宝更多的东西。

“Like I said, Yeh'd be mad ter try an' rob it,” said Hagrid.
"就像我所说的，如果你试着去抢劫它，那真是发疯了。"海格说。

A pair of goblins bowed them through the silver doors and they were in a vast marble hall. About a hundred more goblins were sitting on high stools behind a long counter, scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins in brass scales, examining precious stones through eyeglasses. There were too many doors to count leading off the hall, and yet more goblins were showing people in and out of these. Hagrid and Harry made for the counter.
当他们穿过银门时又有两位妖精向他们鞠躬。接下来他们就到了一座全部由大理石铺成的大厅，里面大约有一百多个妖精坐在柜台后面的高脚凳上，潦草地登记帐本、用黄铜天平称硬币重量，通过放大镜仔细研究那些珍贵的宝石。通往这一大厅的门多得数不过来，但有更多的妖精带领人们出入这些门，海格和哈利直向柜台走过去。

yet 用法汇总

1.yet用在否定或疑问句中，表示“尚，还是，仍然，依然”的意思。一般常出现在完成时态中，位于句尾。例如：
Have you got the ticket yet?你买到票了吗？
She hasn't read the book yet.他还没有读过那本书。

2.在主句中wonder(从句是whether或if引导)，not think(suppose, believe)等引导的宾语从句复合句中，一般否定意义实际上是在从句中，这时仍然用yet。

例如：I don't think they have agreed with us yet.我认为我们尚未取得一致的看法。
I wonder whether /if he has yet talked about it with you.我不知道他已同你谈过那件事没有。

3.yet还可用在肯定句中，有以下几种情况：
(1) 表示惊叹或感慨。
例如：Be thankful you are yet alive.你该为了你仍然活着而感恩。
This problem is yet more difficult than you imagined .这个问题比你原来想象的还难得多呢。
(2) 表示判断或推测。
例如：The enemy may win yet if we relax our efforts.如果我们不努力，敌人迟早会获胜的。
(3)表示“还要，再，更”的递进语义。（这时用still更为常见。）
例如：We must practise yet more often.我们还得更加经常练习。
(4) yet可作连词，意为“可是，然而，却……”。
例如：My room is small ,yet very comfortable.我的房间虽小，但很舒适。You can draw a good horse in five minutes ,yet you kept me waiting for a year?你能在五分钟内画一匹好马，然而你让我等了一年。
