原文欣赏Smoke from the engine drifted over the heads of the chattering crowd, while cats of every color wound here and there between their legs. Owls hooted to one another in a disgruntled sort of way over the babble and the scraping of heavy trunks.
蒸汽机车喷出的汽雾在谈天说地的人群的头上聚集起来，而各色的猫儿在人们的脚旁鞋边转来转去。猫头鹰们则以一种令人不快的方式相互叫嚣着。它们的叫声压过了人们拖、拉、拍、敲沉重的皮箱时发出的噪音。

The first few carriages were already packed with students, some hanging out of the window to talk to their families, some fighting over seats. Harry pushed his cart off down the platform in search of an empty seat. He passed a round-faced boy who was saying, “Gran, I've lost my toad again.”
头几节车箱里早已挤满学生。车里的学生有的从窗子里探出头来和亲人们攀谈，有的还在为抢座位而打作一团。哈利推着小车走下站台，目光搜索着空位子。他经过一个圆脸小男孩时，正巧听到他在说："奶奶，我的癞蛤蟆又不见了。"

“Oh, Neville,” he heard the old woman sigh.
"噢，尼维尔。"一个老妇人在叹息。

A boy with dreadlocks was surrounded by a small crowd.
一个扎着发给的男孩被一小堆人围着。

“Give us a look, Lee, go on.”
"李，给我们看看嘛。"

The boy lifted the lid of a box in his arms, and the people around him shrieked and yelled as something inside poked out a long, hairy leg.
那男孩掀起手中一个盒子的盖子，从里面伸出一条毛茸茸的长脚。旁观者见状，不禁尖叫起来。

Harry pressed on through the crowd until he found an empty compartment near the end of the train. He put Hedwig inside first and then started to shove and heave his trunk toward the train door. He tried to lift it up the steps but could hardly raise one end and twice he dropped it painfully on his foot.
哈利继续在拥挤的人群中艰难前行，他在列车尾部终于找到了一个没人的包厢。他先将海维放了进去，然后拖着他那沉重的大皮箱朝车门走去。他使尽全力想将皮箱提上车门梯，但他甚至连箱子的一端都抬不起，他的脚还被皮箱重重地砸了两次。

“Want a hand?” It was one of the red-haired twins he'd followed through the barrier.
"要帮忙吗？"说话的是带领哈利穿越车票箱的红发孪生兄弟中的一个。

“Yes, please,” Harry panted.
"噢，是的。"哈利此时已经气喘吁吁了。

“Oy, Fred! C'mere and help!”
"哎，弗来德，快来帮忙啊."

hang 的用法

· hang - hung- hung 悬挂
· hang - hanged- hanged 绞死, 上吊.

告诉你一个窍门，你可以这样记忆. 上吊需要一把椅子，hanged后面的ed就像一把椅子一样，这样记住，就不会混淆.

例1: I'm hanging this picture on the wall. 我正在把这幅画挂到墙上。

例2: The man was hanged for murder. 那男子因谋杀罪被处绞刑。

知识讲解

Hang 作"悬挂”讲时, 可以表示被悬挂到哪 或 “悬挂” 的状态。请比较：

My coat is hung over there. 我的外套被挂到了那里。

My coat is hanging over there. 我的外套正挂在那里。

现在分词hanging表达正在进行着的动作。表示现在的状态，还在外面挂着，是一个持续的状态。

过去分词hung表示被动或完成的动作。表示衬衫被挂在了外面，主要是强调，衬衫被挂在外面这个动作，并且已经完成了这个动作。
