Do you think that was a centaur we heard earlier? said Harry.
“你说，我们先前听见的动静会不会也是一个马人？”哈利问。
Did that sound like hooves to you? Nah, if yeh ask me, that was what's bin killin' the unicorns — never heard anythin' like it before.
“你觉得那像是马蹄声吗？如果你问我的话，我认为不是，那就是杀死独角兽的家伙——那种声音我以前从来没有听见过。”
They walked on through the dense, dark trees. Harry kept looking nervously over his shoulder.
他们继续在茂密、漆黑的树林间穿行。哈利总是紧张地扭头张望。

可是，刚拐过小路上的一个弯道，赫敏突然一把抓住海格的胳膊。
Hagrid! Look! Red sparks, the others are in trouble!
“海格！快看！红色火花，其他人有麻烦了！”
You two wait here! Hagrid shouted. Stay on the path, I'll come back for yeh!

They heard him crashing away through the undergrowth and stood looking at each other, very scared,

until they couldn't hear anything but the rustling of leaves around them.
渐渐地，海格走远了，他们只能听见周围树叶在风中沙沙作响的声音。
You don't think they've been hurt, do you? whispered Hermione.
“你说，他们不会受伤吧，嗯？”赫敏小声问道。
I don't care if Malfoy has, but if something's got Neville... it's our fault he's here in the first place.
马尔福受伤我倒是不在乎，不过如果纳威受伤的话......他可是因为我们才来这里受罚的。

重点讲解
一.hear：v.得知, 倾听, 听到, 听证
【语法用法】
hear同see，watch，feel，notice等感观动词一样，其宾语后所接的不定式不含to。
I often hear her sing.
我常听到她唱歌。
但是，hear用于被动语态时，不定式中要含to。
She is often heard to sing.
hear的宾语后既可接不定式，也可接动名词，但是在表示“故意听……”时，只能用不定式。
I often hear her sing.
I often hear her singing.
hear him表示“听见他”，不管是听到讲话，唱歌，读书等，均可；
hear of sb表示“听说过某人”，不一定用耳朵去听，在报道上看到的也可以。
I have heard of the hero through the press.
我曾在报刊上读到过这个英雄。
hear from可表示“收到……寄来的信”，后可接表示人或地方的词。
I hear from him every week.
I have not heard from England for several months.
要注意的是，在回信时，开首提及收到对方的信，习惯上用receive your letter来代替hear from you。
hear from ... that/how等不一定表示“收到……的信”，可以是“听说”等其他含义。
I have heard from your father that you are in Beijing.
hear的宾语后有时可接过去分词。
I have often heard you spoken of as a model student.
hear同listen的比较：hear一般指听到一些东西进入到我们的耳朵里，而listen一般用于去注意一些声响，这些声响是进行中的。
You can hear something without wanting to, but you can only listen to something deliberately.
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句: I heard him to start the car and drive away quickly.
订正: I heard him start the car and drive away quickly.
翻译: 我听到他发动汽车的声音了，很快就开走了。
分析: hear同see，watch，feel，notice等感观动词一样，其宾语后所接的不定式不含to。
【例句用法】
I can't let you pay my debts I won't hear of such a thing.
我不能让你替我还债－－我不同意此事。
I've only just heard about his dismissal.
我刚听到他遭解雇的事。
二.pick up：捡起；获得；收拾
e.g.:With this in mind, the next time you need a bit of time to yourself, pick up a book.
记住这个方法，下次当你需要一点自我放松的时间时，你则可以挑选一本书来阅读。
