When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair. None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window. At half past eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley good-bye but missed, because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls.
当杜斯利先生和夫人在灰暗阴沉的星期二早晨醒来时,我们的故事便开始了。虽然外面阴云密布的天空并不能预示着今天一定会有什么离奇古怪的事情发生。杜斯利先生一边哼着小曲一边拿出他最差的领带准备去上班,杜斯利夫人则一边口中叨念着一边把依依呀呀的达德里放到高椅子上去。 没有一个人注意到这时有一只巨大的褐色的猫头鹰从窗外掠过。 八点半时,杜斯利先生拿起他的公文包去上班。临行前,在杜斯刊夫人的面颊上吻了一下算是告别。他本来要在达德里脸上也亲一口的,但是因为达德里正在发脾气并且把麦片往墙上扔,便只好作罢。
