12. The Mirror of Erised

The mirror of erised

소망의 거울 줄거리
크리스마스가 다가오는 연휴 전 해리포터와 아이들은 도서관에서 니콜라스 플라멜에 대해 조사하기로 했다. 해그리드가 말렸지만 해그리드를 뒤로하고 서둘러 도서관으로 향했다. 해리는 제한구역에서 플라멜에 관련된 책이 있지 않을까 생각했다. 유감스럽게도 제한구역에 있는 책들을 보려면 선생의 특별 서명이 필요했다. 제한구역의 책은 고급 어둠의 마법 방어법을 공부하는 고학년들만 볼 수 있었다. 사서인 핀스 선생이 무엇을 찾고있냐고 해리에게 물었지만 해리는 대답하지 못 해 쫓겨났다.

연휴가 시작되고 헤르미온느는 부모님이 있는 집으로 갔고 론과 해리포터는 플라멜이 누군지에 대해 조사하기로 약속했다. 하지만 연휴가 시작되고 즐길 게 너무 많아 남자들은 플라멜 생각을 할 겨름이 없었다.

크리스마스 이브 침대 발치 밑에서 해리는 선물을 발견했다. 해그리드가 준 피리와 피튜니아 이모의 50펜스 짜리 동전 그리고 미상으로부터 온 아빠의 물건 투명 망토가 있었다. 크리스마스 만찬 후 투명 망토를 쓰고 제한 구역에 접근한 해리는 플라멜에 관한 책을 찾는다. 검은색과 은색으로 된 커다란 책을 펼치는 순간 고막을 찢을 듯한 소리가 나왔다. 너무 놀라 넘어져서 등불을 꺼뜨린 바람에 필치가 스네이프에게 밤 제한구역에 누군가가 돌아다닌다고 보고한다. 필치와 스네이프를 가까스로 피해 어떤 방으로 들어가게 된다. 그곳에서 소망의 거울을 발견하게 된다. 해리는 돌아가신 부모님을 보았고 이 사실을 론에게 알린 후 다음 날 론과 함께 소망의 거울로 향한다. 하지만 론에게는 해리의 가족이 보이지 않았고 론은 남학생 회장으로 보였고 기숙사 우승컵을 들고 있고 퀴디치 주장이 되었다. 또 다른 날 론은 해리에게 소망의 거울을 보러 가지 말라고 말렸지만 해리는 끝내 가게 되었다. 덤블도어가 있었고 꿈에 사로 잡혀 삶을 잊지 말라고 조언해준다.

    "Run across": This expression suggests a chance encounter or coming across something unexpectedly. It often implies that the encounterwas not planned or anticipated. For example, "I ran across an old friend at the grocery store."
    
    "Bump into": This expression also denotes an unexpected encounter, but it often carries a sense of physical contact or collision. It implies a more literal bumping or meeting, as if two objects or people accidentally collided. For example, "I bumped into my neighbor while walking my dog."
    
    In the context of the sentence you provided, "run across it" suggests a chance encounter with the Mirror, while "bump into it" would imply accidentally physically colliding with the Mirror, which may not be the intended meaning in this context.
43. It was only when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful. But then, he thought, as he shoved Scabbers off his pillow, it had been quite a personal question. 침대로 돌아왔을 때 덤그러나 해리가 , 스캐버스를 베개에서 들어서 옮길 때, 그 질문이 꽤나 개인적이 었다고 생각했다.

---

3. before
In the sentence you provided, "before" means "in front of" or "prior to." The phrase "their breath rose in a mist before them" suggests that the mist formed by their breath was in front of them, likely because of the cold air meeting the warmth of their bodies or the cauldrons. It emphasizes the visual image of the mist forming as they exhale.

10. Once the holidays had started, Ron and Harry were having too good a time to think much about Flamel
vs having too a good time to think much about Flamel
The difference between the two sentences lies in the placement of the word "good" and the inclusion of the article "a."
"Ron and Harry were having too good a time to think much about Flamel.""Ron and Harry were having too a good time to think much about Flamel."

The first sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the structure "too [adjective] a [noun]" to convey that Ron and Harry were having a very enjoyable time, to the extent that they weren't thinking much about Flamel.

The second sentence is not grammatically correct. It lacks the proper structure for expressing the idea. The inclusion of "a" before "good" is necessary for the sentence to be grammatically correct. So, the second sentence would need to be revised to something like the first one to convey the intended meaning.

14. Taped to the note was a fifty-pence piece. vs A fifty-pence piece was taped to the note.
Both sentences convey the same basic information, but they differ in their emphasis and structure.

"Taped to the note was a fifty-pence piece" places emphasis on the fifty-pence piece. This construction is often used for emphasis or to introduce new information. It draws attention to the fact that a fifty-pence piece was attached to the note.

"A fifty-pence piece was taped to the note" is a more straightforward sentence structure. It simply states that a fifty-pence piece was attached to the note without placing particular emphasis on any specific element.

15. A) slither vs B) slide

1. Slither: This verb typically refers to a smooth, sinuous, or twisting motion, often associated with snakes or other creatures that move close to the ground. When something slithers, it moves smoothly and quietly, usually in a manner that appears sleek or slippery. It often involves a sense of undulating or writhing movement.
2. Slide: This verb generally means to move smoothly along a surface, typically with little or no friction. It implies a movement that is more linear or straightforward compared to the sinuous motion of "slither." When something slides, it typically moves in a straight line or along a path with a gentle slope. It may involve slipping or gliding without necessarily implying the twisting or writhing motion associated with "slither."

In summary, while both verbs involve movement, "slither" suggests a sinuous, twisting motion, often associated with creatures like snakes, while "slide" implies a smoother, more linear movement along a surface.

20. A) Yet vs B) However
A) It had been Harry's best Christmas day ever. Yet something had been nagging at the back of his mind all day.
B) It had been Harry's best Christmas day ever. However, something had been nagging at the back of his mind all day.

In summary, both sentences introduce a contrast between Harry's joyful Christmas day and the nagging feeling, but sentence A with "yet" emphasizes the unexpectedness or contradiction more strongly than sentence B with "however."

20. A) whoever vs B) who
A) Not until he climbed into bed was he free to think about it: the invisibility cloak and whoever had sent it.
B) Not until he climbed into bed was he free to think about it: the invisibility cloak and who had sent it.

In sentence A, "whoever" is used. This suggests an open-ended or unspecified person who might have sent the invisibility cloak. It implies that the identity of the sender is unknown or could be any person.

In sentence B, "who" is used. This implies a specific person or a limited set of individuals who might have sent the invisibility cloak. It suggests that the identity of the sender is known or can be inferred from the context.

So, the difference between A and B lies in the level of specificity regarding the identity of the sender of the invisibility cloak. Sentence A suggests a broader range of possibilities with "whoever," while sentence B suggests a more specific or known identity with "who."


30. A) any old time vs B) any time

1. A) "You can see them any old time," said Ron. "Just come round my house this summer." In this sentence, the phrase "any old time" is colloquial and informal. It implies that the timing is flexible and not particularly important. Ron is suggesting that you can visit whenever it's convenient, without any specific schedule or restriction. It carries a sense of informality and ease.
2. B) "You can see them any time," said Ron. "Just come round my house this summer." In contrast, the phrase "any time" in this sentence is more neutral and standard. It still suggests flexibility regarding when you can visit, but it lacks the informal tone of "any old time." It's a common expression indicating that the timing is open-ended and up to the visitor to decide.

Overall, sentence A with "any old time" is more casual and informal, while sentence B with "any time" is more neutral and standard in its tone. Both convey the idea that the timing of the visit is flexible.

31. A) put an end vs B) finish

1. A) "A sudden noise outside in the corridor put an end to their discussion."

• In sentence A, the phrase "put an end to" is used idiomatically to indicate that the sudden noise outside interrupted or stopped their discussion abruptly. It implies that the discussion was terminated because of the noise.

2. B) "A sudden noise outside in the corridor finishes their discussion."

• In sentence B, the verb "finishes" is used to suggest that the sudden noise outside somehow concludes or completes their discussion. However, this usage might seem unusual or illogical because it's typically the action of the noise interrupting or ending the discussion, rather than finishing it in a positive sense.

Overall, sentence A with "put an end to" is the more commonly used and idiomatic expression to convey that the noise interrupted or ended the discussion, while sentence B with "finishes" might be perceived as less natural or appropriate in this context.

+ which means "to finsih" sounds positive than negative?

"Finishing" typically carries a positive connotation, suggesting completion or accomplishment. When something is finished, it implies that a task or activity has been successfully concluded or brought to an end.

However, in the context of the sentence "A sudden noise outside in the corridor finishes their discussion," using "finishes" to describe the sudden noise's effect on the discussion might seem somewhat awkward or illogical. This is because a sudden noise would usually interrupt or end a discussion rather than finish it in a positive sense.

34. He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than was wise.

A) "He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than was wise." In this sentence, "than was wise" is a comparative phrase indicating that the amount of noise he was making was not considered wise or prudent.

B) "He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than he was wise." In this sentence, "than he was wise" is a comparative phrase suggesting that he, as a person, was not wise, rather than referring to the wisdom of making noise. This interpretation implies that his behavior of walking fast and making noise was not wise based on his own judgment or character.

In essence, sentence A focuses on the wisdom of making noise, while sentence B focuses on the wisdom of the person himself.

+ Q1. In this sentence A), why/what subject is omitted between "than" and "was" in "than was wise" A) He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than was wise. ?

"He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than [it] was wise."

The subject "it" is omitted because it can be inferred from the context of the sentence. This construction is common in English and is used to avoid repetition or to make the sentence more concise.

+ Q2. What does it indicate [it] in "He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than [it] was wise."?

In the sentence "He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than it was wise," the word "it" refers to the action of making noise or the situation of making noise at that pace.

The phrase "than it was wise" implies that the level of noise being produced by walking so fast was not considered wise or prudent in the given context. So, "it" refers to the act of making noise or the situation of making noise in that particular manner.

 

 

35. A) none other than Albus Dumbledore vs B) was Albus Dumbledore 

A) "Sitting on one of the desks by the wall was none other than Albus Dumbledore."

• The phrase "none other than" adds emphasis and implies surprise or significance. It suggests that the presence of Albus Dumbledore is unexpected or noteworthy. This construction often serves to highlight the identity of the person being mentioned.

B) "Sitting on one of the desks by the wall was Albus Dumbledore."

• This sentence is more straightforward and direct. It simply states the fact that Albus Dumbledore is sitting on one of the desks without any additional emphasis or surprise implied. It presents the information without any particular emphasis on Dumbledore's identity.

In summary, while both sentences convey the same information, sentence A with "none other than" emphasizes the significance or surprise of Dumbledore's presence, while sentence B is a more straightforward statement of fact.

 

37. A) It was only when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful. But then, he thought, as he shoved Scabbers off his pillow, it had been quite a personal question. vs B) when he was back in bed, it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful.

In summary, both sentences convey the same sequence of events, but sentence A emphasizes the timing of Harry's realization more strongly, while sentence B presents it in a slightly more straightforward manner.
