A play based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter tales will open in the West End within two years.
J.K.羅琳的《哈利·波特》將在兩年內(nèi)被改編成舞臺劇在倫敦西區(qū)的劇院上演。

Rowling will not write the stage piece — however, she will co-produce and collaborate with a playwright.
舞臺劇劇本將不會出自羅琳之手——不過，她會和一位劇作家共同創(chuàng)作。

Rowling’s seven-volume Harry Potter series began with The Philosopher’s Stone, published in 1997.
羅琳的《哈利·波特》系列共有7部，第一部名為《哈利·波特與魔法石》，于1997年出版。

All told the books have sold well in excess of 450 million copies and been translated into 77 languages.
這7部小說都十分暢銷，銷量超過了4.5億，并被翻譯成77種語言。

Eight movies were made featuring Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard with the thunderbolt scar on his forehead, and Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his best pals at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
《哈利·波特》還被翻拍成8部系列電影，丹尼爾·雷德克里夫飾演額頭上有著閃電形傷疤的主角哈利·波特，而魯伯特·格林特和艾瑪·沃特森則分別飾演羅恩·韋斯萊和赫敏·格蘭杰，他們是哈利·波特在霍格華茲魔法學(xué)校的好朋友。

But the play, to be steered by prominent London and New York producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, will mine ‘the previously untold story of Harry Potter’s early years as an orphan and outcast’.
著名制片人索尼亞·弗里德曼和科林·卡蘭德對舞臺劇做出了些改動，劇中將埋下一條主線——“年幼的哈利·波特那一段不為人知的心酸往事”。

Harry Potter’s theatrical adaptation will seek to ‘offer a unique insight into the heart and mind of the now legendary young wizard. A seemingly ordinary boy, but one for whom destiny has plans...’
《哈利·波特》的舞臺劇版本將“以獨特的視角來洞察傳奇的年輕巫師的內(nèi)心世界——一個看似平凡的男孩，他的命運卻早已注定……”

Rowling noted the numerous approaches she has received about putting Harry Potter on the stage, but the vision put forth by Sonia and Colin ‘was the only one that really made sense to me, and which had the sensitivity, intensity and intimacy I thought appropriate for bringing Harry’s story to the stage.
羅琳提到她曾收到很多要把《哈利·波特》搬上舞臺的方案，但是索尼亞和科林提出的設(shè)想“在我看來是唯一一個行得通的方案，它具有把《哈利·波特》搬上舞臺所需要的感性、激情和忠實度?！?/div>

A theatre has yet to be negotiated, but with a show of this quality — almost a licence to print money if all involved get it right — hopefully the right spell will deliver a theatre exactly when the show’s ready to go in 2015.
有一間劇院正處于協(xié)商階段，不過這么一部有著質(zhì)量保證的劇——不出意外的話無疑是一臺“印鈔機”——在2015年《哈利·波特》舞臺劇預(yù)備公演之前，談妥一間劇院應(yīng)該是沒有什么問題的。
