雙語趣聞：英國小伙子與哈利·波特的同名之苦
波特表示：“沒人相信我說的是我自己的名字。跟我女朋友認(rèn)識的時候我得把我的護照啦、駕照啦、銀行卡啦拿出來讓她知道我沒騙她。我是個超級球迷，可是這名字讓我買球票都難上加難。他們一開始總是覺得我在騙他們，然后好不容易讓他們相信了吧，他們就開始爆笑了。趟趟如此。我在地區(qū)聯(lián)盟隊里踢球，球場解說員可樂了，三天兩頭說‘哈利·波特給對手施了個魔咒’啥啥的?！?br>
這位現(xiàn)實生活中的哈利·波特還真跟書里面的角色一樣，腦袋額頭上有個疤（不是泥巴……），而且呢，他還跟在哈利·波特系列電影中的男主角丹尼爾同齡。果然無巧不成書。想想如果當(dāng)初他去應(yīng)征面試電影主角，而且還被選中的話……
??? Harry Potter of Portsmouth, England was born in 1989 and had eight years of peace before J.K. Rowling wrote the books that would make him miserable.
??? He said: ‘No one ever believes that I’m telling the truth about my name. I had to show my girlfriend my passport, my bank card, and my driving licence to convince her that I wasn’t lying.
??? ‘Even getting my season ticket for Portsmouth FC was a bit of a pain – I’m a massive football fan, but I had problems at the ticket office.
??? ‘First they didn’t believe that my name was genuine, and when I convinced them, they thought it was hilarious. It’s never-ending.
??? ‘I play a lot of football as well in a local league, and the match reports are always full of puns – ‘Harry Potter cast a spell on the opposition and that kind of thing.’
??? The real Harry Potter also has a scar on his forehead like the book character, and is the same age as Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Potter in the movies.
