豹豹和我手边的喵子一起邀你读纳尼亚第七章啦！
开篇之前，先放个豹豹在查理和巧克力中不明白的，后来突然茅塞顿开的句子。主要是后半句。这个句子折磨我两天了。(?′ω`?)终于搞定，特意记录一下。
Whipped cream isn’t whipped cream at all unless it’s been whipped with whips. Just as a poached egg isn’t a poached egg unless it’s been stolen from the woods in the dead of night!
没有打(发起来)的奶油不叫奶油，就如同没有被半夜从林子鸟窝里偷的蛋叫被偷的蛋一样。(中文版译文翻译为就像钱包，除非里面装钱，不然不叫钱包。算是意译了)其实对中文译文没多大意见，主要是自己走到惯性思维里了。因为 a poached egg狗蛋可是专门做了视频教过的，大名鼎鼎的水波蛋(咳，就是荷包蛋)所以一直不明白水波蛋和林子有什么关系。今天突然一看单词，poaching不就是偷猎，挖墙脚嘛！于是迎刃而解。
下面是正剧
“the robin. It’s flown away.” And so it had—right out of sight.
So it had 表示的确如此，确实是这样。上文所说的话的赞同或附和。是一个正常语序，out of sight 消失在视线之外。
Out of sight,out of mind . 眼不见心不烦
And now what are we to do
表示将来做什么除了will ,be ging to do其实还可以用be to+infinitive (I am to do )有时候也会见到be about to do
Be to do is used to talk about formal or official arrangements,formal instructions, and to give orders. It is particularly common in news reports to talk about future events.
除此之外，be to do 主要是说事情在我们能控制的范围之内。
我们可以说I suppose we will all die eventually.(而不能说We are all to die...)
(摘自英语在用，高级语法)
后文还出现了“I know,” said Peter. “The question is, are we to go to it or notWhat do you think, Lu?”
这里均表示他们的计划和打算。
Whatever it is,it’s dodging us.
躲避我们，这句话主要是dodge也是豹豹个人很喜欢的一个汽车品牌，道奇。一个大大的山羊头。本意是躲避的意思，哈利波特中出现频率很高，主要是魁地奇比赛。dodger就有神偷的意思。
A moment later the stranger came out from behind the tree, glanced all round as if it were afraid someone was watching, said “Hush,” ...
as if和if 用法很相似，用于真实或虚拟。以前只略提它是“好像”的意思，
Ann sounded ad if she had a cold, didn't she?也可以用as though替代。
这句话就是as if 的虚拟了，它和if一样也分情况，今天只提碰到的，在本文中表示与故事中的现实相反，好像有人监视一样，用动词过去式ved,be动词用were(豹豹查过了，其实严格来说was /were 都是可以的，不过were更常用一些，而不是老师们常讲的只能用were,不过为了考试的话还是优选were吧。)
hush 嘘！别说话
“Shan’t we have to risk it?” said Susan. “I mean, it’s no good just standing here and I feel I want some dinner.”
shan't (shall not)另一个不大好记的缩写是daren't (dare not)
risk这里加了it,所以risk 是＋ving/n.作为冒险做某事(动词)是没有to do的。
eg. He risked his life to save her./They knew they risked being arrested.
那为什么有时候我们会见到risk to do是因为risk做的是名词
eg.The group wa s considered to be a risk to national security.
别杠，词条都来自词典。
At this moment the Beaver again popped its head out from behind the tree and beckoned earnestly to them.
写一段话动感十足，把海狸先生探头缩脑的样子都刻画在了书了。
beckon reckon招呼和认为
earnestly 热切的，earnest真诚的这个词在文学作品中经常会被命名为人名，仿佛总有一种反讽，推荐王尔德的The importance of Being Earnest的广播剧(是广播剧)。这部广播剧特别有意思。
let’s give it a try. All keep close together. We ought to be a match for one beaver if it turns out to be an enemy.
be a match for sb. 是…的对手
...but it still drew back, saying to them in a hoarse throaty whisper, “Further in, come further in. Right in here. We’re not safe in the open!”
hoarse throaty都有嘶哑的，粗哑的意思，有点同义复现的感觉。另外常见的还有gruff,rough等。
in the open 指的就是空地(四周没什么阻挡)
在哈利波特一禁林一章中有这么一句话，
Suddenly, in a clearing ahead, sth. definitely moved. 这里clearing也指空地(尤指森林中的小块空地)
“Not meaning to be rude, Mr. Beaver,” added Peter, “but you see, we’re strangers.”
“Quite right, quite right,” said the Beaver. “Here is my token.”
Not meaning to be rude不是有意冒犯，rude也可换为mean 注意做某事没什么意义用There’s no point in doing sth.或者it's no good doing就可以了。
token 信物，代币。一打开简书，好家伙全给我推送关于Token 或者Bitcoin的消息，我好像没关注金融吧？
Poor fellow, he got wind of the arrest before it actually happened and handed this over to me.
fellow和feller差不多，伙计，人。
get wind of sth. 得到风声
They say Aslan is on the move—perhaps has already landed.
阿斯兰在行动了，也许快到了。所以后面有一章的标题就是Aslan Is Nearer
be on the move 在行动中
Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of summer.
这一段豹豹觉得写得太美妙了。当他们听到阿斯兰这个名字时如同有一种召唤感(除了爱德蒙)，Peter感觉充满了力量，brave还可以用valiant, gallant近义词替换。 Susan 觉得听到了悦耳的旋律，闻到了香甜的气息，而Lucy就更不用说了，她感觉到初夏的来临，或者一睁眼，哇！放假了。无比羡慕。
some delightful strain of music 这个词团特别美，建议可以记一下。starin这里不表示压力。
If you hear the strains of music, you hear music being played. 旋律; 曲调
She could hear the tinny strains of a chamber orchestra.
They also noticed that he now had a sort of modestmodest expression on his face—the sort of look people have when you are visiting a garden they’ve made or reading a story they’ve written. So it was only common politeness when Susan said, “What a lovely dam!” And Mr. Beaver didn’t say “Hush” this time but “Merely a trifle! Merely a trifle! And it isn’t really finished!”
这一段特好玩，他们快到海狸先生家的时候，发现他搭的一个水坝，这个时候，海狸先生脸上露出一种让别人欣赏自己佳作的表情–又骄傲又谦虚，在Susan礼貌性夸奖的时候也不说安静了，只是一个劲重复，算不得什么，算不得什么。哈哈。
the sort of ，the kind of , the type of
modest谦逊的
Merely a trifle 仅仅是无足轻重的小作品
A trifle is something that is considered to have little importance, value, or significance
and horrible ideas came into his head.
这是说突然爱德蒙有了邪恶的想法，我们一说想法，突然有个主意常用的是
A good idea occurred to me.
另外豹豹还看到了一篇课文标题是
Shining a light on Edison 爱迪生的灵光一现
Along this route Mr. Beaver led them in single file right out to the middle...
in single file是常见的词组，表示排成一排鱼贯而出 a line of persons or things arranged one behind the other; Indian file.
route? n. 路线
The first thing Lucy noticed as she went in was a burring sound, and the first thing she saw was a kind-looking old she-beaver sitting in the corner with a thread in her mouth working busily at her sewing machine, ...
a kind-looking man/young man/old lady等等，在书虫中见到的太多了，修饰长相，gool-looking,pleasant-looking, grey-haired,stern-faced等等，这类合成词挺能扩充词汇的。即使是些小词，也能显得很生动。
she-beaver 是指海狸太太
另外野性的呼唤中用的是she-wolf母狼
在丛林故事The Jungle Book中狼爸爸就用的Father Wolf,但是在粉红猪小妹里面就是Daddy Pig，很有意思
her sewing machine缝纫机，washing machine 洗衣机
...then suddenly shot in his paw, and before you could say Jack Robinson had whisked out a beautiful trout.
before you can（could） say Jack Robinson,表示“一瞬间”的意思Before you could say Jack Robinson,he had disappeared．（转眼间他一溜烟跑掉了.）从前有一个名叫Jack Robinson的绅士,他爱串门，但总是匆匆走访,当仆人还没有来得及通报主人,他已不辞而别,像一阵风似的不见了.属于成语，收录于《俗语词典》
trout 鲑鱼，也有说鳟鱼的。发现应该是鳟鱼，鲑鱼经常被说成三文鱼(salmon)...…反正是鱼，能吃。
“if you’ll just wait till I’ve got my pipe lit up and going nicely—why, now we can get to business. It’s snowing again,” he added, cocking his eye at the window.
如果能让我装上烟袋，好好抽两口，我们就能更舒舒服服进入正题了。
想起了霍比特人，And a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors, into the bargain. If you have a pipe about you, sit down and have a fill of mine! There’s no hurry, we have all the day before us!哈哈哈，甘道夫当时能气的半死。
以及矮人们说We like the dark. Dark for dark business.(:)豹豹最喜欢的原版书其实就是霍比特人，不是哈利波特，也不是魔戒。虽然魔戒也很好看)
cock one's eye 仔细地看
这一章因为本身有点长，所以更得也有点长。不管怎么样，第七章豹豹已经读完啦，笔记供参考~希望下一章我们还能在一起共读。加油。
