The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it.

达斯利一家人拥有他们想要的一切,但他们也有一个秘密,他们最大的恐惧是有人会发现它。

They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs Potter was Mrs Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years;

他们认为,如果有人找到有关陶工的知识,他们将无法承受。波特太太是达斯利太太的姐姐,但他们已经好多年没有见面了。

in fact, Mrs Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be.

事实上,杜思礼夫人假装自己没有姐姐,因为她的姐姐和她的无辜丈夫尽可能地没有杜尔斯利风情。

The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbours would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him.

德斯利一家颤抖着,想着如果陶工们来到街上,邻居们会怎么说。德斯利一家知道陶艺家也有一个小儿子,但他们甚至从未见过他。

This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

这个男孩是使陶艺家远离的另一个好理由。他们不希望达德利和这样的孩子混在一起。
