When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, grey Tuesday, our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country.

当德思礼先生和夫人在灰暗星期二早晨醒来时，我们故事便开始了。外面浓云低垂并没有丝毫迹象预示这地方即将发生神秘古怪事情。

His surly face darkened as he surveyed Harry.

他上下打量着哈利，不可一世脸上露出表情。

The gloomy damp weather and her gloomy face took away my appetite.

潮湿气和她哭丧着脸让我食欲全无。

Overcast means that the sky is very dark.

指是很暗。

He was no longer their sullen host of the summer; now he seemed determined that everyone should enjoy themselves as much, if not more than they would have done at Hogwarts.

他不再是夏那个人了，现在他似乎决心要让每个人都像在霍格沃茨一样开心，如果不是更开心话。

" Er..." he said glumly, staring up at the Fat Lady, who smoothed the folds of her pink satin dress and looked sternly back at him.

“恩… … ”他说道。胖大婶此刻正在抚平她粉红色绸缎上面褶皱，并且用严厉眼光看着他。

It was a cold afternoon, with a hard grey sky.

那下午很冷，。

West Egg especially still figures in my more fantastic dreams. I see it as a night scene by El Greco: a hundred houses, at once conventional and grotesque, crouching under a sullen, overhanging sky and a lustreless moon.

尤其西卵仍然出现在我做比较荒唐梦里。在我梦中，这个小镇就像埃尔·格列柯画一幅夜景：上百所房屋，既平常又怪诞，蹲伏在和黯淡无光月亮之下。

After all, we all know the sky is grue, right?

毕竟，我们都知道是，对吧？

Ove doesn't say anything but his eyes turn black.

欧维什么都没说，但他眼神下来。

This day was overcast, and by noon the sky had already begun to spit snow.

这，不到中午，就开始降雪。

Or I'm not really fond of our neighbor, she's so gloomy all the time.

或者，我不太喜欢我们邻居，她总是那么。

It's possibly because of all this grey weather.

可能是因为这气。

His face grew dark, his hand clenched into a fist inside mine.

他脸下来，他手在我手里紧紧地握成了拳头。

Biographers have speculated that Enzo's constant worry at Dino's condition may have had a negative impact on his personality, making him more somber and a more short-tempered person than he was previously.

传记作者推测，恩佐对迪诺状况持续担忧可能对他个性产生了负面影响，使他成为一个比过去更加和脾气暴躁人。

But the third (which rapidly swallowed up the other two) was the grey, gravelly surface of a platform in a country station, and a seat with luggage round it, where they were all sitting as if they had never moved from it.

第三幅图画很快取代了前面两幅，那是乡间火车站那个灰蒙蒙、站台和站台上那条被行李包围长凳，他们都坐在长凳上好像从未离开过一样。

Uncle Vernon stopped at last outside a gloomy-looking hotel on the outskirts of a big city. Dudley and Harry shared a room with twin beds and damp, musty sheets.

汽车来到一座大城市郊区，弗农姨父终于在一家显得幽暗旅馆门口停下。达力和哈利合住一个有两张床位房间，潮湿床单散发着一股霉味。

The tents here had not been bedecked with plant life, but each and every one of them had the same poster attached to it, a poster of a very surly face with heavy black eyebrows.

这里帐篷上没有覆盖什么植物，但每个帐篷上都贴着相同招贴画，上面是一张非常脸，眉毛粗黑浓密。

He and his sister, Beatrice, were not close until years later, and he recalled with dread their fractured home life, the somber mood at the dinner table, the lack of praise and laughter and kids' art on the walls.

他和他姐姐比阿特丽斯直到多年后才亲近起来，他恐惧地回忆起他们支离破碎家庭生活，饭桌上气氛，缺乏赞美和笑声以及墙上儿童艺术。

For instance, stratus clouds-those unlovable, featureless sprawls that give us our overcast skies, happen when moisture-bearing updrafts lack the oomph to break through a level of more stable air above, and instead spread out, like smoke hitting a ceiling.

比如，要是携带水汽上升气流无法突破上面比较稳定一层气，就会像烟碰到了花板那样向外展开，于是就形成了层云一那种不大讨人喜欢，毫无特色，弄得云层。
