Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
2
Chapter 1.
3
The boy who lived, Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of No. 4, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal.
4
Thank you very much.
5
They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
6
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills.
7
He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large moustache.
8
Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck,
9
which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbours.
10
The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley, and in their opinion, there was no finer boy anywhere.
11
The Dursleys had everything they wanted but they also had a secret and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it.
12
They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters.
13
Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister but they hadn't met for several years.
14
In fact Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister
15
because her sister and her good -for -nothing husband were as un -Dursley -ish as it was possible to be.
16
The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbours would say if the Potters arrived in the street.
17
The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son too, but they had never even seen him.
18
This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away.
19
They didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
20
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
21
that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country.
22
Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair.
23
None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window.
24
At half -past eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley goodbye but missed,
25
because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls.
26
Little tyke, chortled Mr. Dursley as he left the house.
27
He got into his car and backed out of number four's drive.
28
It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar, a cat reading a map.
29
For a second, Mr. Dursley didn't realise what he had seen, then he jerked his head around to look again.
30
There was a tabby cat standing on the corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn't a map in sight.
31
What could he have been thinking of?
32
It must have been a trick of the light.
33
Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat.
34
It stared back.
35
As Mr. Dursley drove around the corner and up the road, he watched the cat in his mirror.
36
It was now reading the sign that said, Privet Drive, No, looking at the sign.
37
Cats couldn't read maps or signs.
38
Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind.
39
As he drove toward town, he thought of nothing except a large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.
40
But on the edge of town, drills were driven out of his mind by something else.
41
As he sat in the usual morning traffic jam, he couldn't help noticing that there seemed to be a lot of strangely dressed people about.
42
People in cloaks.
43
Mr. Dursley couldn't bear people who dressed in funny clothes the get -ups you saw on young people.
44
He supposed this was some stupid new fashion.
45
He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing quite close by.
46
They were whispering excitedly together.
47
Mr. Dursley was enraged to see
48
that a couple of them weren't young at all why
49
that man had to be older than he was and wearing an emerald green cloak, the nerve of him.
50
But then it struck Mr. Dursley that this was probably some silly stunt these people were obviously collecting for something.
51
Yes, that would be it.
52
The traffic moved on and a few minutes later Mr. Dursley arrived in the Grunnings parking lot, his mind back on drills.
53
Mr. Dursley always sat with his back to the window in his office on the ninth floor.
54
If he hadn't, he might have found it harder to concentrate on drills that morning.
55
He didn't see the owls swooping past in broad daylight, though people down in the street did.
56
They pointed and gazed open -mouthed as owl after owl sped overhead.
57
Most of them had never seen an owl even at night time.
58
Mr. Dursley, however, had a perfectly normal, owl -free morning.
59
He yelled at five different people.
60
He made several important telephone calls and shouted a bit more.
61
He was in a very good mood until lunchtime, when he thought he'd stretch his legs and walk across the road to buy himself a bun from the bakery.
62
He'd forgotten all about the people in cloaks until he passed a group of them next to the bakers.
63
He eyed them angrily as he passed.
64
He didn't know why, but they made him uneasy.
65
This bunch were whispering excitedly too, and he couldn't see a single collecting tin.
66
It was on his way back past them, clutching a large donut in a bag, that he caught a few words of what they were saying.
67
The Potters, that's right.
68
That's what I heard, yes.
69
Their son, Harry.
70
Mr. Dursley stopped dead.
71
Fear flooded him.
72
He looked back at the whisperers as if he wanted to say something to them, but thought better of it.
73
He dashed back across the road, hurried up to his office, snapped at his secretary not to disturb him,
74
seized his telephone, and had almost finished dialing his home number when he changed his mind.
75
He put the receiver back down and stroked his moustache, thinking, no, he was being stupid.
76
Potter wasn't such an unusual name.
77
He was sure there were lots of people called Potter who had a son called Harry.
78
Come to think of it, he wasn't even sure his nephew was called Harry.
79
He'd never even seen the boy.
80
It might have been Harvey. Or Harold.
81
There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley.
82
She always got so upset at any mention of her sister.
83
He didn't blame her if he'd had a sister like that.
84
But all the same, those peopling cloaks.
85
He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon, and when he left the building at five o 'clock he was still
86
so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside the door.
87
Sorry, he grunted, as the tiny old man stumbled and almost fell.
88
It was a few seconds before Mr. Dursley realized that the man was wearing a violet cloak.
89
He didn't seem at all upset at being almost knocked to the ground.
90
On the contrary, his face split into a wide smile, and he said in a squeaky voice that made passers -by stare, Don't be sorry, my dear sir,
91
for nothing could upset me today.
92
Rejoice, for you know who has gone at last.
93
Even muggles like yourself should be celebrating this happy, happy day.
94
And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around the middle and walked off.
95
Mr. Dursley stood rooted to the spot.
96
He had been hugged by a complete stranger.
97
He also thought he had been called a muggle, whatever that was.
98
He was rattled.
99
He hurried to his car and set off for home hoping he was imagining things
100
which he had never hoped before because he didn't approve of imagination.
101
As he pulled into the driveway of number four, the first thing he saw, and it didn't improve his mood was the tabby cat he'd spotted that morning.
102
It was now sitting on his garden wall.
103
He was sure it was the same one.
104
It had the same markings around its eyes.
105
Shoo!
106
said Mr. Dursley loudly.
107
The cat didn't move.
108
It just gave him a stern look.
109
Was this normal cat behavior?
110
Mr. Dursley wondered.
111
trying to pull himself together he let himself into the house
112
he was still determined not to mention anything to his wife
113
mrs dursley had had a nice normal day she told him
114
over dinner all about mrs next door's problems with her daughter and how dudley had learned a new word won't
115
mr dursley tried to act normally
116
when dudley had been put to bed he went into the
117
living room in time to catch the last report on the evening news.
118
And finally, bird watchers everywhere have reported that the nation's owls have been behaving very unusually today.
119
Although owls normally hunt at night and are hardly ever seen in daylight, there have been hundreds of sightings of these birds flying in every direction since sunrise.
120
Experts are unable to explain why the owls have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern.
121
The newscaster allowed himself a grin.
122
Most mysterious.
123
And now over to Jim McGuffin with the weather.
124
Going to be any more showers of owls tonight, Jim?
125
Well, Ted, said the weatherman, I don't know about that, but it's not only the owls that have been acting oddly today.
126
Viewers as far apart as Kent, Yorkshire and Dundee have been phoning in to tell me that instead of the rain I promised yesterday, they've had a downpour of shooting stars.
127
Perhaps people have been celebrating bonfire night early it's not until next week, folks, but I can promise a wet night tonight.
128
Mr. Dursley sat frozen in his armchair, shooting stars all over Britain,
129
owls flying by daylight, mysterious people in cloaks all over the place, and a whisper, a whisper about the potters.
130
Mrs. Dursley came into the living room carrying two cups of tea.
131
It was no good.
132
He'd have to say something to her.
133
He cleared his throat nervously.
134
Er, Petunia, dear, you haven't heard from your sister lately, have you?
135
As he had expected, Mrs. Dursley looked shocked and angry.
136
After all, they normally pretended she didn't have a sister.
137
No, she said sharply.
138
Why?
139
Funny stuff on the news, Mr. Dursley mumbled.
140
Owls, shooting stars, and there were a lot of funny -looking people in town today.
141
So, snapped Mrs. Dursley.
142
Well, I just thought, maybe, it was something to do with, you know, her crowd.
143
Mrs. Dursley sipped her tea through pursed lips.
144
Mr. Dursley wondered whether he dared tell her he'd heard the name Potter.
145
He decided he didn't dare.
146
Instead, he said, as casually as he could, their son he'd be about Dudley's age now, wouldn't he?
147
I suppose so, said Mrs. Dursley stiffly.
148
What's his name again?
149
Howard, isn't it?
150
Harry.
151
Nasty, common name, if you ask me.
152
Oh, yes, said Mr. Dursley, his heart sinking horribly.
153
Yes, I quite agree.
154
He didn't say another word on the subject as they went upstairs to bed.
155
While Mrs. Dursley was in the bathroom, Mr. Dursley crept to the bedroom window and peered down into the front garden.
156
The cat was still there.
157
It was staring down Privet Drive as though it were waiting for something. Was he imagining things?
158
Could all this have anything to do with the potters.
159
If it did, if it got out that they were related to a pair of well, he didn't think he could bear it.
160
The Dursleys got into bed.
161
Mrs. Dursley fell asleep quickly, but Mr. Dursley lay awake, turning it all over in his mind.
162
His last comforting thought before he fell asleep was that even if the potters were involved, there was no reason for them to come near him and Mrs. Dursley.
163
The potters knew very well what he and Petunia thought about them and their kind.
164
He couldn't see how he and Petunia could get mixed up in anything that might be going on.
165
He yawned, and turned over it couldn't affect them.
166
How very wrong he was.
167
Mr. Dursley might have been drifting into an uneasy sleep, but the cat on the wall outside was showing no sign of sleepiness.
168
It was sitting as still as a statue, its eyes fixed unblinkingly on the far corner of Privet Drive.
169
It didn't so much as quiver when a car door slammed on the next street, nor when two owls swooped overhead.
170
In fact, it was nearly midnight before the cat moved at all.
171
A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching, appeared so suddenly and silently you'd have thought he'd just popped out of the ground.
172
The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed.
173
Nothing like this man had ever been seen on Privet Drive.
174
He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt.
175
He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high -heeled, buckled boots.
176
His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half -moon spectacles, and his nose was very long and crooked,
177
as though it had been broken at least twice.
178
This man's name was Albus Dumbledore.
179
Albus Dumbledore didn't seem to realize
180
that he had just arrived in a street where everything from his name to his boots was unwelcome.
181
He was busy rummaging in his cloak, looking for something, but he did seem to realise he was being watched, because he looked up suddenly at the cat,
182
which was still staring at him from the other end of the street.
183
For some reason the sight of the cat seemed to amuse him.
184
He chuckled and muttered, I should have known.
185
He found what he was looking for in his inside pocket.
186
It seemed to be a silver cigarette lighter.
187
He flicked it open, held it up in the air, and clicked it.
188
The nearest street lamp went out with a little pop.
189
He clicked it again.
190
The next lamp flickered into darkness.
191
Twelve times he clicked the put -outer, until the only lights left on the whole street were two tiny pinpricks in the distance, which were the eyes of the cat watching him.
192
If anyone looked out of their window now, even beady -eyed Mrs. Dursley, they wouldn't be able to see anything that was happening down on the pavement.
193
Dumbledore slipped the put -outer back inside his cloak and set off down the street toward number four, where he sat down on the wall next to the cat.
194
He didn't look at it, but after a moment he spoke to it.
195
Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall.
196
He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone.
197
Instead, he was smiling at a rather severe -looking woman who
198
was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes.
199
She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one.
200
Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun.
201
She looked distinctly ruffled.
202
How did you know it was me? she asked.
203
My dear professor, I've never seen a cat sit so stiffly.
204
You'd be stiff if you'd been sitting on a brick wall all day, said Professor McGonagall.
205
All day?
206
When you could have been celebrating.
207
I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here.
208
Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily.
209
Oh yes, everyone's celebrating all right, she said impatiently.
210
You'd think they'd be a bit more careful, but no even the muggles have noticed something's going on.
211
It was on their news.
212
She jerked her head back at the Dursley's dark living room window.
213
I heard it.
214
Flocks of owls.
215
Shooting stars.
216
Well, they're not completely stupid.
217
They were bound to notice something.
218
Shooting stars down in Kent, I'll bet that was Daedalus Diggle.
219
He never had much sense.
220
You can't blame them, said Dumbledore gently.
221
We've had precious little to celebrate for eleven years.
222
I know that, said Professor McGonagall irritably.
223
But that's no reason to lose our heads.
224
People are being downright careless out on the streets in broad daylight, not even dressed in muggle clothes, swapping rumours.
225
She threw a sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore here, as though hoping he was going to tell her something.
226
But he didn't, so she went on.
227
A fine thing it would be if, on the very day you know who seems to have disappeared at last, the Muggles found out about us all.
228
I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore.
229
It certainly seems so, said Dumbledore.
230
We have much to be thankful for.
231
Would you care for a lemon drop?
232
A what?
233
A lemon drop.
234
They're a kind of muggle sweet I'm rather fond of.
235
No, thank you, said Professor McGonagall coldly, as though she didn't think this was the moment for lemon drops.
236
As I say, even if you know who has gone, my dear professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name.
237
All this you -know -who nonsense for 11 years I've been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name.
238
Voldemort.
239
Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two lemon drops, seemed not to notice.
240
It all gets so confusing if we keep saying you -know -who.
241
I've never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Voldemort's name.
242
I know you have an.. said Professor McGonagall, sounding half exasperated, half admiring.
243
But you're different.
244
Everyone knows you're the only one.
245
You know, oh, all right, Voldemort was frightened of.
246
You flatter me, said Dumbledore calmly.
247
Voldemort had powers I will never have.
248
Only because you're too well noble to use them.
249
"'It's lucky it's dark.
250
I haven't blushed
251
so much since Madame Pumphrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.' Professor McGonagall shot a sharp look at Dumbledore and said,
252
"'The owls are nothing next to the rumours that are flying around.
253
You know what everyone's saying?
254
About why he's disappeared?
255
About what finally stopped him?' It seemed that Professor McGonagall had reached the point she was most anxious to discuss, us.
256
The real reason she had been waiting on a cold, hard wall all day,
257
for neither as a cat nor as a woman had she fixed Dumbledore with such a piercing stare as she did now.
258
It was plain that whatever everyone was saying, she was not going to believe it until Dumbledore told her it was true.
259
Dumbledore, however, was choosing another lemon drop and did not answer.
260
What they're saying, she pressed on, is that last night Voldemort turned up in Godric's Hollow.
261
He went to find the Potters.
262
The rumour is that Lily and James Potter are, are that they're dead.
263
Dumbledore bowed his head.
264
Professor McGonagall gasped.
265
Lily and James.
266
I can't believe it.
267
I didn't want to believe it.
268
Oh, Albus.
269
Dumbledore reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
270
I know.
271
I know, he said heavily.
272
Professor McGonagall's voice trembled as she went on.
273
That's not all.
274
They're saying he tried to kill the potter's son, Harry.
275
But he couldn't.
276
He one knows why or how, but they're saying that when he couldn't kill Harry Potter, Voldemort's power somehow broke, and that's why he's gone.
277
Dumbledore nodded glumly.
278
It's, it's true, faltered Professor McGonagall.
279
After all he's done, all the people he's killed, he couldn't kill a little boy.
280
It's just astounding, of all the things to stop him but how in the name of heaven did Harry survive?
281
We can only guess, said Dumbledore, we may never know.
282
Professor McGonagall pulled out a lace handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes beneath her spectacles.
283
Dumbledore gave a great sniff as he took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it.
284
It was a very odd watch.
285
It had twelve hands, but no numbers.
286
Instead, little planets were moving around the edge.
287
It must have made sense to Dumbledore, though, because he put it back in his pocket and said, Hagrid's late.
288
I suppose it was he who told you I'd be here, by the way?
289
Yes, said Professor McGonagall.
290
And I don't suppose you're going to tell me why you're here, of all places.
291
I've come to bring Harry to his aunt and uncle.
292
They're the only family he has left now.
293
You don't mean you can't mean the people who live here, cried Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four.
294
Dumbledore, you can't.
295
I've been watching them all day.
296
You couldn't find two people who are less like us.
297
And they've got this son.
298
I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets.
299
Harry Potter, come and live here.
300
It's the best place for him, said Dumbledore firmly.
301
His aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to him when he's older.
302
I've written them a letter.
303
A letter, repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall.
304
Really, Dumbledore, you think you can explain all this in a letter.
305
These people will never understand him.
306
He'll be famous, a legend.
307
I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter Day.
308
In the future, there will be books written about Harry.
309
Every child in our world will know his name.
310
Exactly, said Dumbledore, looking very seriously over the top of his half -moon glasses.
311
It would be enough to turn any boy's head, famous before he can walk and talk, Famous for something he won't even remember.
312
Kara, you see how much better off he'll be, growing up away from all that until he's ready to take it.
313
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, changed her mind, swallowed, and then said, Yes, yes, you're right, of course.
314
But how is the boy getting here, Dumbledore?
315
She eyed his cloak suddenly, as though she thought he might be hiding Harry underneath it.
316
Hagrid's bringing him.
317
You think it wise to trust Hagrid with something as important as this.
318
I would trust Hagrid with my life, said Dumbledore.
319
I'm not saying his heart isn't in the right place, said Professor McGonagall grudgingly.
320
But you can't pretend he's not careless.
321
He does tend to.. what was that?
322
A low rumbling sound had broken the silence around them.
323
It grew steadily louder as they looked up and down the street for some sign of a headlight.
324
It swelled to a roar as they both looked up at the sky, and a huge motorcycle fell out of the air and landed on the road in front of them.
325
If the motorcycle was huge, it was nothing to the man sitting astride it.
326
He was almost twice as tall as a normal man, and at least five times as wide.
327
He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild, long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face.
328
He had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins.
329
In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets.
330
Hagrid, said Dumbledore, sounding relieved. At last.
331
And where did you get that motorcycle?
332
Borrowed it, Professor Dumbledore.
333
Sit, said the giant, climbing carefully off the motorcycle as he spoke.
334
Young Sirius Black lent it to me.
335
I've got him, sir.
336
No problems, were there?
337
No. Sir House was almost destroyed, but I got him out all right before the muggle started swarming around.
338
He fell asleep as we was flying over Bristol.
339
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets.
340
Inside, just visible, was a baby boy, fast asleep.
341
Under a tuft of jet -black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously shaped cut like a bolt of lightning.
342
Is that where, whispered Professor McGonagall.
343
Yes, said Dumbledore.
344
He'll have that scar forever sir.
345
Couldn't you do something about it, Dumbledore?
346
Even if I could, I wouldn't.
347
Scars can come in handy.
348
I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground.
349
Or give him here, Hagrid.
350
We'd better get this over with.
351
Dumbledore took Harry in his arms and turned toward the Dursley's house.
352
Could I say goodbye to him, sir?
353
asked Hagrid.
354
He bent his great shaggy head over Harry and gave him what must have been a very scratchy, whiskery kiss.
355
Then suddenly, Hagrid let out a howl like a wounded dog.
356
Shhh, hissed Professor McGonagall.
357
You'll wake the muggles.
358
Sorry, sobbed Hagrid, taking out a large, spotted handkerchief and burying his face in it.
359
But I can't stand it, Lily and James dead, and poor little Harry off to live with muggles.
360
Yes, yes, it's all very sad, but get a grip on yourself, Hagrid, or we'll be found, Professor McGonagall whispered,
361
patting Hagrid gingerly on the arm as Dumbledore stepped over the low garden wall and walked to the front door.
362
He laid Harry gently on the doorstep, took a letter out of his cloak, tucked it inside Harry's blankets, and then came back to the other two.
363
For a full minute the three of them stood and looked at the little bundle.
364
Hagrid's shoulders shook, Professor McGonagall blinked furiously, and the twinkling light that usually shone from Dumbledore's eyes seemed to have gone out.
365
Well, said Dumbledore finally, that's that.
366
We've no business staying here.
367
We may as well go and join the celebrations.
368
Yeah, said Hagrid in a very muffled voice.
369
I'll be taking Sirius's bike back.
370
Good night, Professor McGonagall, Professor Dumbledore, sir.
371
Wiping his streaming eyes on his jacket sleeve, Hagrid swung himself onto the motorcycle and kicked the engine into life.
372
With a roar, it rose into the air and off into the night.
373
I shall see you soon, I expect, Professor McGonagall.
374
said Dumbledore, nodding to her.
375
Professor McGonagall blew her nose in reply.
376
Dumbledore turned and walked back down the street.
377
On the corner, he stopped and took out the silver put -outer.
378
He clicked it once, and twelve balls of light sped back to their streetlamps, so that Privet Drive glowed suddenly orange,
379
and he could make out a tabby cat slinking around the corner at the other end of the street.
380
He could just see the bundle of blankets on the step of number four.
381
Good luck, Harry, he murmured.
382
He turned on his heel and with a swish of his cloak he was gone.
383
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky,
384
the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen.
385
Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up.
386
One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous,
387
not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time
388
by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley.
389
He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices,
390
To Harry Potter, the boy who lived.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | have been thinking · have been behaving · have been acting |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | has gone · have reported · have been |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | be involved · were driven · was enraged |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | people who dressed · beard, which were · distance, which were |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 110 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे didn't, couldn't, he'd। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “th” की ध्वनियाँ: ninth /naɪnθ/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/, beneath /bɪˈniːθ/, throat /ˈθɹoʊt/
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: moustache /ˈmʌstæʃ/, shake /ˈʃeɪk/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, imagination /ɪˌmæd͡ʒəˈneɪʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: motorcycle /ˈmoʊtɚˌsaɪkəl/, mysterious /mɪˈstɪɹi.əs/, imagination /ɪˌmæd͡ʒəˈneɪʃən/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: whisper /ˈ(h)wɪspɚ/, overhead /ˈəʊvəˌhɛd/, viewer /ˈvju.ɚ/, relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/, sleeve /sliv/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: spectacles /ˈspɛktəkl̩z/, uneasy /ʌnˈiːzi/, confuse /kənˈfjuːz/, seize /ˈsiːz/, freeze /ˈfɹiːz/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: stare /stɛɚ/, scream /skɹiːm/, spectacles /ˈspɛktəkl̩z/, stiffly /ˈstɪfli/, snap /snæp/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर cloak, owl, potter जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
