哈利•波特在霍格沃茨读一年级的时候曾两次邂逅厄里斯魔镜,尽管它反映的是一个人内心深处最强烈的渴望,魔镜同时也体现了哈利的性格以及他将要成为的那种巫师……
encounter 作动词和名词的意思都是 遭遇;邂逅;拓展短语:encounter group 邂逅团体:会谈时通过自我表达、冲突及肢体接触等来培养自我意识和相互理解的一组人;例:A man in an encounter group has been making vaguely negative statements about his father. 一个男人在会心团体中对他父亲做了暧昧的消极表达。
What does Harry see in the Mirror of Erised? Unlike his friend Ron, he doesn’t see a successful future, but an unreachable past. In the mirror, Harry encounters the Potter family for the first time in his life. Most prominently he sees his mother and father smiling down at him and it is this that is ‘nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire’ of young Harry’s heart.

unreachable 不能得到的;不能达到的;例:They can go beneath the ice, and then to hibernate as the ices closes in, until we need them to carry out their research in unreachable areas. 它们能潜入冰层下面,然后结冰时就进入冬眠,直到我们需要它们在无法到达的地方进行研究。
