1分钟英语诗歌朗诵

Idon’t know what I’mbest at; I just can’t live without books. Harry Potter is my favorite one. In Chinese version, the names of the characters from Harry Potter are just sound and mean nothing. But in English version, the names alone will give you an idea of the personality or what they looked like. That is the things lost in translation.

For example, Albus Dumbledore.His first name ‘Albus’ is from the Latin word Alba, which means ‘white’. In color symbolism, ‘white’ stands for purity. His last name Dumbledore is old English for “bumblebee”. So his name suggests honor and a hard working nature.

So does the scary ‘you-know-who’, Voldemort. Voldemort is French for ‘flight of death’. His original name is Tom Marvolo Riddle. Tom is a random name but Riddle suggests he has secrets and tries to hide from people. Moreover, Tom Marvolo Riddle was made into the anagram ‘I am Lord Voldemort’.

That’s really amazing. Do you think so? I still have many names are waiting for your request. And, you know how,always!

Thank you!
