Wood was the only person who looked truly awake. Fred and George Weasley were sitting, puffy-eyed and touslehaired, next to fourth year Alicia Spinnet, who seemed to be nodding off against the wall behind her. Her fellow Chasers, Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson, were yawning side by side opposite them. “There you are, Harry, what kept you?” said Wood briskly. “Now, I wanted a quick talk with you all before we actually get onto the field, because I spent the summer devising a whole new training program, which I really think will make all the difference…” Wood was holding up a large diagram of a Quidditch field, on which were drawn many lines, arrows, and crosses in different colored inks. He took out his wand, tapped the board, and the arrows began to wiggle over the diagram like caterpillars. As Wood launched into a speech about his new tactics, Fred Weasley's head drooped right onto Alicia Spinnet's shoulder and he began to snore. The first board took nearly twenty minutes to explain, but there was another board under that, and a third under that one.

We're easily the best team. But unfortunately - owing to circumstances beyond our control—” Harry shifted guiltily in his seat. He had been unconscious in the hospital wing for the final match of the previous year, meaning that Gryffindor had been a player short and had suffered their worst defeat in three hundred years. Wood took a moment to regain control of himself. Their last defeat was clearly still torturing him. “So this year, we train harder than ever before… Okay, let's go and put our new theories into practice!” Wood shouted, seizing his broomstick and leading the way out of the locker rooms. Stiff-legged and still yawning, his team followed.   注：下划线部分是个人为大家挑出来的表达，大家可以稍微注意一下，红色标注是我觉得比较重要的一些词汇或短语，包括熟词生义，有利于大家对段落的理解，大家可自行查询，也可一带而过。---by 欧阳天天 欧阳天天 简书推荐作者 书虫计划发起者 学习行动100天践行者 英文名著天天读倡导者 早起 | 手绘 | 读书 | 写字 微博：@英文名著天天读 Wechat: wansexiaoyue1990 Reward Learn about writing a valuable comment Author requires users to follow Official Account before leaving a comment Write a comment Write a comment Loading Most upvoted comments above Learn about writing a valuable comment Scan QR Code via WeChat to follow Official Account
