让我们来看看麻瓜的学校和霍格沃茨有什么相似的地方吧!

It definitely seems like J.K. Rowling may have used the UK boarding school system as inspiration for the creation of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in more ways than one, because one of the most noticeable aspects that Hogwarts and boarding schools share in common is their exclusivity. 

显然,J.K.罗琳的霍格沃茨魔法学校的创作灵感来自英国寄宿学校制度,因为霍格沃茨和寄宿学校最显著的共同点之一就是它们的排他性。  

Hogwarts is theoretically a bit more egalitarian than a normal boarding school, but you only get admittance to the school if you have magical powers, and those from "good" wizarding families typically get better treatment than others, at least by other students and some teachers. 

从理论上讲,霍格沃茨比普通寄宿学校更平等一些,但你只有在拥有魔法能力的情况下才能被录取,而那些来自“好”巫师家庭的学生通常会得到比其他人更好的待遇,至少在其他学生和一些老师那里是这样的。

On the other hand, boarding schools are ostensibly open to everyone, but the vast majority of students are from wealthy, established families too. 

另一方面,寄宿学校表面上对所有人开放,但绝大多数学生也来自富裕、有地位的家庭。

Quidditch may be the only major sport in the entire wizarding world, but it is clearly a very important part of wizard culture, and it's a very important part of culture at Hogwarts too. 

魁地奇也许是整个魔法世界里唯一的主要运动项目,但它显然是巫师文化中非常重要的一部分,也是霍格沃茨文化中非常重要的一部分。

The jocks of the school obviously get a lot of attention, especially when they're winning, and the sports rivalries between players and houses can be intense. 

学校的运动员显然得到了很多关注,尤其是当他们赢球的时候,运动员和学校之间的体育竞争可能会很激烈。

And although the spectrum of sports that boarding school students play in the UK is much wider, they're still equally as competitive and sports obsessed. They may be teenagers, but for them, sports are very serious business, and playing sports for their school is definitely a big deal. 

尽管英国寄宿学校的学生参加的体育活动范围更广,但他们同样热衷于竞争和运动。他们可能只是青少年,但对他们来说,运动是非常严肃的事情,参加运动对他们的学校来说绝对是一件大事。
