第 1 关 Whole Book 全书综合 · 7 题
1
According to the foreword, what kind of book is The Tales of Beedle the Bard?
Ans: A collection of fairy tales written for young wizards and witchesThe foreword begins: "The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of stories written for young wizards and witches." So it is clearly a short-story collection of fairy tales for young wizards and witches, with notes by Dumbledore.
2
According to the introduction, which stories are as familiar to Hogwarts students as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are to Muggle children?
Ans: "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" and "The Fountain of Fair Fortune"The introduction says: "the Hopping Pot and the Fountain of Fair Fortune are as familiar to many of the students at Hogwarts as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are to Muggle children." So the answer is "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" and "The Fountain of Fair Fortune".
3
According to the introduction, which four witches "take their fate into their own hands", instead of sleeping or waiting for someone to bring back a lost shoe?
Ans: Asha, Altheda, Amata and Babbitty RabbittyThe introduction lists Asha, Altheda, Amata and Babbitty Rabbitty and says they actively follow their own fates, instead of sleeping for a long time like fairy-tale princesses or waiting for someone to bring back a lost shoe.
4
According to the introduction, which female character in Beedle's stories is more like a princess waiting to be saved in traditional fairy tales, and her story has no "happily ever after" ending?
Ans: The nameless girl in "The Warlock's Hairy Heart"The introduction says the nameless girl in "The Warlock's Hairy Heart" is the exception: she behaves like the fairy-tale princess we imagine, but her story does not end with "living happily ever after".
5
At the beginning of "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot", what does the old wizard leave in the package for his son?
Ans: One soft, thick, odd (unmatched) slipper, with a note attachedThe story says the son opened the package "hoping for gold", but found only one soft, thick slipper that was too small to wear and had no pair, with a note saying: "In the fond hope, my son, that you will never need to use it."
6
In a few sentences, explain what "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" is about, and what its message is.简答题 · Hint: Think about the old wizard's purpose: "to let him taste the suffering of the local Muggles", and what Dumbledore mentions: "he agreed to use his magic to help his Muggle neighbours".
Ans: The kind old wizard wanted to make his cold-hearted son understand the suffering of the local Muggles (people without magic). So before he died, he left his son a package with only a slipper and a note. The son was very disappointed, threw the slipper back into the pot, and planned to use the pot as a rubbish bin. The message is (according to Dumbledore's notes): the son later felt sorry and agreed to use his magic to help the neighbours who had no magic.
7
According to the introduction, what is the main difference between Beedle the Bard's stories and Muggle fairy tales?简答题 · Hint: You can answer around the sentence "Magic causes as much trouble as it cures".
Ans: In Muggle fairy tales, magic is often the cause of the hero's trouble, such as a poisoned apple, a princess sleeping for a hundred years, or a prince turned into a beast. But in Beedle's stories, the heroes and heroines can do magic themselves, yet they still find it hard to solve their own problems: "Magic causes as much trouble as it cures."
