吉姆·戴尔 | 谈《哈利波特》有声书

Chance to be part of the Harry Potter phenomenon was unbelievable. Over the years of doing it, over the last eight years, I've been told that we have attracted to the reading world to the audiobook world.

有机会能成为“哈利·波特现象”的一份子是让我难以置信的。多年来（录制有声书），在过去的八年里，有人告诉我，《哈利·波特》已经深入到了阅读和有声读物世界。

Millions of children who seem to be fascinated by those computer games and spend every evening every waking minute in front of that screen. Due to Harry Potter, they were attracted to actually sitting down and reading a book again or maybe for the first time. Sitting down and listening to an audio book perhaps for the first time.

而今数以百万计的孩子似乎被电脑游戏迷住，每天晚上，早上醒来都在屏幕前度过。但是由于《哈利·波特》的缘故，他们被吸引，坐下来开始阅读或者重新阅读，而坐下来听有声书也许是第一次。

And here I would like to say that although reading the book is a wonderful experience, when you hear the narration of a book, it adds another dimension to that particular thing, it adds the dimension of a voice to the very character they're trying to visualize in their mind.

在这里我想说的是，尽管读书是一种美妙的经历，但当你听别人朗读这本书时，它给这个特定的东西增加了另一个维度，它为读者试图在脑海中形象化的人物增加了声音的维度。

It also gives them a chance to hear the accent that the author would wish them to hear, if he had the opportunity. So I'm so thrilled that we've attracted so many children to the world of books and the world of audiobooks.

这也让读者有机会听到作者希望他们听到的口音。所以我很高兴我们吸引了这么多孩子来到图书世界和有声读物世界。
