『壹』 J.K.羅琳的英文簡介
大姐，不是我不努力啊實在是水平有限，英語也太差，翻譯不了，您自己翻譯好了： J.K.羅琳本名喬安妮·凱瑟琳·羅琳，1965年7月31日生於英國的格溫特郡。她父親是羅伊斯羅爾飛機製造廠一名退休的管理人員，母親是一位實驗室技術人員。羅琳小時候是個戴眼鏡的相貌平平的女孩，非常愛學習，有點害羞，流著鼻涕，還比較野。她從小喜歡寫作和講故事，6歲就寫了一篇跟兔子有關的故事。妹妹是她講故事的對象，創作的動力和慾望，從此沒有離開過她。
羅琳熱愛英國文學，大學主修的是法語。畢業後，她隻身前往葡萄牙發展，隨即和當地的一位記者墜入情網。無奈的是，這段婚姻來得快也去得快。不久，她便帶著3個月大的女兒潔西卡回到了英國，棲身於愛丁堡一間沒有暖氣的小公寓里。找不到工作的她，只好靠著微薄的失業救擠金養活自己和女兒。
24歲那年，羅琳在曼徹斯特前往倫敦的火車旅途中，一個瘦弱、戴著眼鏡的黑發小巫師，一直在車窗外對著她微笑。他一下子闖進了她的生命。雖然當時她的手邊沒有紙和筆，但她開始天馬行空地想像，終於把這個哈利·波特的男孩故事推向了世界。於是，哈利·波特誕生了——一個10歲小男孩，瘦小的個子，黑色亂蓬蓬的頭發，明亮的綠色眼睛，戴著圓形眼鏡，前額上有一道細長、閃電狀的傷疤……哈利·波特成為風靡全球的童話人物。
作為一個單身母親，羅琳母女的生活極其艱辛。在開始寫作哈利·波特系列童話的第一部《哈利·波特與魔法石》時，羅琳因為自家的屋子又小又冷，時常到住家附近的一家咖啡館里把哈里·波特的故事寫在小紙片上。不過，她的努力很快得到了回報。童話一出版便備受矚目，好評如潮，其中包括英國國家圖書獎兒童小說獎，以及斯馬蒂圖書金獎章獎。隨後羅琳又分別於1998年與1999年創作了《哈利·波特與密室》和《哈利·波特與阿茲卡班的囚徒》，進一步轟動世界。2000年7月，隨著第四部《哈利·波特與火杯》的問世，世界范圍的哈利·波特熱持續升溫，創造了出版史上的神話。據悉「哈利·波特」系列還將有三部作品。最新公布的銷售數字顯示，羅林撰寫的《哈利波特》系列小說第一集，已成為2001年英國最暢銷的小說。它來創下了用46種文字在全世界發行3500萬冊的驚人紀錄。而根據這本小說拍攝的電影自從最近上映以來，也紛紛在世界不少地方打破當地的票房紀錄。
羅琳女士和女兒住在愛丁堡。但單身的她，已於2001年聖誕節後節禮日（Boxing Day）與30歲男友默里在蘇格蘭的新居舉行結婚典禮。婚事的辦理相當低調，只有15人出席，而且出席者大多是雙方的親屬。有趣的是，羅林與前夫所生的8歲大的女兒，在母親的再婚禮上充任三位伴娘中的一位。
目前，羅琳已名列英國第二富婆。她的故事猶如現代版的灰姑娘，在世界各地流傳著。

Ms. J K Rowling was born on July 31st, 1965 in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, England. Her given name at birth was Joanne Kathleen. Ms. Rowling has one sister, Di, was born 2 years after J K.
Galleries: JKRIt is interesting to note that Ms. Rowling claims that she has actually been writing since she was 5 or 6 years old. Her first story, called Rabbit, was filled with interesting characters, such as a large bee called Miss Bee.
Ms. Rowling, along with her parents and sister, moved twice while J K was growing up. One of their homes, close to Bristol, and in Winterbourne, she had friends next door whos last name was Potter. J K never forgot the children, or the last name, which she liked very much.
Galleries: JKR houseWhen she was nine years old her family moved again to Tutshill in Gloucestershire. Joanne』s bedroom was the window at the far right. Ms. Rowling attended a primary (grade school) in Tutshill, and then, later, she attended Wyedean Comprehensive. Ms. Rowling (far right) describes »EWE« Galleries: JKR young with familyherself as being shy, freckly, with no natural athletic ability, but a great love of literature and very similar to Hermione in the Harry Potter books. Joanne modelled Hermione on herself.

Much of the character of Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter books is based on him. In the background of this picture is the Severn Bridge. Joanne and Sean often used to come here. About 20 miles upstream is the county town of Gloucester. Gloucester Cathedral was used as the set for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter film. Sean had a blue-and-white Ford Anglia car, in which Sean and Joanne used to drive around the countryside. Joanne had very happy memories of this car, and this was the exact model for the Weasley』s car in The Chamber of Secrets.
Galleries: JKR schoolLater, when she graated from the Wyedean Comprehensive, she attended Exeter University. Here Ms. Rowling studied French, (after her parents encouraged her into, what they believed, would be a wonderful career, as a bilingual secretary. After graation, however, it didnt take Ms. Rowling long to realize that she was not meant to be a secretary. Self described as the worst secretary ever, very disorganized, she found it increasingly hard to remain attentive ring meetings, actually writing story ideas instead of taking notes, as she had been instructed.
Galleries: JK at schoolWhen Ms. Rowling was 26 years old she moved to Portugal to be an English teacher. Ms. Rowling has been quoted many times as saying she loved teaching English, often teaching in the afternoons and evenings, so that she could be free to work on her writing ring the mornings. It was ring this period that she began working on a story about a wizard.
The idea for Harry Potter came to Joanne quite suddenly. She was making a train journey from Manchester to London. During that journey she visualised Harry very »EWE« Galleries: Jo in trainclearly. She had no writing materials with her. As she got off the train her mind was seething with ideas, and she was in a state of euphoria. As soon as she could, she began to write down those ideas, which subsequently became assembled into the books. Here Joanne is at Kings Cross station. Joanne thinks this is a very romantic place. Her parents had first met each other on a train out of Kings Cross.

And this was her favourite table, in a corner, out of the way, where she did a lot of her early writing. It took about 5 years for Joanne to bring her first book to a state for publication.

Joanne also made very competent drawings of characters and scenes as she imagined them. This drawing shows Hagrid and Professor Dumbledore about to deposit little Harry in Privet Drive.
Ms. Rowling requested a grant from the Scottish Arts Council, which was eventually given to her, in order to complete her book. When it was completed, after several rejections, Ms. Rowling sold the novel, Harry Potter and The Philosopher』s Stone, to Bloomsbury in the UK for the equivalent of about $4,000.

The literary experts advising all the major publishers judged that Harry Potter would not be successful, and they all rejected it. Joanne described her feelings when she got a phone call, from Christopher Little, to say the book had been accepted by Bloomsbury Press. That was one of the best moments of her life.

After several months Arthur A Levine Books/Scholastic Press bought the American rights to the first Harry Potter, and Ms. Rowling received enough money to give up teaching and write full time.

He noted that many currently successful books for alts deal with subjects that are, actually, trite and trivial.

Galleries: English CoverAfter Bloomsbury Children』s Books published the book in June 1997, it wasnt long before Ms. Rowling was recognized as a major discovery. The awards and accolades grew quickly for both Harry Potter and Ms. Rowling. In 1997 the book won The British Book Awards Children』s Book of the Year, and the Smarties Prize.
When published in the US, in September of 1998, the book was renamed and released by Arthur A Levine Books / Scholastic Press, the new title was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer』s Stone.

Immediately after this successful sequel a third book, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, was published in July and September of 1999, in the UK and the USA, respectively.

Galleries: English CoverBy the summer of 2000, Ms. Rowling has earned, reportedly, over $400 million dollars for her first three Harry Potter books, which have been printed in 35 languages, and sold over 30 million copies. Her fourth, most anticipated, book in the popular series, entitled Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, pre-sold over one million advanced copies, with a first printing of 5.3 million. Because of her domination and incredible success on the New York Times bestseller list, the decision was made to introce a bestseller list for childrens books, which would eliminate the dominating factor of these bestsellers on the current The New York Times bestseller list. This brought a tremendous amount of relief and happiness to a lot of competing authors – and a tremendous honor to Ms. J K Rowling.

Like that of her own character, Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling's life has the luster of a fairy tale. Divorced, living on public assistance in a tiny Edinburgh flat with her infant daughter, Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at a table in a cafe ring her daughter's naps — and it was Harry Potter that rescued her.
Joanne Kathleen Rowling entered the world in Chipping Sodbury General Hospital in Bristol, England, a fitting beginning for someone who would later enjoy making up strange names for people, places and games played on flying broomsticks. Her younger sister Di was born just under two years later.
Rowling remembers that she always wanted to write and that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five or six, was a story about a rabbit called Rabbit. Many of her favorite memories center around reading—hearing The Wind in the Willows read aloud by her father when she had the measles, enjoying the fantastic adventure stories of E. Nesbit, reveling in the magical world of C. S. Lewis's Narnia, and her favorite story of all, The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge.
At Exeter University Rowling took her degree in French and spent one year studying in Paris. After college she moved to London to work for Amnesty International as a researcher and bilingual secretary. The best thing about working in an office, she has said, was typing up stories on the computer when no one was watching. During this time, on a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who is a wizard and doesn't know it. He attends a school for wizardry--she could see him very plainly in her mind. By the time the train pulled into King's Cross Station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the plot were fully formed in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in pubs and cafes over her lunch hours.
In 1992 Rowling left off working in offices and moved to Portugal to teach English as a Second Language. In spite of her students making jokes about her name (this time they called her "Rolling Stone"), she enjoyed teaching. She worked afternoons and evenings, leaving mornings free for writing. After her marriage to a Portuguese TV journalist ended in divorce, Rowling returned to Britain with her infant daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes and chapters. She settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister and set out to finish the book before looking for a teaching job. Wheeling her daughter's carriage around the city to escape their tiny, cold apartment, she would ck into coffee shops to write when the baby fell asleep. In this way she finished the book and started sending it to publishers. It was rejected several times before she found an London agent, chosen because she liked his name--Christopher Little, who sold the manuscript to Bloomsbury Children's Books.
Rowling was working as a French teacher when she heard that her book about the boy wizard had been accepted for publication. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in June 1997 and achieved almost instant success. With the publication of the American edition, retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, in 1998, Rowling's books continued to make publishing history. Harry Potter climbed to the top of all the bestseller lists for children's and alt books. Indeed, the story of the boy wizard, his Cinderlad childhood, and his adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry caught the imagination of readers of all ages. In Britain a separate edition of the first book appeared with a more "alt" st jacket so that grown-ups reading it on trains and subways would not have to hide their behind a newspaper.
Jo Rowling lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with her daughter Jessica and continues to work on writing the seven-book saga of Harry Potter.
J.K.羅琳的生活展現出童話般的光芒，如同她所創造的魔法小巫師—哈利·波特。經歷了一次失敗的婚姻後，這個靠救濟金過日子，獨自撫養女兒的單親媽媽和出生不久的女兒搬到了愛丁堡的一個狹小的公寓里。為了逃離又小又冷的房間，她常待在住家附近的咖啡館里，待女兒熟睡後開始寫作，女兒睡多久，她就寫多久。就在這個小咖啡館里，她寫出了《哈利·波特與魔法石》，塑造了那個將她帶離窘境的小巫師。
喬安·凱瑟琳·羅琳出生在英格蘭的一家綜合醫院里，這對一個喜歡給別人起奇怪名字，喜歡坐著掃帚滿場飛奔的小姑娘來說，是個合適的開始。她的妹妹兩年後來到這個世上。
羅琳從小就喜歡寫作，五、六歲時就寫了一篇跟兔子有關的故事。小時候美好的記憶似乎總是圍繞閱讀的—得麻疹時聽爸爸大聲講故事，讀奇異的冒險故事，沉浸在奇妙的故事世界裡。
大學里，羅琳主修法語，在巴黎留學一年。畢業後，她搬去倫敦擔任調查員和雙語秘書。羅琳回憶說，那段時間最有趣的事情就是趁沒人的時候在電腦上打小說。1990年，時值24歲的羅琳坐在由曼撤斯特出發前往倫敦的火車上，哈利·波特闖入了她的生命。她可以在腦海里清晰地勾畫他的模樣，看到他進入魔法學校。四小時後，當火車駛入王十字車站時，大部分人物和故事的前期框架已經在她的腦海里形成了。當她午餐時間坐在咖啡館里繼續構思時，故事的結構變得更加清晰。
1992年，羅琳結束了白領生涯，前往葡萄牙做英語教師。盡管學生們常拿她的名字開玩笑，叫她滾石（英語中Rowling與rolling同音），她仍然非常喜歡教書。她在下午和晚上去學校工作，上午用來寫作。不久後，她與一名葡萄牙的電視台記者結婚，但這段婚姻最終以離婚告終。離婚後，羅琳帶著女兒和滿滿一箱子哈利·波特的筆記與手稿回到了英國。為了能住得靠近妹妹，羅琳在愛丁堡定居下來，准備在找新工作前完成這部小說。她常常推著女兒的手推車四處閑逛，只是為了逃離又小又冷的公寓。她會躲到咖啡館里，趁女兒睡著時寫作。就這樣，羅琳在咖啡館里完成了哈利·波特的創作，開始尋找出版商。但她的稿件被多次退回，直到她找到了一個倫敦的經紀人。羅琳之所以會找到他，僅僅是因為喜歡他可愛的名字—克里斯多夫·里特（Christopher Little）。
當羅琳得知這本關於小巫師的小說被出版商接受時，她正在一所學校教法語。《哈利·波特》才一出版，就大獲成功。隨著哈利·波特1998年在美國的出版，羅琳的書繼續創造著出版界的歷史。哈利·波特登上了兒童與成人書籍的最佳銷售榜的首位。確實，這個小巫師的故事，他灰姑娘一樣的童年，和他在霍格華茲魔法學校的歷險引發了各個年齡讀者的豐富想像力。在英國，出版商出版了一種更成人化封面的版本，使得大人們能在火車或者地鐵里閱讀而不用把書藏在報紙後面。
現在，J.A.羅琳和她的女兒捷西卡住在蘇格蘭的愛丁堡，繼續完成哈利·波特的冒險故事。
『伍』 英語作文 j.k羅琳 的小說《哈利.波特》的介紹
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by the British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the adolescent wizard Harry Potter and his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main story arc concerns Harry's quest to overcome the evil dark wizard Lord Voldemort, whose aim is to subjugate non-magical people, conquer the wizarding world, and destroy all those who stand in his way, especially Harry Potter.
Since the 30 June 1997 release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide.[2] The series has also had some share of criticism, including concern for the increasingly dark tone. As of June 2011[update], the book series has sold about 450 million copies and has been translated into 67 languages,[3][4] and the last four books consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history.
A series of many genres, including fantasy and coming of age (with elements of mystery, thriller, and romance), it has many cultural meanings and references.[5][6][7][8] According to Rowling, the main theme is death,[9] although it is primarily considered to be a work of children's literature. There are also many other themes in the series, such as love and prejudice.[10]

In December 1990, Rowling』s mother succumbed to a 10-year-long battle with multiple sclerosis. Rowling commented, 「I was writing Harry Potter at the moment my mother died. I had never told her about Harry Potter.
After studying French and Classics at the University of Exeter (she had previously applied to Oxford but was turned down), with a year of study in Paris, she moved to London to work as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International. During this period, while she was on a four-hour delayed-train trip between Manchester and London, she had the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry. When she had reached her Clapham Junction flat, she began writing immediately.
Rowling then moved to Porto, Portugal to teach English as a foreign language. While there, she married Portuguese television journalist Jorge Arantes on 16 October 1992. They had one child, Jessica, who was named after Rowling』s heroine, Jessica Mitford. They divorced in 1993 after a fight in which Jorge threw her out of the house.
In December 1994, Rowling and her daughter moved to be near Rowling』s sister in Edinburgh, Scotland. Unemployed and living on state benefits, she completed her first novel. She did much of the work in the Elephant House café whenever she could get Jessica to fall asleep. There was a rumour that she wrote in local cafés to escape from her unheated flat, but in a 2001 BBC interview Rowling remarked, 「I am not stupid enough to rent an unheated flat in Edinburgh in midwinter. It had heating.」

1992年,羅琳結束了白領生涯,前往葡萄牙做英語教師.盡管學生們常拿她的名字開玩笑,叫她滾石（英語中Rowling與rolling同音）,她仍然非常喜歡教書.她在下午和晚上去學校工作,上午用來寫作.不久後,她與一名葡萄牙的電視台記者結婚,但這段婚姻最終以離婚告終.離婚後,羅琳帶著女兒和滿滿一箱子哈利·波特的筆記與手稿回到了英國.為了能住得靠近妹妹,羅琳在愛丁堡定居下來,准備在找新工作前完成這部小說.她常常推著女兒的手推車四處閑逛,只是為了逃離又小又冷的公寓.她會躲到咖啡館里,趁女兒睡著時寫作.就這樣,羅琳在咖啡館里完成了哈利·波特的創作,開始尋找出版商.但她的稿件被多次退回,直到她找到了一個倫敦的經紀人.羅琳之所以會找到他,僅僅是因為喜歡他可愛的名字—克里斯多夫·里特（Christopher Little）.
當羅琳得知這本關於小巫師的小說被出版商接受時,她正在一所學校教法語.《哈利·波特》才一出版,就大獲成功.隨著哈利·波特1998年在美國的出版,羅琳的書繼續創造著出版界的歷史.哈利·波特登上了兒童與成人書籍的最佳銷售榜的首位.確實,這個小巫師的故事,他灰姑娘一樣的童年,和他在霍格華茲魔法學校的歷險引發了各個年齡讀者的豐富想像力.在英國,出版商出版了一種更成人化封面的版本,使得大人們能在火車或者地鐵里閱讀而不用把書藏在報紙後面.
現在,J.A.羅琳和她的女兒捷西卡住在蘇格蘭的愛丁堡,繼續完成哈利·波特的冒險故事.
