『壹』 J.K.罗琳的英文简介
大姐，不是我不努力啊实在是水平有限，英语也太差，翻译不了，您自己翻译好了： J.K.罗琳本名乔安妮·凯瑟琳·罗琳，1965年7月31日生于英国的格温特郡。她父亲是罗伊斯罗尔飞机制造厂一名退休的管理人员，母亲是一位实验室技术人员。罗琳小时候是个戴眼镜的相貌平平的女孩，非常爱学习，有点害羞，流着鼻涕，还比较野。她从小喜欢写作和讲故事，6岁就写了一篇跟兔子有关的故事。妹妹是她讲故事的对象，创作的动力和欲望，从此没有离开过她。
罗琳热爱英国文学，大学主修的是法语。毕业后，她只身前往葡萄牙发展，随即和当地的一位记者坠入情网。无奈的是，这段婚姻来得快也去得快。不久，她便带着3个月大的女儿洁西卡回到了英国，栖身于爱丁堡一间没有暖气的小公寓里。找不到工作的她，只好靠着微薄的失业救挤金养活自己和女儿。
24岁那年，罗琳在曼彻斯特前往伦敦的火车旅途中，一个瘦弱、戴着眼镜的黑发小巫师，一直在车窗外对着她微笑。他一下子闯进了她的生命。虽然当时她的手边没有纸和笔，但她开始天马行空地想象，终于把这个哈利·波特的男孩故事推向了世界。于是，哈利·波特诞生了——一个10岁小男孩，瘦小的个子，黑色乱蓬蓬的头发，明亮的绿色眼睛，戴着圆形眼镜，前额上有一道细长、闪电状的伤疤……哈利·波特成为风靡全球的童话人物。
作为一个单身母亲，罗琳母女的生活极其艰辛。在开始写作哈利·波特系列童话的第一部《哈利·波特与魔法石》时，罗琳因为自家的屋子又小又冷，时常到住家附近的一家咖啡馆里把哈里·波特的故事写在小纸片上。不过，她的努力很快得到了回报。童话一出版便备受瞩目，好评如潮，其中包括英国国家图书奖儿童小说奖，以及斯马蒂图书金奖章奖。随后罗琳又分别于1998年与1999年创作了《哈利·波特与密室》和《哈利·波特与阿兹卡班的囚徒》，进一步轰动世界。2000年7月，随着第四部《哈利·波特与火杯》的问世，世界范围的哈利·波特热持续升温，创造了出版史上的神话。据悉“哈利·波特”系列还将有三部作品。最新公布的销售数字显示，罗林撰写的《哈利波特》系列小说第一集，已成为2001年英国最畅销的小说。它来创下了用46种文字在全世界发行3500万册的惊人纪录。而根据这本小说拍摄的电影自从最近上映以来，也纷纷在世界不少地方打破当地的票房纪录。
罗琳女士和女儿住在爱丁堡。但单身的她，已于2001年圣诞节后节礼日（Boxing Day）与30岁男友默里在苏格兰的新居举行结婚典礼。婚事的办理相当低调，只有15人出席，而且出席者大多是双方的亲属。有趣的是，罗林与前夫所生的8岁大的女儿，在母亲的再婚礼上充任三位伴娘中的一位。
目前，罗琳已名列英国第二富婆。她的故事犹如现代版的灰姑娘，在世界各地流传着。

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

英汉对照
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.罗琳的生活展现出童话般的光芒，如同她所创造的魔法小巫师—哈利·波特。经历了一次失败的婚姻后，这个靠救济金过日子，独自抚养女儿的单亲妈妈和出生不久的女儿搬到了爱丁堡的一个狭小的公寓里。为了逃离又小又冷的房间，她常待在住家附近的咖啡馆里，待女儿熟睡后开始写作，女儿睡多久，她就写多久。就在这个小咖啡馆里，她写出了《哈利·波特与魔法石》，塑造了那个将她带离窘境的小巫师。
乔安·凯瑟琳·罗琳出生在英格兰的一家综合医院里，这对一个喜欢给别人起奇怪名字，喜欢坐着扫帚满场飞奔的小姑娘来说，是个合适的开始。她的妹妹两年后来到这个世上。
罗琳从小就喜欢写作，五、六岁时就写了一篇跟兔子有关的故事。小时候美好的记忆似乎总是围绕阅读的—得麻疹时听爸爸大声讲故事，读奇异的冒险故事，沉浸在奇妙的故事世界里。
大学里，罗琳主修法语，在巴黎留学一年。毕业后，她搬去伦敦担任调查员和双语秘书。罗琳回忆说，那段时间最有趣的事情就是趁没人的时候在电脑上打小说。1990年，时值24岁的罗琳坐在由曼撤斯特出发前往伦敦的火车上，哈利·波特闯入了她的生命。她可以在脑海里清晰地勾画他的模样，看到他进入魔法学校。四小时后，当火车驶入王十字车站时，大部分人物和故事的前期框架已经在她的脑海里形成了。当她午餐时间坐在咖啡馆里继续构思时，故事的结构变得更加清晰。
1992年，罗琳结束了白领生涯，前往葡萄牙做英语教师。尽管学生们常拿她的名字开玩笑，叫她滚石（英语中Rowling与rolling同音），她仍然非常喜欢教书。她在下午和晚上去学校工作，上午用来写作。不久后，她与一名葡萄牙的电视台记者结婚，但这段婚姻最终以离婚告终。离婚后，罗琳带着女儿和满满一箱子哈利·波特的笔记与手稿回到了英国。为了能住得靠近妹妹，罗琳在爱丁堡定居下来，准备在找新工作前完成这部小说。她常常推着女儿的手推车四处闲逛，只是为了逃离又小又冷的公寓。她会躲到咖啡馆里，趁女儿睡着时写作。就这样，罗琳在咖啡馆里完成了哈利·波特的创作，开始寻找出版商。但她的稿件被多次退回，直到她找到了一个伦敦的经纪人。罗琳之所以会找到他，仅仅是因为喜欢他可爱的名字—克里斯多夫·里特（Christopher Little）。
当罗琳得知这本关于小巫师的小说被出版商接受时，她正在一所学校教法语。《哈利·波特》才一出版，就大获成功。随着哈利·波特1998年在美国的出版，罗琳的书继续创造着出版界的历史。哈利·波特登上了儿童与成人书籍的最佳销售榜的首位。确实，这个小巫师的故事，他灰姑娘一样的童年，和他在霍格华兹魔法学校的历险引发了各个年龄读者的丰富想象力。在英国，出版商出版了一种更成人化封面的版本，使得大人们能在火车或者地铁里阅读而不用把书藏在报纸后面。
现在，J.A.罗琳和她的女儿捷西卡住在苏格兰的爱丁堡，继续完成哈利·波特的冒险故事。
『伍』 英语作文 j.k罗琳 的小说《哈利.波特》的介绍
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]

There are numerous Welsh references to places, things and people in Harry Potter, which could be attributed to her time in Chepstow.
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.”

当罗琳得知这本关于小巫师的小说被出版商接受时,她正在一所学校教法语.《哈利·波特》才一出版,就大获成功.随着哈利·波特1998年在美国的出版,罗琳的书继续创造着出版界的历史.哈利·波特登上了儿童与成人书籍的最佳销售榜的首位.确实,这个小巫师的故事,他灰姑娘一样的童年,和他在霍格华兹魔法学校的历险引发了各个年龄读者的丰富想象力.在英国,出版商出版了一种更成人化封面的版本,使得大人们能在火车或者地铁里阅读而不用把书藏在报纸后面.
现在,J.A.罗琳和她的女儿捷西卡住在苏格兰的爱丁堡,继续完成哈利·波特的冒险故事.
