姨丈

我姨丈约翰送我一台脚踏车当生日礼物。

My uncle John sent me a bike as a birthday gift .

她在校外与阿姨姨丈同住。

She lived off campus with her aunt and uncle .

又一声哼哼，哈利以为姨丈答应了，

Grunt . Harry supposed that meant yes .

姨妈、姨丈面面相觑：

His aunt and uncle stared .

大家族产生了叔伯姨丈、姑姨舅妈、堂表兄弟姐妹的巨大关系网，这些人可以提供建议、指导、广开门路。

Large families create a large network of uncles , aunts and cousins who can offer advice and mentorship and create connections .

哈利一直觉得姨妈这家人好心得出奇，直到维能姨丈脸带令人作呕的奸笑朝着站台一动不动地站在那里为止。

Harry thought this was strangely kind until Uncle Vernon stopped dead , facing the platforms with a nasty grin on his face .

她是一名糖尿病患者。一天，她在电视上看到一则广告，说在拉合尔有个医生有秘方医治糖尿病，便说服姨丈带她去看那个医生。

She was diabetic and had seen a TV advert for a doctor in Lahore with some miracle treatment and persuaded my uncle to take her there .

我当上总统后，卡尔姨丈的表弟卡特。拉塞尔仍然在霍普镇有一个卖西瓜的摊位，在那里你可以品尝到又红又甜的西瓜，不过黄瓤的更甜。

When I became President , Uncle Carl 's cousin Carter Russell still had a watermelon stand in Hope where you could get good red or the sweeter yellow melons .

在维能姨丈怒气冲冲地向邮局和牛奶场打电话找人投诉的时候，帕尤妮亚姨妈已经用她的食品搅拌器把信搅得粉碎了。

While Uncle Vernon made furious telephone calls to the post office and the dairy trying to find someone to complain to , Aunt Petunia shredded the letters in her food processor .

我看到卡尔姨丈种的正是这一品种的西瓜。他用洗衣盆把水浇到沙地上的西瓜周围，一边看着瓜秧像台吸尘器一般把水吸了进去。

Those are the ones I saw my great-uncle Carl grow , pouring water from a washtub into the soil around the melons and watching the stalks suck it up like a vacuum cleaner .

八月三十一日，哈利觉得最好还是将第二天要去国王大道车站一事告知姨妈、姨丈，便来到客厅里。此时，姨妈一家人正在看电视上的问答游戏。

On the last day of August he thought he 'd better speak to his aunt and uncle about getting to King 's Cross station the next day , so he went down to the living room where they were watching a quiz show on television .

的确，达德里因害怕哈利，现在甚至不敢与他同处一室了，而帕尤尼亚姨妈和维能姨丈也不再把哈利锁在壁橱里了，他们也没有强迫哈利干活或者对他呼呼喝喝的。——其实，他们压根儿就没再跟他说过话。

True , Dudley was now so scared of Harry he wouldn 't stay in the same room , while Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon didn 't shut Harry in his cupboard , force him to do anything , or shout at him - in fact , they didn 't speak to him at all .
