河北現《哈利波特》霍格沃茨魔法學校引熱議
It's every Harry Potter fan's dream - a real-life Hogwarts is currently being built in China.
這是所有哈利·波特粉絲的夢想——中國正在建造一座真實的霍格沃茨魔法學校。
The enormous new university building in Xinle City, Hebei Province, features a giant clock tower, castle walls and turrets.
這座宏偉的高校建築位於河北省新樂市，是一座有着高聳的塔樓、石壁和塔樓的城堡建築。
The 'magical' building bears an uncanny resemblance to Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry from the hit Harry Potter films - actually Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, with a little CGI enhancement.
這座“魔法城堡”外形酷肖魔法題材鉅製《哈利·波特》中的魔法學校霍格沃茨——實際上，電影中的霍格沃茨是以英國諾森伯蘭郡的阿尼克城堡爲原型拍攝的，還加上了一點CGI特效。
But designers say the university is modelled on the architecture of the castles of medieval Europe, rather than Harry Potter's school but the resemblance is startling.
此建築的設計師稱，該校是仿照中世紀歐洲的城堡建築來涉及這座校舍的，而不是效仿《哈利·波特》中的魔法城堡。然而二者卻有着驚人的相似。
The university expects to welcome its first students into the new building later this year but there was no word on whether they would be able to study magic or join the Quidditch society.
校方稱，這座新建築今年下半年將正式投入使用，迎接第一批新生。但是校方並沒有說明，這些新生會不會學習魔法或者參加魁地奇球賽。
