河北现《哈利波特》霍格沃茨魔法学校引热议

It's every Harry Potter fan's dream - a real-life Hogwarts is currently being built in China.

这是所有哈利·波特粉丝的梦想——中国正在建造一座真实的霍格沃茨魔法学校。

The enormous new university building in Xinle City, Hebei Province, features a giant clock tower, castle walls and turrets.

这座宏伟的高校建筑位于河北省新乐市，是一座有着高耸的塔楼、石壁和塔楼的城堡建筑。

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.

这座“魔法城堡”外形酷肖魔法题材巨制《哈利·波特》中的魔法学校霍格沃茨——实际上，电影中的霍格沃茨是以英国诺森伯兰郡的阿尼克城堡为原型拍摄的，还加上了一点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.

此建筑的设计师称，该校是仿照中世纪欧洲的城堡建筑来涉及这座校舍的，而不是效仿《哈利·波特》中的魔法城堡。然而二者却有着惊人的相似。

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.

校方称，这座新建筑今年下半年将正式投入使用，迎接第一批新生。但是校方并没有说明，这些新生会不会学习魔法或者参加魁地奇球赛。
