罗琳在官网留下了一封信给所有的书迷: DECEMBER 25th That tired old welcome page was starting to bug me, so I thought I'd give you something new for Christmas. I've tried keeping a diary many times in the past and never got much further than January 15th, but I've been feeling the need for a place to put everyday updates that don't qualify as real 'news'. As ever, if there is a quiet spell you should not take it as a sign that I've given up diary writing, but rather that I am working hard on something a little more eagerly anticipated... For 2006 will be the year when I write the final book in the Harry Potter series. I contemplate the task with mingled feelings of excitement and dread, because I can't wait to get started, to tell the final part of the story and, at last, to answer all the questions (will I ever answer all of the questions? Let's aim for most of the questions); and yet it will all be over at last and I can't quite imagine life without Harry. However (clears throat in stern British manner) this is no time to get maudlin. I have been fine-tuning the fine-tuned plan of seven during the past few weeks so that I can really set to work in January. Reading through the plan is like contemplating the map of an unknown country in which I will soon find myself. Sometimes, even at this stage, you can see trouble looming; nearly all of the six published books have had Chapters of Doom. The quintessential, never, I hope, to be beaten Chapter That Nearly Broke My Will To Go On was chapter nine, 'Goblet of Fire' (appropriately enough, 'The Dark Mark'.) As for this website, I've got plans...you'll find out what they are in due course (constant vigilance, my friends). In the meantime, happy holidays to everyone, and if Father Christmas has already squeezed down your chimney, I hope he left something good 大概翻译一下: 12月25日 因为已经对官网一直都没变的首页感到厌倦了, 所以我决定写些新东西在圣诞节给你们. 我每一年都尝试着要开始写日记, 但都撑不过1月15日.不过我觉得有需要找个地方每日更新一些东西. 如果我没有时常新增东西就是因为我正在努力另外一些值得期待的事..... 2006年将是我撰写最後一本哈利波特系列的一年, 我的心情参杂着兴奋和难过, 因为我很期待可以开始撰写最後一段故事也终於可以回答所有的问题 (也许不是全部但至少可以是大部分的问题), 但是结束了之後我无法想像没有了哈利的生活. 不过(用英式礼仪清了清喉咙),现在还不用感到伤心. 在过去几个礼拜我已经完整的整理好第7集该有的素材和计画, 可以在1月开始动笔了. 在我读着我过去所准备好的素材时,就像是要前往一个我未知的国度寻找自我一样. 有时候,可以说是随时,都会有困扰的瓶颈情形发生. 在目前已发行的6本书中每一本都有一个章节特别难写. 目前为止最让我感到挫折且差点写不下去的是"火杯的考验"中的第9章. 对於这个网站我也有计画,你们将会在未来发现的(大家要提高警觉). 在这期间,祝大家假期愉快! 如果圣诞老人已经挤进去了你家的烟囱,希望他留了一些好东西. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 另外官方网站也在Rumors和FAQ poll都有新增 http://www.jkrowling.com/ --
