  基蒂正在给英国的作家J.K.罗琳写信，告诉她一些有关哈利·波特的事情。帮基蒂检查一下她使用的语言，如果必要的话，可以对它加以修改。

• Hi! I think you'll laugh when you read this letter. Believe it or not, there's a real Harry Potter in the world. It's said that it's a lot of trouble being Harry Potter, esp. when you're a 78-yr-old man and you happen to share the name of a world-famous boy with magic powers. The real Harry Potter often gets phone calls from both children and TV stations. The kids want to know if I'm Harry Potter,' he says with a smile. 'I tell them I've been Harry Potter for nearly 80 years!' However, the real Harry Potter says the Harry Potter series isn't his cup of tea, and he doesn't care if he's famous or not. Love, Kitty

  你好！ 我想当你读到这封信的时候，你会大笑起来。信不信由你，世界上真的有一个哈利·波特。据说，当哈利·波特会惹许多麻烦，尤其是当你是一个78岁的老头时，你竟然碰上一个带有魔力的世界知名男孩和你同名。 真正的哈利·波特经常会接到孩子们和电视台的电话。“孩子们想知道我是不是哈利·波特，”他笑着说。“我告诉他们说，我当哈利·波特已经将近80年了！” 然而，真正的哈利·波特却说，《哈利·波特》系列并不是他的心爱之物，他不在乎他是不是有名。 爱你的， 基蒂
