　　該句中的“mother of the magic boy Harry Potter”是對前面主語的進一步說明，作同位語；謂語部分“do an Internet interview about”意為“就……進行網上見面”。句意：英國作家J.K.羅琳，魔法男孩哈里·波特的“媽媽”，將于6月26日與網友見面，談論有關她的新書《哈里·波特與混血王子》的情況。

　　與感恩節有關的英語詞匯

　　Talk Turkey：打開窗戶說亮話，嚴肅談某事

　　相傳在北美殖民時期，一個白人和一個印第安人去打獵，事先說好了平分打到的獵物。結果一天下來只打到一只火雞和一只鷓鴣。白人心里想要火雞，但又不敢直接說，于是對印第安人說：“如果你想要火雞，就拿去吧！鷓鴣雖小一些，味道卻很鮮美；如果你喜歡鷓鴣，我就拿火雞了。”印第安人一聽就明白了，于是針鋒相對地說：“你一直講火雞，現在讓我也講講火雞吧！”于是talk turkey演變成了“打開窗戶說亮話，談正經事，坦誠地說話”的意思了。如：1.If you are willing to talk turkey, the problem between us can be easily settled.如果你愿意實實在在地說話，那么我們之間的問題就可以很容易地解決。2.Generally he is an easy-going person, but when it comes to religious belief he talks turkey.一般來說，他是一個隨和的人，但一談到宗教信仰，他就正經起來。
