Свершилось!

Прочитала половину первой книжки о похождениях Гарри Поттера (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone). Любимых (повторяющихся) словечек у Rowling мало, но вот такие встретились несколько раз:

afford = aff = быть в состоянии, позволить себе, доставлять, проносить;

as though = as if = как будто бы;

fit into = подходить, умещать, втискивать;

for ages = целую вечность, не помню и когда;

grin = гримаса, усмешка; ухмыляться;

roll call = перекличка, сигнал сбора;
snap = выкрикнуть, рявкнуть, прощелкать;

so for = до сих пор, пока, до настоящего времени.
