双语- 赴美签证系统瘫痪而暂停 波及哈利波特

Daniel Radcliffe may have led a charmed life until now - but it seems not even he can work his magic on U.S. customs officers.
　　迄今为止，丹尼尔·雷德克里夫的生活或许一直很幸运，但是看起来他的魔力对美国海关官员无效。

       

　　The Harry Potter star was stopped by American border guards yesterday when he tried to cross into the country from Canada, because he had failed to properly upgrade his visa.
　　昨天，这位哈利波特扮演者试图从加拿大入境时被美国边境警卫拦住，原因是他没有更新自己的签证。

　　It was a setback that Harry Potter could have easily overcome with a simple 'Alohomora' unlocking charm - a door-opening enchantment first used by Hermione in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
　　哈利波特能轻易的用一个简单的开锁咒“阿拉霍洞开”解决这个问题。这个咒语首次登场是在《哈利波特与魔法石》中由赫敏使用。

　　But unhappily for Radcliffe, the door stayed firmly shut after he traveled to Toronto to attend a premiere of his movie 'What If' and to celebrate his 25th birthday on Wednesday.
　　遗憾的是，对雷德克里夫而言，在他前往多伦多参加自己的电影What If的首映式并庆祝25岁生日后，大门被紧紧关上了。

'He’s stuck in Toronto with visa problems,' a source told the New York Post, explaining why he couldn't get the rubber stamp in time. '[The U.S. embassy's] computer system was down.'
　　“他因为签证问题被困在多伦多，”线人告诉《纽约邮报》，雷德克里夫需要解释自己的签证为什么没盖章，“（美国大使馆的）电脑系统坏了”。

　　

　　According to the paper, Radcliffe is in the process of upgrading his P-2 visa -- for foreign actors and entertainers -- to an O-1 visa for 'the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics'.
　　据《纽约邮报》报道，雷德克里夫正在将自己的P-2签证升级为O-1签证。P-2针对外国演艺人员，而O-1则针对“在科学、艺术、商业或体育方面有卓越能力的个人”。
