這兩個詞都是不規範的表達,正確的表達應該是swore,myself。這樣的表達是小孩子或沒受過教育的人常說的。1

文化面面觀 什麼是魔法 About magicMagic, in religion and superstition, the practice ofmanipulatingand controlling the course of nature by preternaturalmeans. Magicis based upon the belief that the universe is populatedby unseenforces or spirits that permeate all things. Becausethesesupernatural forces are thought to govern the course ofnaturalevents, control of these forces gives humans control overnature.The practice of magic is held to depend on the proper use ofboththe ritual and the spell. The spell, or incantation, is thecore ofthe magical ceremony; it unlocks the full power of theritual. Thepractice of magic, in seeking its desired end, maycombines withinits scope elements of religion and science. Inalchemy, forexample, the process of transmuting a base metal intogold requiresprecise weights and volumes of acids, bases, andcatalysts as wellas the reciting of holy passages and prayers.
Anthropologists often distinguish between two forms of magic,thesympathetic and the contiguous. Sympathetic magic works ontheprinciple that like produces like. The Ojibwa of NorthAmericawould make a wooden image of an enemy and then stick pinsinto it.Because the doll represented the enemy, harm done to thedoll wasbelieved to harm the enemy. Contiguous magic operates onthe beliefthat things that have been in contact will continue toact on eachother after the physical contact has ceased. Theaborigines ofAustralia believe that they can lame a person byplacing sharppieces of quartz, glass, bone, or charcoal in thatpersonsfootprints. Sometimes both sympathetic and contiguous magicareused in conjunction; certain African tribespeople will build aclayeffigy around nail clippings, hairs, or bits of cloth belongingtothe enemy and roast the completed image slowly in a fire.
Not all magic is performed in order to harm or destroy, andforthis reason a distinction is made between black magic andwhitemagic. White magic is characterized by those rites andspellsdesigned to produce beneficial effects for the community(seefertility rites) or for the individual, particularly in thosecaseswhere an illness is considered to be the result of evil demonsorof black magic.

影片對白 Im Harry. Harry Potter.
文化面面觀 什麼是魔法 About magic 小編評語對於這部電影就不用多說了吧。這部由風靡全球的哈利·波特系列小說改變的電影一上映就創下了票房奇蹟。影片大量採用電影數碼科技,運用卓越的化妝術,把想像化為逼真,使現實與傳奇融為一體,通過造型化妝把片中大量古靈精怪的人物展現出來,離奇古怪,魔法施展變化多端,令人嘖嘖稱奇。當新生們坐著船向學校駛去的時候,前方的城堡看起來仿佛夢幻一般;感恩節晚宴上到處漂浮的南瓜燈和蠟燭是多少孩子夢中的景象……可以說,這部電影將兒童的幻想以逼真而又夢幻的形式呈現出來,滿足了孩子們的想像,也圓了成人們的夢。這也是它如此受歡迎的原因之一。
