CHAPTER SEVEN THE SORTING HAT
第七章 分院帽
The door swung open at once. A tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face and Harry's first thought was that this was not someone to cross. "The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid. "Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here." She pulled the door wide. The entrance hall was so big you could have fit the whole of the Dursleys' house in it. The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts, the ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors. They followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. Harry could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right— the rest of the school must already be here— but Professor McGonagall showed the first years into a small, empty chamber off the hall.
門一下子打開了,一個(gè)身材高挑、黑發(fā)、身穿翠綠色長袍的女巫站在那里。她面色嚴(yán)肅,哈利認(rèn)為她是一個(gè)不可惹的人。“麥格教授,這是一年級的學(xué)生們?!焙8裾f。“謝謝你,海格。我會(huì)把他們帶走的?!彼验T拉開。入口大廳很大,可以把德思禮家的整個(gè)房子都塞進(jìn)去。石墻上點(diǎn)著火把,就像古靈閣的一樣,天花板高得看不清,他們面前是一條宏偉的大理石樓梯,通往樓上。他們跟著麥格教授走過鋪著石板的地板。哈利可以聽到右邊門口傳來數(shù)百人的聲音,學(xué)校的其他人一定已經(jīng)到了,但麥格教授把一年級學(xué)生領(lǐng)進(jìn)了大廳外的一間小小的空房間。
They crowded in, standing rather closer together than they would usually have done, peering about nervously. "Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room."
他們擠了進(jìn)來,站得比平時(shí)更近,緊張地四處張望?!皻g迎來到霍格沃茨,”麥格教授說?!伴_學(xué)宴會(huì)很快就要開始了,但在你們在禮堂就座之前,你們會(huì)被分到各自的學(xué)院。分院是一個(gè)非常重要的儀式,因?yàn)楫?dāng)你在這里時(shí),你的學(xué)院就像你在霍格沃茨的家人一樣。你將和學(xué)院的其他同學(xué)一起上課,睡在學(xué)院的宿舍里,并在學(xué)院的公共休息室里度過閑暇時(shí)光?!?/p>
"The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rulebreaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours. The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting."
“這四個(gè)學(xué)院分別是格蘭芬多、赫奇帕奇、拉文克勞和斯萊特林。每個(gè)學(xué)院都有自己輝煌的歷史,也都培養(yǎng)出了杰出的巫師和女巫。在霍格沃茨,你們的勝利將為你們的學(xué)院加分,而任何違反規(guī)則的行為都將會(huì)為學(xué)院扣分。在學(xué)年結(jié)束時(shí),分?jǐn)?shù)最高的學(xué)院將獲得學(xué)院杯,這是一項(xiàng)巨大的榮譽(yù)。我希望你們每個(gè)人都能為你們所在的學(xué)院增光添彩。分院儀式將在幾分鐘后在學(xué)校其他同學(xué)面前舉行。我建議你們在等待的時(shí)候盡可能打扮得整潔些?!?/p>
Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron's smudged nose. Harry nervously tried to flatten his hair. "I shall return when we are ready for you," said Professor McGonagall. "Please wait quietly." She left the chamber. Harry swallowed. "How exactly do they sort us into houses?" he asked Ron. "Some sort of test, I think. Fred said it hurts a lot, but I think he was joking." Harry's heart gave a horrible jolt. A test? In front of the whole school? But he didn't know any magic yet — what on earth would he have to do? He hadn't expected something like this the moment they arrived.
她的目光在納威系在左耳的斗篷上停留了一會(huì)兒又看了看羅恩臟兮兮的鼻子。哈利緊張地?fù)崞筋^發(fā)?!暗任覀兡沁厹?zhǔn)備好了,我會(huì)回來,”麥格教授說。“請安靜地等待?!彼x開了密室。哈利咽了口唾沫。 “他們到底是怎么把我們分到不同的學(xué)院的?”他問羅恩?!拔蚁胧悄撤N測試吧。弗雷德說會(huì)很痛苦,但我想他是在開玩笑?!惫男拿偷匾惶?。測試?當(dāng)著全校的面?但他還不懂魔法——他到底該怎么辦?他可沒有想到會(huì)發(fā)生這樣的事情。
