Harry sat downoppositethe ghost in the ruff he'd seen earlier.
哈利在他曾见过的戴着花环的鬼魂对面坐了下来。
The ghost patted his arm, giving Harry the sudden, horrible feeling he'd just plunged it into a bucket of ice-cold water.

He could see the High Table properly now. At the end nearest him sat Hagrid, who caught his eye and gave him the thumbs up.
他现在可以清楚地看到高台上的桌子了。坐在靠近他那端的最边上的哈格力对着他竖起大拇指。
Harry grinned back. And there, in the center of the High Table, in a large gold chair, sat Albus Dumbledore.
在桌子的正中央，有一张很大的金子制的椅子，艾伯斯·丹伯多坐在那里。
Harry recognized him at once from the card he'd gotten out of the Chocolate Frog on the train.

Turpin, Lisa, became a Ravenclaw and then it was Ron's turn. He was pale green by now.

Harry crossed his fingers under the table and a second later the hat had shouted, “GRYFFINDOR!”
哈利在桌下双手合十，几秒钟后，格林芬顿！帽子喊。
Harry clapped loudly with the rest as Ron collapsed into the chair next to him.

Well done, Ron, excellent, said Percy Weasley pompously across Harry as “Zabini, Blaise,” was made a Slytherin.
干得好，罗恩，太棒了！伯希·威斯里越过哈利，表情十分夸张地对罗恩说。这时，最后一位，布雷斯·扎毕尼选择了史林德林。

Is he — a bit mad?he asked Percy uncertainly.
他是不是有点神经病？哈利不由得问伯希。
Mad?said Percy airily. He's a genius! Best wizard in the world! But he is a bit mad, yes. Potatoes, Harry?
神经病？伯希得意地说，"他可是个天才！他是世上最好的魔法师！不过，他的脑袋确实有点问题。吃西红柿吗，哈利？"
