Hermione didn't turn up for the next class and wasn't seen all afternoon.
下一节课赫敏没有露面,而且整个下午都不见人影。
On their way down to the Great Hall for the Halloween feast,
哈利和罗恩下楼走向餐厅,去参加万圣节前夕的宴会,
Harry and Ron overheard Parvati Patil telling her friend Lavender that Hermione was crying in the girls' bathroom and wanted to be left alone.
无意间听见佩蒂尔对她的朋友拉文德说,赫敏在女厕所里伤心地哭泣,还不让别人安慰她。
Ron looked still more awkward at this, but a moment later they had entered the Great Hall,
罗恩听了这话,显得更不自在了。
where the Halloween decorations put Hermione out of their minds.
然而片刻之后,当他们走进餐厅、看见五光十色的万圣节装饰品时,立刻就把赫敏忘到了脑后。
A thousand live bats fluttered from the walls and ceiling while a thousand more swooped over the tables in low black clouds,
一千只蝙蝠在墙壁和天花板上扑棱棱地飞翔,另外还有一千只像一团团低矮的乌云,
making the candles in the pumpkins stutter.
在餐桌上方盘旋飞舞,使南瓜肚里的蜡烛火苗一阵阵扑闪。
The feast appeared suddenly on the golden plates, as it had at the start-of-term banquet.
美味佳肴突然出现在金色的盘子里,就跟在开学的那次宴会上一样。
Harry was just helping himself to a baked potato when Professor Quirrell came sprinting into the hall,
哈利正在吃一个带皮的土豆,奇洛教授突然一头冲进了餐厅,
his turban askew and terror on his face.
他的大围巾歪戴在头上,脸上满是惊恐的神色。
Everyone stared as he reached Professor Dumbledore's chair, slumped against the table, and gasped,
大家都盯着他,只见他走到邓布利多教授的椅子旁,一歪身倚在桌子上,喘着气说
Troll -- in the dungeons -- thought you ought to know.
巨怪……在地下教室里……以为你应该知道的。
He then sank to the floor in a dead faint.
说完,他一头栽到在地板上,昏死了过去。
There was an uproar. It took several purple firecrackers exploding from the end of Professor Dumbledore's wand to bring silence.
餐厅里顿时乱成一团。邓布利多教授不得不使他的魔杖头上发出几次刺耳的烟火爆炸声,大家才安静下来。
Prefects,he rumbled, lead your Houses back to the dormitories immediately!
级长,他声音低沉地说,立刻把你们学院的学生领到宿舍去!
