At long last, the train stopped at Hogsmeade station, and there was a great scramble to get out;
最后，火車終于在霍格沃茨車站停了下來，下車的時候可真是一片忙亂：
owls hooted, cats miaowed, and Neville's pet toad croaked loudly from under his hat.
貓頭鷹啼叫，貓兒喵喵，納威的寵物蟾蜍在他的帽子底下呱呱叫著。
It was freezing on the tiny platform; rain was driving down in icy sheets.
那小小的站臺已經結冰了，冷雨嘩嘩地下著。
'Firs'-years this way!' called a familiar voice.
“一年級的到這里來！”一個熟悉的聲音叫道。
Harry, Ron and Hermione turned and saw the gigantic outline of Hagrid at the other end of the platform,
哈利、羅恩和赫敏回過身來，看到了站臺那一端海格魁梧的身材。
beckoning the terrified-looking new students forward for their traditional journey across the lake.
他正向驚慌失措的新學生招手，要帶領他們去經歷傳統的渡過湖泊的旅行。
'All righ', you three?' Hagrid yelled over the heads of the crowd.
“好嗎，你們三個？”海格越過那許多腦袋沖著他們喊道。
They waved at him, but had no chance to speak to him because the mass of people around them was shunting them away along the platform.
他們向他揮手，但是沒有機會和他說話，因為他們周圍的人正推著他們沿著站臺向前走。
Harry, Ron and Hermione followed the rest of the school out onto a rough mud track,
哈利、羅恩和赫敏跟隨學校的其他學生走上了一條粗糙泥濘的路，
where at least a hundred stagecoaches awaited the remaining students, each pulled, Harry could only assume,
那里至少有一百輛馬車在等候剩下的學生，每輛車由一匹隱形的馬拉著，哈利只能這樣假定，
by an invisible horse, because when they climbed inside one and shut the door, the coach set off all by itself, bumping and swaying in procession.
因為等到他們爬進一輛馬車并且關上車門以后，馬車就自動行駛起來，一路跌跌撞撞的。
The coach smelled faintly of mould and straw.
馬車里面有一股淡淡的霉味和稻草味。
Harry felt better since the chocolate, but still weak.
哈利覺得自從吃了巧克力以后就好一些了，不過他仍舊感到虛弱無力。
Ron and Hermione kept looking at him sideways, as though frightened he might collapse again.
羅恩和赫敏一直在偷偷地看他，似乎怕他再次崩潰。
As the carriage trundled towards a pair of magnificent wrought-iron gates, flanked with stone columns topped with winged boars,
馬車滾滾行進，前方是一對宏偉壯麗的鑄鐵門，兩旁是許多石柱，預端有帶翼的野豬，
Harry saw two more towering, hooded Dementors, standing guard on either side.
哈利看到又有兩名身材高大、戴頭巾的攝魂怪站在大門兩旁守衛著（即上文的阿茲卡班的守衛。）。
