'As to our second new appointment,' Dumbledore continued, as the lukewarm applause for Professor Lupin died away,
“至于我們任命的第二位教師，”給盧平教授的不太熱情的掌聲消失后，鄧布利多繼續說，
'well, I am sorry to tell you that Professor Kettleburn,
“唔，我遺憾地告訴你們，
our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired at the end of last year in order to enjoy more time with his remaining limbs.
我們的保護神奇生物課的教師凱特爾伯恩教授去年年底退休了，以便有更多時間和他剩下的小淘氣在一起。
However, I am delighted to say that his place will be filled by none other than Rubeus Hagrid,
然而，我高興地說，不是別人，而是魯伯海格來填補他的空缺，
who has agreed to take on this teaching job in addition to his gamekeeping duties.'
海格已經同意在擔任狩獵場看守之外，兼任教師之職。”
Harry, Ron and Hermione stared at each other, stunned.
哈利、羅恩和赫敏彼此大眼看小眼，呆住了，
Then they joined in with the applause, which was tumultuous at the Gryffindor table in particular.
然后他們加入了鼓掌，格蘭芬多桌子上的掌聲格外熱烈。
Harry leant forward to see Hagrid, who was ruby red in the face and staring down at his enormous hands,
哈利俯身向前去看海格，只見他滿臉通紅，瞪眼看著他那雙大手，
his wide grin hidden in the tangle of his black beard.
他的微笑隱藏在他亂糟糟的黑胡子里。
'We should've known!' Ron roared, pounding the table.
“我們早就應該知道的！”羅恩吼道，捶著桌子，
'Who else would have set us a biting book?'
“別人誰會讓我們去弄一本會咬人的書？”
Harry, Ron and Hermione were the last to stop clapping, and as Professor Dumbledore started speaking again,
哈利、羅恩和赫敏是最后停止拍手的。當鄧布利多教授又開始說話的時候，
they saw that Hagrid was wiping his eyes on the tablecloth.
他們看到海格在用桌布擦眼睛。
'Well, I think that's everything of importance,' said Dumbledore. 'Let the feast begin!'
“好吧，我想重要的事已經說完了，”鄧布利多說，“開始用餐吧。”
