'Sit, my children, sit,' she said, and they all climbed awkwardly into armchairs or sank onto pouffes.
“坐，我的孩子，坐。”她說(shuō)，于是他們都笨拙地爬到扶手椅上或者陷到鼓鼓囊囊的坐墊里去了。
Harry, Ron and Hermione sat themselves around the same round table.
哈利、羅恩和赫敏坐在同一張圓桌旁邊。
'Welcome to Divination,' said Professor Trelawney, who had seated herself in a winged armchair in front of the fire.
“歡迎來(lái)上占卜課，”特里勞妮教授說(shuō)，自己坐在壁爐前面一張有翼的扶手椅上，
'My name is Professor Trelawney. You may not have seen me before.
“我是特里勞妮教授，你們以前可能沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)我。
I find that descending too often into the hustle and bustle of the main school clouds my Inner Eye.'
我發(fā)現(xiàn)過(guò)于頻繁地下臨熙攘忙碌的學(xué)校生活使我的天目模糊。”
Nobody said anything in answer to this extraordinary pronouncement.
對(duì)于這樣不尋常的宣言，誰(shuí)也沒(méi)有說(shuō)什么話。
Professor Trelawney delicately rearranged her shawl and continued,
特里勞妮教授細(xì)致地重新整理了一下披巾，繼續(xù)說(shuō)：
'So you have chosen to study Divination, the most difficult of all magical arts.
“你們選了占卜課，這是所有魔法藝術(shù)中最難的課程。
I must warn you at the outset that if you do not have the Sight, there is very little I will be able to teach you.
我必須一開(kāi)始就警告你們：如果你們不具備‘視域’，那我能教你們的東西就很少了，
Books can take you only so far in this field ...'
在這方面，書(shū)本只能帶你們走這么遠(yuǎn)……”
At these words, both Harry and Ron glanced, grinning, at Hermione,
聽(tīng)完這番話，哈利和羅恩都笑著看赫敏，
who looked startled at the news that books wouldn't be much help in this subject.
赫敏聽(tīng)到這門(mén)課的書(shū)本沒(méi)有多大用處，顯得很吃驚。
'Many witches and wizards, talented though they are in the area of loud bangs and smells and sudden disappearings,
“許多女巫和男巫，盡管他們?cè)诎l(fā)出猛烈的撞擊聲、氣味和突然隱形等方面很有天才，
are yet unable to penetrate the veiled mysteries of the future,'
卻不能撥開(kāi)迷霧看透未來(lái)。”
Professor Trelawney went on, her enormous, gleaming eyes moving from face to nervous face.
特里勞妮教授繼續(xù)說(shuō)下去，她那巨大發(fā)光的眼睛從這張臉轉(zhuǎn)到那張臉上。
