'I wonder, dear,' she said to Lavender Brown, who was nearest and shrank back in her chair, 'if you could pass me the largest silver teapot?'
“我想，親愛(ài)的，”她對(duì)拉文德布朗說(shuō)道。她坐得最近，嚇得縮在椅子里，“你能不能把那個(gè)最大的茶壺遞給我？”
Lavender, looking relieved, stood up, took an enormous teapot from the shelf and put it down on the table in front of Professor Trelawney.
拉文德看上去松了一口氣，站起來(lái)，從架子上拿了一把巨大的茶壺放在特里勞妮教授面前的桌子上。
'Thank you, my dear. Incidentally, that thing you are dreading — it will happen on Friday the sixteenth of October.'
“謝謝你，親愛(ài)的。順便說(shuō)一下，你害怕的那件事情——會(huì)在十月十六日星期五發(fā)生。”
Lavender trembled. 'Now, I want you all to divide into pairs.
拉文德抖起來(lái)了。“現(xiàn)在，我要你們大家分成兩組。
Collect a teacup from the shelf, come to me and I will fill it.
從架子上拿一個(gè)茶杯，到我這里來(lái)，我會(huì)往杯子里倒茶。
Then sit down and drink; drink until only the dregs remain.
然后坐下來(lái)，喝茶，喝到杯子里只剩下茶葉。
Swill these around the cup three times with the left hand, then turn the cup upside-down on its saucer;
用左手將茶葉渣晃蕩三次，然后將茶杯翻轉(zhuǎn)，扣在茶杯托上；
wait for the last of the tea to drain away, then give your cup to your partner to read.
等到最后一點(diǎn)茶水流光，然后把你的茶杯給你的伙伴解讀。
You will interpret the patterns using pages five and six of Unfogging the Future.
你們可以利用《撥開(kāi)迷霧看未來(lái)》這本書(shū)的第五頁(yè)和第六頁(yè)的內(nèi)容解讀茶葉渣的形狀。
I shall move among you, helping and instructing.
我將在你們中間行走，幫助你們，指示你們。
Oh, and dear —' she caught Neville by the arm as he made to stand up,
哦，還有親愛(ài)的——”她抓住納威的手臂，把他拉了起來(lái)，
'after you've broken your first cup, would you be so kind as to select one of the blue patterned ones?
“在你打碎第一個(gè)茶杯以后，你能不能從藍(lán)色花樣的茶杯中挑選一個(gè)呢？
I'm rather attached to the pink.'
我很喜歡那種粉紅的。”
Sure enough, Neville had no sooner reached the shelf of teacups than there was a tinkle of breaking china.
沒(méi)錯(cuò)，納威剛走到放茶杯的架子面前，就傳來(lái)瓷器破裂的聲音。
