'If you said I could go —'
“如果您說我可以去——”
'But I don't say so,' said Professor McGonagall, standing up and piling her papers neatly into a drawer.
“但是我不會這樣說的。”麥格教授說。她站了起來，把她的紙張整齊地放到抽屜里。
'The form clearly states that the parent or guardian must give permission.'
“申請表明白地說必須得到家長或者是監護人的同意。”
She turned to look at him, with an odd expression on her face.
她回身看著他，臉上有一種古怪的表情。
Was it pity? 'I'm sorry, Potter, but that's my final word.
“我很抱歉，波特，但這是我的最后決定。
You had better hurry, or you'll be late for your next lesson.'
你還是趕快走吧，要不然你下一課要遲到了。”
There was nothing to be done.
沒法挽救了。
Ron called Professor McGonagall a lot of names that greatly annoyed Hermione;
羅恩罵了麥格教授許多難聽的話，弄得赫敏很惱火；
Hermione assumed an 'all for the best' expression that made Ron even angrier,
赫敏臉上露出“終于圓滿了結了”的表情，讓羅恩更加冒火。
and Harry had to endure everyone in the class talking loudly and happily about what they were going to do first, once they got into Hogsmeade.
班級里的同學紛紛高興地大聲談論他們一旦到了霍格莫德，首先就要做什么。對此，哈利只能默默忍受。
'There's always the feast,' said Ron, in an effort to cheer Harry up. 'You know, the Hallowe'en feast, in the evening.'
“總會有一場盛宴的，”羅恩說，想讓哈利高興起來，“你知道，萬圣節前夕的晚宴。”
'Yeah,' said Harry, gloomily, 'great.'
“是啊，”哈利陰郁地說，“很棒的。”
The Hallowe'en feast was always good, but it would taste a lot better if he was coming to it after a day in Hogsmeade with everyone else.
萬圣節盛宴總是很棒的，但是，如果哈利是和大家一起在霍格莫德待了一天之后，再參加這次盛宴，那這場盛宴的滋味無疑會好得多。
Nothing anyone said made him feel any better about being left behind.
不管誰說什么，都不能讓哈利心情好一點。
Dean Thomas, who was good with a quill, had offered to forge Uncle Vernon's signature on the form,
迪安托馬斯長于使用羽毛筆，他曾提出讓他在申請表上模仿弗農姨父的簽字，
but as Harry had already told Professor McGonagall he hadn't had it signed, that was no good.
但是哈利已經告訴麥格教授了，說他的那張表沒有簽字，這樣做就不會有什么好處。
Ron half-heartedly suggested the Invisibility Cloak, but Hermione stamped on that one, reminding Ron what Dumbledore had told them about the Dementors being able to see through them.
羅恩半心半意地建議他穿隱形衣，但是赫敏對這個主意迎頭痛擊，她提醒羅恩說，鄧布利多說過，攝魂怪是能夠看透隱形衣的。
