With many bitter sidelong looks and some sullen muttering, the class opened their books.
全班許多人痛苦地偷著交換眼色，有些人陰郁地嘰咕著，大家打開了書本。
'Which of you can tell me how we distinguish between the werewolf and the true wolf?' said Snape.
“你們誰能告訴我，如何區別狼人和真正的狼？”斯內普說。
Everyone sat in motionless silence; everyone except Hermione, whose hand, as it so often did, had shot straight into the air.
大家都默默地坐在那里，一動不動；除了赫敏以外，她的手像往常一樣筆直地舉在空中。
'Anyone?' Snape said, ignoring Hermione. His twisted smile was back.
“誰能回答？”斯內普說，不理赫敏。他又齜牙咧嘴地笑了。
'Are you telling me that Professor Lupin hasn't even taught you the basic distinction between —'
“你們難道是在告訴我，盧平教授沒有把這兩者之間的基本區別教給你們——”
'We told you,' said Parvati suddenly, 'we haven't got as far as werewolves yet, we're still on —'
“我們告訴你，”帕瓦蒂突然說，“我們還沒有學到狼人那一章呢，我們還在學——”
'Silence!' snarled Snape. 'Well, well, well, I never thought I'd meet a third-year class who wouldn't even recognise a werewolf when they saw one.
“安靜！”斯內普咆哮道，“好，好，好，我從來沒想到我居然會碰上三年級學生識別不出狼人。
I shall make a point of informing Professor Dumbledore how very behind you all are...'
我要記下來，告訴鄧布利多教授你們是多么落后——”
'Please, sir,' said Hermione, whose hand was still in the air, 'the werewolf differs from the true wolf in several small ways.
“先生，”赫敏說道，她的手仍然舉著，“狼人和真正的狼有好幾個地方不同。
The snout of the werewolf —'
狼人的口鼻部——”
'That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger,' said Snape coolly.
“這是你第二次搶先發言了，格蘭杰，”斯內普冷淡地說，
'Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all.'
“為了一個叫人沒法忍受的萬事通，再扣格蘭芬多五分。”
Hermione went very red, put down her hand and stared at the floor with her eyes full of tears.
赫敏臉漲得通紅，放下了手，瞪眼看著地，眼睛里充滿了淚水。
