評(píng)論

'May I?' said Professor McGonagall, but she didn't wait for an answer before pulling the Firebolt out of their hands.
“給我看看行嗎？”麥格教授說(shuō)。但她不等回答就把火弩箭從他們手里拿了過(guò)去。
She examined it carefully from handle to twig-ends.
她從頭到尾仔細(xì)地檢查了一番。
'Hmm. And there was no note at all, Potter? No card? No message of any kind?'
“哼，根本沒(méi)有說(shuō)明，是不是，波特？沒(méi)有卡片？沒(méi)有任何信息？”
'No,' said Harry blankly.
“沒(méi)有。”哈利面無(wú)表情地說(shuō)道。
'I see...' said Professor McGonagall. 'Well, I'm afraid I will have to take this, Potter.'
“我明白了——”麥格教授說(shuō)，“唔，恐怕我不得不把它拿走，波特。”
'W-what?' said Harry, scrambling to his feet. 'Why?'
“什——什么？”哈利說(shuō)，慌慌張張地站了起來(lái)。“為什么？”
'It will need to be checked for jinxes,' said Professor McGonagall.
“必須檢查一下看有沒(méi)有不吉祥的東西。”麥格教授說(shuō)，
'Of course, I'm no expert, but I daresay Madam Hooch and Professor Flitwick will strip it down —'
“當(dāng)然，我不是專(zhuān)家，但是我敢說(shuō)霍琦夫人和弗立維教授會(huì)把它拆卸了……”
'Strip it down?' repeated Ron, as though Professor McGonagall was mad.
“拆卸？”羅恩重復(fù)了一遍。似乎認(rèn)為麥格教授瘋了。
'It shouldn't take more than a few weeks,' said Professor McGonagall. 'You will have it back if we are sure it is jinx-free.'
“這要不了幾個(gè)星期。”麥格教授說(shuō)，“如果我們能肯定它沒(méi)有附帶任何不吉祥的東西，就可以還給你。”
'There's nothing wrong with it!' said Harry, his voice shaking slightly. 'Honestly, Professor —
“它可沒(méi)有什么毛病！”哈利說(shuō)，聲音稍有些發(fā)抖。“說(shuō)實(shí)在的，麥格教授……”
'You can't know that, Potter,' said Professor McGonagall, quite kindly, 'not until you've flown it, at any rate,
“你不會(huì)知道的，波特，”麥格教授很仁慈地說(shuō)，“無(wú)論如何，要等你飛了以后才知道。
and I'm afraid that is out of the question until we are certain that it has not been tampered with. I shall keep you informed.'
我想，在我們肯定了解沒(méi)有人對(duì)它做過(guò)手腳以前，根本不可能讓你騎它去飛的。有什么情況我會(huì)隨時(shí)通知你的。”
Professor McGonagall turned on her heel and carried the Firebolt out of the portrait hole, which closed behind her.
麥格教授轉(zhuǎn)身帶著火弩箭走出了肖像畫(huà)的洞，洞在她身后閉上了。
Harry stood staring after her, the tin of High-Finish Polish still clutched in his hands.
哈利目送她離去，手里仍舊抓著那罐高精度上光劑。
Ron, however, rounded on Hermione. 'What did you go running to McGonagall for?'
然而，羅恩轉(zhuǎn)而對(duì)著赫敏說(shuō)話(huà)了——“你跑去找麥格教授干嗎？”
Hermione threw her book aside. She was still pink in the face, but stood up and faced Ron defiantly.
赫敏把書(shū)扔在一邊。她的臉仍然是粉紅色的，但她不管不顧地站起來(lái)面對(duì)著羅恩。
'Because I thought — and Professor McGonagall agrees with me — that that broom was probably sent to Harry by Sirius Black!'
“因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為——麥格教授也同意我的看法——這把掃帚沒(méi)準(zhǔn)是小天狼星布萊克送給哈利的！”
