Chapter Fourteen Snape's Grudge
第十四章 斯內普的妒忌
No one in Gryffindor Tower slept that night.
那天夜里，格蘭芬多樓里的人都沒有睡覺。
They knew that the castle was being searched again,
他們知道城堡再次被搜查了，
and the whole house stayed awake in the common room, waiting to hear whether Black had been caught.
整個格蘭芬多院的人都在公共休息室里待著，等著聽究竟有沒有抓到布萊克。
Professor McGonagall came back at dawn, to tell them that he had again escaped.
黎明時分，麥格教授回來了，告訴大家布萊克再次逃脫了。
Everywhere they went next day they saw signs of tighter security;
第二天，他們不論到哪里，都看到安全措施加強了；
Professor Flitwick could be seen teaching the front doors to recognise a large picture of Sirius Black;
弗立維教授拿著布萊克的大照片在教每一個看守前門的人識別；
Filch was suddenly bustling up and down the corridors, boarding up everything from tiny cracks in the walls to mouse holes.
費爾奇突然在走廊上來回奔忙，從墻壁上的小裂縫到耗子洞都被他用木板釘死了。
Sir Cadogan had been sacked.
卡多根爵士遭到了解雇。
His portrait had been taken back to its lonely landing on the seventh floor, and the Fat Lady was back.
他的肖像被放回八樓寂寞的樓梯平臺那里去了，胖夫人回來了。
She had been expertly restored, but was still extremely nervous,
對胖夫人進行了專業性修復，但她仍然極其緊張，
and had only agreed to return to her job on condition that she was given extra protection.
她回來工作是有條件的：必須對她格外保護。
A bunch of surly security trolls had been hired to guard her.
雇傭了一批粗暴無禮的侏儒來保護她。
They paced the corridor in a menacing group, talking in grunts and comparing the size of their clubs.
他們踏著威脅性的步伐在走廊里走動，說話嘟嘟囔囔的，相互比較著手中棍子的大小。
Harry couldn't help noticing that the statue of the one-eyed witch on the third floor remained unguarded and unblocked.
哈利無意中注意到四樓上獨眼女巫的雕像仍舊無人守衛，也沒有加以封閉。
It seemed that Fred and George had been right in thinking that they — and now Harry, Ron and Hermione — were the only ones who knew about the hidden passageway within it.
弗雷德和喬治——現在是哈利、羅恩和赫敏——認為他們是惟一知道雕像里面有秘密通道的人，看來這是對的。
