Then he dreamed that Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherin team arrived for the match riding dragons.
然后他夢見馬爾福和斯萊特林的其余隊員騎著龍來參加比賽。
He was flying at breakneck speed, trying to avoid a spurt of flames from Malfoy's steed's mouth, when he realised he had forgotten his Firebolt.
他沒命地飛奔，想要避開馬爾福的坐騎嘴中噴出的火焰，這時他想到自己把火弩箭忘了。
He fell through the air and woke with a start.
他從空中跌了下來，驚醒了。
It was a few seconds before Harry remembered that the match hadn't taken place yet,
過了幾秒鐘，哈利才想起比賽還沒有舉行，
that he was safe in bed and that the Slytherin team definitely wouldn't be allowed to play on dragons.
自己安安穩穩地躺在床上。人們肯定不會讓斯萊特林隊騎著龍參加比賽。
He was feeling very thirsty.
他感到很渴。
As quietly as he could, he got out of his four-poster and went to pour himself some water from the silver jug beneath the window.
他盡量悄悄地下了床，從窗下的銀罐子里給自己倒了些水。
The grounds were still and quiet.
操場上寂然無人。
No breath of wind disturbed the treetops in the Forbidden Forest; the Whomping Willow was motionless and innocent-looking.
沒有一絲風吹動禁林的樹梢；打人柳一動不動，一副天真無辜的樣子。
It looked as though conditions for the match would be perfect.
看上去比賽的條件好像是盡善盡美的。
Harry set down his goblet and was about to turn back to his bed when something caught his eye.
哈利放下水杯，正要回到床上去，這時什么東西吸引了他的目光：
An animal of some kind was prowling across the silvery lawn.
有一個動物在銀色的草坪上徘徊。
Harry dashed to his bedside table, snatched up his glasses and put them on, then hurried back to the window.
哈利沖到床頭柜邊上，抓起眼鏡戴上，再奔回窗前。
It couldn't be the Grim — not now — not right before the match — He peered out at the grounds again and, after a minute's frantic searching, spotted it.
不可能是不祥……別在現在……別正好在比賽以前……他又向窗外操場上看去，狂亂地搜索了一分鐘以后，找到了。
It was skirting the edge of the Forest now ... it wasn't the Grim at all ... it was a cat ...
現在它正在禁林邊緣潛行……根本不是那不祥……是只貓……
Harry clutched the window-ledge in relief as he recognised the bottle-brush tail.
哈利抓住窗臺松了口氣，他認出了那瓶刷似的尾巴，
It was only Crookshanks ... Or was it only Crookshanks?
那只不過是克魯克山……難道只是克魯克山嗎？
