Parvati came back down the ladder glowing with pride.
帕瓦蒂走下樓梯，滿臉得意。
'She says I've got all the makings of a true Seer,' she informed Harry and Ron.
“她說我具備成為真正預見者的全部素質，”她告訴哈利和羅恩，
'I saw loads of stuff ... well, good luck!'
“我看見了許多東西……好吧，祝你們好運！”
She hurried off down the spiral staircase towards Lavender.
她忙忙地走下螺旋形樓梯找拉文德去了。
'Ronald Weasley,' said the familiar, misty voice from over their heads.
“羅恩·韋斯萊。”他們頭頂上那熟悉的模糊聲音說。
Ron grimaced at Harry, and climbed the silver ladder out of sight.
羅恩對哈利做了個鬼臉，爬上銀色樓梯不見了。
Harry was now the only person left to be tested.
現(xiàn)在哈利是惟一在等待考試的人了。
He settled himself on the floor with his back against the wall,
他坐在地板上，背靠著墻，
listening to a fly buzzing in the sunny window, his mind across the grounds with Hagrid.
聽著一只蒼蠅在有陽光的玻璃窗上嗡嗡著，心思已經(jīng)飛越場地到海格那里去了。
Finally, after about twenty minutes, Ron's large feet reappeared on the ladder.
最后，大約二十分鐘以后，羅恩的大腳又在樓梯上出現(xiàn)了。
'How'd it go?' Harry asked him, standing up.
“考得怎么樣？”哈利問他，自己則站了起來。
'Rubbish,' said Ron. 'Couldn't see a thing, so I made some stuff up. Don't think she was convinced, though ...'
“亂七八糟，”羅恩說，“什么也看不見，所以我就編造起來。我想她沒相信，不過……”
'Meet you in the common room,' Harry muttered, as Professor Trelawney's voice called, 'Harry Potter!'
“在公共休息室碰頭。”哈利低聲道，這時特里勞妮教授的聲音叫道：“哈利波特！”
The tower room was hotter than ever before; the curtains were closed, the fire was alight,
這間塔樓房間比以前任何時候都要熱。窗簾拉攏著，壁爐里燒著火，
and the usual sickly scent made Harry cough as he stumbled through the clutter of chairs and tables
通常的那種令人惡心的氣味弄得哈利咳嗽起來，這時他正從若干桌椅之間尋路走向特里勞妮教授。
to where Professor Trelawney sat waiting for him before a large crystal ball.
她坐在那里等他，面前放著一個碩大的水晶球。
'Good day, my dear,' she said softly. 'If you would kindly gaze into the Orb ... take your time, now ... then tell me what you see within it ...'
“你好，親愛的，”她溫柔地說，“你看看這水晶球……現(xiàn)在給你計時……然后告訴我在里面看到了什么……”
Harry bent over the crystal ball and stared, stared as hard as he could, willing it to show him something other than swirling white fog, but nothing happened.
哈利俯身向這水晶球看去，盡量努力看，但愿它能讓他看到除了旋轉的白霧之外還有些什么，但什么也看不見。
