Chapter Eleven Quidditch
第十一章 魁地奇比賽
As they entered November, the weather turned very cold.
進入十一月后，天氣變得非常寒冷。
The mountains around the school became icy gray and the lake like chilled steel.
學校周圍的大山上灰蒙蒙的，覆蓋著冰雪，湖面像淬火鋼一樣又冷又硬。
Every morning the ground was covered in frost.
每天早晨，地面都有霜凍。
Hagrid could be seen from the upstairs windows defrosting broomsticks on the Quidditch field,
從樓上的窗口可以看見海格在魁地奇球場上給飛天掃帚除霜。
bundled up in a long moleskin overcoat, rabbit fur gloves, and enormous beaverskin boots.
他全身裹在長長的鼴鼠皮大衣里，戴著兔毛皮手套，穿著巨大的海貍毛皮靴子。
The Quidditch season had begun.
魁地奇賽季開始了。
On Saturday, Harry would be playing in his first match after weeks of training: Gryffindor versus Slytherin.
哈利經過幾個星期的訓練，星期六就要參加他有生以來的第一次比賽了，是格蘭芬多隊對斯萊特林隊。
If Gryffindor won, they would move up into second place in the house championship.
如果格蘭芬多隊贏了，他們在學院杯賽的名次就會升到第二名。
Hardly anyone had seen Harry play because Wood had decided that, as their secret weapon, Harry should be kept, well, secret.
幾乎沒有人看見過哈利打魁地奇，因為伍德決定對哈利參賽的事嚴加保密，要把他作為他們隊的一個秘密武器。
But the news that he was playing Seeker had leaked out somehow, and Harry didn't know which was worse,
但是哈利要擔當找球手的消息還是泄漏了出去。哈利不知道哪種說法更糟糕。
people telling him he'd be brilliant or people telling him they'd be running around underneath him holding a mattress.
有人對他說他會打得很棒，也有人對他說他們到時候要舉著床墊。在下面跟著他跑，防止他摔下來。
