A short,irritable-looking man was dancing around taking photographs with a large black camera thatemittedpuffs of purple smoke with every blinding flash.
一個脾氣暴躁的矮個子男人舉著一個黑色的大照相機，在他前前后后跳來跳去地拍照。每次閃光燈炫目地一閃，相機里便噴出一股股紫色的煙霧。
“Out of the way, there,” hesnarledat Ron, moving back to get a better shot.
“閃開，”他對羅恩嚷道，一面后退著選取一個更好的角度，
“This is for the Daily Prophet —”
“這是給《預言家日報》拍的?！?/div>
“Big deal,” said Ron, rubbing his foot where the photographer had stepped on it.
“真了不起。”羅恩揉著被那人踩痛的腳背說。
Gilderoy Lockhart heard him. He looked up. He saw Ron—and then he saw Harry.
吉德羅洛哈特聽到了。他抬起頭來，看到了羅恩，接著又看到了哈利。
He stared. Then he leapt to his feet and positively shouted, “It can't be Harry Potter?”
他盯著哈利看了一會兒，跳起來喊道：“這不是哈利波特嗎？”
The crowd parted, whispering excitedly; Lockhart dived forward, seized Harry's arm, and pulled him to the front.
人群讓開一條路，興奮地低語著。洛哈特沖上前來，抓住哈利的胳膊，把他拉到前面，
The crowd burst into applause.
全場爆發出一陣掌聲。
Harry's face burned as Lockhart shook his hand for the photographer, who was clicking away madly, wafting thick smoke over the Weasleys.
哈利臉上發燒，洛哈特握著他的手讓攝影師拍照。矮個子男人瘋狂地連連按動快門，陣陣濃煙飄到韋斯萊一家身上。
“Nice big smile, Harry,” said Lockhart, through his own gleaming teeth.
“笑得真漂亮，哈利?！甭骞刈约阂舱故局豢诰Я恋难例X，
“Together, you and I are worth the front page.”
“咱們倆可以上第一版?！?/div>
When he finally let go of Harry's hand, Harry could hardly feel his fingers.
當他終于放開哈利的手時，哈利手指都麻木了。
He tried to sidle back over to the Weasleys, but Lockhart threw an arm around his shoulders and clamped him tightly to his side.
他想溜回韋斯萊一家那里，可洛哈特的一只胳膊還搭在他肩上，把他牢牢夾在身邊。
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said loudly, waving for quiet. “What an extraordinary moment this is!
“女士們先生們，”洛哈特大聲說，揮手讓大家安靜，“這是多么不同尋常的一刻！
The perfect moment for me to make a little announcement I've been sitting on for some time!
我要借這個絕妙的場合宣布一件小小的事情，這件事我壓了一段時間一直沒有說?！?/div>
“When young Harry here stepped into Flourish and Blotts today, he only wanted to buy my autobiography — which I shall be happy topresenthim now, free of charge —” The crowd applauded again.
“年輕的哈利今天走進麗痕書店時，只是想買我的自傳——我愿意當場把這本書免費贈送給他——”又是一片掌聲。
“He had no idea,” Lockhart continued, giving Harry a little shake that made his glasses slip to the end of his nose,
“——可他不知道，”洛哈特繼續說，并搖晃了哈利一下，弄得他眼鏡滑到了鼻尖上，
“that he would shortly be getting much, much more than my book, Magical Me.
“他不久將得到比拙作《會魔法的我》更有價值的東西，
He and his schoolmates will, in fact, be getting the real magical me.
實際上，他和他的同學們將得到一個真正的、會魔法的我。
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have great pleasure and pride in announcing that this September,
不錯，女士們先生們，我無比愉快和自豪地宣布，今年九月，
I will be taking up the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!”
我將成為霍格沃茨魔法學校的黑魔法防御術課教師！”
The crowd cheered and clapped and Harry found himself being presented with the entire works of Gilderoy Lockhart.
人群鼓掌歡呼，哈利發現自己拿到了吉德羅洛哈特的全套著作，沉得他走路都有點搖晃。
Staggering slightly under their weight, he managed to make his way out of the limelight to the edge of the room,where Ginny was standing next to her new cauldron.
他好不容易才走出公眾注意的中心，來到墻邊，金妮正站在她的新坩堝旁。
“You have these,” Harry mumbled to her, tipping the books into the cauldron.
“這些給你，”哈利把書倒進坩堝里，含糊地對她說，
“I'll buy my own —”
“我自己再買—”
