“你們大家肯定都知道，霍格沃茨學(xué)校是一千多年前創(chuàng)辦的，具體日期不太確定——創(chuàng)辦者是當(dāng)時最偉大的四個男女巫師。
The four school Houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin.
四個學(xué)院就是以他們的名字命名的：戈德里克格蘭芬多，赫爾加赫奇帕奇，羅伊納拉文克勞和薩拉查斯萊特林。
They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution.”
他們共同建造了這座城堡，遠(yuǎn)離麻瓜們窺視的目光，因為在當(dāng)時那個年代，老百姓們害怕魔法，男女巫師遭到很多迫害。”

“開頭幾年，幾個創(chuàng)辦者一起和諧地工作，四處尋找顯露出魔法苗頭的年輕人，把他們帶到城堡里好好培養(yǎng)。
But then disagreements sprang up between them.
可是，慢慢地他們之間就有了分歧。
A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others.
斯萊特林和其他人之間的裂痕越來越大。
Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts.
斯萊特林希望霍格沃茨招收學(xué)生時更挑剔一些。
