評(píng)論

In the second week of December Professor McGonagall came around as usual, collecting names of those who would be staying at school for Christmas.
十二月的第二個(gè)星期，麥格教授像往常一樣過來收集留校過圣誕節(jié)的同學(xué)名單。
Harry, Ron, and Hermione signed her list;
哈利、羅恩和赫敏在名單上簽了字；
they had heard that Malfoy was staying, which struck them as very suspicious.
他們聽說馬爾福準(zhǔn)備留下，覺得很值得懷疑。
The holidays would be the perfect time to use the Polyjuice Potion and try to worm a confession out of him.
過節(jié)期間正好可以使用復(fù)方湯劑，把馬爾福的真話套出來。
Unfortunately, the potion was only half finished.
不幸的是，湯劑還沒有完全熬好。
They still needed the bicorn horn and the boomslang skin, and the only place they were going to get them was from Snape's private stores.
他們還需要雙角獸的角和非洲樹蛇的皮，而這些東西只有在斯內(nèi)普的私人儲(chǔ)藏室里才能弄到。
Harry privately felt he'd rather face Slytherins legendary monster than let Snape catch him robbing his office.
哈利暗地里覺得，他寧愿面對(duì)斯萊特林的神奇的怪物，也不愿在斯內(nèi)普辦公室里偷東西時(shí)被斯內(nèi)普抓住。
What we need, said Hermione briskly as Thursday afternoon's double Potions lesson loomed nearer, is a diversion.
我們需要聲東擊西，赫敏干脆地說，這時(shí)離星期四下午的兩節(jié)魔藥課越來越近了，有人打掩護(hù)，
Then one of us can sneak into Snape's office and take what we need.
然后某個(gè)人就可以溜進(jìn)斯內(nèi)普的辦公室，拿到我們想要的東西。
Harry and Ron looked at her nervously.
哈利和羅恩緊張地看著她。
I think I'd better do the actual stealing, Hermione continued in a matter-of-fact tone.
我認(rèn)為最好由我著手去偷，赫敏用公事公辦的口吻接著說，
You two will be expelled if you get into any more trouble, and I've got a clean record.
你們倆如果再惹麻煩，就要被開除了，而我沒有前科記錄。
So all you need to do is cause enough mayhem to keep Snape busy for five minutes or so.
所以，你們只要把課堂攪得一陣大亂，讓斯內(nèi)普有五分鐘時(shí)間忙得脫不開身。
Harry smiled feebly.
哈利勉強(qiáng)地笑了一下，
Deliberately causing mayhem in Snape's Potions class was about as safe as poking a sleeping dragon in the eye.
在斯內(nèi)普的魔藥課上故意搗亂生事，就像去捅一只熟睡的巨龍的眼睛，真是太危險(xiǎn)了。
