I wonder who'll be teaching us? said Hermione as they edged into the chattering crowd.
不知道由誰來教我們，他們側著身子擠進嘰嘰喳喳的人群，赫敏說道，
Someone told me Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was young—maybe it'll be him.
有人告訴我，弗立維年輕的時候曾是決斗冠軍，也許就是他來教我們吧。
As long as it's not—Harry began, but he ended on a groan:
只要不是—哈利的話沒說完，轉成了一句呻吟，
Gilderoy Lockhart was walking onto the stage, resplendent in robes of deep plum and accompanied by none other than Snape, wearing his usual black.
只見吉德羅洛哈特走上舞臺，穿著紫紅色的長袍，光彩照人，他身邊的人不是別人，正是斯內普，還穿著他平常那身黑衣服。
Lockhart waved an arm for silence and called, Gather round, gather round! Can everyone see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent!
洛哈特揮手叫大家安靜，然后大聲喊道：圍過來，圍過來！每個人都能看見我嗎？都能聽見我說話嗎？太好了！
Now, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little dueling club,
是這樣的，鄧布利多教授允許我開辦這家小小的決斗俱樂部，
to train you all in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions—for full details, see my published works.
充分訓練大家，以防你們有一天需要自衛，采取我曾無數次使用的方式保護自己—欲知這方面的詳情，請看我出版的作品。
Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape, said Lockhart, flashing a wide smile.
我來介紹一下我的助手斯內普教授，洛哈特說著，咧開大嘴笑了一下，
He tells me he knows a tiny little bit about dueling himself and has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration before we begin.
他對我說，他本人對決斗也略知一二，他還慷慨大度地答應，在上課前協助我做一個小小的示范。
Now, I don't want any of you youngsters to worry—you'll still have your Potions master when I'm through with him, never fear!
我說，我可不愿意讓你們這些小家伙擔心—等我跟他示范完了，我還會把你們的魔藥老師完好無損地還給你們，不用害怕！
Wouldn't it be good if they finished each other off? Ron muttered in Harry's ear.
如果他們拼個兩敗俱傷，豈不是太好了？羅恩在哈利耳邊小聲嘀咕。
Snape's upper lip was curling. Harry wondered why Lockhart was still smiling;
斯內普的上嘴唇卷了起來。哈利不明白洛哈特為什么還笑瞇瞇的；
if Snape had been looking at him like that he'd have been running as fast as he could in the opposite direction.
如果斯內普用那樣的眼神看著他，他早就撒開雙腿，拼命朝相反方向跑去了。
