The room went very still. The Slytherins' smiles faded a little.
禮堂里變得非常安靜，斯萊特林們的笑容也收斂了一些。
Ahem, said Dumbledore.
“呃，呃，”鄧布利多清了清嗓子，
"I have a few last-minute points to dish out.
“我還有最后一些分數要分配。讓我看看。對了……
Let me see. Yes...First — to Mr. Ronald Weasley...
讓我看看。對了……第一項——羅恩韋斯萊先生……”
Ron went purple in the face;
羅恩的臉一下子漲得通紅，
he looked like a radish with a bad sunburn.
那樣子活像一個被太陽曬于的紅蘿卜。
...for the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years,
“……他下贏了許多年來霍格沃茨最精彩的一盤棋，
I award Gryffindor house fifty points.
我為此獎勵格蘭芬多學院五十分。”
Gryffindor cheers nearly raised the bewitched ceiling;
格蘭芬多們的歡呼聲差點把施了魔法的天花板掀翻了。
the stars overhead seemed to quiver.
他們頭頂上的星星似乎也被震得微微顫抖。
Percy could be heard telling the other prefects,
可以聽見珀西在大聲告訴其他級長：
"My brother, you know! My youngest brother!
“是我弟弟，你們知道的！我最小的弟弟！
Got past McGonagall's giant chess set!"
順利通過了麥格教授的巨型棋盤陣！”
At last there was silence again.
大家好不容易才又平靜下來。
Second — to Miss Hermione Granger...
“第二項——赫敏格蘭杰小姐……
for the use of cool logic in the face of fire,
她面對烈火，冷靜地進行邏輯推理，
I award Gryffindor house fifty points.
我要獎勵格蘭芬多學院五十分。”
Hermione buried her face in her arms;
赫敏把臉埋在臂彎里；
Harry strongly suspected she had burst into tears.
哈利懷疑她肯定是偷偷地哭了。
Gryffindors up and down the table were beside themselves
他們周圍格蘭芬多的同學們都欣喜若狂，在餐桌旁跳上跳下
they were a hundred points up.
他們整整上升了一百分！
"Third — to Mr. Harry Potter..." said Dumbledore.
“第三項——哈利波特……”鄧布利多說。
The room went deadly quiet for pure nerve and outstanding courage,
禮堂里頓時變得格外寂靜。 “……他表現出了大無畏的膽量和過人的勇氣，
I award Gryffindor house sixty points."
為此，我還要獎勵格蘭芬多學院六十分。”
The din was deafening.
喧鬧聲簡直震耳欲聾。
Those who could add up while yelling themselves hoarse knew that Gryffindor now had four hundred and seventy-two points
那些一邊把嗓子喊得嘶啞，一邊還能在心里計算分數的同學們知道，格蘭芬多現在是四百七十二分
exactly the same as Slytherin.
和斯萊特林的分數完全一樣。
They had tied for the house cup
他們已經直逼學院杯冠軍
if only Dumbledore had given Harry just one more point.
如果鄧布利多多獎給哈利一分就好了。
