Peeves had finally got bored of his "Oh, Potter, you rotter" song, Ernie Macmillan asked Harry quite politely to pass a bucket of leaping toadstools in Herbology one day, and in March several of the Mandrakes threw a loud and raucous party in greenhouse three. This made Professor Sprout very happy.
皮皮鬼終于唱膩了他那首“哦，波特，你這個討厭鬼”。一天在上草藥課時，厄尼禮貌地請哈利把一小桶跳動的傘菌遞給他。三月里，幾株曼德拉草在第三溫室開了一個熱熱鬧鬧、吵吵嚷嚷的舞會，這使斯普勞特教授非常高興。
The moment they start trying to move into each other's pots, we'll know they're fully mature, she told Harry. "Then we'll be able to revive those poor people in the hospital wing."
“等它們想移到別人的花盆里時，我們就知道它們完全成熟了?！彼龑f，“然后我們就能使醫(yī)院病房里那些可憐的人都活過來?！?/div>
The second years were given something new to think about during their Easter holidays. The time had come to choose their subjects for the third year, a matter that Hermione, at least, took very seriously.
在復活節(jié)假日期間，二年級學生又有了新的事情要考慮。他們應該選擇三年級的課程了，這件事，至少在赫敏看來，是需要慎重對待的。
It could affect our whole future, she told Harry and Ron as they pored over lists of new subjects, marking them with checks.
“這會影響到我們的整個未來?！彼龑土_恩說。這時他們都在仔細研究新課程名單，在上面做著記號。
I just want to give up Potions, said Harry.
“我只想放棄魔藥課?！惫f。
We can't, said Ron gloomily. "We keep all our old subjects, or I'd've ditched Defense Against the Dark Arts."
“不可能，”羅恩情緒低落地說，“原來的科目都得上，不然我早就扔掉黑魔法防御術課了?！?/div>
But that's very important! said Hermione, shocked.
“但那門課是很重要的！”赫敏吃驚地說。
Not the way Lockhart teaches it, said Ron. "I haven't learned anything from him except not to set pixies loose."
“像洛哈特那種教法，我看未必。”羅恩說，“除了不要把小精靈放出來，我沒有從他那里學到任何東西。”
Neville Longbottom had been sent letters from all the witches and wizards in his family, all giving him different advice on what to choose. Confused and worried, he sat reading the subject lists with his tongue poking out, asking people whether they thought Arithmancy sounded more difficult than the study of Ancient Runes.
納威·隆巴頓家里的那些男巫、女巫們紛紛給他來信，在選課的問題上對他提出許多不同的建議。納威無所適從，心里很緊張。他坐在那里看課程名單，舌頭伸在外面，問別人是不是覺得算術占卜聽上去比古代魔文更加難學。
