魔法课

  在本学期第一节魔法课上，同学们发现新来的老师竟然没有安排任何有关咒语使用的内容，这让哈利再次提起现在危险的处境以及伏地魔。

Hermione:There's nothing in the about using defensive spells? （这儿没有教我们如何使用防御性咒语。）

Professor:Using spells?Well, I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.（使用咒语?我看不出在我的班上有什么必要使用咒语。）

Ron:We're not gonna use magic?（我们不用魔法?）

Professor:You'll be learning about defensive spells in a secure, risk -free way. （你们会学习防御性魔法，会以一种非常安全、毫无风险的方式。）

Harry: What use is that? If we 're attacked, it won 't be risk -free. （那有什么用呢?遇到攻击一定会有危险。）

Professor:Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. It 's the view of the Ministry. ..that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient. ..to get you through your examinations. ..which, after all, is what school is all about. （在我可上想要发言的同学请先举手，魔法部认为...学习理论上的知识...就足以通过普通巫师考试等级测验，毕竟这才是教学的目的。）

Harry: And how 's theory supposed to prepare us for what 's out there? （光凭理论怎能应付外面的危险）

Professor:Thereis nothing out there, dear. Who do you imagine wants to attack children like yourself? （外面并没有危险啊，谁会攻击像你这样的小孩呢？）

hHarry: Oh, I don't know. Maybe Lord Voldemort. （哦！不知道，也许是伏地魔吧。）

Professor:Now, let me make this quite plain. You have been told that a certain dark wizard is at large once again. This is a lie. （有一件事情我要说清楚，有人告诉你们有一个黑巫师又一次逍遥法外了，这是个谎言。）

Harry: It's not a lie. I saw him. I fought him. （这不是谎言，我看见他了，他还跟我打斗过。）

Professor:Detention, Mr. potter. （罚你留堂，波特先生。）

Harry: Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord? （照你的意思，迪戈里是突然暴毙的了?）

Professor:Cedric Diggory 's death was a tragic accident. （塞德里克·迪戈里的死是一场意外悲剧。）

Harry: It was murder. Voldemort killed him. you must know that. （是谋杀，伏地魔杀死了他，你是知道的。）

Professor:Enough! Enough. See me later, Mr. Potter .In my officee. （够了!待会儿见，波特先生，去我的办公室。）
