16 The Goblet of Fire

CHAPTER SIXTEEN The Goblet of Fire 'I don't believe it!' Ron said, in a stunned voice, as the Hogwarts students filed back up the steps behind the party from Durmstrang. 'Krum, Harry! Viktor Krum!' 'For heaven's sake, Ron, he's only a Quidditch player,' said Hermione. 'Only a Quidditch player?' Ron said, looking at her as though he couldn't believe his ears. 'Hermione– he's one of the best Seekers in the world! I had no idea he was still at school!' As they recrossed the Entrance Hall with the rest of the Hogwarts students, heading for the Great Hall, Harry saw Lee Jordan jumping up and down on the soles of his feet to get a better look at

第十六章火焰杯“我不相信！”罗恩用惊愕的声音说，这时霍格沃茨的学生们跟在德姆斯特朗的队伍后面，排成纵队走上台阶。 “克鲁姆,哈利!维克托•克鲁姆!“看在老天的份上，罗恩，他只是个魁地奇球员。”赫敏说。 “只是一个魁地奇球员？”罗恩说，看着她，好像不敢相信自己的耳朵。 “赫敏——他是世界上最好的找球手之一！”我不知道他还在上学！”当他们和霍格沃茨的其他学生一起穿过门厅，朝礼堂走去时，哈利看见李·乔丹踮着脚底跳上跳下，想看得更清楚些

the back of Krum's head. Several sixth-year girls were frantically searching their pockets as they walked– 'Oh, I don't believe it, I haven't got a single quill on me–' 'D'you think he'd sign my hat in lipstick?' 'Really,' Hermione said loftily, as they passed the girls, now squabbling over the lipstick. 'I'm getting his autograph if I can,' said Ron, 'you haven't got a quill, have you, Harry?' 'Nope, they're upstairs in my bag,' said Harry. They walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down. Ron took care to sit on the side facing the doorway, because Krum and his fellow Durmstrang students were still gathered around it, apparently unsure about where they should sit. The students from Beauxbatons had chosen seats at the Ravenclaw table. They were looking around the Great Hall with glum expressions on their faces. Three of them were still clutching scarves and shawls around their heads. 'It's not that cold,' said Hermione irritably, who was watching them. 'Why didn't they bring cloaks?'

克鲁姆的后脑勺。几个六年级的女生一边走一边疯狂地搜着自己的口袋——“哦，我真不敢相信，我身上一根羽毛笔都没有——”“你认为他会在我的帽子上用口红签名吗？”“真的吗？”赫敏高傲地说，这时他们从正在为口红争吵的女孩们身边走过。 “如果可能的话，我要得到他的签名，”罗恩说，“你没有羽毛笔吧，哈利？“没有，它们在楼上我的书包里。”哈利说。 他们走到格兰芬多的桌子旁坐下。 罗恩小心翼翼地坐在对着门口的那一边，因为克鲁姆和他的德姆斯特朗同学还聚集在门口，显然不知道应该坐在哪里。 布斯巴顿的学生已经在拉文克劳桌子旁选好了座位。 他们愁眉苦脸地环顾着礼堂。 其中三个人的头上还裹着围巾和披肩。 “没那么冷。”赫敏不耐烦地说，她正看着他们。 “他们为什么不带斗篷来？”

'Over here! Come and sit over here!' Ron hissed. 'Over here! Hermione, budge up, make a space–' 'What?' 'Too late,' said Ron bitterly. Viktor Krum and his fellow Durmstrang students had settled themselves at the Slytherin table. Harry could see Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle looking very smug about this. As he watched, Malfoy bent forwards to speak to Krum. 'Yeah, that's right, smarm up to him, Malfoy,' said Ron scathingly. 'I bet Krum can see right through him, though… bet he gets people fawning over him all the time… where d'you reckon they're going to sleep? We could offer him a space in our dormitory, Harry… I wouldn't mind giving him my bed, I could kip on a camp- bed.' Hermione snorted. 'They look a lot happier than the Beauxbatons lot,' said Harry.

“在这里!”过来坐在这儿吧！”罗恩发出嘘嘘的声音。 “在这里!”赫敏，挪过去一点，腾个地方——”“什么？“太晚了。”罗恩痛苦地说。 威克多尔·克鲁姆和他的德姆斯特朗同学在斯莱特林的桌子旁坐了下来。 哈利可以看到马尔福、克拉布和高尔为此洋洋得意。 在他注视着的时候，马尔福弯下腰和克鲁姆说话。 “是啊，对了，马尔夫，向他拍马屁。”罗恩尖刻地说。 “不过，我敢打赌克鲁姆一眼就能看穿他……我敢打赌，总是有人对他阿谀奉承……你猜他们会睡在哪里？” “我们可以在我们的宿舍里给他提供一个位置，哈利……我不介意把我的床给他，我可以睡在行军床上。”赫敏哼了一声。 “他们看起来比布斯巴顿那帮人开心多了。”哈利说。

The Durmstrang students were pulling off their heavy furs and looking up at the starry black ceiling with expressions of interest; a couple of them were picking up the golden plates and goblets and examining them, apparently impressed. Up at the staff table, Filch, the caretaker, was adding chairs. He was wearing his mouldy old tail coat in honour of the occasion. Harry was surprised to see that he added four chairs, two on either side of Dumbledore's. 'But there are only two extra people,' Harry said. 'Why's Filch putting out four chairs? Who else is coming?' 'Eh?' said Ron vaguely. He was still staring avidly at Krum. When all the students had entered the Hall and settled down at their house tables, the staff entered, filing up to the top table and taking their seats. Last in line were Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff and Madame Maxime. When their Headmistress appeared, the pupils from Beauxbatons leapt to their feet. A few of the

德姆斯特朗的学生们正在脱下厚重的皮衣，抬起头来，饶有兴趣地看着布满星星的黑色天花板。有几个人拿起金色的盘子和高脚杯，仔细检查着，显然被打动了。 在教工桌子那边，看门人费尔奇正在加椅子。 他穿着他那件发霉的旧燕尾服来纪念这个场合。 哈利惊奇地发现他又加了四把椅子，在邓布利多的椅子两边各有两把。 “但是只多了两个人。”哈利说。 “费尔奇为什么要拿出四把椅子？” 还有谁要来？“嗯?罗恩含糊地问。 他仍然贪婪地盯着克鲁姆。 当所有的学生都进了礼堂，在各自的桌子旁坐下来后，教工们也进来了，鱼贯地走到顶桌坐下。 排在最后的是邓布利多教授、卡卡洛夫教授和马克西姆夫人。 校长一出现，布斯巴顿的学生们都跳了起来。 其中的一些

Hogwarts students laughed. The Beauxbatons party appeared quite unembarrassed, and did not resume their seats until Madame Maxime had sat down on Dumbledore's left-hand side. Dumbledore, however, remained standing, and a silence fell over the Great Hall. 'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts and– most particularly– guests,' said Dumbledore, beaming around at the foreign students. 'I have great pleasure in welcoming you all to Hogwarts. I hope and trust that your stay here will be both comfortable and enjoyable.' One of the Beauxbatons girls still clutching a muffler around her head gave what was unmistakeably a derisive laugh. 'No one's making you stay!' Hermione whispered, bristling at her. 'The Tournament will be officially opened at the end of the feast,' said Dumbledore. 'I now invite you all to eat, drink, and make yourselves at home!' He sat down, and Harry saw Karkaroff lean forward at once and engage him in conversation.

霍格沃茨的学生们笑了。 布斯巴顿夫妇似乎一点也不尴尬，直到马克西姆夫人在邓布利多的左手边坐下，他们才重新坐下。 然而邓布利多仍然站着，礼堂里一片寂静。 “晚上好，女士们，先生们，鬼魂们，尤其是客人们。”邓布利多笑眯眯地望着周围的外国学生说。 “我非常高兴地欢迎大家来到霍格沃茨。 我希望并相信您在这里的逗留将既舒适又愉快。”布斯巴顿的一个姑娘仍然用一条围巾围在头上，发出一声显然是嘲弄的笑声。 “没人逼你留下！”赫敏小声说，对她怒不可遏。 “争霸赛将在宴会结束时正式开幕。”邓布利多说。 “我现在邀请你们大家尽情吃喝，别拘束！”他坐了下来，哈利看见卡卡洛夫立刻向前探过身来，跟他攀谈起来。

The dishes in front of them filled with food as usual. The house-elves in the kitchen seemed to have pulled out all the stops; there was a greater variety of dishes in front of them than Harry had ever seen, including several that were definitely foreign. 'What's that?' said Ron, pointing at a large dish of some sort of shellfish stew that stood beside a large steak-and-kidney pudding. 'Bouillabaisse,' said Hermione. 'Bless you,' said Ron. 'It's French,' said Hermione. 'I had it on holiday, summer before last, it's very nice.' 'I'll take your word for it,' said Ron, helping himself to black pudding. The Great Hall seemed somehow much more crowded than usual, even though there were barely twenty additional students there; perhaps it was because their differently coloured uniforms stood out so clearly against the black of the Hogwarts robes. Now that they had removed their furs, the Durmstrang students were revealed to be wearing robes of a deep, blood red.

他们面前的盘子像往常一样装满了食物。 厨房里的家养小精灵似乎使出了浑身解数。他们面前的菜肴种类繁多，是哈利从未见过的，其中有几道菜肯定是外国的。 “那是什么?罗恩指着一大盘炖贝类，旁边放着一大块牛排腰子布丁。 “鱼汤。”赫敏说。 “上帝保佑你。”罗恩说。“是法语。”赫敏说。 “我在度假的时候吃过，前年夏天，味道很好。“我相信你的话。”罗恩说着吃起了黑布丁。 礼堂里似乎比平时多了许多人，尽管只多了二十个学生。也许是因为他们不同颜色的制服在霍格沃茨黑色长袍的映衬下显得格外显眼。 德姆斯特朗的学生们脱下了皮草，露出了他们穿着深血红色的长袍。
