17 The Four Champions

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN The Four Champions Harry sat there, aware that every head in the Great Hall had turned to look at him. He was stunned. He felt numb. He was surely dreaming. He had not heard correctly. There was no applause. A buzzing, as though of angry bees, was starting to fill the Hall; some students were standing up to get a better look at Harry as he sat, frozen, in his seat. Up at the top table, Professor McGonagall had got to her feet and swept past Ludo Bagman and Professor Karkaroff to whisper urgently to Professor Dumbledore, who bent his ear towards her, frowning slightly.

第十七章四个勇士哈利坐在那里，意识到礼堂里的每个人都转过头来看着他。 他惊呆了。他感到麻木。 他肯定是在做梦。他听错了。 没有掌声。礼堂里开始充满了嗡嗡声，好像是愤怒的蜜蜂在嗡嗡叫。哈利呆呆地坐在座位上，一些学生站了起来，想看得更清楚一些。 在餐桌上，麦格教授站了起来，匆匆走过卢多·巴格曼和卡卡洛夫教授身边，急切地对邓布利多教授耳语。邓布利多侧过耳朵，微微皱着眉头。

Harry turned to Ron and Hermione; beyond them, he saw the long Gryffindor table all watching him, open mouthed. 'I didn't put my name in,' Harry said blankly. 'You know I didn't.' Both of them stared just as blankly back. At the top table, Professor Dumbledore had straightened up, nodding to Professor McGonagall. 'Harry Potter!' he called again. 'Harry! Up here, if you please!' 'Go on,' Hermione whispered, giving Harry a slight push. Harry got to his feet, trod on the hem of his robes and stumbled slightly. He set off up the gap between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables. It felt like an immensely long walk; the top table didn't seem to be getting any nearer at all, and he could feel hundreds and hundreds of eyes upon him, as though each was a searchlight. The buzzing grew louder and louder. After what seemed like an hour, he was right in front of

哈利转向罗恩和赫敏。在他们后面，他看见格兰芬多长长的桌子上的人都张大了嘴看着他。 “我没有填我的名字。”哈利茫然地说。 “你知道我没有。”他们俩也同样茫然地盯着对方。 在餐桌上，邓布利多教授站直了身子，朝麦格教授点了点头。 “哈利·波特!他又叫道。 “哈利!请到这里来！“继续。”赫敏小声说，轻轻推了哈利一下。 哈利站起来，踩在袍子的下摆上，微微绊了一下。 他朝格兰芬多和赫奇帕奇桌子之间的空隙走去。 这感觉就像走了很长一段路；最高的桌子似乎一点也没有靠近，他能感觉到成百上千只眼睛盯着他，仿佛每只眼睛都是一盏探照灯。 嗡嗡声越来越响。 大概过了一个小时，他来到了我的面前

Dumbledore, feeling the stares of all the teachers upon him. 'Well… through the door, Harry,' said Dumbledore. He wasn't smiling. Harry moved off along the teachers' table. Hagrid was sat right at the end. He did not wink at Harry, or wave, or give any of his usual signs of greeting. He looked completely astonished, and stared at Harry as he passed, like everyone else. Harry went through the door out of the Great Hall, and found himself in a smaller room, lined with paintings of witches and wizards. A handsome fire was roaring in the fireplace opposite him. The faces in the portraits turned to look at him as he entered. He saw a wizened witch flit out of the frame of her picture and into the one next to it, which contained a wizard with a walrus moustache. The wizened witch started whispering in his ear. Viktor Krum, Cedric Diggory and Fleur Delacour were grouped around the fire. They looked strangely impressive, silhouetted against the flames. Krum, hunched up and brooding, was

邓布利多感到所有老师都在盯着他看。 “嗯……从那扇门进去，哈利。”邓布利多说。 他没有笑。哈利沿着教师桌走开了。 海格就坐在最后。 他没有朝哈利眨眼睛，也没有挥手，也没有像往常那样打招呼。 他看上去完全惊呆了，像其他人一样盯着哈利。 哈利穿过大礼堂的门，发现自己走进了一个小房间，房间里挂满了男女巫师的画像。 他对面的壁炉里，炉火熊熊地燃烧着。 他进来时，画像上的脸都转过头来看着他。 他看见一个干瘪的女巫从她的相框里飞了出来，来到旁边的一幅画里，画上是一个留着海象胡子的男巫。 干瘪的女巫开始在他耳边低语。 威克多尔·克鲁姆、塞德里克·迪戈里和芙蓉·德拉库尔围在火堆旁。 在火焰的映衬下，他们的剪影显得出奇地令人印象深刻。 克鲁姆弯着腰沉思着

leaning against the mantelpiece, slightly apart from the other two. Cedric was standing with his hands behind his back, staring into the fire. Fleur Delacour looked around when Harry walked in, and threw back her sheet of long, silvery hair. 'What is it?' she said. 'Do zey want us back in ze Hall?' She thought he had come to deliver a message. Harry didn't know how to explain what had just happened. He just stood there, looking at the three champions. It struck him how very tall all of them were. There was a sound of scurrying feet behind him, and Ludo Bagman entered the room. He took Harry by the arm, and led him forwards. 'Extraordinary!' he muttered, squeezing Harry's arm. 'Absolutely extraordinary! Gentlemen… lady,' he added, approaching the fireside and addressing the other three. 'May I introduce– incredible though it may seem– the fourth Triwizard champion?' Viktor Krum straightened up. His surly face darkened as he surveyed Harry. Cedric looked

靠在壁炉台上，和另外两个人稍稍分开。 塞德里克双手放在背后站着，眼睛盯着炉火。 哈利走进来时，芙蓉·德拉库尔环顾四周，甩了甩她那长长的银发。 “什么事？”她说。“他们想让我们回礼堂吗？”她以为他是来送信的。 哈利不知道怎样解释刚才发生的事情。 他只是站在那里，看着三位冠军。 他突然想到他们都那么高。 身后传来一阵急促的脚步声，卢多·巴格曼走了进来。 他抓住哈利的胳膊，领着他往前走。 “非凡!他嘟囔着，一把抓住哈利的胳膊。 “绝对非凡!先生们……女士，”他走到炉边，对另外三个人说。 “请允许我介绍——虽然看起来不可思议——第四位三强争霸赛的勇士？”威克多尔·克鲁姆直起了腰。 他打量着哈利，阴沉着阴沉的脸。 塞德里克看起来

nonplussed. He looked from Bagman to Harry and back again as though sure he must have misheard what Bagman had said. Fleur Delacour, however, tossed her hair, smiling, and said, 'Oh, vairy funny joke, Meester Bagman.' 'Joke?' Bagman repeated, bewildered. 'No, no, not at all! Harry's name just came out of the Goblet of Fire!' Krum's thick eyebrows contracted slightly. Cedric was still looking politely bewildered. Fleur frowned. 'But evidently zair 'as been a mistake,' she said contemptuously to Bagman.' 'E cannot compete. 'E is too young.' 'Well… it is amazing,' said Bagman, rubbing his smooth chin and smiling down at Harry. 'But, as you know, the age restriction was only imposed this year as an extra safety measure. And as his name's come out of the Goblet… I mean, I don't think there can be any ducking out at this stage… it's down in the rules, you're obliged… Harry will just have to do the best he–' The door behind them opened again, and a large group of people came in: Professor Dumbledore,

不以为然。他看看巴格曼，看看哈利，又看看巴格曼，好像肯定自己听错了巴格曼的话。 芙蓉·德拉库尔却甩了甩头发，微笑着说：“哦，真是个有趣的笑话，巴格曼师傅。“玩笑?”巴格曼困惑地重复道。 “不，不，一点也不！”哈利的名字刚从火焰杯里冒出来！”克鲁姆的浓眉微微皱了起来。 塞德里克仍然礼貌地露出困惑的样子。 弗勒皱起了眉头。“但这显然是个错误。”她轻蔑地对巴格曼说。他不能竞争。 “他太年轻了。“嗯……太神奇了。”巴格曼搓着光滑的下巴，低头朝哈利微笑着说。 “但是，正如你所知，年龄限制是今年作为额外的安全措施才实施的。” 他的名字已经从火焰杯里出来了……我的意思是，我认为在这个阶段是不能逃避的……这是规定，你有义务……哈利只能尽他最大的努力——”他们身后的门又开了，一大群人走了进来：邓布利多教授，邓布利多教授，哈利。

followed closely by Mr Crouch, Professor Karkaroff, Madame Maxime, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. Harry heard the buzzing of the hundreds of students on the other side of the wall, before Professor McGonagall closed the door. 'Madame Maxime!' said Fleur at once, striding over to her Headmistress. 'Zey are saying zat zis little boy is to compete also!' Somewhere under Harry's numb disbelief, he felt a ripple of anger. Little boy? Madame Maxime had drawn herself up to her full, and considerable, height. The top of her handsome head brushed the candle-filled chandelier, and her gigantic black satin bosom swelled. 'What is ze meaning of zis, Dumbly-dorr?' she said imperiously. 'I'd rather like to know that myself, Dumbledore,' said Professor Karkaroff. He was wearing a steely smile, and his blue eyes were like chips of ice. 'Two Hogwarts champions? I don't remember anyone telling me the host school is

后面紧跟着克劳奇先生、卡卡洛夫教授、马克西姆夫人、麦格教授和斯内普教授。 麦格教授把门关上之前，哈利听到了墙那边几百名学生的嗡嗡声。 “马克西姆夫人!芙蓉立刻说，大步走向她的校长。 “他们说他的小男孩也要参加比赛！”在哈利麻木的难以置信之下，他感到一阵愤怒。 小男孩?马克西姆夫人挺直了腰板，挺直了腰板。 她那漂亮的头顶拂过满是蜡烛的枝形吊灯，她那黑色绸缎的大胸脯鼓了起来。 “这是什么意思，邓布利多？”她专横地说。 “我自己也想知道，邓布利多。”卡卡洛夫教授说。 他脸上挂着坚毅的笑容，蓝色的眼睛像碎冰一样。 “两个霍格沃茨勇士？”我不记得有人告诉过我寄宿学校是
