5 Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes

—CHAPTER FIVE— Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Harry spun faster and faster, elbows tucked tightly to his sides, blurred fireplaces flashing past him, until he started to feel sick and closed his eyes. Then, when at last he felt himself slowing down, he threw out his hands, and brought himself to a halt in time to prevent himself falling face forwards out of the Weasleys' kitchen fire. 'Did he eat it?' said Fred excitedly, holding out a hand to pull Harry to his feet. 'Yeah,' said Harry, straightening up. 'What was it?'

第五章韦斯莱的魔法把戏哈利转得越来越快，胳膊肘紧紧地夹在身体两侧，模糊的壁炉从他身边闪过，最后他感到恶心，闭上了眼睛。 后来，他终于觉得自己慢了下来，就伸出双手，及时站住，免得脸朝下从韦斯莱家厨房的火里掉下去。 “他吃了吗？”弗雷德兴奋地说，伸出一只手把哈利拉了起来。 “是啊。”哈利说着，直起了腰。 “那是什么？”

'Ton-Tongue Toffee,' said Fred brightly. 'George and I invented them, we've been looking for someone to test them on all summer …' The tiny kitchen exploded with laughter; Harry looked around and saw that Ron and George were sitting at the scrubbed wooden table with two red- haired people Harry had never seen before, though he knew immediately who they must be: Bill and Charlie, the two eldest Weasley brothers. 'How're you doing, Harry?' said the nearer of the two, grinning at him and holding out a large hand, which Harry shook, feeling calluses and blisters under his fingers. This had to be Charlie, who worked with dragons in Romania. Charlie was built like the twins, shorter and stockier than Percy and Ron, who were both long and lanky. He had a broad, good-natured face, which was weather-beaten and so freckly that he looked almost tanned; his arms were muscly, and one of them had a large, shiny burn on it. Bill got to his feet, smiling, and also shook Harry's hand. Bill came as something of a surprise. Harry knew that he worked for the

“肥舌太妃糖。”弗雷德高兴地说。 “是乔治和我发明的，我们整个夏天都在找人做实验……”小小的厨房里爆发出一阵笑声。哈利扭头一看，只见罗恩和乔治正坐在擦得干干净净的木桌旁，旁边坐着两个红头发的人，哈利以前从未见过，但他马上就知道他们是谁了：比尔和查理，韦斯莱家的两个老大。 “你好吗，哈利？”两人中离他较近的那个咧嘴笑着说，伸出一只大手，哈利握了握，感觉手指下起了老茧和水泡。 这一定是查理，他在罗马尼亚研究龙。 查理的身材和那对双胞胎一样，比珀西和罗恩矮一些，结实一些，珀西和罗恩都又长又瘦。 他长着一张宽宽的、和蔼可亲的脸，饱经风霜，脸上布满了雀斑，看上去几乎被晒黑了。他的手臂肌肉发达，其中一只手臂上有一块又大又亮的烧伤。 比尔笑着站了起来，也握了握哈利的手。 比尔的到来有点出乎意料。 哈利知道他为

wizarding bank, Gringotts, that he had been Head Boy of Hogwarts, and had always imagined Bill to be an older version of Percy; fussy about rule- breaking and fond of bossing everyone around. However, Bill was– there was no other word for it– cool. He was tall, with long hair that he had tied back in a ponytail. He was wearing an earring with what looked like a fang dangling from it. His clothes would not have looked out of place at a rock concert, except that Harry recognised his boots to be made, not of leather, but of dragon hide. Before any of them could say anything else, there was a faint popping noise, and Mr Weasley appeared out of thin air at George's shoulder. He was looking angrier than Harry had ever seen him. 'That wasn't funny, Fred!' he shouted. 'What on earth did you give that Muggle boy?' 'I didn't give him anything,' said Fred, with another evil grin. 'I just dropped it… it was his fault he went and ate it, I never told him to.' 'You dropped it on purpose!' roared Mr Weasley. 'You knew he'd eat it, you knew he was

他说他曾经是霍格沃茨的男生学生会主席，一直把比尔想象成老版本的珀西。对打破规则很挑剔，喜欢对周围的人发号施令。 然而，比尔——没有别的词可以形容——很酷。 他个子很高，头发很长，扎了个马尾辫。 他戴着一只耳环，上面挂着一只獠牙。 他的衣服在摇滚音乐会上不会显得不合时宜，但哈利认出他的靴子不是皮革做的，而是龙皮做的。 他们还没来得及说话，就听见一声微弱的爆破声，韦斯莱先生从稀薄的空气中出现在乔治的肩膀上。 哈利从来没有见过他这么生气。 “这不好玩，弗雷德！”他喊道。 “你到底给了那个麻瓜男孩什么？”“我什么也没给他。”弗雷德说，又邪恶地咧嘴一笑。 “我只是把它掉在地上……是他的错，他去吃了它，我从来没有告诉过他。”“你是故意掉的！”韦斯莱先生吼道。 “你知道他会吃的，你知道他会吃

on a diet–' 'How big did his tongue get?' George asked eagerly. 'It was four foot long before his parents would let me shrink it!' Harry and the Weasleys roared with laughter again. 'It isn't funny!' Mr Weasley shouted. 'That sort of behaviour seriously undermines wizard– Muggle relations! I spend half my life campaigning against the mistreatment of Muggles, and my own sons–' 'We didn't give it to him because he was a Muggle!' said Fred indignantly. 'No, we gave it to him because he's a great bullying git,' said George. 'Isn't he, Harry?' 'Yeah, he is, Mr Weasley,' said Harry earnestly. 'That's not the point!' raged Mr Weasley. 'You wait until I tell your mother–' 'Tell me what?' said a voice behind them. Mrs Weasley had just entered the kitchen. She was a short, plump woman with a very kind face,

他在节食——”“他的舌头变多大了？”乔治急切地问。 “在他父母让我把它缩小之前，它有四英尺长！”哈利和韦斯莱一家又哈哈大笑起来。 “这一点也不好笑！”韦斯莱先生喊道。 “这种行为严重破坏了巫师和麻瓜的关系！”我花了半辈子的时间反对虐待麻瓜，而我自己的儿子们——”“我们给他不是因为他是麻瓜！弗雷德气愤地说。 “不，我们给他是因为他是个恃强凌弱的混蛋。”乔治说。 “是吗，哈利？”“是的，他是，韦斯莱先生。”哈利认真地说。 “这不是重点！”韦斯莱先生怒吼道。 “等我告诉你妈妈——”“告诉我什么？他们身后一个声音说。 韦斯莱夫人刚走进厨房。 她是一个矮胖的女人，有一张非常慈祥的脸，

though her eyes were presently narrowed with suspicion. 'Oh, hello, Harry dear,' she said, spotting him and smiling. Then her eyes snapped back to her husband. 'Tell me what, Arthur?' Mr Weasley hesitated. Harry could tell that, however angry he was with Fred and George, he hadn't really intended to tell Mrs Weasley what had happened. There was a silence, while Mr Weasley eyed his wife nervously. Then two girls appeared in the kitchen doorway behind Mrs Weasley. One, with very bushy brown hair and rather large front teeth, was Harry and Ron's friend, Hermione Granger. The other, who was small and red-haired, was Ron's younger sister, Ginny. Both of them smiled at Harry, who grinned back, which made Ginny go scarlet– she had been very taken with Harry ever since his first visit to The Burrow. 'Tell me what, Arthur?' Mrs Weasley repeated, in a dangerous sort of voice. 'It's nothing, Molly,' mumbled Mr Weasley, 'Fred and George just– but I've had words with

虽然她怀疑地眯起了眼睛。 “哦，你好，亲爱的哈利。”她看见他，微笑着说。 然后她的目光又回到了丈夫身上。 “告诉我什么，亚瑟？”韦斯莱先生犹豫了一下。 哈利看得出来，不管他多么生弗雷德和乔治的气，他并不想把发生的事情告诉韦斯莱夫人。 一阵沉默，韦斯莱先生紧张地看着他的妻子。 这时，韦斯莱夫人身后的厨房门口出现了两个女孩。 一个是哈利和罗恩的朋友赫敏·格兰杰，有着浓密的棕色头发和相当大的门牙。 另一个身材矮小，红头发，是罗恩的妹妹金妮。 两人都朝哈利笑了笑，哈利也咧嘴一笑，金妮的脸涨得通红——自从哈利第一次来陋居，她就被他深深吸引住了。 “告诉我什么，亚瑟？”韦斯莱夫人用一种危险的声音重复道。 “没什么，莫丽，”韦斯莱先生含糊地说，“弗雷德和乔治刚才——不过我跟他们吵了一架

them–' 'What have they done this time?' said Mrs Weasley. 'If it's got anything to do with Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes–' 'Why don't you show Harry where he's sleeping, Ron?' said Hermione from the doorway. 'He knows where he's sleeping,' said Ron. 'In my room, he slept there last–' 'We can all go,' said Hermione, pointedly. 'Oh,' said Ron, cottoning on. 'Right.' 'Yeah, we'll come, too,' said George– 'You stay where you are!' snarled Mrs Weasley. Harry and Ron edged out of the kitchen, and they, Hermione and Ginny set off along the narrow hallway and up the rickety staircase that zig-zagged through the house to the upper storeys. 'What are Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes?' Harry asked, as they climbed. Ron and Ginny both laughed, although Hermione didn't. 'Mum found this stack of order forms when she was cleaning Fred and George's room,' said Ron

他们——”“这次他们又干了什么？韦斯莱夫人说。 “你为什么不带哈利去看看他睡觉的地方呢，罗恩？”赫敏在门口问。 “他知道自己睡在哪里。”罗恩说。 “我们都可以走了。”赫敏尖锐地说。 “哦。”罗恩明白了。 的权利。“是啊，我们也去，”乔治说，“你待在这儿别动！”韦斯莱夫人咆哮道。 哈利和罗恩蹑手蹑脚地走出厨房，他们和赫敏、金妮沿着狭窄的走廊往前走，爬上摇摇晃晃的楼梯，那楼梯弯弯曲曲地穿过房子，通往楼上。 “韦斯莱魔法把戏是什么？”他们上楼时，哈利问。 罗恩和金妮都笑了，赫敏却没有。 “妈妈打扫弗雷德和乔治的房间时，发现了这一叠订购单。”罗恩说
