„Arthur, old companion!”Hearrives at the bonfire, „is weathermuch good? Toogood, suchweather, whichonlooks! Iforecastthatin the eveningdefinitelyhad not said that the entirepreparatory workin good order, nothingmaybe done!”
“亚瑟,老伙计!”他来到篝火边,“天气多好啊,是不是?太棒了,这样的天气,上哪儿找去!我预测,晚上肯定没有云,整个筹备工作井井有条,没什么事情可做!”Inhimbehind, onecrowd of facial featuresthin and paleMinistry of Magic Official(s) run in a hurry.
在他身后,一群面容憔悴的魔法部官员匆匆跑过。
The distant placehas the signto indicate that somepeopleare playingmagic flame, the purplesparkleaps up more than 20feethigh.
远处有迹象表明有人在玩魔火,紫色的火花蹿起20多英尺高。Regardinghis predict that everybodywas skeptical, tonightwill not do wellwill rain
对于他的预测,大家都表示怀疑,今天晚上弄不好会下雨InMr. Weasleybehind, Percygoes forwardhurriedlyonestep, puts out a hand.
在韦斯莱先生身后,珀西急忙上前一步,伸出手去。„Thisismy sonPercy, justarrived at the the Ministry of Magicwork!”Mr. Weasleysaidthat„whatsits there isSirius Black, then, isFred, George, Bill, CharlieandRon, my daughterGinny, youhad seenbefore, whathereisIvan MasonandHermioneGrangerandHarry Potter.”
“这是我儿子珀西,刚刚到魔法部工作!”韦斯莱先生笑着说,“坐在那里的是小天狼星布莱克,然后,是弗雷德、乔治、比尔、查理、罗恩,还有我的女儿金妮,你之前都见过的,这边的是艾文梅森、赫敏格兰杰和哈利波特。”HeintroducedeverybodytoBagmanone by one, whenseeingSirius, Bagmansomewhatwas obviously surprised.
他向巴格曼一一介绍大家,在看到小天狼星时,巴格曼明显有些吃惊。
The expression on hisfaceis very complex, seemsis more likeis being afraid.
他脸上的表情很复杂,看上去更像是在害怕。Siriushas said that becauseBagmanonceprovided the secret intelligenceto stand trialtoDeath Eater(s)Rockwood.小天狼星说过,巴格曼曾经因为向食死徒卢克伍德提供机密情报而受审。When the pasttrial, theyoncehad the shortcontact.
在当年的审判时,他们曾有过短暂的接触。As ifremembers the passingexperience, makinghimquitedreadtoSirius.
似乎是想起过往的经历,让他对小天狼星颇为忌惮。Whenthenhears the Harry'sname, Bagmanalsoslightlyappears the surprisedappearance.
等到接下来听到哈利的名字,巴格曼也微微显出吃惊的样子。„Good, good, do youwantunder a gambling staketo the competition?”Bagmansaidanxiously.
“好吧,好吧,你们想对比赛下个赌注吗?”巴格曼急切地说。Afterintroducing, hetoeverybody the yellowblackrobepocketwas making that bitesto be on duty the sound, insidehas as if installedmanygold coins.
在介绍完之后,他对着大家把黄黑长袍的口袋弄得叮当直响,里面似乎装了不少金币。It seems like that thisishecomesheremain purpose.
看来,这才是他来这里的主要目的。„IconvincedinRoddy Ponterto make a betwithme, hesaid that Bulgariawill have the firstgoal, Ihave decided very highoddstohim, becauseIconsidered that No. 3vanguard in Irelandismytheseyearshas seenbest. Little Agatha Timmspresses the halfstock of hereelvillage, made a bet saying that the competitionmustcontinue for oneweek.”
“我已经说服罗迪庞特内和我打赌,他说保加利亚会进第一个球,我给他定了很高的赔率,因为我考虑到爱尔兰的三号前锋是我这些年来见过的最棒的。小阿加莎蒂姆斯把她的鳗鱼农庄的一半股票都压上,打赌说比赛要持续一个星期。”„Ileavea Galleonto betIrelandto win, ok?”Mr. Weasleyhesitatedwas saying.
“我出一个加隆赌爱尔兰赢,行吗?”韦斯莱先生犹豫着说。„a Galleon?!”Bagmanis somewhat disappointed, butquickrestored the interest, „is very good, do otherswantto bet?”
“一个加隆?!”巴格曼有些失望,但很快就恢复了兴致,“很好,还有别人想赌吗?”HeanticipateslookstoSirius, butSiriushas not managedhimfrom the start.
他期待的看向小天狼星,但小天狼星压根没有理他。Bagmantouches the noseawkwardly, does not dareto sayanything, the visionshiftstootherpeople.巴格曼尴尬地摸了摸鼻子,不敢多说什么,目光转移到其他人身上。„They are too young, cannotgamble.”Mr. Weasleysaidhurriedly.
“他们还太小,不能赌博。”韦斯莱先生急忙说。„Wepress46Galleon(s), 32Sickel(s), eightKnut(s)!”FredsaidthatheandGeorgetook out moneyrapidly, „betsIrelandto win, butViktor Krumwill catchGolden Snitch.”
“我们压上46个加隆,32个西可,八个纳特!”弗雷德说,他和乔治迅速掏出钱,“赌爱尔兰赢,但威克多尔克鲁姆会抓到金色飞贼。”
Before Ivan, givestheirfinancial aids and customerincomeinshopis confiscatedbyMrs. Weasleycompletely, about200gold Galleon(s).艾文之前给他们的援助资金和在店里面的产品销售收入全部被韦斯莱夫人没收,将近200个金加隆。Mrs. Weasleysaid that mustgive back tohimfor the twinthese, anddoes not permitIvanto give the Fred and Georgemoney.韦斯莱夫人说要替双胞胎把这些还给他,并且不准艾文在给弗雷德和乔治钱。Howeverthishas not perplexedthem, when the businessis hottest, theyonceaskedLee Jordanto helpthemsellmanyjokecommodities.
但是这并没有难住他们两个,在生意最火的时候,他们曾经拜托李乔丹帮助他们卖出很多笑话商品。
The Hogwartssmallwizard'sowlorder, mostly is completedin this way.霍格沃茨小巫师的猫头鹰订购,大多是通过这种方式完成的。Their twojustexited, iscollects debts.
他们两个刚刚出去,就是去收账的。
After coming back, theytoldIvanthismattersecretly.
回来后,他们将这件事偷偷地告诉艾文。Fred and Georgeplanned that asstarts the fundthissum of moneyonce more, stages a comeback.弗雷德和乔治打算将这笔钱作为再次启动资金,东山再起。Has not thoughtthattheyallwill takehere, participatestooneat allnotgambling that is possibleto win.
没有想到,他们会在这里全都拿出来,参与到一场根本不可能赢的赌博。IvanthinksactuallyFred and Georgewill guesswrong, buthewas skepticalon the Ludo Bagmanmoral behavior.艾文倒不是认为弗雷德和乔治会猜错,但他对卢多巴格曼的人品表示怀疑。„Children!”Mr. Weasleylowered the sound saying that „Idid not hopeyouto gamble, yourmothers”
“孩子们!”韦斯莱先生压低声音说,“我不希望你们赌博,你们的母亲”„Do not feel disappointed, Arthur!” The Ludo Bagmangruff voiceatmospheresaidthatat the same time the money in pocketmadeexcitedlydingdongchaoticsound, „theywere big, knowsoneselfwantanything! Youthink that Irelandwill win, but can KrumholdGolden Snitch? Is impossible, the children, are impossible, Igiveyouveryhighodds”
“不要扫兴嘛,亚瑟!”卢多巴格曼粗声大气地说,一边兴奋地把口袋里的钱弄得叮当乱响,“他们已经大了,知道自己想要什么!你们认为爱尔兰会赢,但克鲁姆能抓住金色飞贼?不可能,孩子们,不可能,我给你们很高的赔率”Ludo Bagmanfastextracts the notebookandquill, writes downtwin brothers'nameillegibly.卢多巴格曼飞快地抽出笔记本和羽毛笔,潦草地写下孪生兄弟的名字。Mr. Weasleylooksin the one sidereluctantly, all that is incapable ofpreventinghave.韦斯莱先生在一旁无奈地看着,无力阻止正在发生的一切。„George, calm, youare impossibleto win!”Ivanhas drawnGeorge'srobegently.
“乔治,冷静一下,你们不可能赢的!”艾文轻轻地拉了拉乔治的袍子。„Relax, ourinnatediscretion!”Georgesaid not completely indifferently.
“放心吧,我们自有分寸!”乔治满不在乎地说。„Ourtwocarefullyanalyzed the beforehandallcompetitions, Viktor Krum”Fredhad said.
“我们两个认真分析过之前所有比赛,威克多尔克鲁姆”弗雷德说。„Mymeaningis, even ifyouhave won, thisfellowwill not give possiblyyoumoney!”Ivanenhances the sound, saidimmodestly.
“我的意思是,即便你们赢了,这个家伙也可能不会把钱给你们!”艾文提高声音,不客气地说。Veryobviously, Bagmanalsohears the words that hespoke, the complexionbecomessomewhatembarrassed, butis written in water.
很显然,巴格曼也听到他说的话,脸色变得有些难堪,但转瞬即逝。„Children, the children, youcanexitto inquire that myprestige, oldBagman is always is willing the gamblingto concede!”Bagmansaidloudlythat„Icanmake the guaranteewith the status of the Ministry of MagicDirectorDepartment of Magical Games and Sports, butIhave saying that your twowon the possibilityto be too low!”
“孩子们,孩子们,你们可以出去打听打听我的信誉,老巴格曼向来是愿赌服输的!”巴格曼大声说,“我可以用魔法部体育运动司司长的身份作保证,但我不得不说,你们两个赢得可能性太低了!”Since the wordsspoke in thisshare, Ivanalsono longersaidanything.
既然话已经说到这个份上,艾文也不再说什么。MakesFred and Georgebuy a lesson, whenthey, or after money, knows that gamblesthismatterto haveis not good.
就让弗雷德和乔治买个教训,等到他们要不到钱后,就会知道赌博这件事有多么不好。We hope thattheirlaterenergiesrememberedthis point, that never gamble.
希望他们以后能记住这一点,那就是永远都不要赌博。Afterwill signcertificatesmallparchment that givesFred, BagmanchangesMr. Weasley, „Arthur, can youhelp me? Ihave been seeking forBarty Crouch, Bulgariathatandmysame levelofficialam offering an opinionto create obstacles forus, the words that buthespokemycharactercannot understand. Bartywill solvethisproblem, hewill speakabout150languages.”
在将签名的凭证小羊皮纸递给弗雷德后,巴格曼又转向韦斯莱先生,“亚瑟,你能不能帮我一个忙?我一直在寻找巴蒂克劳奇,保加利亚那个和我同等的官员在提意见刁难我们,可他说的话我一个字儿也听不懂。巴蒂会解决这个问题,他会讲大约150种语言呢。”„Mr.Crouchcanspeak200languages!”Percy said excitedly that „includingbeautifulMerpeopleandturkey, Troll”
“克劳奇先生能讲200种语言呢!”珀西激动地说,“包括美人鱼、火鸡,还有巨怪”Obviously, everybodythinks that Percy is boasting.
显然,大家都认为珀西是在吹牛。Georgeis studyingTroll, sends out the snoringsnoring the sound, stirs upeverybodyto laugh.乔治更是学着巨怪,发出呼噜呼噜的声音,惹得大家哈哈大笑。Only then a Percypersonexpresseddiscontentedly, buthas not respondedGeorge.
只有珀西一个人表示不满,但没有搭理乔治。WhenBagmansits downwhen the bonfire, preparesto drinkonecup of tea, the topicshiftstoamberJorkinson.
当巴格曼在篝火前坐下,准备喝一杯茶时,话题又转移到珀莎乔金斯身上。Thiswitch(es)was missingalready for severalmonths, butnobodycared.
这个女巫失踪已经几个月时间了,但没有人对此在意。Especiallyconsidered that Albanian Forestcurrentcondition, sheis perhaps more unfortunate than fortunate.
尤其是考虑到阿尔巴尼亚森林目前的状况,她恐怕凶多吉少。AsDumbledorebrings back toIvanandSirius, the matter that inCentaur vestigehasalsopassed on.
随着邓布利多将艾文和小天狼星带回,马人遗迹中发生的事情也已经传了出来。UnderDumbledore'sadvocates, International Confederation of Wizardswill form the specialgroupto investigatethis mattertoAlbania.
在邓布利多的倡导下,国际巫师联合会将成立专项小组到阿尔巴尼亚对此事进行调查。Howeverthisinvestigation groupcanplaymanyroles, is dubious.
不过这个调查小组能起到多少作用,令人值得怀疑。Thatplaceisunder nobody's jurisdictionregion, allinfluenceis promiscuous, bywizard(s) that Vampire(s)kills is dark wizard(s).
那个地方本来就是三不管地带,各方势力混杂,被吸血鬼杀死的巫师们又全都是黑巫师。
The corpseturns into the flesh and bloodcompletelybyevil god(s) and indescribabledivine creative forceabsorption, nowalldissipates.
尸体全部变成血肉被邪神和不可名状的造物吸收,现在又全部都消散。Finalcasualtywas very difficultto determinethathad not seenwith own eyes, nobodywill acknowledgeVoldemortandevil god(s)oncehad appeared there.( To be continued.).
最后的死亡人数很难确定,没有亲眼见到,没有人会承认伏地魔和邪神曾在那里出现过。(未完待续。)。
