The cold air in platform made Ryan hit to tremble, at this time a rough sound passed on coming „new first years! New first years come over here!” 站台上的寒气让莱恩打了个哆嗦,这时一个粗犷的声音传了过来“一年级新生!一年级新生到这边来!” Ryan sees in one group of students, a burly man stands there like a crane among chickens, in the hand is raising a lamp. His head hair cover, almost must cover the entire face. Beetle black eyes, shining lustre in his tangled hair. 莱恩看见在一群学生中,一个彪形大汉鹤立鸡群的站在那里,手里提着一盏灯。他的头上毛发茂密,几乎要把整个脸都遮住了。一双甲虫似的黑眼睛,在纠结的毛发中闪闪发光。 This should be Hogwarts’ groundskeeper Hagrid, above the piece of huge crowd of crowd assembling, Hagrid gathers the face of full beard to reveal the smile. „Come, comes with me, new first years? Be careful under your feet, ok! new first years comes with me!” 这应该就是霍格沃茨的看守海格了,在万头攒动的一片人海之上,海格蓄着大胡子的脸露着微笑。“来吧,跟我来,还有一年级新生吗?当心你们脚底下,好了!一年级新生跟我来!” All new student follow Hagrid along a rugged dark alley rough walks toward the slope, Neville almost slips into, good Ryan held his promptly. 所有新生跟着海格沿着一条崎岖黑暗的小路磕磕绊绊的往坡下走去,纳威差点滑到,还好莱恩及时扶了他一把。 „Turns around this curved, you wanted to see Hogwarts immediately for the first time.” Hagrid then shouts. “拐过这个弯,你们马上就要第一次看到霍格沃茨了。”海格回头喊道。 Has made a turn, even if Ryan soul age over 30 years old , there is a preparation, but the schoolmates opened big mouth to exude the whoa together. 转过弯,哪怕莱恩灵魂年龄三十多岁,也有心理准备,但还是和同学们一起张大嘴发出了惊叹声。 The narrow alley end launched a black lake suddenly. Is towering a palatial castle on the lake opposite shore high hillside, in the castle the spire stands in great numbers, leaves of windows glitter under the starry sky. 狭窄的小路尽头突然展开了一片黑色的湖泊。在湖对岸高高的山坡上耸立着一座巍峨的城堡,城堡上塔尖林立,一扇扇窗口在星空下闪烁。 „Each ship cannot over four people!” Hagrid is pointing at one team of boats that anchor in the shore said loudly. On Ryan and Hermione the boat, Neville also followed. “每条船不能超过四人!”海格指着泊在岸边的一队小船大声说。莱恩和赫敏上了小船,纳威也跟着上来了。 „Embarked?” Hagrid shouts, his rides a ship. „That good advance duo!” One team of boats score the wave even as if a mirror lake surface to drive forward. “都上船了吗?”海格喊道,他自己一人乘一条船。“那好前进哆!”一队小船即刻划过波平如镜的湖面向前驶去。 This is the new student admittance ceremony, Ryan is looking at the standing tall and erect castle, recalls the previous generation has read book. 这是新生的入学仪式吧,莱恩望着高耸的城堡,回忆起前世看过的书。 In the past four founders should follow this road like this, is steering the boat across Great Lake arrived at Hogwarts, therefore afterward students must walk one time this segment path. 当年四位创始人应该就是这样顺着这条路,驾驶着小船穿过黑湖来到霍格沃兹的吧,所以后来的学生们也要走一次这段路。 The fleet approaches the castle slowly, „lowers the head!” When the first batch of boats drive near cliff, Hagrid shouts loudly. Everyone lowers the head, small ship-based they across covering cliff positive/direct ivy curtain, arrives at the secret the open entrance. 船队慢慢靠近城堡,“低头!”当第一批小船驶近峭壁时,海格大声喊道。大家都低下头来,小船载着他们穿过覆盖山崖正面的常春藤帐幔,来到隐秘的开阔入口。 They as if arrived at the castle along a jet black tunnel underground, finally went a place of similar underground wharf, then climbs up a piece of crushed stone and small cobblestone ground. 他们沿着一条漆黑的隧道似乎来到了城堡地下,最后到达了一个类似地下码头的地方,然后又攀上一片碎石和小鹅卵石的地面。 Everyone follows Hagrid to climb up stone steps, gathers before a giant oak door. „Was in attendance?” Inquired, Hagrid raised a gigantic fist, knocked three toward the castle front door on. 所有人跟着海格攀上一段石阶,聚在一扇巨大的橡木门前。“都到齐了吗?”询问完,海格举起一只硕大的拳头,往城堡大门上敲了三下。 The gate opens wide immediately. High stature black hair witch that wears emerald-green robes stands before the front door serious. This should be Professor McGonagall. 门立时洞开。一个身穿翠绿色长袍的高个儿黑发女巫神情严肃地站在大门前。这应该就是麦格教授了。 „new first years, Professor McGonagall.” Hagrid said. “一年级新生,麦格教授。”海格说。 „Thank you, Hagrid. Gave me to here.” “谢谢你,海格。到这里就交给我了。” Later Professor McGonagall hints all new student to follow she to walk. Can see around the channel two sides stone walls is the torches of flaming combustion ; The ceiling is almost high cannot see the top ; Directly is a flight of luxurious marble staircase, goes nonstop to the building. 之后麦格教授示意所有新生跟着她走。可以看见通道两边的石墙周围都是熊熊燃烧的火炬;天花板高得几乎看不到顶;正面则是一段豪华的大理石楼梯,直通楼上。 Transferred curved, Professor McGonagall has brought in a hall another very small vacant room new first years. Everyone swarms , the Moroccan shoulder rubs the back presses together, is staring at the surrounding all anxiously carefully, because later can be very important time. 转过一个弯,麦格教授把一年级新生带到了大厅另一头的一间很小的空屋里。大家一拥而入,摩肩擦背地挤在一起,紧张地仔细凝望着周围的一切,因为之后会是非常重要的时刻。 „Welcome you to arrive at Hogwarts,” Professor McGonagall said, „ beginning school feast must start, but you before arriving at Great Hall/restaurant take a seat, first wants you to determine that which house you enter respectively. The classification is a very important ceremony, because you during the school, house like you in Hogwarts’. You must in other schoolmates with house attend class together, in the dormitory lodging of house, spent after school in the house common room together. “欢迎你们来到霍格沃茨,”麦格教授说,“开学宴就要开始了,不过你们在到餐厅入席之前,首先要你们大家确定一下你们各自进入哪一所学院。分类是一项很重要的仪式,因为你们在校期间,学院就像你们在霍格沃茨的家。你们要与学院里的其他同学一起上课,一起在学院的宿舍住宿,一起在学院的公共休息室里度过课余时间。 „ The four houses name is as follows: Griffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has own glorious history, cultivated outstanding wizards and witches. You when Hogwarts go study, your excellent performances can make house that you are at win the awarded marks, but any illegal activities make house that you are at reduce difference. When year's end, attains highest score house to obtain House Cup, this is very high honor. I hope you, regardless of can win glory for house the minute to house. “四所学院的名称分别是:格兰芬多、赫奇帕奇、拉文克劳和斯莱特林。每所学院都拥有自己的光荣历史,都培育出了杰出的男女巫师。你们在霍格沃茨就读期间,你们的出色表现会使你们所在的学院赢得加分,而任何违规行为则使你们所在的学院减分。年终时,获最高分的学院可获得学院杯,这是很高的荣誉。我希望你们不论分到哪所学院都能为学院争光。 „ Several minutes, the branch ceremony must be held before the school teachers and students. I suggested that you when waiting, reorganizes itself well, is more energetic. “过几分钟,分院仪式就要在全校师生面前举行。我建议你们在等候时,好好把自己整理一下,精神一些。 „And other that sides prepared, I meet you.” Professor McGonagall said that „when waits, please keeps quiet.” “等那边准备好了,我就来接你们。”麦格教授说,“等候时,请保持安静。” Then, Professor McGonagall left the room. 说完,麦格教授离开了房间。 The atmosphere in small room becomes tight, except for as Ryan of crossing over. Nearby Neville seems like trembling slightly. But the Hermione lip wriggles unceasingly, probably is reciting anything. After all in Britain, Hogwarts is the only magic school, really must drive out can be shame for a lifetime absolutely. 小房间里的气氛变得紧张起来,除了作为穿越者的莱恩。旁边的纳威看上去在微微发抖。而赫敏嘴唇不断蠕动,好像在背诵什么。毕竟在英国,霍格沃兹是唯一的魔法学校,真要被赶出去绝对会是一辈子的耻辱。 Ryan observed the situation, discovered that everyone is very anxious including wizard family background new student. It seems like this is an inherited practical joke. He cannot help but felt sorry for a sense of humor of English. 莱恩环视了一圈,发现包括巫师家庭出身的新生在内所有人都很紧张。看来这是一个祖传的恶作剧啊。他不由得可怜了一下英国人的幽默感。 When everyone is very anxious the later situation, on the back wall leaps up suddenly 20 spirits. These spirits have slid the entire room, rarely pays attention to these new first years. They are arguing anything probably. 正当大家都很紧张之后的情况时,背后的墙上突然蹿出二十来个幽灵。这些幽灵滑过整个房间,对这些一年级新生很少留意。他们好像在争论什么。 Suddenly they discovered new student probably, „new student!” A chubby member smiled to say toward them. „I think, is prepares to take the test probably?” 突然他们好像发现了新生,“新生哟!”一个胖乎乎的修士朝他们微笑说。“我想,大概是准备接受测试吧?” Some students nod silently. „Hopes that you can divide to Hufflepuff!” The member said that „before me, goes study that house.” „Now faces forward,” a high-pitched and fine sound said, „branch ceremony must start immediately.” 有些学生默默地点点头。“希望你们能分到赫奇帕奇!”修士说,“我以前就读那个学院。”“现在朝前动动吧,”一个尖细的声音说,“分院仪式马上就要开始了。” Professor McGonagall came back. The spirits flutter across opposite wall one after another disappear. „Now, the platoon becomes the single line,” Professor McGonagall said to new first years, „follows I to walk.” 麦格教授回来了。幽灵们鱼贯地飘飘荡荡穿过对面的墙壁不见了。“现在,排成单行,”麦格教授对一年级新生说,“跟着我走。” Across the entrance hall, the Great Hall gate opened, the new students lining up five of enters Great Hall, on four long tables chocks up the gold tableware, the table has many students, but each long table kept one, should leave new student. 穿过门厅,礼堂的门开了,新生们排成队伍进入礼堂,四条长长的桌子上摆满金色的餐具,桌边有很多学生,但是每张长桌都留出了一段,应该是留给新生的。 Ryan raised the head, looks to that ceiling marvelously, by the transparent vault, can see sky center point stars. It is difficult to believe here indeed not open-air. Tens of thousands of only lightened candle floats in in the air, illuminated entire Great Hall/restaurant, but no drop of wax oil, haze. Also demonstrated the mastery of uncommonness and school of these candles. 莱恩抬起头,看向那个奇迹般的天花板,透过透明的穹顶,可以看见天空中点点的繁星。很难让人相信这里的确不是露天的。成千上万只被点亮的蜡烛漂浮在空中,照亮了整个餐厅,而没有一滴蜡油,一丝烟气。也展示了这些蜡烛的不凡与学校的底蕴。 The Hermione’s sound conveys from side: „Here is bewitched, seems like with the outside sky is the same, I read in 《Hogwarts, A History》.” Professor McGonagall put four footstools toward new first years in front of gently, put an apex wizard hat toward the stool on. 赫敏的声音从旁边传来:“这里施过法术,看起来跟外边的天空一样,我在《霍格沃茨，一段校史》里读到过。”麦格教授往一年级新生面前轻轻放了一只四脚凳,又往凳子上放了一顶尖顶巫师帽。 This should pour into Sorting Hat of wisdom by four giants together, is one of the Hogwarts’ cornerstones, but said. Thinks this thing was used every year, had not actually been washed, Ryan felt own scalp is a little probably itchy. 这应该是被四巨头一起注入过智慧的分院帽吧,也是霍格沃茨的基石之一,不过说真的。一想到这个东西每年都被使用,却一直没有被洗过,莱恩就觉得自己头皮好像有点痒。 Quick, after listening to the every year song of hat, Professor McGonagall faced forward several steps, in the hand takes one volume of parchment. 很快,在听完帽子的每年一歌后,麦格教授朝前走了几步,手里拿着一卷羊皮纸。 Whose name I shout now, who puts on a hat, sits to the stool on, dawn period of five days branch. ” 我现在叫到谁的名字,谁就戴上帽子,坐到凳子上,昕候分院。” The climax of beginning school, the branch ceremony started. 开学的重头戏,分院仪式开始了。
