Book | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

12. 去村庄,不愉快,回程发现Katie拿着被诅咒的parcel

Harry had felt bolstered, comforted, and now he felt slightly abandoned. 鼓舞

whiled away the time until breakfast 消磨时间

He did not usually lie in bed reading his textbooks; that sort of behavior, as Ron rightly said, was indecent in anybody except Hermione, who was simply weird that way. 躺在床上看课本不适合Harry

The more Harry pored over the book, the more he realized how much was in there, not only the handy hints and shortcuts on potions

Harry felt a swooping sensation in his stomach. 心情变差

He was just wondering whether there was any chance that she had not noticed Ron, that she had merely left the room because the party was a little too rowdy 吵闹的

tinsel

garlands 花环 of holly and tinsel had been twisted around the banisters of the stairs 楼梯的扶栏

Ron’s voice trailed away in mutters, barely audible over the loud crackling of the fire, 他的声音变小

slip you a love potion 给你下药

the fact that she kept cropping up in his dreams 突然出现

“Well, just be careful what you drink, because Romilda Vane looked like she meant business.” 看起来她是认真的

Mind you return anything you have borrowed to the correct ...

“It isn’t the library’s, it’s mine!” said Harry hastily, snatching his copy of Advanced PotionMaking off the table as she lunged at it with a clawlike hand.

But his hopes were not high, 他没有抱太多希望

Ron retaliated by doing a cruel but accurate impression of Hermione jumping up and down in her seat every time Professor McGonagall asked a question, which Lavender and Parvati found deeply amusing and which reduced Hermione to the verge of tears again.

I wouldn’t chuck knives at them. 抛,投,掷:

dropped the subject of Ron and recounted all that he had overheard between Malfoy and Snape. 不提……的话题

They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty. In other words, they were the forerunners of the Death Eaters.

for Hermione still refused to remain in Ron’s presence longer than it took to give him a contemptuous look.

He did not linger over Ron’s cauldron, but backed away swiftly, retching slightly. 有点想吐

Hermione, who was sweatyfaced and had soot on her nose, looked livid. 非常生气的

‘And an extra ten points to Gryffindor for sheer cheek!’

Harry dawdled behind, taking an inordinate amount of time to do up his bag.

‘I tell my friends what I’m up to, if I want them to keep a lookout for me.” 帮我放风

Ernie Macmillan, on the other hand, had done a kind of pirouetting leap into his hoop

Ron did not answer; he was too busy unwrapping presents, every now and then letting out an exclamation of pleasure.
‘Seriously good haul this year!’ 礼物好多,大丰收!

‘Cool,’ muttered Harry, sparing the watch a glance before peering more closely at the map. 找空看了一眼

looking rather glum 闷闷不乐的

19. Harry太在意Draco的阴谋了,没有办好Dumbledore交代的任务,魁地奇还输了;终于拿到slughorn真正的记忆

There was a note of badly suppressed glee in Rons voice; Harry could tell he was nothing short of thrilled that McLaggen had messed up so badly.

Harry took the spiral staircase two steps at a time. 一次跨两步

“So this is the reason I am to be thrown unceremoniously from your office, Dumbledore!” 这就是你把我扔出你办公室的原因(约了harry)

“And you feel that you have exerted your very best efforts in this matter, do you? That you have exercised all of your considerable ingenuity? That you have left no depth of cunning unplumbed in your quest to retrieve the memory?”
你真的尽力了吗?

“May I hope, then, that you will give this matter higher priority from now on? 更加重视这件事情

“Didn’t I tell you I was distantly descended?

There upon the smooth crimson velvet lay a heavy golden locket.

Voldemort gazing at her locket, transfixed.

“I had to pay an arm and a leg for it,

“She was old, she admitted to having tampered with the drink, and nobody at the Ministry bothered to inquire further.

his face was, perhaps, a little less lined.

“Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies.

“Let us speak openly. Why have you come here tonight, surrounded by henchmen, to request a job we both know you do not want?”

“Malfoy already knew exactly how we were using the room, didn’t he, because that stupid Marietta had blabbed.

Ron was very subdued all through the class.

“I thought you lived in that girls’ bathroom?” said Harry, who had been careful to give the place a wide berth for some years now.

I came and saw you in your bath once, remember?”
“Vividly,” said Harry.

putting his bruised foot gingerly back on the floor.

he had most rashly invented his own potion, which had curdled

Ron came slouching into the room looking most morose.

He got to his feet, smiling, brimming with confidence.

“Well, I can’t promise that,” he said gruffly.

Dumbledore trusts Hagrid to the hilt,

He’s devastated. He wants company while he buries it and I said I’d go.”

his eyes were puffy, red, and swollen.

he’d bring some bottles so we can drink to Aragog’s memory…”

Harry thought privately that

Hagrid, becoming expansive under the influence

“Harry Potter!” bellowed Hagrid, slopping some of his fourteenth bucket of wine down his chin as he drained it.

warble the refrain.

“Oh,” said Slughorn, repressing a large belch.

“Don’t say that,” he whispered. “It isn’t a question … If it were to help you, of course . . . but no purpose can be served . . .”

Slughorn and Harry stared at each other over the guttering candle.

tears trickling down his fat cheeks into his walrus mustache.

with black, starstrewn skies beyond the windows.

“To what do I owe this very late pleasure?”

He could tell that Riddle wanted the information very, very much; perhaps had been working toward this moment for weeks.

listening in on their conversation. A corpulent, red nosed wizard had actually taken out an ear trumpet.

“While the Elixir of Life does indeed extend life, it must lie drunk regularly, for all eternity, if the drinker is to maintain the immortality.

The seventh part of his soul, however maimed, resides inside his regenerated body.

I might not have lived to tell the tale.

“However, we should not congratulate ourselves too heartily.

I have therefore trawled back through Voldemort’s past

By planting the diary upon Arthur Weasleys daughter, he hoped to discredit Arthur and get rid of a highly incriminating magical object in one stroke.

what with Voldemorts fury about the fact that he threw away the Horcrux for his own gain, and the fiasco at the Ministry last year,

“You are setting too much store by the prophecy!”

“But,” spluttered Harry, “but you said the prophecy means —“

If Voldemort had never murdered your father, would he have imparted in you a furious desire for revenge? Of course not! If he had not forced your mother to die for you, would he have given you a magical protection he could not penetrate? Of course not, Harry! Don’t you see? Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims,

there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back! Voldemort is no different! Always he was on the lookout for the one who would challenge him. He heard the prophecy and he leapt into action, with the result that he not only handpicked the man most likely to finish him, he handed him uniquely deadly weapons!”

striding about the room,

A flame seemed to leap inside his chest, searing his throat.

But the prophecy caused Lord Voldemort to mark you as his equal.

20. Harry和Jinny在一起拉

dandruff

they’ve been a bit rocky for ages.”

He could not help feeling that if they won by more than three hundred points, the scenes of euphoria and a nice loud aftermatch party might be just as good as a hearty swig of Felix Felicis. 畅饮

no matter how he reworded his request, the wall remained firmly doorless. 重新表述

“Don’t,” crooned Moaning Myrtle’s voice from one of the cubicles. 厕所的格子间

tears streaming down his pale face into the grimy basin 肮脏的洗手池

Malfoy wheeled around. 转身

he could not help but be overawed by what he was looking at.

Harry ran flat out toward the bathroom
竭尽全力,最高速地

But you can’t call that Sectumsempra spell good, Ginny, look where it’s landed him!
你看prince的课本把他害到什么地步

His lightheartedness was shortlived. There were Slytherin taunts to be endured next day, not to mention much anger from fellow Gryffindors,
喜悦是短暂的

Then several people wolfwhistled and there was an outbreak of nervous giggling.
