火焰杯

　　[37]"'. . . Harry Potter's well-wishers must hope that, next time, he bestows his heart upon a worthier candidate.' How very touching," sneered Snape, rolling up the magazine to continued gales of laughter from the Slytherins. "Well, I think I had better separate the three of you, so you can keep your minds on your potions rather than on your tangled love lives. Weasley, you stay here. Miss Granger, over there, beside Miss Parkinson.Potter - that table in front of my desk. Move. Now."

　　“……对哈利·波特存有良好愿望的人们希望，下次他再奉献真情时，一定要挑选一个更有价值的候选人。多么动人啊，”斯内普讥讽地说，一边在斯莱特林们的阵阵狂笑声中把杂志卷了起来，“哼，我认为最好把你们三个分开，这样你们就能集中思想配制药剂，而不是光想着这些乱七八糟的风流韵事了。韦斯莱，你坐在这里不动。格兰杰小姐，你上那儿去，坐在帕金森小姐旁边。波特——到我讲台前的那张桌子上去。好了，快行动吧。”

　　[38]"All this press attention seems to have inflated your already over-large head. Potter,"said Snape quietly, once the rest of the class had settled down again.

　　“你成了媒体关注的中心，这似乎使你本来就不小的脑袋更加膨胀了，波特。”班上其他同学都安静下来后，斯内普轻声说道。

　　[39]"You might be laboring under the delusion that the entire wizarding world is impressed with you," Snape went on, so quietly that no one else could hear him (Harry continued to pound his scarab beetles, even though he had already reduced them to a very fine powder), "but I don't care how many times your picture appears in the papers. To me. Potter, you are nothing but a nasty little boy who considers rules to be beneath him."

　　“你大概想当然地以为，整个魔法界都在为你惊叹，”斯内普继续说道，他的声音很轻，其他同学都听不见（哈利只管捣他的圣甲虫，尽管它们已经被碾成了细细的粉末），“但是我才不关心你的照片在报纸上出现多少次呢。在我眼里，波特，你不过是一个讨厌的小男孩，可你却觉得自己可以无视所有的规章制度。”
