火焰杯

　　[40]"So I give you fair warning, Potter," Snape continued in a sorter and more dangerous voice, "pint-sized celebrity or not - if I catch you breaking into my office one more time -"

　　“因此，我要给你一个善意的警告，波特，”斯内普用更轻柔也更阴险的声音说，“尽管你小有名气——如果我再发现你闯进我的办公室——”

　　[41]"Don't lie to me," Snape hissed, his fathomless black eyes boring into Harrys. "Boomslang skin. Gillyweed. Both come from my private stores, and I know who stole them."“别对我撒谎，”斯内普压低声音说，那双深不可测的黑眼睛狠狠地瞪着哈利的眼睛，“非洲树蛇皮，鳃囊草，这两样都是我的私人储藏品，我知道是谁偷的。”

　　[42]"You were out of bed on the night my office was broken into!" Snape hissed. "I know it.Potter! Now, Mad-Eye Moody might have joined your fan club, but I will not tolerate your behavior! One more nighttime stroll into my office, Potter, and you will pay!"

　　“有人闯进我办公室的那天夜里，你不在自己的床上！”斯内普嘶嘶地说，“这瞒不过我，波特！不错，疯眼汉穆迪大概也参加了你的追星俱乐部，但我再也不会容忍你的行为了！如果你再半夜三更溜进我的办公室，波特，你就等着瞧吧！”

　　[43]"Do you know what this is. Potter?" Snape said, his eyes glittering dangerously again.

　　“你知道这是什么吗，波特？”斯内普说，那双眼睛里又闪着恶意的光芒。

　　[44]"It is Veritaserum - a Truth Potion so powerful that three drops would have you spilling your innermost secrets for this entire class to hear," said Snape viciously. "Now, the use of this potion is controlled by very strict Ministry guidelines. But unless you watch your step, you might just find that my hand slips" - he shook the crystal bottle slightly - "right over your evening pumpkin juice. And then. Potter . . . then we'll find out whether you've been in my office or not."

　　“这是吐真剂——一种教你说实话的药剂，效果奇强，只要三滴，就能使你透露出内心深处的秘密，让全体同学洗耳恭听。”斯内普恶狠狠地说，“当然，对这种药剂的使用，魔法部有十分严格的规定加以控制。但是你必须格外留神，不然我就会失手，”——他微微摇晃着水晶瓶——“倒在你晚餐的南瓜汁里。然后，波特……然后我们就会弄清你究竟去没去过我的办公室。”
