场景

McGonagall: Good evening. Nothing, I repeat, nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. Therefore as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken.
麦克格兰格：晚上好，我再次重申一遍，学生绝对没有权利晚上在学校里闲逛，任何情况都不准许，所以要扣掉你们50个学分，以示惩罚。
Harry: 50!
哈利：50个学分？
McGonagall: Each. And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all four Of you will receive detention.
麦克格兰格：每个人都一样，为了防止此类情况再次发生，还要关你们四个人的禁闭。
Malfoy: Excuse me! Professor. Perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said the four of us.
马佛伊：对不起，老师。我是不是听错了，您刚才说的是四个人吗？
McGonagall: No you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, honorable as your intentions were, you, too, were out of bed after hours. You will join your classmates in detention.
麦克格兰格：不，你没有听错，马佛伊先生。尽管你的出发点是正确的，但是你同样没有按规定就寝，所以你不得不和你的学生一起去关禁闭。

Filch: A pity they let the Old punishments die. Was a time detention was found you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons. God, I'll miss the screaming. You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight. He's got a little job to do inside the Dark Forest. A sorry lot, this, Hagrid. Oh good God, man, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?
费儿奇：真遗憾那些老式的惩罚被他们废止了。曾经有段时间关禁闭的时候他们会被绑着手指吊在地牢里。上帝啊，我真怀念那些尖叫。你们今天晚上将和海格瑞德一起关禁闭。他要在黑森林里干点事，真是抱歉啊，这个海格瑞德！你们还在谈论那个血淋淋的龙，是吗？
Hagrid: Norbert's gone. Dumbledore sent him off to Romania to live in a colony.
海格瑞德：诺伯特走了。邓伯伦把他送到罗马尼亚的殖民地去了。
Hermione: well, that's good, isn't it? He'll be with his own kind.
费儿奇：那不挺好的，它又能和它的同类在一起了。
Hagrid: Yeah, but what if he don't like Romania? What the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby after all.
海格瑞德：可是如果他不喜欢那里呢？如果那些老龙对它太凶呢？它还是很小呢！
Filch: Oh, for God's sake, pull yourself together, man. You're going into the Forest after all. Got to have your wits about you.
费儿奇：哎，看在老天爷的份上，振作起来吧，你不是又要到森林里去了吗，冷静点。
Maltoy: The Forest? I thought that was a joke. We can't go in there. Students aren't allowed. And there are. werewolves!
马佛伊：森林？我以为是在开玩笑呢，我们不能去那里。学生是 不准去的，那里面有……狼人！
Filch: Ah, there's more than werewolves in those trees, lad. You can be sure of that. Nighty-night.
费儿奇：啊，不仅有狼人，小家伙！那是肯定的。晚安！
Hagrid: Right, let's go.
海格瑞德：好的，走吧。
