That was bloody brilliant!
真是太厉害了！
Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley.
多谢夸奖，韦斯莱先生。
Perhaps it'd be more usefully if I transfigured Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch.

We got lost.
我们迷路了。

There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class.
在我的课上不准乱挥愚蠢的魔杖，不准乱念愚蠢的咒语。
As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making.

However, for those select few who possess the predisposition I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses.

I can tell you how to bottle fame brew glory and even put a stopper in death.
我可以教你们如何罐藏名声，酿造荣誉，甚至长生不死。
Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession with abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention.
我还要重申，也许有人觉得在霍格沃茨仗着自己名气大就自信满满，觉得可以不专心听讲。
