趣味英语第75期:怎么在霍格沃茨学校换学院

Miriam I wants to know:

Miriam I想知道：

"How can I change my house in Hogwarts? I'm a Slytherin."

“我怎么在霍格沃茨学校换学院？现在我在斯莱特林学院。”

I don't speak nerd. I dunno what this means! (laughs)

我不能瞎说。我不知道这是什么意思！（笑）

I do not know what Hogwarts or a Slytherin is. I mean, is that like a Romulan?

我不知道霍格沃茨和斯莱特林是什么。我想问，是不是和罗慕伦差不多？

I really don't know 'cause I have only watched one movie!

我真的不知道，因为我只看过一部《哈利·波特》电影！

Don't do anything bad and you might get switched.

不要做任何坏事，否则你可能会被换掉的。

Get onto the good side. Don't follow Voldemort.

用好的方式去做。不要像伏地魔那样。

Could you do a magic spell, or could you have someone come in and wave their wand so you had a new house?

你能施个咒语，或是找人来挥动魔杖吗？这样你就能有个新学院了。

Stop being an (bleep). You might get to a good house, but right now you're a Slytherin, all right? Stop being an (bleep).

不要再想了。你可能会去一个好学院，可是现在你是一个斯莱特林，好吗？不要再想了。

Why don't you try to change it from within? Show up, put your best foot forward, and see if you can change the culture!

你为什么不尝试从内部进行改变呢？展示出来，全力以赴，看看你是否能改变文化！

Send Dumbledore a letter and ask him, "Hey, um, my name's Miriam and I want to change my house."

给邓布利多写封信，问他：“嘿，我的名字叫Miriam，我想换学院。”

I'm not the biggest Potter Head, so I don't know the exact rules, but if it's like college, you know, talk to your counselor¹ and switch your major, bro.

我并不是《哈利·波特》迷，所以我不知道准确的规定，如果和大学差不多，那你可以和你的辅导员谈谈，换个专业。

So am I! I was really upset about that. (laughs) Should I accept our fate? I mean, they're not all bad. Draco Malfoy, even though he was so stupid and screwed everything up, there has been hints that he was good the entire time.

我也是！我对此感到非常沮丧。（笑）我应该接受命运吗？他们并不是那么坏。虽然德拉科·马尔福很蠢，而且把一切都搞砸了，不过有迹象表明他一直是好人。

You kinda can't because the choosing hat chooses that for you. So if you're a Slytherin, you're always gonna be a Slytherin and that's not bad. Slytherins are great.

你不能，因为那是分院帽为你选择的。所以，如果你是一个斯莱特林，那你就一直是斯莱特林，这并不坏。斯莱特林很棒。

You should embrace your house. You know, destiny² chose Slytherin for you. So I say just rock it. You know, you should just own it. Be like, "I'm a (bleep) Slytherin and I (bleep) love my house!"

你应该接受你的学院。你知道，是命运为你选了斯莱特林学院。我建议你尽情享受。你应该掌控一切。“我是斯莱特林，我喜爱我的学院！”
