continued
as though she hadn’t heard him.
continue /kən'tɪnjuː/ v. 继续说

‘We don’t have to worry about that yet, though, because we add those bits last …’

69
‘How long will it take to make, anyway?’ said Harry, as Hermione, looking happier, opened the book again.
70
‘Well, as the

full steam ahead
, I say.’
full steam ahead 全速前进
73

hassle
if you can just knock Malfoy off his broom tomorrow.’

pep talk
.

As they walked out onto the pitch, a roar of noise
greeted
them;

95
‘All right there, Scarhead?’ yelled Malfoy, shooting underneath him as though to show off the speed of his broom.

along behind him.

as many people as possible …

after him once more and Harry was

to
zero.’

jobs
, and meanwhile the mad Bludger was doing all it could to knock Harry out of the air.
superior /suːˈpɪəriə(r)/ adj. 优秀的
job /dʒɒb/ n. 职责

arms and had no chance to look for the Snitch,
let alone
catch it.

inquiry
–’

‘All right,’ he said. ‘Fred, George, you heard Harry – leave him alone and let him deal with the Bludger on his own.’

He could hear laughter from the crowd; he knew he must look very stupid, but the rogue Bludger was
heavy
and couldn’t change direction as quickly as he could.
heavy /'hevɪ/ adj. 重的
133
He began a kind of
roller-coaster
ride around the edges of the stadium, squinting through the silver
sheets
of rain to the Gryffindor goalposts, where Adrian Pucey was trying to get past Wood …

sheet /ʃiːt/ n. (雨或火)一大片
134
A whistling in Harry’s ear told him the Bludger had just missed him again; he turned right over and sped in the opposite direction.
135
‘Training for the
ballet
, Potter?’ yelled Malfoy, as Harry was forced to do a stupid kind of
twirl
in mid-air to dodge the Bludger.
ballet /ˈbæleɪ/ n. 芭蕾舞
twirl /twɜːl/ n. 旋转

It was hovering inches above Malfoy’s left ear – and Malfoy, busy laughing at Harry, hadn’t seen it.

For an
agonising
moment, Harry hung in mid-air, not daring to speed towards Malfoy in case he looked up and saw the Snitch.

He had stayed still a second too long. The Bludger had hit him at last, smashed into his elbow, and Harry felt his arm break.
141
Dimly,
dazed
by the
searing
pain in his arm, he slid sideways on his rain-drenched broom, one knee still
crooked
over it, his right arm dangling
useless
at his side.

at his face.

snatch;

he felt his fingers close on the cold Snitch but was now only gripping the broom with his legs and there was a yell from the crowd below as he headed straight for the ground, trying hard not to
pass out
.
pass out 昏倒
148
With a splattering
thud
he hit the mud and rolled off his broom. His arm was hanging at a very strange angle.

with pain, he heard, as though from a
distance

of teeth.

153
‘Oh no, not you,’ he moaned.
154
‘Doesn’t know what he’s saying,’ said Lockhart loudly, to the anxious crowd of Gryffindors pressing around them. ‘Not to worry, Harry. I’m about to fix your arm.’
155
‘No!’ said Harry. ‘I’ll keep it like this, thanks …’
156
He tried to sit up, but the pain was
terrible
. He heard a familiar
clicking
noise nearby.

teeth.

sleeves.

‘No – don’t –’ said Harry weakly, but Lockhart was
twirling
his wand and a second later had directed it straight at Harry’s arm.
twirl /twɜːl/ vt. & vi.(使)快速旋转
164
A strange and unpleasant
sensation
started at Harry’s shoulder and

all the way down to his
fingertips
. It felt as though his arm was being
deflated

away
madly.

bear in mind
.

up to the Hospital Wing – ah, Mr Weasley, Miss Granger, would you

you up a bit.’

Madam Pomfrey wasn’t at all pleased.

, throwing Harry a pair of pyjamas. ‘You’ll have to stay the night …’

177
Hermione waited outside the curtain drawn around Harry’s bed while Ron helped him into his
pyjamas
. It took a while to stuff the rubbery, boneless arm into a sleeve.

178
‘How can you
stick up
for Lockhart now, Hermione, eh?’ Ron called through the curtain as he pulled Harry’s limp fingers through the
cuff
. ‘If Harry had wanted de-boning he would have asked.’
stick up 支持
cuff /kʌf/ n. 袖口
179
‘Anyone can make a mistake,’ said Hermione, ‘And it doesn’t hurt any more, does it, Harry?’
180
‘No,’ said Harry, ‘but it doesn’t do anything else, either.’
181
As he swung himself onto the bed, his arm
flapped
pointlessly
.
flap /flæp/ v. 摆动

182
Hermione and Madam Pomfrey came around the curtain. Madam Pomfrey was holding a large bottle of something labelled ‘
Skele-Gro
’.

183
‘You’re in for a
rough
night,’ she said, pouring out a
steaming
beakerful
and handing it to him. ‘Regrowing bones is a

So was taking the Skele-Gro. It burned Harry’s mouth and throat as it went down, making him cough and
splutter
.

Still
tut-tutting
about dangerous sports and

‘We won, though,’ said Ron, a grin breaking across his face. ‘That was some catch you made. Malfoy’s face … he looked ready to kill!’
187
‘I want to know how he fixed that Bludger,’ said Hermione darkly.
188
‘We can add that to the list of questions we’ll ask him when we’ve taken the Polyjuice Potion,’ said Harry, sinking back onto his pillows. ‘I hope it tastes better than this stuff …’
189
‘If it’s got bits of Slytherins in it? You’ve got to be joking,’ said Ron.
190
The door of the hospital wing burst open at that moment.
Filthy
and
soaking
wet
, the rest of the Gryffindor team had arrived to see Harry.

soaking /ˈsəʊkɪŋ/ adj. 湿透的

‘Unbelievable flying, Harry,’ said George. ‘I’ve just seen Marcus Flint yelling at Malfoy. Something about having the Snitch on top of his head and not noticing. Malfoy didn’t seem too happy.’
192
They had brought cakes, sweets and bottles of pumpkin juice;
193
they gathered around Harry’s bed and were just getting started on what
promised
to be a good party when Madam Pomfrey came
storming
over, shouting,
promise /'prɒmɪs/ vt. 承诺
storm /stɔːm/ vi. 突然袭击
194
‘This boy needs rest, he’s got thirty-three bones to regrow! Out! OUT!’
195
And Harry was left alone, with nothing to distract him from the
stabbing
pains in his limp arm.
stabbing /'stæbɪŋ/ adj. (尤指疼痛)有如刀割的
196
Hours and hours later, Harry woke quite suddenly in the

of pain: his arm now felt full of large
splinters
.

his forehead in the dark.

The house-elf’s
goggling
tennis-ball eyes were
peering
at Harry through the darkness. A single tear was running down his long, pointed nose.
