Wizarding Schools

巫师学校

The number of countries that have their own magical school is minuscule compared to those that do not. This is because the wizarding populations of most countries choose the option of home schooling. Occasionally, too, the magical community in a given country is tiny or far-flung and correspondence courses have been found a more cost-effective means of educating the young.

有巫师学校的国家远少于没有巫师学校的国家。这是因为在大多数国家中巫师们更习惯家族式教育。有些时候，在一个特定的国家，巫师聚集地是极小或者极度偏远的，对于年轻巫师来说，更有效的受教育方式是函授课程。

There are eleven long-established and prestigious wizarding schools worldwide, all of which are registered with the International Confederation of Wizards. Smaller and less well-regulated institutions have come and gone, are difficult to keep track of, and are rarely registered with the appropriate Ministry (in which case, I cannot vouch for the standard of education they might offer). Anyone wishing to know whether there is an approved magical school in their region should address an owl enquiry to the International Confederation of Wizards, Educational Office.

在世界各地共有十一个历史悠久的魔法学校，这些学校均在国际巫师联合会注册登记。一些小型的、没有监管的教学机构大多很快消亡，它们难以被追踪，很少在相关部门登记（因为这个原因，它们提供的教育水平也得不到担保）。任何想了解当地是否有正规魔法学校的人，都应该用猫头鹰给国际巫师联合会送信询问相关问题。

The precise location of each of the following schools is a closely guarded secret. The schools fear not only Muggle persecution, for it is a sad fact that at various times in their long histories, all of these institutions have been buffeted by the effects of wizard wars, and of hostile attention from both the foreign and domestic magical communities (it is not only in Britain that the education of magical youth has been subject to Ministry interference or pressure). As a general rule, magical schools tend to be situated in landlocked, mountainous areas (although there are notable exceptions, as will be seen), as such regions are difficult for Muggles to access, and easier to defend from Dark wizards.

每一所魔法学校的具体位置都是严格保密的。学校不仅需要担心来自麻瓜的迫害，并且令人悲伤的是在悠久的历史中，这些学校都会受到巫师战争的波及，满怀敌意的目光从全球巫师聚落而来（不仅仅是英国，全球各地的青年巫师教育都会有外界干扰和压力）。一般来说，魔法学校大多位于深处内陆的山区中（当然，如我们所见也有例外），因为这些地方麻瓜往往难以到达，同时也更容易抵御黑巫师。
