　　[5]'Today we will be mixing a potion that often comes up at Ordinary Wizarding Level: the Draught of Peace, a potion to calm anxiety and soothe agitation. Be warned: if you are too heavy-handed with the ingredients you will put the drinker into a heavy and sometimes irreversible sleep, so you will need to pay close attention to what you are doing.'

　　“今天，我们要配制一种普通巫师等级考试中经常出现的药剂：缓和剂，它能平息和舒缓烦躁焦虑的情绪。注意：如果放配料的时候马马虎虎，就会使服药者陷入一种死沉的，有时甚至是不可逆转的昏睡，所以你们需要格外注意自己的行为。”

　　[6]"The ingredients and method - ' Snape flicked his wand ' - are on the blackboard - (they appeared there) ' - you will find everything you need - ' he flicked his wand again ' - in the store cupboard - ' (the door of the said cupboard sprang open) ' - you have an hour and a half . . . start.'

　　“配料和配制方法——”斯内普一挥魔杖，“——在黑板上——”（黑板上果然出现了）“——你们所需要的一切——”他又一挥魔杖，“——在储藏柜里——”（他所说的那个储藏柜的门一下子打开了）“——你们有一个半小时……开始吧。”

　　[7]'A light silver vapour should now be rising from your potion,' called Snape, with ten minutes left to go.

　　“你们的药剂现在应该冒出一股淡淡的、银白色的蒸气。”还剩十分钟的时候斯内普说道。

　　[8]'Potter, what is this supposed to be?'

　　“波特，这是什么东西？”

　　[9]'Tell me, Potter,' said Snape softly, 'can you read?'

　　“波特，告诉我，”斯内普轻声细语地说，“你认识字吗？”

　　[10]'Read the third line of the instructions for me, Potter.'

　　“把操作说明的第三行念给我听听，波特。”

　　[11] 'Did you do everything on the third line, Potter?'

　　“第三条里每一项你都做到了吗，波特？”
