It was the best practice ever;
这是最好的一次训练。
the team, inspired by the presence of the Firebolt in their midst, performed their best moves faultlessly,
队员们由于火弩箭在他们中的出现而倍受鼓舞，便使出浑身解数，无懈可击。
and by the time they hit the ground again, Wood didn't have a single criticism to make,
等到大家都回到地面的时候，伍德半句批评也没有。
which, as George Weasley pointed out, was a first.
乔治韦斯莱指出，这可是从来没有的事。
'I can't see what's going to stop us tomorrow!' said Wood. 'Not unless — Harry, you've sorted your Dementor problem, haven't you?'
“我想明天什么也阻挡不了我们！”伍德说，“除非——哈利，你已经解决了摄魂怪给你的麻烦，是不是？”
'Yeah,' said Harry, thinking of his feeble Patronus and wishing it was stronger.
“是。”哈利说，想到他的软弱的守护神，心里但愿它能强大一点儿。
'The Dementors won't turn up again, Oliver, Dumbledore'd do his nut,' said Fred confidently.
“摄魂怪不会出现了，奥利弗，邓布利多解决了这个难题了。”弗雷德有信心地说。
'Well, let's hope not,' said Wood. 'Anyway — good work, everyone. Let's get back to the Tower — turn in early ...'
“好吧，但愿它们不出现。”伍德说，“不管怎么样——大家好好努力，加油。让我们回楼去吧……早回去……”
'I'm staying out for a bit, Ron wants a go on the Firebolt,' Harry told Wood,
“我等一等再回去，罗恩要骑一下火弩箭。”哈利告诉伍德。
and while the rest of the team headed off to the changing rooms,

Harry strode over to Ron, who vaulted the barrier to the stands and came to meet him.

Madam Hooch had fallen asleep in her seat.
霍琦夫人已经在座位上睡着了。
'Here you go,' said Harry, handing Ron the Firebolt.
“来吧。”哈利说，把火弩箭交给了罗恩。
Ron, an expression of ecstasy on his face,
罗恩一脸狂喜地骑上扫帚，
mounted the broom and zoomed off into the gathering darkness while Harry walked around the edge of the pitch, watching him.
在渐浓的暮色中陡直上升，而哈利沿着球场边缘走着，看着他。
Night had fallen before Madam Hooch awoke with a start,
霍琦夫人惊醒过来的时候，夜暮已经降临，
told Harry and Ron off for not waking her, and insisted that they go back to the castle.
她责备哈利和罗恩没有叫醒她，并且坚持要他们回到城堡去。
Harry shouldered the Firebolt and he and Ron walked out of the shadowy stadium,
哈利扛着火弩箭，和罗恩两人走出暮色四合的看台，
discussing the Firebolt's superbly smooth action, its phenomenal acceleration and its pinpoint turning.
一路讨论着火弩箭极其平滑的动作、出众的加速和拐弯时的精确性。
