“你们大家肯定都知道，霍格沃茨学校是一千多年前创办的，具体日期不太确定——创办者是当时最伟大的四个男女巫师。
The four school Houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin.
四个学院就是以他们的名字命名的：戈德里克格兰芬多，赫尔加赫奇帕奇，罗伊纳拉文克劳和萨拉查斯莱特林。
They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution.”
他们共同建造了这座城堡，远离麻瓜们窥视的目光，因为在当时那个年代，老百姓们害怕魔法，男女巫师遭到很多迫害。”

“开头几年，几个创办者一起和谐地工作，四处寻找显露出魔法苗头的年轻人，把他们带到城堡里好好培养。
But then disagreements sprang up between them.
可是，慢慢地他们之间就有了分歧。
A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others.
斯莱特林和其他人之间的裂痕越来越大。
Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts.
斯莱特林希望霍格沃茨招收学生时更挑剔一些。
