"I think the Chamber has been locked for good this time. The culprit must have known it was only a matter of time before I caught him. Rather sensible to stop now, before I came down hard on him.
“我认为密室这次是永远不会被打开了。那些罪犯肯定已经知道，我迟早都会抓住他们的，只是一个时间问题。趁我还没有开始收拾他们，现在罢手是明智的。
You know, what the school needs now is a morale-booster. Wash away the memories of last term! I won't say any more just now, but I think I know just the thing..." He tapped his nose again and strode off.
“你知道，现在学校里需要鼓舞鼓舞士气。消除记忆里上学期的那些事情！我现在不便多说，但我认为我是胸有成竹的……”他又敲了敲他的鼻子，迈着大步走开了。
Lockhart's idea of a morale-booster became clear at breakfast time on February fourteenth. Harry hadn't had much sleep because of a late-running Quidditch practice the night before, and he hurried down to the Great Hall, slightly late. He thought, for a moment, that he'd walked through the wrong doors.
二月十四日吃早饭的时候，大家便知道洛哈特是用什么办法鼓舞士气了。哈利前一天晚上训练魁地奇，一直练到很晚，所以睡眠不足，匆匆赶到礼堂时已经有点儿晚了。一时间，他还以为自己走错了门。
The walls were all covered with large, lurid pink flowers. Worse still, heart-shaped confetti was falling from the pale blue ceiling. Harry went over to the Gryffindor table, where Ron was sitting looking sickened, and and Hermione seemed to have come over rather giggly.
四面墙上都布满了大朵大朵的耀眼的粉红色鲜花。更糟糕的是，还有许多心形的五彩纸屑不停地从浅蓝色的天花板上飘落下来。哈利朝着格兰芬多的餐桌走去，罗恩坐在那里，一脸厌恶的表情，赫敏似乎一直在傻笑。
What's going on? Harry asked them, sitting down and wiping confetti off his bacon.
“这是怎么回事？”哈利问他们，一边坐下来，拂去落在他的熏咸肉上的五彩纸屑。
Ron pointed to the teachers' table, apparently too disgusted to speak. Lockhart, wearing lurid pink robes to match the decorations, was waving for silence. The teachers on either side of him were looking stony-faced. From where he sat, Harry could see a muscle going in Professor McGonagall's cheek. Snape looked as though so meone had just fed him a large beaker of Skele-Gro.
罗恩指着教师的餐桌，显然是厌恶得不想说话。洛哈特穿着与那些装饰品相配的鲜艳的粉红色长袍，挥着手让大家安静。坐在他对面的老师们一个个都板着脸。哈利从他坐的地方可以看见，麦格教授面颊上的一块肌肉突了起来。斯内普的样子，就好像有人刚给他灌了一大杯烈性酒。
