原文及翻译
It winked. Harry stared. Then he looked quickly around to see if anyone was watching. They weren't. He looked back at the snake and winked, too. The snake jerked its head toward Uncle Vernon and Dudley, then raised its eyes to the ceiling. It gave Harry a look that said quite plainly: “I get that all the time.” “I know,” Harry murmured through the glass, though he wasn't sure the snake could hear him. “It must be really annoying.” The snake nodded vigorously. “Where do you come from, anyway?” Harry asked.
它眨了眨眼。哈利盯着。然后他迅速环顾四周，看看是否有人在看着他。他们没有。他回头看了看蛇，也使了个眼色。那条蛇猛地朝弗农姨父和达力的方向扭了扭脑袋，然后抬起眼睛望着天花板。它看了哈利一眼，显然在说:“我一直都是这么想的。“我知道。”哈利隔着玻璃喃喃地说，但他不确定那条蛇能不能听见。“那一定很烦人。”蛇使劲地点点头。“你到底是哪里人?”哈利问。
The snake jabbed its tail at a little sign next to the glass. Harry peered at it. Boa Constrictor, Brazil. “Was it nice there?” The boa constrictor jabbed its tail at the sign again and Harry read on: This specimen was bred in the zoo. “Oh, I see — so you've never been to Brazil?” As the snake shook its head, a deafening shout behind Harry made both of them jump. “DUDLEY! MR. DURSLEY! COME AND LOOK AT THIS SNAKE! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT'S DOING!” Dudley came waddling toward them as fast as he could. “Out of the way, you,” he said, punching Harry in the ribs.
蛇用尾巴戳玻璃旁边的小标志。哈利盯着它看。蟒蛇，产自巴西。“那里好吗?”那条大蟒蛇又用尾巴戳了戳那块牌子，哈利继续读下去:这个标本是在动物园里饲养的。“哦，我明白了——所以你从来没有去过巴西?”蛇摇了摇头，哈利身后传来震耳欲聋的叫声，两人都吓了一跳。“达德利!他忽然!快来看这条蛇!你不会相信它在做什么!”达力以最快的速度摇摇摆摆地朝他们走来。“让开，你。”他说着，在哈利的肋骨上打了一拳。
Caught by surprise, Harry fell hard on the concrete floor. What came next happened so fast no one saw how it happened — one second, Piers and Dudley were leaning right up close to the glass, the next, they had leapt back with howls of horror. Harry sat up and gasped; the glass front of the boa constrictor's tank had vanished. The great snake was uncoiling itself rapidly, slithering out onto the floor. People throughout the reptile house screamed and started running for the exits. As the snake slid swiftly past him, Harry could have sworn a low, hissing voice said, “Brazil, here I come… Thanksss, amigo.” The keeper of the reptile house was in shock.
哈利吓了一跳，重重地摔在水泥地上。接下来发生的事情发生得太快了，谁也不知道是怎么发生的——前一秒，皮尔斯和达力还紧贴着玻璃，下一秒，他们就惊恐地嚎叫着跳了回去。哈利坐起来，倒吸了一口气。大蟒蛇的水箱的玻璃门不见了。那条大蛇迅速展开身体，滑到地板上。整个爬行动物馆的人都尖叫起来，开始向出口跑去。当蛇迅速从他身边滑过时，哈利可以发誓，一个低沉、嘶嘶的声音说:“巴西，我来了……谢谢你，朋友。”爬行动物馆的饲养员震惊了。
