【斯莱特林欢迎词】官方

发现好像没有这个的翻译啊.....
加入斯莱特林时官方的欢迎词，自己渣翻了一下
感觉还是解析斯莱特林非常清楚的，能减少很多人的误解
因为是渣翻所以有语句不太通顺的qaq
于是原文也在下面，大家可以自己看看原文理解一下qwq

——————————废话结束——————————

祝贺你！我是Prefect Gemma Farley，欢迎你来到斯莱特林学院，我非常高兴你的加入。我们的标志是蛇，最聪明的生物；我们的学院颜色是翠绿色和银色，我们的休息室藏在地下的一个隐蔽的入口后面。你可以看到从它的窗户向外望去霍格沃茨湖的深处。我们经常看到巨型乌贼swooshing——或者有时看到更有趣的动物。我们喜欢认为我们的住处环绕着神秘的气氛，就像水下沉船。

现在，这里有一些你应该知道的关于斯莱特林的事情，还有一些你应该忘记的事情。首先，让我们消除一些污蔑的传言。你可能听说过斯莱特林学院的谣言——我们都是黑暗的创作品，或者如果你的曾祖父是一个著名的巫师—当然是黑魔法师—别人才会和你交谈甚欢。好吧，你不想相信一切这些你来从竞争对手学院听来的话。我不是否认我们学院曾出现了黑巫师，但是其他三个学院也一样，他们只是不愿意承认。是的，我们传统上倾向于带着纯净血统的学生，但是现在你会发现斯莱特林里有很多人，他们至少有一个麻瓜家长。

这里有一个鲜为人知的事实，其他三所学院并没有提到多少：梅林是斯莱特林。是的，梅林，历史上最著名的巫师！他在这所学院里学到了他所知道的一切！你想追随梅林的脚步吗？或者你更愿意坐在那显赫的前赫奇帕奇学生Eglantine Puffett——自动清洗抹布的发明者的旧桌子旁？
我不这么认为。

好了，我已经谈够我们不是什么了。让我们谈谈我们是什么，我们是这个学校最孤傲冷漠、易怒的学院。我们打球是为了取胜，因为我们关心斯莱特林的荣誉和传统。

但我们也尊重我们的学生。是的，由于我们的黑暗名声有些人可能会恐惧，但是你知道吗？它可以是有趣的，有着任性的一面。给你几个提示，你可以翻遍整个图书馆的恶咒，只为了看是否有人想偷你的铅笔盒。

我们不是坏人。我们就像我们的标志——蛇：圆滑，强大，经常被误解。

例如，我们能打理好自己–—远远超过拉文克劳。除此之外，我们是你见过最大一群刻苦钻研的人，拉文克劳以攀越彼此取得好成绩，而我们斯莱特林是兄弟。在霍格沃茨走廊上你会看到一些意外的惊喜，你会很高兴当你在学校漫步时有蛇相伴。就我们而言，当你变成了一条蛇，你就是我们的一员——精英之一。

你知道萨拉查·斯莱特林在他选中的学生中寻找什么吗？伟大的种子。你被这所学院选中了，因为你有潜力成为最好的，并诠释这个词的真正意义。好吧，你可能会看到一些人在公共休息室闲逛，你可能不认为他们注定要做什么特别的事情。好，让这个问题烂在心里吧。你可别忘了，如果分院帽把他们放在这里，他们一定有自己的了不起之处。

然后我们来讨论一些注定不伟大的人吧——我一直没有提到的格兰芬多。现在，很多人说斯莱特林和格兰芬多是一个硬币的两面。就我个人而言，我认为格兰芬多无非是在努力赶超他们崇拜的斯莱特林。请注意，有人说萨拉查·斯莱特林和戈德里克·格兰芬多欣赏同一类型的学生，所以我们或许比我们想的更相似。但这并不意味着我们和格兰芬多相处愉快。他们喜欢打败我们，只比我们喜欢打败他们少一些。

还有几件事你可能需要知道：我们的学院里的幽灵是血人巴罗。如果你站在正确的一边，他有时会同意为你吓唬别人。别问他怎么浑身血污，他不喜欢提到这个。

休息室的密码每两周更换一次。注意布告牌。不要把任何人从另一个学院带到我们的休息室或告诉他们我们的密码。七个世纪以来，从没有外人进来。

嗯，我想现在就这些了。我相信你会喜欢我们宿舍的。我们睡在古老的四张大幅挂画和绿色丝绸帷幔之间，床罩用银线绣花。描绘著名斯莱特林勇敢冒险的中世纪挂毯覆盖墙壁，天花板上挂着银色的挂灯。你会睡得很好，它非常舒适柔软，你可以倾听着湖水在夜晚拍打着窗户的声音入睡。

Slytherin Welcome Message
By J.K. Rowling

Congratulations! I’m Prefect Gemma Farley, and I’m delighted to welcome you to SLYTHERIN HOUSE. Our emblem is the serpent, the wisest of creatures; our house colours are emerald green and silver, and our common room lies behind a concealed entrance down in the dungeons. As you’ll see, its windows look out into the depths of the Hogwarts lake. We often see the giant squid swooshing by – and sometimes more interesting creatures. We like to feel that our hangout has the aura of a mysterious, underwater shipwreck.

Now, there are a few things you should know about Slytherin – and a few you should forget. Firstly, let’s dispel a few myths. You might have heard rumours about Slytherin house – that we’re all into the Dark Arts, and will only talk to you if your great-grandfather was a famous wizard, and rubbish like that. Well, you don’t want to believe everything you hear from competing houses. I’m not denying that we’ve produced our share of Dark wizards, but so have the other three houses – they just don’t like admitting it. And yes, we have traditionally tended to take students who come from long lines of witches and wizards, but nowadays you’ll find plenty of people in Slytherin house who have at least one Muggle parent.
Here’s a little-known fact that the other three houses don’t bring up much: Merlin was a Slytherin. Yes, Merlin himself, the most famous wizard in history! He learned all he knew in this very house! Do you want to follow in the footsteps of Merlin? Or would you rather sit at the old desk of that illustrious ex-Hufflepuff, Eglantine Puffett, inventor of the Self-Soaping Dishcloth?
I didn’t think so.

But that’s enough about what we’re not. Let’s talk about what we are, which is the coolest and edgiest house in this school. We play to win, because we care about the honour and traditions of Slytherin.

We also get respect from our fellow students. Yes, some of that respect might be tinged with fear, because of our Dark reputation, but you know what? It can be fun, having a reputation for walking on the wild side. Chuck out a few hints that you’ve got access to a whole library of curses, and see whether anyone feels like nicking your pencil case.

But we’re not bad people. We’re like our emblem, the snake: sleek, powerful, and frequently misunderstood.

For instance, we Slytherins look after our own – which is more than you can say for Ravenclaw. Apart from being the biggest bunch of swots you ever met, Ravenclaws are famous for clambering over each other to get good marks, whereas we Slytherins are brothers. The corridors of Hogwarts can throw up surprises for the unwary, and you’ll be glad you’ve got the Serpents on your side as you move around the school. As far as we’re concerned, once you’ve become a snake, you’re one of ours – one of the elite.

Because you know what Salazar Slytherin looked for in his chosen students? The seeds of greatness. You’ve been chosen by this house because you’ve got the potential to be great, in the true sense of the word. All right, you might see a couple of people hanging around the common room whom you might not think are destined for anything special. Well, keep that to yourself. If the Sorting Hat put them in here, there’s something great about them, and don’t you forget it.

And talking of people who aren’t destined for greatness, I haven’t mentioned the Gryffindors. Now, a lot of people say that Slytherins and Gryffindors represent two sides of the same coin. Personally, I think Gryffindors are nothing more than wannabe Slytherins. Mind you, some people say that Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor prized the same kinds of students, so perhaps we are more similar than we like to think. But that doesn’t mean that we cosy up with Gryffindors. They like beating us only slightly less than we like beating them.

A few more things you might need to know: our house ghost is the Bloody Baron. If you get on the right side of him he’ll sometimes agree to frighten people for you. Just don’t ask him how he got bloodstained; he doesn’t like it.

The password to the common room changes every fortnight. Keep an eye on the noticeboard. Never bring anyone from another house into our common room or tell them our password. No outsider has entered it for more than seven centuries.

Well, I think that’s all for now. I’m sure you’ll like our dormitories. We sleep in ancient four-posters with green silk hangings, and bedspreads embroidered with silver thread. Medieval tapestries depicting the adventures of famous Slytherins cover the walls, and silver lanterns hang from the ceilings. You’ll sleep well; it’s very soothing, listening to the lake water lapping against the windows at night.
