原文及翻译
They stepped through the archway. Harry looked quickly over his shoulder and saw the archway shrink instantly back into solid wall. The sun shone brightly on a stack of cauldrons outside the nearest shop. "Cauldrons— All Sizes-Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver— Self-Stirring—Collapsible" said a sign hanging over them. "Yeah, you'll be needin' one," said Hagrid, "but we gotta get your money first."
他们穿过拱门。哈利迅速回头一看，发现拱门瞬间缩回了实心墙。阳光照耀在最近的商店外的一堆坩埚上。挂在他们上方的牌子上写着：坩埚，各种尺寸。铜、黄铜、锡、银，自动搅拌、可折叠。“是的，你需要这个，”海格说，“但我们得先去取你的钱。”
Harry wished he had about eight more eyes. He turned his head in every direction as they walked up the street, trying to look at everything at once: the shops, the things outside them, the people doing their shopping. A plump woman outside an Apothecary was shaking her head as they passed, saying, "Dragon liver, seventeen Sickles an ounce, they're mad...."
哈利真希望自己能有八只眼睛。他们走在街上时，他把头转向四面八方，试图同时看清所有的东西：商店、商店外面的东西、购物的人。他们经过一家药剂师店时，一位胖女人摇着头说：“龙肝，每盎司十七西可……”
A low, soft hooting came from a dark shop with a sign saying Eeylops Owl Emporium——Tawny, Screech, Barn, Brown, and Snowy. Several boys of about Harry's age had their noses pressed against a window with broomsticks in it. "Look," Harry heard one of them say, "the new Nimbus Two Thousand—fastest ever—"
一家黑漆漆的商店里传来一声低沉而柔和的叫声，招牌上写着“猫头鹰专卖店——黄褐鸮、角鸮、仓鸮、棕鸮和雪鸮。”几个和哈利差不多大的男孩把鼻子贴在一扇放着扫帚的窗户上。“看，”哈利听到其中一个男孩说，“新的光轮2000，它可是有史以来最快——”
There were shops selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments Harry had never seen before, windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels' eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills, and rolls of parchment, potion bottles, globes of the moon....
有商店卖长袍，有商店卖望远镜和哈利从未见过的奇怪的银器，橱窗里堆满了一桶桶的蝙蝠脾脏和鳗鱼眼，还有摇摇欲坠的咒语书、羽毛笔、羊皮纸卷、魔药瓶、月球仪……
"Gringotts," said Hagrid. They had reached a snowy white building that towered over the other little shops. Standing beside its burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold, was - "Yeah, that's a goblin," said Hagrid quietly as they walked up the white stone steps toward him.
“我们到古灵阁了，”海格说。他们来到一栋高耸于其他小商店之上的雪白色建筑。站在它那擦亮的青铜门旁边，穿着猩红色和金色制服的人。“是的，他们是妖精，”当他们走上白色的石阶向他走去时，海格平静地说道。
The goblin was about a head shorter than Harry. He had a swarthy, clever face, a pointed beard and, Harry noticed, very long fingers and feet. He bowed as they walked inside. Now they were facing a second pair of doors, silver this time, with words engraved upon them:
妖精比哈利矮一个头。他有一张黝黑而聪明的脸，尖尖的胡须，哈利注意到，他的手指和脚非常长。他们走进去时，他鞠躬致意。现在他们面对的是第二扇门，这次是银色的，上面刻着字：
Enter, stranger, but take heed
进来吧，陌生人，但要小心
Of what awaits the sin of greed.
罪恶贪婪的后果。
For those who take, but do not earn,
对于那些只索取而不赚钱的人，
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
必须付出最惨痛的代价。
So if you seek beneath our floors
所以如果你试图在我们的地板下寻找
A treasure that was never yours,
从来都不属于你的宝藏，
Thief, you have been warned, beware
小偷，你已经被警告了
Of finding more than treasure there.
当心找到除了宝藏外的其他东西。
"Like I said, You'd be mad to try and rob it," said Hagrid. A pair of goblins bowed them through the silver doors and they were in a vast marble hall. About a hundred more goblins were sitting on high stools behind a long counter, scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins in brass scales, examining precious stones through eyeglasses. There were too many doors to count leading off the hall, and yet more goblins were showing people in and out of these. Hagrid and Harry made for the counter.
“就像我说的，如果你试图抢劫这个银行，那你就是疯了，”海格说。一对妖精鞠着躬送他们穿过银色大门，他们来到了一间宽敞的大理石大厅。大约一百个妖精坐在长柜台后面的高凳上，在大账簿上写字，用铜秤称硬币，用眼镜检查宝石。大厅里有数不清的门，还有更多的妖精在引导人们进出。海格和哈利走向柜台。
