21 He bolted his dinner that evening without noticing what he was eating, and then rushed upstairs with Ron to unwrap the Nimbus Two Thousand at last.
晚饭时他三口两口咽下食物，根本没有注意吃的是什么，然后和罗恩一起迅速奔上楼梯，终于可以打开光轮2000了。

22 "It's no wonder no one can stand her," he said to Harry as they pushed their way into the crowded corridor, "she's a nightmare, honestly. "
“怪不得大家都受不了她，”他对哈利说，这时他们正在拥挤的走廊里费力穿行，“说实在的，她简直就像一个噩梦。”

23 Someone knocked into Harry as they hurried past him.
