【原】精读 | 罗恩属于“二十八圣族”？

Hermione and Harry's mother are both Muggle-born, so both of them are prejudiced. Ron comes from a pure-blood family. In fact, the Weasleys are members of the "Sacred Twenty-Eight".

赫敏和哈利的母亲都是麻瓜出身，两人都因此受到了偏见。而罗恩来自一个纯血统的家庭，事实上，韦斯莱一家是“二十八圣族”的一员。

Weasleys are sorry and dissatisfied with being one of the twenty-eight pure blood families, because they have been interested in the Muggle world for a long time. Their protest behavior has aroused the disgust of other families on the list, and they regard every member of the Weasley family as a "pure blood traitor".

韦斯莱家对自己成为二十八个纯血家族之一感到遗憾与不满，因为他们长久以来一直对麻瓜世界很感兴趣。他们的抗议行为招致了名录上其他一些家族的厌恶，他们把韦斯莱家族的每一个成员都看成是“纯血统叛徒”。

After Harry entered the wizarding world, he realized that many people dared not call Voldemort's name, including Ron. Whenever Harry says Voldemort's name, he always seems a little afraid, which really annoys Harry. Ron finally overcame this fear.

哈利进入魔法世界后，才知道许多人不敢喊伏地魔的名字，当然这其中包括罗恩。每当哈利说出伏地魔的名字时，他总是显得有点畏惧，这确实让哈利很恼火。罗恩最终克服了这种恐惧。

In his fifth year, Ron unexpectedly became a prefect. Hermione was also made a prefect that same year. Harry felt a little angry that Ron had been chosen over him, though Dumbledore had always had his reasons, of course.

五年级时，罗恩出人意料地当上了级长。同年，赫敏也被任命为级长。哈利对罗恩被选中而不是他感到有点生气，当然，邓布利多总是有他的理由。
