A 'real-life Hogwarts School of Witchcraft¹ and Wizardry' is set to open in the UK where students can learn spells and 'encounter magical creatures'.

英国即将开放一所“现实版”的学习魔法的霍格沃兹学校，在学校里学生可以学习魔咒并且“邂逅神奇的生物”。

Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex has organised the magical three day event, which is aiming to give muggles the chance to experience what it would be like to be a witch or wizard.

英格兰东萨塞克斯郡的赫斯特蒙索城堡已经对这个为期三天的盛会进行了安排，目的是让“麻瓜们”有机会体验男女巫师是什么样子。

Students can enrol² from 11th - 13th August 2017 when the 15th century castle opens its doors to the public.

当这座建于15世纪的城堡于今年8月11日到13日对外开放时，学生便可以在那时注册。

The three-day experience aims to recreate the magical school from Harry³ Potter as closely as possible, so students will be sorted into one of four houses before competing against each other.

这次三天的体验旨在尽可能的贴近《哈利波特》中的魔法学校，因此学生们在互相竞争之前，将会被分入四所学院中的任意一所。

They will also get to take part in lessons to learn spells, potions and other kinds of witchcraft, and even have the chance to 'encounter magical creatures' (unfortunately just actors in costumes).

他们也将学习很多课程，例如魔咒，魔药以及其他的魔法，甚至有机会邂逅“神奇的生物”（遗憾的是这些生物是人穿着服装假扮的）。

All meals are included and there's a big banquet at the end of the stay to celebrate the house that emerges as the winner of three days of competition.

学校提供所有的食物，在本次体验的最后，会有一个盛大的宴会，来庆祝三天比赛过后胜利的那个学院。

The experience is for over 18s only and it's not cheap. The three nights will set you back between 440 pounds- 450 pounds.

该体验仅限18岁以上的人，且收费也不便宜，三晚将花费你440到450英镑。

On the website, the event is described as follows: "You'll stay for 3 days, full board, and be sorted into your house, take part in lessons, attend a banquet, explore the grounds and meet weird⁴ and wonderful creatures."

网站上是如此描述该体验的：“你可以呆三个夜晚，包食宿，你将会被分到适合你的学院，学习课程，参加宴会，探索奥秘以及见证奇妙精彩的生物。”

"All of this takes place in our enchanting⁵ 15th century castle. The event runs much like a murder mystery. You'll be given a role to play and a story will unfold around you where you have to interact with other characters. It's just just like being in a movie or video game."

“所有的这些都在我们悠久迷人的15世纪的城堡中进行，整个体验就像神秘的谋杀案，你会得到一个扮演的角色，而只有你与其他的角色产生交流，故事才会在你周围展开，这就像是身处一部电影或者是一个电子游戏。”

"We'll provide the robes, so all you'll need is a wand and good humour. If you've never experienced anything like this before, don't worry. you can get as much or as little involved as you like and we will have all you need to have a great time."

“我们会提供巫师长袍，你需要的是一根魔法棒以及幽默感。如果你之前从未有过类似这样的体验，不用担心，你可以根据你的喜好或多或少的参与，我们可以满足你所有的要求，让你度过快乐的时光。”
