【原】精读 | 哥特风建筑，神秘的位置——斯莱特林公共休息室的秘密！

The lounge has a dark green tone, but it also has Gothic decoration style, such as weird and magical sculptures, exquisite fireplaces, medieval tapestries depicting Slytherin's famous adventures, and so on.

（斯莱特林）休息室里面主打暗绿色基调，但同时也颇具哥特式的装修风格，例如怪异神奇的雕塑、精美的壁炉、描绘着斯莱特林曾进行过的著名冒险的中世纪挂毯，等等。

The most impressive part of Slytherin common room is its overall structure. Its wall carving is complicated, and almost no Stone is intact. Monotonous colors, stone walls and green lights give people a Gothic feeling.

斯莱特林公共休息室最令人印象深刻的部分是它的整体结构。它的墙壁雕刻复杂，几乎没有一块石头是完好无损的。单调的色彩、石墙和绿色的灯光，给人一种哥特式的感觉。

The four colleges represent four elements, and the color of their common lounges is mainly the color of this element. For example, Gryffindor is fire, Hufflepuff is earth, Ravenclaw is wind, and Slytherin represents water.

四大学院分别代表着四种元素，而其公共休息室的颜色也以该元素的颜色为主。例如格兰芬多是火、赫奇帕奇是土、拉文克劳是风，而斯莱特林代表的是水。

Because of this, Slytherin's common room is the only one that depends on water. However, fire and water are mutually exclusive, which just implies the incompatible relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

因为如此，斯莱特林的公共休息室是唯一靠水的。不过，火与水是相克的，正好也暗示了格兰芬多与斯莱特林水火不容的关系。

Another reason why Slytherin is the most mysterious common room is that only Slytherin's own people know its location, and most people in other colleges don't.

之所以说斯莱特林是最神秘的公共休息室，还有一个原因，那就是只有斯莱特林自己人知道它的位置，其他学院大多数人都不知道。
