原文欣赏

“No,” said Ron. “But see what the card is. I'm missing Agrippa.”
"不是的。哎,快看看卡片上印的是什么,我想要阿里巴。"

“What?”
"什么?"

“Oh, of course, you wouldn't know — Chocolate Frogs have cards, inside them, you know, to collect — famous witches and wizards. I've got about five hundred, but I haven't got Agrippa or Ptolemy.”
"你还不知道吧,每个巧克力青蛙糖里面都有一张卡片,上面印有著名的魔法师的名字供孩子们收集。我已经集了五百多张,就差印有阿里巴和托来米的了。"

Harry unwrapped his Chocolate Frog and picked up the card. It showed a man's face. He wore halfmoon glasses, had a long, crooked nose, and flowing silver hair, beard, and mustache. Underneath the picture was the name Albus Dumbledore.
哈利打开一个巧克力青蛙糖,从中取出一张卡片,卡上有一个人的画像。那人戴着一副半月形的眼镜,长着长长的鹰钩鼻子,银白的头发像流水一般,满脸大胡子,画像下还印着他的名字:艾伯斯。丹伯多。

“So this is Dumbledore!” said Harry.
"那么,这人一定是丹伯多喽。"哈利说。

“Don't tell me you'd never heard of Dumbledore!” said Ron. “Can I have a frog? I might get Agrippa — thanks—”
"别告诉我你没听说过丹伯多这个人幄!"罗恩说,"嘿,能给我一只吗?说不定我会找到阿里巴。啊,谢谢——"

Harry turned over his card and read:
哈利将手中的卡片翻转过来,发现上面印着:

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
艾伯斯。丹伯多

CURRENTLY HEADMASTER OF HOGWARTS
现任霍格瓦彻校长

Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel. Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and tenpin bowling.
当今许多伟大的魔法师都认为,于1945年击败神秘魔法师福尔得摩特、发现龙血的十二种妙用以及他的搭档尼古拉斯。费兰马尔对魔法研究的贡献等都是令他名声大噪的主因。丹怕多教授喜欢欣赏殿堂音乐和玩保龄球。

Harry turned the card back over and saw, to his astonishment, that Dumbledore's face had disappeared.
哈利又将卡片反过来,惊奇地发现丹伯多的头像竟然不见了。

“He's gone!”
"他不见了!"

“Well, you can't expect him to hang around all day,” said Ron. “He'll be back. No, I've got Morgana again and I've got about six of her… do you want it? You can start collecting.”
"你总不能让他老呆在这儿吧,"罗恩说,"他得回去。噢,不是吧,又是摩根娜,我已经有六张了。嘿,你想要吗?你也可以收集嘛。"

Ron's eyes strayed to the pile of Chocolate Frogs waiting to be unwrapped.
罗恩的双眼盯着那堆巧克力青蛙糖,期待着哈利早点打开它们。

“Help yourself,” said Harry. “But in, you know, the Muggle world, people just stay put in photos.”
"喜欢的话,你自己拿。"哈利说,"可是在,呃,在马格的世界里,照片里的人全都是一直呆着不动的。"

“Do they? What, they don't move at all?” Ron sounded amazed. “Weird!”
"是吗?你是说,他们完全不会动吗?"罗恩感到十分惊讶:"真奇怪!"
