'Didn't catch that, Neville, sorry,' said Professor Lupin cheerfully.
“沒聽見，對不起，納威。”盧平教授快樂地說。
Neville looked around rather wildly, as though begging someone to help him, then said, in barely more than a whisper, 'Professor Snape.'
納威急切地向四面看，好像是在求誰幫助他，然后聲音低得跟耳語似地說：“斯內普教授。”
Nearly everyone laughed. Even Neville grinned apologetically.
幾乎每個人都大笑起來。就連納威自己也抱歉地咧嘴笑了。
Professor Lupin, however, looked thoughtful.
然而，盧平教授卻似乎在深思。
'Professor Snape... hmmm... Neville, I believe you live with your grandmother?'
“斯內普教授……唔……納威，我想你是和你祖母一起住的吧？”
'Er — yes,' said Neville nervously. 'But — I don't want the Boggart to turn into her, either.'
“哦——是的，”納威緊張地說道，“不過——我也不要博格特變成她的樣子。”
'No, no, you misunderstand me,' said Professor Lupin, now smiling.
“不，不，你沒聽懂我的話，”盧平教授說，現在他在微笑，
'I wonder, could you tell us what sort of clothes your grandmother usually wears?'
“我不知道，你是不是可以告訴我們，你祖母平常穿什么樣的衣服？”
Neville looked startled, but said, 'Well... always the same hat.
納威似乎大吃了一驚，但是他說：“唔……總是戴同樣的帽子。
A tall one with a stuffed vulture on top. And a long dress... green, normally... and sometimes a fox-fur scarf.'
是那種高高的、頂上有個老雕標本的。還穿一件長長的女服……綠色的，通常是……有時候還圍一條狐貍皮圍巾。”
'And a handbag?' prompted Professor Lupin.
“還有手袋是不是？”盧平教授鼓勵他說下去。
'A big red one,' said Neville.
“一個紅色的大手袋。”納威說。
'Right then,' said Professor Lupin. 'Can you picture those clothes very clearly, Neville?
“好，”盧平教授說，“你能把這些衣服描摹得很詳細嗎，納威？
Can you see them in your mind's eye?'
你腦子里能看見這些衣服嗎？”
'Yes,' said Neville uncertainly, plainly wondering what was coming next.
“能。”納威茫然回答道，顯然不知道下一步會發生什么事。
'When the Boggart bursts out of this wardrobe, Neville, and sees you, it will assume the form of Professor Snape,' said Lupin.
“等博格特從衣柜里沖出來的時候，納威，而且看見你的時候，它就會呈現出斯內普教授的樣子。”盧平說，
'And you will raise your wand — thus — and cry "Riddikulus" — and concentrate hard on your grandmother's clothes.
“你呢，要拿起魔杖——這樣拿——而且大叫‘滑稽滑稽’——并且努力集中注意力，想著你祖母的衣服。
