'When they get near me —' Harry stared at Lupin's desk, his throat tight, 'I can hear Voldemort murdering my mum.'
“它們靠近我的時候——”哈利瞪著盧平的書桌說，喉嚨發緊，“我能夠聽到伏地魔在殺害我的媽媽。”
Lupin made a sudden motion with his arm as though he had made to grip Harry's shoulder, but thought better of it.
盧平的手臂突然一動，好像要去抓住哈利的肩膀，但又改變了主意。
There was a moment's silence; then —
沉寂了一會兒，然后——
'Why did they have to come to the match?' said Harry bitterly.
“它們為什么要到比賽場地來呢？”哈利痛苦地問道。
'They're getting hungry,' said Lupin coolly, shutting his briefcase with a snap.
“它們餓了。”盧平冷淡地說，啪的一聲關上了他的公文包。
'Dumbledore won't let them into the school, so their supply of human prey has dried up ...
“鄧布利多不讓它們進入學校，所以供給它們的人類犧牲品就用完了。
I don't think they could resist the large crowd around the Quidditch pitch.
我認為魁地奇比賽場周圍的大批人群對它們是很大的誘惑。
All that excitement ... emotions running high ... it was their idea of a feast.'
所有那些興奮……激情高漲……在它們看來就是一場盛宴。”
'Azkaban must be terrible,'Harry muttered.
“阿茲卡班一定很可怕。”哈利嘟囔著說。
Lupin nodded grimly.
盧平陰郁地點點頭。
'The fortress is set on a tiny island, way out to sea, but they don't need walls and water to keep the prisoners in,
“城堡坐落在一個小島上，在出海的路上，但是那里不需要用圍墻和水來關犯人，
not when they're all trapped inside their own heads, incapable of a single cheerful thought.
因為犯人都在它們的掌握之中，犯人本身不會有最簡單的思想。
Most of them go mad within weeks.'
多數犯人幾周之內就瘋了。”
'But Sirius Black escaped from them, 'Harry said slowly. 'He got away ...'
“但是布萊克從它們手中逃了出來，”哈利慢慢地說，“他逃走了……”
Lupin's briefcase slipped from the desk; he had to stoop quickly to catch it.
盧平的公文包從桌子上滑了下去，他不得不迅速彎下腰去撿。
'Yes,' he said, straightening up. 'Black must have found a way to fight them.
“是的，”他直起身子來說道，“布萊克一定找到了和它們斗的辦法。
I wouldn't have believed it possible ... Dementors are supposed to drain a wizard of his powers if he is left with them too long ...'
我是不相信他能夠……如果巫師和攝魂怪待在一起的時候太長，它們就會使巫師失去法力……”
