Dumbledore told them that their best chance was the Fidelius Charm.'
鄧布利多對他們說，他們最好的機會是那道赤膽忠心魔咒。”
'How does that work?' said Madam Rosmerta, breathless with interest.
“那玩藝兒怎么起作用啊？”羅斯默塔女士問，因為感興趣而喘不上氣來。
Professor Flitwick cleared his throat.
弗立維教授清了清嗓子。
'An immensely complex spell,' he said squeakily, 'involving the magical concealment of a secret inside a single, living soul.
“非常復雜的咒語，”他吱吱地尖聲說道，“涉及用魔法把一個秘密隱藏在一個活人的靈魂之中。
The information is hidden inside the chosen person, or Secret Keeper, and is henceforth impossible to find — unless, of course, the Secret Keeper chooses to divulge it.
這個秘密藏在選中的那個人，或者說保密人心里，從此就不可能發現這個秘密了——當然，除非這個保密人存心泄露。
As long as the Secret Keeper refused to speak, You-Know-Who could search the village where Lily and James were staying for years and never find them,
只要保密人拒絕說話，神秘人就是搜查波特夫婦居住多年的村莊，也永遠我不到他們，
not even if he had his nose pressed against their sitting-room window!'
哪怕他在他們夫婦起居室外面的玻璃窗上壓扁了自己的鼻子也找不到！”
'So Black was the Potters'Secret Keeper?' whispered Madam Rosmerta.
“那么說布萊克就是波特夫婦的保密人了？”羅斯默塔女士壓低嗓音問道。
'Naturally,' said Professor McGonagall. 'James Potter told Dumbledore that Black would die rather than tell where they were,
“自然，”麥格教授說，“詹姆波特告訴鄧布利多說，布萊克寧可自己死也不會說出他們在哪里，
that Black was planning to go into hiding himself ... and yet, Dumbledore remained worried.
還說布萊克自己也打算藏起來……就是這樣，鄧布利多還是擔心。
I remember him offering to be the Potters'Secret Keeper himself.'
我記得他提出他自己來做波特夫婦的保密人。”
'He suspected Black?' gasped Madam Rosmerta.
“他信不過布萊克嗎？”羅斯默塔女士喘著氣問道。
'He was sure that somebody close to the Potters had been keeping You-Know-Who informed of their movements, 'said Professor McGonagall darkly.
“他肯定在接近波特夫婦的人當中，一定有誰一直在把他們的行蹤告訴神秘人，”麥格教授陰郁地說，
'Indeed, he had suspected for some time that someone on our side had turned traitor and was passing a lot of information to You-Know-Who.'
“的確，他在相當長的時間里懷疑我們這邊有人成了叛徒，把許多信息告訴了神秘人。”
