'They call it the Dementors' Kiss,' said Lupin, with a slightly twisted smile.
“人們叫它攝魂怪的吻。”盧平說，略帶一點(diǎn)嘲諷的笑容。
'It's what Dementors do to those they wish to destroy utterly.
“這是攝魂怪對(duì)那些它們想徹底毀滅的人做的事。
I suppose there must be some kind of mouth under there, because they clamp their jaws upon the mouth of the victim and — and suck out his soul.'
我想頭巾下面總會(huì)有類似嘴那樣的東西，因?yàn)樗鼈儼严掳蛪涸跔奚返淖焐希缓蟆鰻奚返撵`魂。”
Harry accidentally spat out a bit of Butterbeer. 'What — they kill —?'
哈利不覺吐出一點(diǎn)黃油啤酒來。“什么——它們殺——？”
'Oh, no,' said Lupin. 'Much worse than that.
“哦，不是的，”盧平說道，“比殺死還要糟。
You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working.
你知道，只要你的腦子和心臟還在工作，你就能沒有靈魂而活下去。
But you'll have no sense of self any more, no memory, no ... anything.
但你不再有自我感覺了，你也沒有了記憶，沒有了……什么都沒有了。
There's no chance at all of recovery.
根本沒有機(jī)會(huì)復(fù)原。
You'll just — exist. As an empty shell. And your soul is gone for ever ... lost.'
你就是——就是活著罷了，行尸走肉而已。你的靈魂就此……萬劫不復(fù)。”
Lupin drank a little more Butterbeer, then said, 'It's the fate that awaits Sirius Black.
盧平又喝了一點(diǎn)黃油啤酒，然后說：“這就是小天狼星布萊克的未來命運(yùn)。
It was in the Daily Prophet this morning.
今天早晨的《預(yù)言家日?qǐng)?bào)》是這么說的。
The Ministry have given the Dementors permission to perform it if they find him.'
魔法部已經(jīng)答應(yīng)攝魂怪們捉到布萊克以后就這樣做。”
Harry sat stunned for a moment at the idea of someone having their soul sucked out through their mouth.
哈利想著從嘴里把人的靈魂吸走的事，不覺坐在那里目瞪口呆了一會(huì)兒。
But then he thought of Black. 'He deserves it,' he said suddenly.
不過他想到了布萊克。“他活該。”他忽然說。
'You think so?' said Lupin lightly. 'Do you really think anyone deserves that?'
“你這樣想嗎？”盧平輕輕地問，“你真的認(rèn)為有人活該這樣嗎？”
'Yes,' said Harry defiantly. 'For ... for some things ...'
“是的，”哈利不管不顧地說，“對(duì)……做了某些事的……”
