The Potion that Professor Snape has been making for me is a very recent discovery. It makes me safe, you see.
斯內普教授給我配的藥劑是最近才發現的。你們要知道，這種藥讓我變得安全了。
As long as I take it in the week preceding the full moon, I keep my mind when I transform … I am able to curl up in my office, a harmless wolf, and wait for the moon to wane again.
只要我在月圓前一個星期服下這種藥劑，我變形時就會保持理智……我能夠蜷伏在辦公室里，做一只無害于人的狼，等待滿月過去。
'Before the Wolfsbane Potion was discovered, however, I became a fully fledged monster once a month.
“然而，在發現狼毒藥劑以前，我每月一次變成一頭不折不扣的狼。
It seemed impossible that I would be able to come to Hogwarts. Other parents weren't likely to want their children exposed to me.
我本來是不可能來到霍格沃茨的，其他家長不可能愿意讓自己的孩子接觸我。
'But then Dumbledore became Headmaster, and he was sympathetic. He said that, as long as we took certain precautions, there was no reason I shouldn't come to school …'
“但是后來鄧布利多當了校長，他很有同情心。他說，只要采取某些預防措施，沒有理由不讓我到這學校來……”
Lupin sighed, and looked directly at Harry. 'I told you, months ago, that the Whomping Willow was planted the year I came to Hogwarts. The truth is that it was planted because I had come to Hogwarts.
盧平嘆了口氣，面對著哈利，“幾個月以前，我告訴你說，那棵打人柳是我到霍格沃茨的那年種的。其實是為了我到霍格沃茨才種的。
This house –' Lupin looked miserably around the room, '– the tunnel that leads to it – they were built for my use.
這所房子……”盧平悲哀地環顧四周，“到這里來的那條地道……是為了供我使用才開的。
Once a month, I was smuggled out of the castle, into this place, to transform.
一月一次，我被偷偷地送出城堡，送到這里來變形。
The tree was placed at the tunnel mouth to stop anyone coming across me while I was dangerous.'
在地道口種那棵樹，是為了不讓任何人在我對人有危險時遇到我?！?/div>
Harry couldn't see where this story was going, but he was listening raptly all the same.
哈利不明白盧平說這些有什么意思，但他還是聽得著了迷。
The only sound apart from Lupin's voice was Scabbers's frightened squeaking.
除了盧平的聲音之外，惟一的聲音就是斑斑因為害怕而發出的尖叫。
