Harry stared up at Dumbledore. “And then she sort of became normal again, and she couldn't remember anything she'd said.
哈利盯著丹伯多，“然后，她又變得正常了，但是她記不起她說了些什么。
Was it — was she making a real prediction?”
是不是——是不是她預言了什么？”
Dumbledore looked mildly impressed.
丹伯多看起來并不很在意。
“Do you know, Harry, I think she might have been.” he said thoughtfully.
“知道嗎？哈利，我想她也許預言了什么，”他沉思著說，
“Who'd have thought it? That brings her total of real predictions up to two. I should offer her a pay raise….”
“誰愿意去想這些呢？這使她預言的全部歸于兩種結果，我想我應當給她增加薪水。”
“But —” Harry looked at him, aghast. How could Dumbledore take this so calmly?
“但是——”哈利看著他，張大了嘴，丹伯多怎么可以這么平靜地對待這件事呢？
“But — I stopped Sirius and Professor Lupin from killing Pettigrew!
“但是——我阻止西里斯和露平教授殺死彼德吉雷！
That makes it my fault if Voldemort comes back!”
這是我的錯，如果福爾得摩特卷土重來！”
“It does not,” said Dumbledore quietly. “Hasn't your experience with the Time-Turner taught you anything, Harry?
“不會的，”丹伯多平靜地說，“難道你使用時間轉換器的經驗還沒讓你知道一些東西嗎？哈利。
The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse,
我們做事的因與果是相當復雜的，多變的，
that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed….
所以預測未來實在是一件相當復雜的事……
Professor Trelawney, bless her, is living proof of that….
特雷絡尼教授，這是一個活生生的證據，
You did a very noble thing, in saving Pettigrew's life.”
你做了一件高貴的事，救了彼德吉雷的命。”
“But if he helps Voldemort back to power…”
“但是如果他幫助福爾得摩特重新糾集力量——”
“Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt….
“彼德吉雷欠你一條命。你將一個欠你債的人當作代表派到了福爾得摩特那里。
When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates a certain bond between them…
當一個魔法師救了另一個魔法師的性命的時候，他們之間便產生了某種聯系……
and I'm much mistaken if Voldemort wants his servant in the debt of Harry Potter.”
同時我會非常疑惑如果福爾得摩特還讓他的手下找哈利-波特復仇。“
“I don't want a connection with Pettigrew!” said Harry. “He betrayed my parents!”
“我不想與彼德吉雷有任何關系！”哈利說，“他出賣了我的父母。”
