Harry looked quickly around and spotted a large black cabinet to his left; he shot inside it and pulled the doors closed, leaving a small crack to peer through.
哈利迅速朝四下一望，看到左邊有一個黑色的大柜子，便閃身鉆了進去，掩上門，只留了一條細縫。
Seconds later, a bell clanged, and Malfoy stepped into the shop.
幾秒鐘后，鈴聲一響，馬爾福走進了店里。
The man who followed could only be Draco’s father.
他身后的那個男人只能是他的父親，
He had the same pale, pointed face and identical cold, gray eyes.
也是那樣蒼白的尖臉，那樣冷漠的灰眼睛。
Mr. Malfoy crossed the shop, looking lazily at the items on display, and rang a bell on the counter before turning to his son and saying, “Touch nothing, Draco.”
馬爾福先生穿過店堂，懶洋洋地看著陳列的物品，搖響了柜臺上的鈴鐺，然后轉身對兒子說：“什么都別碰，德拉科?！?/div>
Malfoy, who had reached for the glass eye, said, “I thought you were going to buy me a present.”
馬爾福正要伸手摸那只玻璃眼球，他說：“我以為你要給我買件禮物呢?！?/div>
“I said I would buy you a racing broom,” said his father, drumming his fingers on the counter.
“我是說要給你買一把比賽用的掃帚?！彼赣H用手指叩著柜臺說。
“What’s the good of that if I’m not on the House team?” said Malfoy, looking sulky and bad-tempered.
“如果我不是學院隊的隊員，買掃帚有什么用？”馬爾福氣呼呼地說，
“Harry Potter got a Nimbus Two Thousand last year.
“哈利波特去年得了一把光輪2000，
Special permission from Dumbledore so he could play for Gryffindor.
鄧布利多特許他代表格蘭芬多學院比賽。
He’s not even that good, it’s just because he’s famous . . . famous for having a stupid scar on his forehead. . . .”
他根本就不配，不過是因為他有些名氣……因為他額頭上有一個愚蠢的傷疤……”
Malfoy bent down to examine a shelf full of skulls.
馬爾福彎腰仔細查看滿滿一個架子的頭蓋骨。
“. . . everyone thinks he’s so smart, wonderful Potter with his scar and his broomstick —”
“……所有的人都覺得他那么優秀，了不起的哈利波特和他的傷疤，還有他的飛天掃帚……”
“You have told me this at least a dozen times already,” said Mr. Malfoy, with a quelling look at his son.
“你已經跟我講了至少有十遍了，”馬爾福先生看了兒子一眼，制止他再說下去，
“And I would remind you that it is not — prudent — to appear less than fond of Harry Potter, not when most of our kind regard him as the hero who made the Dark Lord disappear — ah, Mr. Borgin.”
“我要提醒你，當多數人都把哈利波特看成是趕跑了魔頭的英雄時，你不裝作喜歡他是不——不明智的?！。┙鹣壬??！?/p>
