A stooping man had appeared behind the counter, smoothing hisgreasyhair back from his face.
一個(gè)躬腰駝背的男人出現(xiàn)在柜臺(tái)后面，用手向后捋著油光光的頭發(fā)。
“Mr. Malfoy, what a pleasure to see you again,” said Mr. Borgin in a voice as oily as his hair.
“馬爾福先生，再次見到您真讓人愉快。”博金先生用和他的頭發(fā)一樣油滑的腔調(diào)說(shuō)道，
“Delighted — and young Master Malfoy, too — charmed.
“非常榮幸——還有馬爾福少爺——?dú)g迎光臨。
How may I be of assistance? I must show you, just in today, and very reasonably priced —”
我能為您做些什么？我一定要給您看看，今天剛進(jìn)的，價(jià)錢非常公道——”
“I’m not buying today, Mr. Borgin, but selling,” said Mr. Malfoy.
“我今天不買東西，博金先生，我是來(lái)賣東西的。”馬爾福先生說(shuō)。
“Selling?” The smile faded slightly from Mr. Borgin’s face.
“賣東西？”博金先生臉上的笑容稍稍減少了一些。
“You have heard, of course, that the Ministry is conducting more raids,” said Mr. Malfoy, takinga roll ofparchment from his inside pocket and unraveling it for Mr. Borgin to read.
“你想必聽說(shuō)了，部里加緊了抄查。”馬爾福先生說(shuō)著，從衣服內(nèi)側(cè)的口袋里摸出一卷羊皮紙，展開給博金先生看。
“I have a few — ah — items at home that mightembarrassme, if the Ministry were to call. . . .”
“我家里有一些——啊——可能給我造成不便的東西，如果部里來(lái)……”
Mr. Borgin fixed a pair of pince-nez to his nose and looked down the list.
博金先生戴上一副夾鼻眼鏡，低頭看著清單。
“The Ministry wouldn’t presume to trouble you, sir, surely?”
“想來(lái)部里不會(huì)去打攪您吧，先生？”
Mr. Malfoy’s lip curled.
馬爾福先生撇了撇嘴。
“I have not been visited yet.
“目前還沒(méi)有來(lái)過(guò)。
The name Malfoy still commands a certain respect, yet the Ministry grows ever more meddlesome.
馬爾福的名字還有一點(diǎn)威望，可是部里越來(lái)越好管閑事了。
There are rumors about a new Muggle Protection Act — no doubt that flea-bitten, Muggle-loving fool Arthur Weasley is behind it —”
據(jù)說(shuō)要出臺(tái)一部新的《麻瓜保護(hù)法》—定是那個(gè)邋里邋遢的蠢貨亞瑟韋斯萊在背后搞鬼，他最喜歡麻瓜——”
Harry felt a hot surge of anger.
哈利覺得怒火中燒。
