“什么問題？”哈利厲聲問道，拳頭仍然攥得緊緊的。
'Well,' said Riddle, smiling pleasantly,
“比如說，”里德爾說道，臉上露出快意的微笑，
'how is it that a baby with no extraordinary magical talent managed to defeat the greatest wizard of all time?
“一個嬰兒，沒有任何特別神奇的法術，是怎么打敗有史以來最偉大的巫師的？
How did you escape with nothing but a scar, while Lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed?'
你怎么能夠安然無恙地逃脫，只留下一道傷疤，而伏地魔的力量卻被摧毀了？”
There was an odd red gleam in his hungry eyes now.
現在，他餓狼似的眼睛里閃著一種古怪的紅光。
'Why do you care how I escaped?' said Harry slowly.
“你為什么關心我是怎么逃脫的？”哈利拖長了聲音問，
'Voldemort was after your time.'
“伏地魔的事發生在你死后許多年。”
'Voldemort,' said Riddle softly, 'is my past, present and future, Harry Potter... '
“伏地魔，”里德爾輕聲說，“是我的過去、現在和未來，哈利·波特……”
He pulled Harry's wand from his pocket and began to trace it through the air, writing three shimmering words: TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE ?
他從口袋里抽出哈和的魔杖，在空中畫了幾下，寫出三個閃閃發亮的名字：湯姆·馬沃羅·里德爾。
Then he waved the wand once, and the letters of his name re-arranged themselves: I AM LORD VOLDEMORT
然后他把魔杖揮了一下，那些字母自動調換了位置，變成了：我是伏地魔。
'You see?' he whispered. 'It was a name I was already using at Hogwarts, to my most intimate friends only, of course.
“看見了嗎？”他小聲地說，“這個名字是我在霍格沃茨讀書的時候就用過的，當然啦，只對我最親密的朋友用過。
You think I was going to use my filthy Muggle father's name for ever?

I, in whose veins runs the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself, through my mother's side?
要知道，在我的血管里，流淌著薩拉查斯萊特林本人的鮮血，是通過他的女兒傳給我的！
I, keep the name of a foul, common Muggle,
難道我還會保留那個令人惡心的普通麻瓜的名字？
who abandoned me even before I was born, just because he found out his wife was a witch?
他在我還沒有出生時就拋棄了我，就因為他發現自己的妻子是個女巫！
