'What interests me most,' said Dumbledore gently, 'is how Lord Voldemort managed to enchant Ginny,
“我最感興趣的是，”鄧布利多溫和地說，“伏地魔是用什么辦法迷惑金妮的，
when my sources tell me he is currently in hiding in the forests of Albania.'
因為據我的消息來源顯示，他目前正躲在阿爾巴尼亞的森林里呢。”
Relief – warm, sweeping, glorious relief — swept over Harry.
哈利松了口氣——大大地、如釋重負地松了口氣，渾身感到一陣輕松，心里熱乎乎的。
'W-what's that?' said Mr Weasley in a stunned voice.
“什——什么？”韋斯萊夫人用驚愕的聲音說，
'You Know Who? En-enchant Ginny?
“神秘人？迷惑了金妮？
But Ginny's not... Ginny hasn't been... has she?'
可是金妮不是……金妮沒有……是嗎？”
'It was this diary,' said Harry quickly, picking it up and showing it to Dumbledore.
“都是這個日記本在作祟，”哈利趕緊說道，一邊抓起那本日記，拿給鄧布利多看，
'Riddle wrote it when he was sixteen.'
“是里德爾十六歲的時候寫的。”
Dumbledore took the diary from Harry and peered keenly down his long, crooked nose at its burnt and soggy pages.
鄧布利多從哈利手里接過日記本，目光從他長長的鷹鉤鼻上射下來，專注地凝視著那些濕乎乎的、被燒焦的紙頁。
'Brilliant,' he said softly.
“真了不起，”他輕聲地說，
'Of course, he was probably the most brilliant student Hogwarts has ever seen.'
“不用說，他大概可以說是霍格沃茨有史以來最出色的學生。”
He turned around to the Weasleys, who were looking utterly bewildered.
他轉過身子，面對著韋斯萊夫婦，他們倆都顯得十分困惑。
'Very few people know that Lord Voldemort was once called Tom Riddle.
“很少有人知道伏地魔以前曾叫湯姆里德爾。
I taught him myself, fifty years ago, at Hogwarts.
五十年前，在霍格沃茨，我親自教過他。
He disappeared after leaving the school... travelled far and wide...
他離開學校后就失蹤了……周游四方，足跡遍及天涯海角……
sank so deeply into the Dark Arts, consorted with the very worst of our kind, underwent so many dangerous, magical transformations,
在黑魔法的泥潭中越陷越深，和巫師界最邪惡的家伙混跡在一起，經過許多次危險的魔法變形，
that when he resurfaced as Lord Voldemort, he was barely recognisable.
最后作為伏地魔重新出現，人們很難認出他來。
