"Dear Mr. Potter, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "
親愛的波特先生，很榮幸通知您，您已被霍格沃茲魔法學校錄取。
He will not be going I tell you!
我告訴你，他才不會去！
We swore when we took him that we'd put a stop to all this rubbish.
在收留他的那天，我們就發誓要阻止這一切。
You knew? You knew all along and you never told me?Of course we knew. How could you not be?
你們知道？怎么從來沒告訴過我？我們當然知道，你也是那種貨色。
My perfect sister being who she was. My mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter.
就像我完美的姐姐一個樣子。我爸媽在她收到信那天多么自豪。
"We have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful?"
我們家出了個女巫，真是太棒了，不是嗎？
I was the only one to see her for what she was. A freak!
只有我才知道她的底細。她是個怪胎！
Then she met that Potter, and then she had you, and I knew you would be the same. Just as strange, just as abnormal.
然后她認識了那個波特，又有了你，我就知道你也是那種貨色。一樣奇怪，也是怪胎。
And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up, and we got landed with you. Blown up? You told me my parents died in a car crash.
然后她就把自己炸死了，我們只能收留你。炸死？你說我爸媽死于車禍。
A car crash? A car crash killed Lily and James Potter?
什么車禍？車禍能殺了莉莉和詹姆斯·波特嗎？
We had to say something. It's an outrage! A scandal!
總得編個理由吧。這是侮辱！這是誹謗！
He'll not be going. And I suppose a great Muggle like you is going to stop him, are you?
他才不會去。我猜你這個大塊頭麻瓜想阻止嗎？
Muggle? Nonmagic folk. This boy's had his name down ever since he was born.
什么麻瓜？不會魔法的人，這孩子剛出生就注定要去。
He's going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry. And he'll be under the finest headmaster Hogwarts has seen, Albus Dumbledore.
他要去最好的學校，霍格沃茲魔法與巫術學校。現在的校長是霍格沃茲有史以來最好的，阿布思·鄧布利多。
I will not pay to have some crackpot old fool teach him magic tricks.
休想花我一分錢讓個瘋癲老傻瓜來教他變魔術。
Never insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me.
不許你在我面前侮辱阿布思·鄧布利多。
