“Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. Precision, concentration, and unwavering will are paramount. Any lapse can lead to… unfortunate consequences.变形术是你在霍格沃茨学到的最复杂、最危险的魔法之一。精准、专注和坚定不移的意志是最重要的。任何失误都可能导致…不幸的后果” 她的声音清晰而冰冷,带着不容置疑的权威。她示范了将火柴变成针的动作,流畅、精准、毫不拖泥带水。
“Focus, Miss Smith! Your intent must be absolute! The image of the needle in your mind must be sharper than reality!集中注意力,史密斯小姐!你必须是非常专注的!你脑海中的针的形象必须比现实更清晰” 麦格教授严厉的声音在她身边响起,带着穿透力。
“Look! Look there, students! The constellation of Orion, the Hunter! See the three stars of his belt? Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka! And there, the red giant, Betelgeuse! Marvelous, isn’t it? The stories woven among the stars…同学们,快看!猎户座,猎人!看到他腰带上的三颗星了吗?阿尼塔,阿尼拉姆,明塔卡!还有红巨人,参宿四!是不是很壮丽?星星们纺织的故事......” 辛尼斯塔教授的声音充满了孩童般的兴奋和热情,他指着璀璨的星空,滔滔不绝地讲述着星座的神话传说和它们与古代魔法观测的联系。
“Up! UP! With feeling! Command your broomstick! Right hand over the handle, now shout ‘Up!’ like you mean it!起来,起来,指挥你的扫帚,右手放在扫帚把头上,叫它起来” 她来回巡视着,声音洪亮有力。
“You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making.你们是来学习制作魔药的精妙科学和艺术” 他的声音低沉、丝滑,却带着一种渗入骨髓的寒意,在安静得能听到坩埚里气泡破裂声的地下教室里回荡。“I expect… precision. I expect… obedience. I do not expect… abject incompetence.我期待准确,期待服从,我不期待无能” 他的目光有意无意地扫过教室后排,带着毫不掩饰的轻蔑。
