魔法

Of the Kirin Tor.The letter to Khadgar began, in a spidery hand, We regret to inform you of the sudden and unexpected

给卡德加的信用细长的字体写道：我们非常遗憾的通知你，魔法教师贾兹巴突然意外去世。

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.

没有人可以让你发现其中的牺牲者，他的儿子或女儿在火警谁或魔法占卜习俗，解读征兆，搞巫术，或者蒙上端、或者是一个中型或spiritist或被征询死亡。

We can believe that one can conjure useable items out of thin air (e.g.,"hundreds of squashy purple sleeping bags" [PA 9],"heavy manacles" [PA 19]), but there must then be a consistent reason why the Weasleys can't simply conjure up all the things that usually require money.

我们可以相信一个人能够从薄薄的空气中召唤出有用的东西[比如，"成百个紫色的睡袋"（囚徒第9章）、"沉重的手铐"（囚徒第19章）]，但这样的话，就应该有一个合适的理由解释为什么韦斯莱一家不能用魔法召唤那些通常需要用钱买的东西。

There's a market for human fetuses in the Dark Arts, and believe me, your mother had not a whit of your squeamishness.

黑魔法中有交易人类胎儿的事，相信我，你的母亲不是讨厌你的出生。

It would seem that the term "squib" is used for anyone whose magic powers are noticably lacking.

看来"哑炮"一词只是用在那些魔法能力十分低的人身上的。

STANDISH: We know you don't believe in magic.

我们知道你不相信魔法

STANDISH: We know you don't believe in magic, Mr.

我们知道你不相信魔法 Holmes先生

He forced himself not to break down as he remembered Dumbledore's funeral, and the rows and rows of golden chairs, and the Minister of Magic in the front row, the recitation of Dumbledore's achievements, the stateliness of the white marble tomb.

他逼着自己不要失去控制——因为他想起了邓不利多的葬礼：一排排金色的椅子，坐在前排的魔法部长，赞美邓布利多一生成就的颂诗，庄严的白色大理石墓。

They then learn the magic necessary for their station in life and that's about it.

然后，他们学了些和自己的职业相关的必要魔法，仅此而已。

Do you have any idea what the presence of his bloody steam engine does to my magickal abilities?

你知道他那台该死的蒸汽机一出现对我的魔法才能有多大的危害吗？

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
