原文:
"Hagrid's bringing him."
"You think it — wise — to trust Hagrid with something as important as this?"
"I'm not saying his heart isn't in the right place," said Professor McGonagall grudgingly, "but you can't pretend he's not careless. He does tend to — what was that?"
A low rumbling sound had broken the silence around them. It grew steadily louder as they looked up and down the street for some sign of a headlight; it swelled to a roar as they both looked up at the sky — and a huge motorcycle fell out of the air and landed on the road in front of them.
If the motorcycle was huge, it was nothing to the man sitting astride it. He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild — long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets.
译文:
“一封信?”麦格教授有气无力地重复说,又坐回到墙头上。“邓布利多,您当真认为用一封信您就能把一切都解释清楚吗?这些人永远也不会理解他的!他会成名的——一个传奇人物——如果将来有一天把今天定为哈利?波特日,我一点儿也不会觉得奇怪——会有许多写哈利的书——我们世界里的每一个孩子都会知道他的名字!”
麦格教授张开嘴,改变了看法。她咽了口唾沫,接着说:“是啊——是啊,当然您是对的。可怎么把孩子弄到这里来呢,邓布利?”她突然朝他的斗篷看了一眼,好像他会把哈利藏在斗篷里。
“海格会把他带到这里来。”
“我不是说他心术不正,”麦格教授不以为然地说,“可是您不能不看到他很粗心。他总是——那是什么声音?”
一阵低沉的隆隆声划破了周围的寂静。当他们来回搜索街道上是否有汽车前灯的灯光时,响声越来越大,最后变成一阵吼叫。他们抬眼望着天空,只见一辆巨型摩托自天丽降,停在他们面前的街道上。
如果说摩托是一辆巨型摩托,那么骑车人就更不在话下了。那人比普通人高一倍,宽度至少有五倍,似乎显得出奇地高大,而且粗野——纠结在一起的乱蓬蓬的黑色长发和胡须几乎遮住了大部分脸庞,那双手有垃圾桶盖那么大,一双穿着皮靴的脚像两只小海豚。他那肌肉发达的粗壮双臂抱着一卷毛毯。
