混血王子

[10]"Of course you can," said Snape, sneering. "But in the meantime, bring us drinks. Some of the elf-made wine will do."

“你当然可以。”斯内普讥笑着说，“至于眼下嘛，你还是给我们端饮料吧。来一点儿小精灵酿的葡萄酒就行。”

[11]"The Dark Lord," he said, raising his glass and draining it.

“为了黑魔王。”他说着举起杯子，一饮而尽。

[12]"My apologies," said Snape. "He has lately taken to listening at doors, I don't know what he means by it... You were saying, Narcissa?"

“抱歉，”斯内普说，“他最近养成了爱偷听的毛病，真不明白他这么做是什么意思……你刚才说到哪儿了，纳西莎？”

[13]'"Present company'?" repeated Snape sardonically. "And what urn I to understand by that, Bellatrix?"

“‘眼前这个人’？”斯内普讥讽地重复道，“这话我该作何理解，贝拉特里克斯？”

[14]"Narcissa, I think we ought to hear what Bellatrix is bursting to say; it will save tedious interruptions. Well, continue, Bellatrix," said Snape. "Why is it that you do not trust me?"

“纳西莎，我认为我们最好听听贝拉特里克斯迫不及待地想说些什么，免得她没完没了地打搅我们。好了，你接着说吧，贝拉特里克斯，”斯内普说，“你为什么不相信我？”

[15]"Before I answer you — oh yes, Bellatrix, I am going to answer! You can carry my words back to the others who whisper behind my back, and carry false tales of my treachery to the Dark Lord! Before I answer you, I say, let me ask a question in turn. Do you really think that the Dark Lord has not asked me each and every one of those questions? And do you really think that, had I not been able to give satisfactory answers, I would be sitting here talking to you?"

“在我回答你之前——噢，没错，贝拉特里克斯，我是要回答你的！你可以把我的话转告给那些在背后议论我的人，可以把关于我叛变的不实之词汇报给黑魔王！但在我回答你之前，先让我问你一个问题。你真的认为黑魔王没有问过我这每一个问题吗？你真的认为，如果我没有给出令人满意的答案，我还能坐在这儿跟你说话吗？”
