"Oh yes," said Mr. Darsley, his heart sinking horribly. "Yes, I… I quite agree." He didn't say another word on the subject as they went upstairs to bed. While Mrs. Dursley was in the bathroom, Mr. Dursley crept to the bedroom window and peered down into the front garden. The cat was still there. It was staring up Privet Drive as though it was waiting for something. Was he imagining things? Could all this have anything to do with the Potters? If it did… if it got out that they were related to a pair of — well, he didn't think he could bear it. The Dursleys got into bed. Mrs. Dursley fell asleep quickly, but Mister Dursley lay awake, turning it all over in his mind. His last comforting thought before he fell asleep was that even if the Potters were involved, there was no reason for them to come near him and Mrs. Dursley. The Potters knew very well what he and Petunia thought about them and their kind.
“哦，是的，”達(dá)斯利先生說(shuō)，他的心沉了下去。“是的，我……我完全同意。”他們上樓睡覺(jué)時(shí)，他沒(méi)有再說(shuō)這個(gè)話題。當(dāng)?shù)滤级Y夫人在浴室時(shí)，德思禮先生偷偷溜到臥室的窗戶前，凝視著前花園。那只貓還在那里。它盯著女貞路，好像在等待什么。他是不是在幻想？這一切會(huì)不會(huì)和波特一家有關(guān)？如果是……如果傳出他們與一對(duì)夫婦有關(guān)系——嗯，他覺(jué)得自己無(wú)法忍受。德思禮一家上床睡覺(jué)。德思禮夫人很快就睡著了，但德思禮先生卻醒著，在腦子里反復(fù)思考著這一切。他入睡前最后一個(gè)安慰的想法是，即使波特一家參與其中，他們也沒(méi)有理由靠近他和德思禮夫人。波特一家很清楚他和佩妮對(duì)他們和他們那種人的看法。

He couldn't see how he and Petunia could get mixed up in anything that might be going on. He yawned and turned over. It couldn't affect them. How very wrong he was. Mr. Dursley might have been drifting into an uneasy sleep, but the cat on the wall outside was showing no sign of sleepiness. It was sitting as still as a statue, its eyes fixed unblinkingly on the far corner of Privet Drive. It didn't so much as quiver when a car door slammed in the next street, nor when two owls swooped overhead. In fact, it was nearly midnight before the cat moved at all. A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching. He appeared so suddenly and silently that he seemed to have popped out of the ground. The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed. Nothing like this man had ever been seen in Privet Drive. He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt.
他看不出他和佩妮怎么會(huì)卷入正在發(fā)生的一切。他打了個(gè)哈欠，翻了個(gè)身。這不會(huì)影響到他們。他真是大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。德思禮先生可能正昏昏欲睡，但外面墻上的那只貓卻沒(méi)有一絲睡意。它一動(dòng)不動(dòng)，像一尊雕像，眼睛一眨不眨地盯著女貞路遠(yuǎn)處的拐角處。旁邊一條街上一輛車的車門砰地關(guān)上，兩只貓頭鷹從頭頂飛過(guò)，它都沒(méi)有顫抖。事實(shí)上，直到快到午夜時(shí)分，那只貓才一動(dòng)不動(dòng)。一個(gè)男人出現(xiàn)在那只貓注視的拐角處。他出現(xiàn)得如此突然、如此安靜，仿佛是從地里冒出來(lái)的。那只貓的尾巴抽搐著，眼睛瞇了起來(lái)。在女貞路，從來(lái)沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)像這個(gè)人一樣的人。他又高又瘦，而且年紀(jì)很大，從他銀發(fā)和銀須可以看出來(lái)，他的胡子都長(zhǎng)得可以塞進(jìn)腰帶里。

he was wearing long robes, a purple cloak which swept the ground and high heeled buckled boots. His blue eyes were light bright and sparkling behind half moon spectacles, and his nose was very long and cooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore didn't seem to realise that he had just arrived in the street where everything from his name to his boots was unwelcome, he was busy rummaging in his cloak, looking for something, but he did seem to realise he was being watched because he looked up suddenly at the cat, which was still staring at him from the other end of the street for some reason, the sight of the cat seemed to amuse him.
他穿著長(zhǎng)袍，紫色的斗篷拖地，腳上穿著高跟帶扣靴。半月形眼鏡后面，他的藍(lán)眼睛明亮閃亮，鼻子又長(zhǎng)又彎，好像至少被打斷過(guò)兩次。這個(gè)人的名字叫阿不思·鄧布利多。阿不思·鄧布利多似乎沒(méi)有意識(shí)到他剛剛來(lái)到這條街上，從他的名字到他的靴子，一切都是不受歡迎的，他忙著在斗篷里翻找東西，但他似乎意識(shí)到有人在監(jiān)視他，因?yàn)樗蝗惶ь^看了看那只貓，不知為何，那只貓還在街道的另一頭盯著他看，這只貓似乎讓他覺(jué)得有趣。
