Dear Gellert,
親愛的蓋勒特，
Thank you for your letter. When I think on it, I seem to recall youmenting once that no power in the world could stop me from being—I believe your words were—"a smug bastard." I'm afraid I remain as incorrigible as ever. I've been expecting an owl ever since our duel, and was hardly surprised to receive one. Indeed, I would have begun to worry in another year or two.
感謝你的來信。當我試圖領會它時，先是回想起你曾有一次稱這個世界上再沒有什麽能阻止我成為——我記得你是這樣說的——“一個自以為是的雜種”，可我恐怕還是那般無可救藥。我想，歷經過那場決鬥之後，你應該會向我來信，所以收到它時，我並不怎麽驚訝。實際上，要是再晚上一兩年，我就要開始擔心了。
I gave your owl a drying charm, a perch by Fawkes' fire, and three white mice. She's wonderfully well-tempered after such a flight. (And Fawkes himself is quite well. Not even you, adept as you are at such things, could kill him enough to be a problem, Gellert.) I am indeed still at Hogwarts, teaching Transfiguration, head of Gryffindor House, and Assistant Headmaster. I am perhaps somewhat less of an overachiever than I was when we first met. Still, I am indeed enjoying myself. The beginning of term has been quite busy, hence my slow response. It is a peculiar delight that October the 13th has been a quiet and peaceful day.
我給了你的貓頭鷹一個幹燥咒，一塊福克斯的棲木和三只小白鼠。在經歷過這樣一場飛行之後，她的脾氣仍然很溫和。（另外福克斯也很好，即使是你，也不至於傷他太深，蓋勒特。）我確實一直待在霍格沃茲，擔任變形課程的教授，現在是格蘭芬多的院長和校長助理。或許比起我們初遇時，我的確是沒什麽長進，但起碼能在享受生活。新學期的開始總是繁忙的，所以我回覆得很慢。10月13，一個平靜安寧的日子，陽光柔和而又斑斕。
So, yes, Gellert, I am not surprised. And this might, in turn,e as a surprise to you, but I do not hate you. I have said it before, I know, during our duel, and I say it again. Nor do I look down my nose at you, nor do I laugh at you. Do you find this difficult to understand I'm afraid I might find it difficult to explain. And it might simply be another symptom of being a smug bastard.
所以，是這樣，蓋勒特，我並不驚訝。而可能相反，我的回信才是在你意料之外吧。但我真的不恨你，這在之前就已經說過了。我記得，在我們決鬥的時候，我又強調過一次。我不是在蔑視你，更沒有嘲笑你。你覺得這很難以理解嗎？恐怕，我也意識到了解釋同樣費勁，這也許正證實了“一個自以為是的雜種”這句評價。
(Rest assured, speaking of said duel, that I am taking good care of It.)
（放心，說到決鬥，我一直好好保管著它。）
How are you spending your hours, when not contemplating nature You are, I hope,fortable, and allowed books as well as correspondence. Along those lines, actually, I have enclosed a book you might enjoy. Some fascinating refinements of Transfiguration theory came out of Wales in the twenties—you might well have missed it while you were off preparing to conquer Europe.
當不再靜心於自然的時候，你又是怎樣消磨時光的？我希望是舒適的，還能允許你伴著書籍和信件的竊語。說到這裏，嗯……我想我有本書你或許感興趣。是一些關於變形理論的改進，二十年代在威爾士出版的——也許你在準備征服歐洲的時候不巧錯過了它。
Regards,
附上誠摯的問候，

註：（你們可以不用聽我bb叨）
1.因為格皇因為阿不思的彬彬有禮而諷刺過他虛偽，所以鄧教我會相對翻譯得更柔和而有禮一些，盡量顯得他體貼又很會做人。實際上感覺鄧教是一個理智的戀愛腦（跟我一樣），有一種理性和感性在暗地裏廝殺的感覺。
2.“actually”一詞在這裏我認為是轉移話題的意思，所以翻譯作了語氣詞“嗯……”
3.一般英文裏不用縮寫的時候表達的是強調語氣，所以我在翻譯“我不恨你”這句的時候加了一個“真的”進去。
