It has been quite a while since our last encounter, and I genuinely hope that you have been keeping well. I have received all the letters you previously sent me, and I have to apologize for never responding. I am aware that you never ceased in your efforts to trace my steps and persuade me to return to Hogwarts. However, I must apologize again as my resolve remains unchanged. My convictions have never endured these ten years without falter. (许久未见,展信安。你之前寄来的信件我都有收到,很抱歉我从未回复。我知道你们从未放弃过搜寻我的踪迹并劝说我回到霍格沃茨,但很抱歉,我去意已决。我仍旧坚持我的想法,即便是十年后的现在,也不曾动摇过分毫。)
Maybe I can surmise your current thoughts, yet regrettably, I fear I can only leave you dissatisfied. I'd rather not reveal my current location for the time being, nor do I wish for you to trace my location through this correspondence letter —— though I hold faith in my own spells, who wouldn't desire to minimize complications? Rest assured, I am faring well, and there's no need for undue concern. (或许我可以猜测出你现在在想些什么,但恐怕只能让你失望了。我不会告诉你我现在在哪里,也不希望你们通过这封信来追踪我的位置——虽然我对自己的隐蔽手段抱有信心,但谁不愿少一些麻烦呢——我只能说,我一切都好,不必过多挂念。) 『翠绿色的墨水在羊皮纸上晕染开,最后一句话似乎被反复修改了多次』
In recent days, I was graciously bestowed the honour of an invitation to sojourn within an enchanting elven village, wherein a youthful elf maestro expertly crafted a melodious ode in my honour. The elf's voice was enchanting and the melodic tune was filled with emotions. I listened quietly to this song named "Forgiven", and it stirred up certain emotions that had been suppressed within me for a long time. Gradually, it converged into a long river of memories, taking my thoughts back to my youthful years. It made me recall various moments from the past, as if those weathered memories was still vividly replaying in my heart. I thought I had left behind all those past emotions, but I discovered that they had been deeply buried in a corner of my soul. I recorded this song using a recording crystal and presented it to my beloved, hoping that she would also appreciate this piece of music. (前几日有幸被邀请到一个夜精灵村庄留宿,在那里一位年轻的精灵大师娴熟地为我创作了一首优美的颂歌。精灵的嗓音十分钟悦耳,悠扬的曲调中饱含情感。我静静地聆听着这首被命名为《Forgiven》的歌曲,心中被压抑许久的某些情绪翻涌在心头,渐渐的汇聚成一条长长的回忆之河,将我的思绪带回年少的岁月。它让我回忆起一些过去的点点滴滴,那些斑驳的陈年记忆似乎依然鲜活地在我心中重演。我原以为我已将过去的一切感情抛却在过往,但是我却发现它一直被深深地埋藏在我内心的角落。我用录音水晶将这首歌曲录了下来并赠与我的恋人,并且希望这首歌曲也能取得她的喜爱。)
Within this letter, I wish to let my emotions flow silently through written words. While I have long resolved to forge ahead on my chosen journey unaccompanied, the flame of my affection for you burns unwaveringly. Despite the distance that separates us now, the memories we shared are deeply treasured, and a special place in my heart shall forever be preserved solely for you. (透过这封书信,我愿以无声的形式将我的一些情感化为文字流淌而出。尽管我早已决定继续在我认定的道路踽踽独行,但我深知我心中对你的爱意从未消退。纵然你我早已天各一方,但与往日无恙,我心中永远都有一个角落为你保留。)
Please forgive my abrupt departure. Within a cozy wooden cabin nestled deep in the icy wilderness, the hearth crackles and emits faint sizzling sounds, attempting to bring a semblance of warmth to this harsh winter. As the paper nears its end, I wish my dear Rona abundant success in all aspects of life, assuring her there is no need to worry about her dark wizard. (请原谅我的不辞而别。地处冰原深处的一间木屋里的炉火烧的正旺,发出些许滋滋的响声,试图为这个严冬带来些许微不足道的暖意。信纸快要写完了,最后祝愿我的罗娜万事胜意,无需为她的黑巫师担忧。)
Your Mr. dark wizard, (你的黑巫师先生,) Salazar Slytherin (萨拉查·斯莱特林)
