　　Gellert,

　　盖勒特，

　　Voldemort—that proved both alarming and most useful. I am not precisely sure how to thank you. We hadn't seen a peep of him for years—he's been operating so far underground—but I started watching the signs again—

　　伏地魔——你提供的消息很有价值，令人警醒。我真不知道如何表达我的谢意。我们已有很多年没有他的踪迹了——至今为止他一直在暗地里活动——但是最近我又发现了一些迹象——

　　But did you ever forget at all, I wonder? Or were you setting me up to lie to you, as you guessed so well I might?

　　不过，你真的曾经忘记过嘛，我很好奇？还是你就是等着我对你撒谎，就像你明知我会那么做的那样？

　　I was young, and foolish, and affectionate, caught up in your brilliance, and very much in lust. I cannot say whether I spoke the truth then either.

　　我那时年轻、愚蠢、深情，为你的才华着迷，在情欲上也不知节制。我也不知道当时那么说是否发自真心。

　　I cannot think what else to say to you. The Voldemort situation may become crucial—fatal—soon, and I do not know how much time I might have. But, Gellert, please believe you are free to owl me at any time.

　　我想我似乎没有别的事情同你讲了。伏地魔的处境形势很快就会变得至关重要——甚至是致命的——我不知道还有没有闲暇给你写信。但是，盖勒特，你一定要知道，你可以在任何时间写信给我。
