" This? It is called a Pensieve, " said Dumbledore.

“这个吗？它叫冥想盆，”邓布利多说。

Harry recognised it at once - it was Dumbledore's Pensieve.

哈利一下认出来了--　邓布利多的冥想盆。

The light was coming from the Pensieve sitting on Snape's desk.

这块光斑是从摆在斯内普桌子上的冥想盆里发出来的。

The stone Pensieve lay in the cabinet where it had always been.

石头冥想盆还和往常一样放在柜子里。

" Voldemort? " said Dumbledore, looking at Harry over the Pensieve.

“伏地魔吗？”邓布利多隔着冥想盆望着哈利说。

He turned around. The light was coming from the Pensieve sitting on Snape's desk.

他转过身。这块光斑是从摆在斯内普桌子上的冥想盆里发出来的。

" You didn't see him when we got out of the Pensieve."

“你没看到我从冥想盆里出来时他是什么样子。”

At once, the floor of the office lurched, tipping Harry head-first into the Pensieve . . .

办公室的地板立刻倾侧过来，把哈利头朝下翻进了冥想盆。

Harry sat in silence once more, watching the contents of the Pensieve swirl.

哈利又沉默了，看着冥想盆里的物质在那里旋转。

Dumbledore walked back to the desk, placed the Pensieve upon it, and raised his wand to his own temple.

邓布利多回到他的办公桌前，把冥想盆放在桌子上，然后举起他的魔杖指向太阳穴。

" Er...could I ask you about...that court thing I was in...in the Pensieve? "

“嗯......我能不能问一下我在......在冥想盆里看到的......审讯的事？”

Harry got to his feet once more as Dumbledore emptied the last memory into the Pensieve.

邓布利多把最后一瓶记忆倒入冥想盆，哈利再次站了起来。

" My dad used it, " said Harry. " I saw him in the Pensieve, he used it on Snape."

“我爸爸用过它。”哈利说，“我在冥想盆里看到的，他对斯内普用过。”

But the Pensieve seemed to be asking his question for him.

但冥想盆似乎替他问了。

Harry walked the remaining few feet to the Pensieve and stood over it, gazing into its depths.

哈利朝冥想盆走完最后几步，站在盆边俯视着盆底。

He therefore plunged immediately into the story of what he had seen in the Pensieve.

所以他立刻讲起了自己在冥想盆里看到的事情。

He gave the contents of the Pensieve a small prod with the end of his wand.

他用魔杖尖轻轻戳了一下冥想盆里的物质。

Snape was standing with his back to Harry, removing, as usual, certain of his thoughts and placing them carefully in Dumbledore's Pensieve.

斯内普背对哈利站着，正像往常一样把自己的某些思想抽出来，小心地放进邓布利多的冥想盆里。

The silvery light from the Pensieve illuminated Dumbledore's face, and it struck Harry suddenly how very old he was looking.

冥想盆中的银光照亮了邓布利多的面庞。哈利突然发觉他是那样苍老。

Harry rose up out of the Pensieve, and moments later he lay on the carpeted floor in exactly the same rooms.

哈利慢慢地从冥想盆里升了上来。片刻之后，他躺在校长办公室的地毯上。
