“He didn'!” he growled at Hermione.
“是真的吗？”他看着赫敏吼道。
“He did,” she said.
“是的，”她说，
“But I don't know what it means.
“可我不知道那是什么意思。当然，
I could tell it was really rude, of course —”

“It's about the most insulting thing he could think of,” gasped Ron, coming back up.
“这是他能想到的最侮辱人的话，”罗恩又露出头来，气喘吁吁地说，
“Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who is Muggle-born—you know, non-magic parents.
“泥巴种是对麻瓜出身的人——也就是父母都不会魔法的人的诬蔑性的称呼。
There are some wizards—like Malfoy's family—who think they're better than everyone else because they're what people call pure-blood.”
有些巫师，像马尔福一家，总觉得他们比其他人优越，因为他们是所谓的纯种。”

Look at Neville Longbottom—he's pure-blood and he can hardly stand a cauldron the right way up.”
你看纳威隆巴顿——他是个纯种，可他连坩埚都放不正确。”
“An' they haven't invented a spell our Hermione can' do,” said Hagrid proudly, making Hermione go a brilliant shade of magenta.
“咱们赫敏不会使的魔咒，他们还没发明出来呢！”海格自豪地说，赫敏羞得脸上红艳艳的。
“It's a disgusting thing to call someone,” said Ron, wiping his sweaty brow with a shaking hand.
“这是个很难听的称呼，”罗恩用颤抖的手擦了擦额头上的汗水，说，
“Dirty blood, see. Common blood. It's ridiculous.
“意思是肮脏的、劣等的血统。全是疯话。
Most wizards these days are half-blood anyway.
现在大部分巫师都是混血的。
If we hadn't married Muggles we'd've died out.”
要是不和麻瓜通婚，我们早就绝种了。”
