That's Dad's boss!
“那是我爸的上司！”
Ron breathed. "Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic!"
罗恩喘着气说，“康奈利·福吉，魔法部部长！”
Harry elbowed Ron hard to make him shut up.
哈利用胳膊肘使劲捣了捣罗恩，让他闭嘴。
Hagrid had gone pale and sweaty.
海格一下子脸色煞白，脑门上开始出汗。
He dropped into one of his chairs and looked from Dumbledore to Cornelius Fudge.
他跌坐进一把椅子里，看看邓布利多，又看看康奈利·福吉。
Bad business, Hagrid, said Fudge in rather clipped tones. "Very bad business. Had to come.
“真糟糕，海格，”福吉用一种清脆快速的语调说，“非常糟糕，我们不得不来。
Four attacks on Muggle-borns. Things've gone far enough. Ministry's got to act."
在麻瓜身上发生了四起攻击事件，太过分了，魔法部必须采取行动。”
I never, said Hagrid, looking imploringly at Dumbledore.
“我没有，”海格恳求地望着邓布利多，
"You know I never, Professor Dumbledore, sir ... "
“你知道我没有，邓布利多教授，先生……”
I want it understood, Cornelius, that Hagrid has my full confidence, said Dumbledore, frowning at Fudge.
“我希望你明白，康奈利，我是完全信任海格的。”邓布利多对福吉皱着眉头说道。
Look, Albus, said Fudge, uncomfortably. "Hagrid's record's against him.
“可是你瞧，阿不思，”福吉很不自然地说，“海格的前科记录对他非常不利啊。
Ministry's got to do something — the school governors have been in touch."
魔法部不得不采取一些措施——已经和校董事会取得了联系。”
Yet again, Cornelius, I tell you that taking Hagrid away will not help in the slightest, said Dumbledore.
“不过康奈利，我还是要告诉你——把海格带走根本无济于事。”邓布利多说。
His blue eyes were full of a fire Harry had never seen before.
他的蓝眼睛里闪烁着哈利从未见过的怒火。
Look at it from my point of view, said Fudge, fidgeting with his bowler. "I'm under a lot of pressure.
“你从我的角度看一看吧，”福吉说，手里玩弄着他的礼帽，“我压力很大呀。
Got to be seen to be doing something.
必须做点什么才行。
If it turns out it wasn't Hagrid, he'll be back and no more said.
如果最后查出来不是海格，他还会回来的，一句话也没有。
But I've got to take him. Got to. Wouldn't be doing my duty"
可是我不得不把他带走。我难道不该履行自己的职责”
Take me? said Hagrid, who was trembling. "Take me where?"
“把我带走？”海格说，他浑身瑟瑟发抖，“带到哪儿？”
