'Haven't I already told you,' said Riddle quietly, 'that killing Mudbloods doesn't matter to me any more?

'Imagine how angry I was when the next time my diary was opened, it was Ginny who was writing to me, not you.
“当我的日记又一次被打开时，在上面写字的居然是金妮，而不是你，你想象一下我是多么恼火吧。
She saw you with the diary, you see, and panicked.
你知道吗，她看见日记到了你手里，非常紧张。
What if you found out how to work it, and I repeated all her secrets to you?
万一你发现了日记的使用方法，我把她的秘密都透露给你呢？
What if, even worse, I told you who'd been strangling roosters?

So the foolish little brat waited until your dormitory was deserted and stole it back.

From everything Ginny had told me about you,

And Ginny had told me the whole school was buzzing because you could speak Parseltongue...
金妮曾经告诉过我，大家纷纷议论你会说蛇佬腔，整个学校都炸开了锅……

She struggled and cried and became very boring.

But there isn't much life left in her: she put too much into the diary, into me.
但是她身体里已经没有多少生命了——她把大部分生命都注入了日记，注入到我身上，
Enough to let me leave its pages at last.

I have been waiting for you to appear since we arrived here.

I have many questions for you, Harry Potter.'
