“I…I am very sorry for what I said yesterday, Amore. I…I was vile and callous and…hurtful, and I am very, very sorry, particularly because you are someone whom I…I care…deeply for. (我……我对昨天所说的话感到非常抱歉,爱茉尔。我……我的话刻薄、无情又伤人……,我真的非常非常抱歉,特别是因为你……你是我……我……深深在意的人。)
“The reality is, Amore, that I…I struggle deeply with…with some things that e easily for others. Things like…trust and…intimacy…and…and love…”(现实是,爱茉尔,我……我在……一些对其他人来说轻而易举的事情上……苦苦挣扎…… 这些事情……嗯……比如……信任和……亲密关系……以及……以及爱……”)
亲密关系?爱?
爱茉尔听得有些头晕。
“But I wanted you to know that, since you decided to stay at Hogwarts…, and to, perhaps…to stay…with me——”(但我想让你知道,自从你决定留在霍格沃茨,以及,或许……我希望……或许是为了留在我身边——)
教授顿了顿,好像觉得自己说错了什么话一样,抿了抿唇,才继续说下去。
“In any case, I wanted you to know that, since I had the honor of your pany, Amore, I——despite being the rotten, horrible, spiteful, loathsome villain I am——I have begun to learn how to…how to love.”(无论如何,我想让你知道,自从我有幸有了你的陪伴,爱茉尔,我——尽管我仍旧是一个腐烂、可怕、恶毒、令人厌恶的混蛋——我才开始学习如何……如何去爱。)
