A moment later, Percy returned, followed by Mrs Figg.

片刻之后，珀西回来了，后面跟着费格太太。

" Yes, we can! " said Mrs Figg indignantly.

“能，我们能看见！”费格太太气愤地说。

But Mrs Figg had already set off at a trot, carpet slippers flopping, string bag clanking.

但是费格太太已经一溜小跑走远了，厚拖鞋啪嗒啪嗒，网袋丁丁当当。

" Bad news, Vernon, " she said. " Mrs. Figg's broken her leg. She can't take him."

“坏消息，弗农，”她说，“费格太太把腿摔断了，不能来接他了。”

" I'm a resident of Little Whinging, close to where Harry Potter lives." said Mrs Figg.

“我是小惠金区的居民，就住在哈利.波特家旁边。”费格太太说。

Every year, Harry was left behind with Mrs. Figg, a mad old lady who lived two streets away.

把哈利留给费格太太，一个住在离这里有两条街的疯老婆子。

" Yes, " said Mrs Figg, " I felt them."

“有，”费格太太说，“我感觉到了它们。”

" I'm a Squib, " said Mrs Figg, " So you wouldn't have me registered, would you? "

“我是个哑炮，”费格太太说，“所以你们不会登记我的名字，是不是？”

" That is what happened." Mrs Figg repeated.

“是当时发生的事情。”费格太太又说了一遍。

" Hurry up! " said Mrs Figg hysterically.

“快走！”费格太太心急火燎地说。

" He left! " said Mrs Figg, wringing her hands.

“他去了！”费格太太绞着自己的两只手说。

" Mrs. Figg's broken her leg. She can't take him."

“费格太太把腿摔断了，不能来接他了。”

" Full name? " said Fudge loudly, when Mrs Figg had perched herself nervously on the very edge of her seat.

“全名？”福吉大声问，这时费格太太刚刚战战兢兢地在椅子边缘坐下。

Mrs Figg tottered along in front of them, peering anxiously around the corner.

费格太太跌跌撞撞地走在他们前面，警惕地注视着拐角里的动静。

" I'll give you undercover! " cried Mrs Figg, " Dementors, you useless, skiving sneak thief! "

“去你的不暴露身份！”费格太太嚷道，“摄魂怪，你这个逃避责任的没用的大骗子！”

One day in July, Aunt Petunia took Dudley to London to buy his Smeltings uniform, leaving Harry at Mrs. Figg's.

七月的一天，佩妮姨妈带达力上伦敦，去给他买斯梅廷中学的校服，把哈利放在了费格太太家。

" Oh, " said Mrs Figg, the pink flush creeping up her neck now, " they were big. Big and wearing cloaks."

“噢，”费格太太说，现在红晕蔓延到她的脖子上了，“它们很大。很大，穿着斗篷。”

The whole house smelled of cabbage and Mrs. Figg made him look at photographs of all the cats she'd ever owned.

满屋子都是卷心菜味；费格太太还非要他看她过去养过的几只猫咪的照片。

Harry listened to a jingle about Fruit 'n' Bran breakfast cereal while he watched Mrs Figg, a batty cat-loving old lady from nearby Wisteria Walk, amble slowly past.

哈利听着一段关于水果麦麸营养早餐的广告短歌，一边望着费格太太——　住在离这儿不远的紫藤路上的一个脾气古怪、养着很多猫的老太太慢吞吞地走过去。

Mrs Figg was one thing—but Aunt Petunia?

费格太太倒也罢了——可是佩妮姨妈？
