“I told you, every time he got close to letting something slip, he started banging his head against the wall.”

“我刚才说了，每次他快要吐露出什么时，就拿脑袋撞墙。”

" I don't think he could, " said Harry. " I told you, every time he got close to letting something slip, he started banging his head against the wall."

“我想他是不能说。”哈利说，“我刚才说了，每次他快要吐露出什么时，就拿脑袋撞墙。”

“I mean… if somebody made a mistake, ” Harry went on, “and let something slip, I know they didn't mean to do it. It's not their fault, ” he repeated, again a little louder than he would usually have spoken.

“我的意思是… … 如果有人犯了个错误，”哈利接着说，“说漏了嘴，我知道他们本意不是如此。这不是他们的错，”他重复着，比他平时的声音稍微大一些。
