" Hmm? " She was curled up in one of the sagging armchairs with The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

“嗯？”她捧着《游吟诗人比德的故事》蜷缩在一张松垂了的扶手椅上。

Would you believe it? — until she came to London she'd never seen a black beedle.

你会相信吗？——在她来伦敦之前， 她从未见过一只黑色的甲壳虫。

Here Ma always gave a little laugh, as though — not to have seen a black beedle!

说到这里，妈总是轻笑一声， 就好像——没见过黑甲虫似的！

Nobody could have told him The Tales of Beedle the Bard when he was a child, any more than Harry had heard them.

在他小时候没人能给他讲《吟游诗人比德的传说》里的故事，他不可能比哈利知道的更多。

" 'To Miss Hermione Jean Granger, I leave my copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in the hope that she will find it entertaining and instructive.' "

“将我的《游吟诗人比伯的故事》这本书留给赫敏。吉恩。格兰杰小姐，希望她能从中得到乐趣和知识。”

Our dramatic fiasco notwithstanding, 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune' is probably the most popular of Beedle's tales, although, just like 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot', it has its detractors.

尽管我们的演出以惨败收场，但《好运泉》大概是彼豆故事里最受欢迎的一个故事，不过它像《巫 师和跳跳埚》一样，也遭到了一些人的诋毁。

This particularly infuriated Hermione, who was whiling away the wait for Kreacher by studying The Tales of Beedle the Bard and did not appreciate the way the lights kept flashing on and off.

这很明显地惹恼了正在读吟游诗人比德的故事的赫敏，她并不怎么喜欢灯光的忽明忽灭。

That said, “The Warlock's Hairy Heart” is by far the most gruesome of Beedle's offerings, and many parents do not share it with their children until they think they are old enough not to suffer nightmares.

也就是说，《男巫的毛心脏》绝对是彼豆作品中最令人毛骨悚然的一个故事，许多父母一直等到自己的孩子长大到不至于做噩梦的时候才会讲给他们听。
