" Sorry, but what is a diadem? " asked Ron.

“对不起，什么是冠冕呀？”罗恩问。

" I stole the diadem from my mother."

“我从我母亲那里偷走了冠冕。”

" Yes, he's trying to re-create the lost diadem of Ravenclaw. "

是啊，他想再造一个拉文克劳的花冠。

" I stole the diadem." repeated Helena Ravenclaw in a whisper.

“我偷了冠冕，”海莲娜·拉文克劳又轻声说了一遍。

They seemed to have run out of earshot, searching for the diadem.

似乎他们已经为了找王冠跑出了听力范围之外了。

" Well, there's her lost diadem. I told you about it, remember, Harry? "

恩，是丢失的金冕。我告诉过你的，记得吗, 哈利？

" You are hardly the first student to covet the diadem." she said disdainfully.

“你不是第一个垂涎冠冕的学生，”她轻蔑地说。

A bloodlike substance, dark and tarry, seemed to be leaking from the diadem.

一种深色柏油样，像血的东西从王冠上渗出来。

" I know what the diadem looks like, and I know where it is, " said Harry, talking fast.

“我知道冠冕是什么样子了，也知道它在哪儿。”哈利快速地说。

Who could have told him where to look, when nobody had seen the diadem in living memory?

活着的人没有谁看到过那个王冠，是谁告诉他去哪里可以找到的？
