你说爸爸在哪来着  费城
安德鲁  别转移话题
不好意思  我以为话题是有关说谎呢
我给爸爸打了电话  
我知道他搬出去了
这只不过是暂时的
我怕你们难过  我这么做是想保护你们
不管怎么说  你撒谎了
别装得跟个
圣人似的
安德鲁  我选择不告诉你们
我们的婚姻出了问题
并不意味着你有权利放肆
把我爸气走的事情呢  
加上这点够了吧

Where did you say dad was again? In Philadelphia?
Andrew, don't change the subject.
Sorry, I thought the subject was telling lies.
I called dad's cell phone.
I know he moved out.
Well, it's just temporary and...
...I thought it would upset you so I was protecting you.
Whatever. You lied.
So stop pretending like you have
some sort of moral authority.
Andrew, just because I chose not to
share my marital problems with you
doesn't give you the right to be rude.
How about driving my father away.
Do I get to be rude then?

There was a knock on the door of their compartment and the round-faced boy Harry had passed on platform nine and threequarters came in. He looked tearful.
“Sorry,” he said, “but have you seen a toad at all?”
When they shook their heads, he wailed, “I’ve lost him! He keeps getting away from me!”
“He’ll turn up,” said Harry.
“Yes,” said the boy miserably. “Well, if you see him . . .”
He left.
“Don’t know why he’s so bothered,” said Ron. “If I’d brought a toad I’d lose it as quick as I could. Mind you, I brought Scabbers, so I can’t talk.”
The rat was still snoozing on Ron’s lap.
“He might have died and you wouldn’t know the difference,” said Ron in disgust. “I tried to turn him yellow yesterday to make him more interesting, but the spell didn’t work. I’ll show you, look . . .”

又有人敲他们的隔闻门。与哈利在934 站台擦肩而过的圆脸男孩走进来，满眼含泪。“对不起，”他说，“我想问问，你看见我的蟾蜍了吗?” 哈利和罗恩都摇摇头，他就大哭起来。“我又把它弄丢了!它总想从我身边跑掉!”“它会回来的。”哈利说。

　　“是啊，”孩子伤心地说，“那么，要是你们看见..”

　　他走了。

　　“我不明白，他为什么这么着急。”罗恩说，“我要是买了一只蟾蜍，我会想办法尽快把它弄丢，越快越好。不过我既然带了斑斑，也就没话可说了。”

　　老鼠还在罗恩的腿上打盹。

　　“它说不定早死了，反正死活都一样。”罗恩厌烦地说，“我昨天试着想把它变成黄色的，变得好玩一些，可是我的咒语不灵。我现在来做给你看看，注意了..”

别人可能会听你的话，除非他们感受到你的态度。
