　　Professor McGonagall pulled out a lace¹ n. 饰带, 花边, 缎带【就是现在常常听到的所谓蕾丝咯。】" href="http://shop.hjenglish.com/shopadmin/vip/lesson_add.aspx###">lace handkerchief and dabbed² at her eyes beneath her spectacles³. Dumbledore gave a great sniff⁴ as he took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it. It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge. It must have made sense to Dumbledore, though, because he put it back in his pocket and said, "Hagrid's late. I suppose it was he who told you I'd be here, by the way?"
　　"Yes," said Professor McGonagall. "And I don't suppose you're going to tell me why you're here, of all places?"
　　"I've come to bring Harry⁵ to his aunt and uncle. They're the only family he has left now."
　　"You don't mean -- you can't mean the people who live here?" cried Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four. "Dumbledore -- you can't. I've been watching them all day. You couldn't find two people who are less like us. And they've got this son -- I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. Harry Potter come and live here!"
　　"It's the best place for him," said Dumbledore firmly. "His aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to him when he's older. I've written them a letter."
　　"A letter?" repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall. "Really, Dumbledore, you think you can explain all this in a letter? These people will never understand him! He'll be famous -- a legend -- I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter day in the future -- there will be books written about Harry -- every child in our world will know his name!"
