'I'll tell you why,' said Black, 'Because you never did anything for anyone unless you could see what was in it for you.
“我会告诉你为什么，”巴拉克说，“因为除非对你而言有好处可寻，否则你决不会为任何人做任何事。
Voldemort's been in hiding for twelve years, they say he's half-dead,

You weren't about to commit murder right under Albus Dumbledore's nose, for a wreck of a wizard who'd lost all his power, were you?

Pettigrew opened his mouth and closed it several times, he seemed to have lost the ability to talk. 'Er – Mr Black – Sirius?' said Hermione timidly.
彼德吉雷的嘴张开又合上了几次，他好像是已经不能讲话了。“哦，巴拉克先生——西里斯？”荷米恩胆怯地说。

Black was frowning slightly at Hermione, but not as though he was annoyed with her, he seemed to be pondering his answer.
