   In spite of the fact that, according to Beedle, two of the three objects are highly dangerous, in spite of the clear message that Death comes for us all in the end, a tiny minority of the wizarding community persists in believing that Beedle was sending them a coded message, which is the exact reverse of the one set down in ink, and that they alone are clever enough to understand it. 尽管如彼豆所说,那三件东西里有两件极端危险,而且故事的寓意很清楚:死神最终都会带走我们,但是巫师界有一小部分人仍始终相信,彼豆向他们传递了一个隐秘的信息,这个信息与白纸黑字写的正好相反,只有他们才有足够的智慧能够参透。

  Their theory (or perhaps “desperate hope” might be a more accurate term) is supported by little actual evidence. 他们的理论(也许用“迫切的希望”更为准确)背后并没有多少实际的证据。
  True Invisibility Cloaks, though rare, exist in this world of ours; however, the story makes it clear that Death's Cloak is of a uniquely durable1 nature. 真正的隐形衣,尽管稀罕,确实存在于我们的世界上,但是故事里说得很清楚,死神的隐形衣具有独特的耐久性。
  (Note 3: Invisibility Cloaks are not, generally, infallible. (注释三:一般来说,隐形衣并不是绝对可靠的。
  They may rip or grow opaque2 with age, of the charms placed upon them may wear off, or be countered by charms of revealment. 天长日久,它们会被撕裂或变得不透明,它们所承载的咒语会逐渐失效,或被暴露咒所抵消。
  This is why witches and wizards usually turn, in the first instance, to Disillusionment Charms for self-camouflage or concealment3. 因此,巫师想要伪装或隐藏,一般首先考虑使用幻身咒。
  Albus Dumbledore was known to be able to perform a Disillusionment Charm so powerful as to render himself invisible without the need for a Cloak. JKR) 据知,阿不思·邓布利多的幻身咒技艺十分高超,他不需要隐形衣就能使自己隐形——J.K。罗琳注)
  Through all the centuries that have intervened between Beedle's day and our own, nobody has ever claimed to have found Death's Cloak. 从彼豆讲故事的年代到我们今天,多少个世纪过去了,没有一个人声称找到了死神的隐形衣。
  This is explained away by true believers thus: either the third brother's descendants do not know where their Cloak came from, or they know and are determined4 to show their ancestor's wisdom by not trumpeting5 the fact. 因而诚笃的信徒是这样辩解的:老三的后人并不知道他们的隐形衣是从哪里来的,或者,他们决定表现出先人的智慧,不事张扬。
  Naturally enough, the stone has never been found, either. 很自然地,那块石头也始终没有找到。
  As I have already noted6 in the commentary for “Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump”, we remain incapable7 of raising the dead, and there is every reason to suppose that this will never happen. 正如我在《兔子巴比蒂和她的呱呱树桩》的评论里已经说过的,我们仍然无力起死回生,而且有足够的理由断定这种事情永远不会发生。
  Vile8 substitutions have, of course, been attempted by Dark wizards, who have created Inferi, (Note 4: Inferi are corpses9 reanimated by Dark Magic.) but these are ghastly puppets, not truly reawaken humans. 当然啦,黑巫师尝试了一些邪恶的替代品,制造出阴尸,(注释四:阴尸是被黑魔法唤醒的死尸——J.K。罗琳注)但阴尸并不是真正被唤醒的人,而是幽灵般的僵尸。
