催狂魔與巧克力
By J.K.Rowling
巧克力改善情緒的性質在麻瓜與巫師界皆為人所知。對於任何在催狂魔的侵襲下被吸乾周遭的希望與快樂的人來說,巧克力是完美的解憂劑。
然而,巧克力只能當作短期的療法。如果一個人要持久的快樂起來,找到擊倒催狂魔---或憂鬱症---的方法是非常關鍵的。過量攝取巧克力並無法為麻瓜或巫師帶來任何好處。
The mood-enhancing properties of chocolate are well known in both the Muggle and wizard worlds. Chocolate is the perfect antidote for anyone who has been overcome in the presence of Dementors, which suck hope and happiness out of their surroundings.
Chocolate can only be a short-term remedy, however. Finding ways to fight off Dementors – or depression – are essential if one is to become permanently happier. Excessive chocolate consumption cannot benefit either Muggle or wizard.
antidote應該翻作解毒劑,但我還是選擇把它翻作解憂劑。因為它一次的時間真的撐不久。
