精读 | 历史重演?!密室在未来会开启吗?

 预言家日报 2023-02-07 发布于北京
Surely at some point, this hidden room had been opened, even by accident. Those who can talk to snakes are rare but have always existed. 

在某个时刻,即使是偶然,这个隐藏的房间肯定被打开过了。能和蛇说话的人很少,但一直存在。

It's a surprise that no one had managed to enter the Chamber before Tom Riddle. 

奇怪的是,在汤姆·里德尔之前,居然没有一个人进过密室。

We know that the Chamber of Secrets was not completely destroyed, but is there any way to reuse it?

我们知道密室并没有完全被摧毁,但是有没有办法让它能被再次使用?

We don't know how easy it is to find another Basilisk, but there's every chance that in the future a student could try to take advantage of the Chamber and the secrets it holds. Hopefully, this will never happen, but history is usually cursed to repeat itself. 

我们不知道找到另一只蛇怪有多容易,但将来学生很有可能利用密室和密室里的秘密。希望这永远不会发生,但历史总是难逃重演的诅咒。

Salazar Slytherin was solely responsible for the creation of the Chamber, but the other three house leaders were also helping out with the design and construction of Hogwarts. It seems unlikely that absolutely none of them noticed a secret room in the designs. 

密室的建造完全由萨拉查·斯莱特林一人负责,其他三位院长也参与了霍格沃茨的设计和建造。他们似乎都没有注意到设计中有一个密室。

So did any of the other heads of houses and architects notice this additional Chamber, and did they just ignore it? Perhaps, ironic as it may be, all of the Hogwarts creators were aware of its existence but decided to turn a blind eye for unknown reasons. 

那么有没有其他的院长和建筑师注意到这个额外的房间,然后就忽略了呢?也许,讽刺的是,霍格沃茨的所有创造者都知道它的存在,但却不知为什么决定睁一只眼闭一只眼。
