你希望你能拥有什么样的魔法道具
If you were to accidentally find yourself in Diagon Alley, what magical object would you immediately try to find? Based on your personality, we have made some assessments.
如果你意外地发现自己在对角巷，什么魔法道具是你想立即尝试去寻找的？根据你的性格，我们会做一些评估。
PS: We’d automatically assume you’d like a wand – so just pretend we’ve given you one of those already.
PS：我们自动假设你想要一根魔杖，所以只要假装我们已经给了你一根魔杖了。
If you’re adventurous... you’d have a broomstick!
如果你非常的具有冒险精神，那么你将会有一把飞天扫帚！
If you’re the outdoorsy type or enjoy Muggle sports (which sadly, usually take place on the ground) we imagine you’d love to get your hands on a Firebolt or a Nimbus 2000, or even just a Cleansweep Seven – anything to be quite literally whisked off your feet. The broomstick is one of the most sought-after wizarding world items, of course, so we imagine many of you would immediately pick this. You may not even fancy playing Quidditch, but simply want to go exploring.
如果你喜欢户外类型的运动，或者喜欢麻瓜们也喜欢运动（可惜的是，它们通常都是在地面上才能运动的）我们想象你会喜欢得到火闪电或光轮2000，甚至只是一个横扫系列—任何东西都可以从你的脚上迅速带走。飞天扫帚当然是巫师世界最抢手的物品之一，所以我们想你们中的许多人会立即选择它。你甚至可能不喜欢玩魁地奇，只是单纯地想去探险和发现。
In Diagon Alley, crowds of young wizards are usually found gazing in wonder outside Quality Quidditch Supplies’ window – and really, who can blame them? So, if you adore the outdoors and have a taste for adventure, we imagine you’d immediately be shouting “up” and flying off somewhere nice with your very own broom.
You can read all about brooms and the magical sport in our Quidditch hub.
在对角巷，经常可以看到成群的年轻巫师好奇地凝视着魁地奇优质供应品的橱窗——以及说真的，谁又能责怪他们呢？所以，如果你喜欢户外活动，喜欢冒险，我们可以想象你会立刻大喊“起来”，并且带着自己的飞天扫帚飞到某个好地方。
If you’re solitary... you’d have the Invisibility Cloak
如果你喜欢独来独往....你会有隐形斗篷
Do you relish those stolen, quiet moments where, basically, everyone gives you a little peace? Then you’d likely enjoy the Invisibility Cloak; an opportunity to be perfectly inconspicuous. Think of how lovely it would be, after a hard day, to simply slip the cloak over your head and be left to your own devices. You could go anywhere without being bothered, no small-talk, nobody giving you leaflets. Harry usually used his cloak for solving mysteries or hiding from undesirable wizards. We would most likely use ours for when we wanted a time out at parties.
你是否喜欢那些偷来的，安静的时刻，基本上每个人都给你一点安宁？你可能会享受隐形斗篷，一个完美的不显眼的机会。想想看，在辛苦的一天之后，简单地把斗篷披在头上，卸下洗净所有的防备，该是有多么幸福和满足。你可以去任何地方而不被打扰，没有闲聊，没有人给你传单。哈利通常用他的斗篷来解决谜团或者躲避不受欢迎的巫师。当我们想出去参加聚会的时候，我们很可能会用我们自己的。
If you worry a lot... you’d have a Sneakoscope
如果你是个多虑的人，你会有一个偷窥镜
This one is perhaps arguable – as the Sneakoscope is a device that whizzes around furiously if there’s someone untrustworthy nearby. Perhaps, if you’re someone with a tendency to over-worry, a Sneakoscope would make you worry more? Or perhaps you would feel validated, and prefer knowing that there is something to worry about? Nonetheless, a Sneakoscope may not relieve your anxieties, but at least you’d have a heads up that your concerns weren’t all in your head.
这个道具或许是饱受争议的——因为“偷窥镜”是一种如果附近有不值得信任的人，它会疯狂地四处游荡的设备。也许，如果你是一个过度多虑的人，一个偷窥镜会让你更加担心？或者也许你会觉得被认可，更愿意知道有什么事情需要担心？尽管如此，一个偷窥镜可能不会减轻你的焦虑，但至少你会有一个警示，你的担心并不都在你的头上。
If you like to put on a show... you’d have enchanted fireworks
如果你喜欢表演的话...你会有魔法烟花
Sometimes, Muggle inventions make their way into the wizarding world, but with some major enhancements.
A good example of this is fireworks – which are bigger, brighter and far more animated than ours. There are different brands available, such as Dr Filibuster’s range, but don’t forget that the Weasley twins also have their own brand (Weasleys’ Wildfire Whiz-bangs) which they used to great, dramatic effect upon their epic exit from Hogwarts in Order of the Phoenix. A great way to advertise their products, too. Unlike our little Catherine wheels and paltry rockets, the Weasley twins’ fireworks were described as ‘pyrotechnical miracles’ and included sparkly dragons and never-ending firecrackers.
So, next time you want to dramatically leave a room, kind of like how Fred and George did, these would definitely turn a few heads.
有时候，麻瓜的发明也会进入魔法世界，不过会有一些重大的改进。
一个很好的例子就是烟花——它比我们的更大，更明亮，也更有好看。有不同的品牌可供选择，例如菲利巴斯特博士的系列，但不要忘记韦斯莱兄弟也有自己的品牌（韦斯莱的野火whiz-bangs），他们使用了伟大的，戏剧性的影响，他们史诗般的退出霍格沃茨的凤凰社。这也是为他们的产品做广告的好方法。与我们的小凯瑟琳轮子和简陋的火箭不同，韦斯莱兄弟的烟花被描述为“烟火奇迹”，包括闪闪发光的龙和永不休止的鞭炮
所以，下次当你想戏剧性地离开一个房间，就像弗雷德和乔治那样，这些东西肯定会让你大吃一惊。
If you love to travel... you’d have a Portkey
如果你热爱旅行，你将会拥有一个门钥匙
Perhaps one of the most enviable elements of the wizarding world is that the community simply have far better public transport options than us. Even the Hogwarts Express has a far better food trolley than most of our Muggle ones.
Strictly speaking, a Portkey is usually an ordinary object, like a boot or a bucket, but placed with an enchantment to take you somewhere specific. This is how Harry got to the Quidditch World Cup, for example. Think of the possibilities you, a fervent traveller could have, with such an item always at your disposal. No admin, lugging heavy luggage or long plane flights required! Just imagine tapping a toaster and turning up in Thailand. Or patting a pencil and popping up in Peru. Or grabbing a guitar and galivanting off to Greece. Well, you get the idea.
也许魔法世界中最令人羡慕的元素之一就是社区的公共交通选择比我们好得多。就连霍格沃茨特快车也有比我们大多数麻瓜车更好的餐车。
严格地说，门钥匙通常是一个普通的物体，像一只靴子或一个水桶，但与一个附魔放置带你到特定的地方。比如，哈利就是这样进到魁地奇世界杯的。想想可能性，你是一个热情的旅行者，有这样的东西随时听候你的吩咐。没有人管你，拖着沉重的行李或长途飞机飞行需要！想象一下，敲开一个烤面包机，然后出现在泰国。或者拍着铅笔突然出现在秘鲁。或者抱着吉他去希腊。我觉得你懂的。
If you’re a perfectionist... you’d have a Time-Turner
如果你是一个完美主义者，你将会有一个时间转换器
Have you ever thought of the absolute perfect comeback to say to someone who said something rude to you one time? Except you thought of it six days later? Now, with a Time-Turner, you could actually go back and say that incredibly witty thing to that man who barged into you at the post office. In fact, you could pop back whenever you wanted inside your own timeline and sort out all manner of minor mistakes you’ve made along the way. Finally! That garbled way you asked out that person you fancied could be rectified! You never dropped and smashed that entire jar of pasta sauce in the supermarket! You wouldn’t want to change anything too major, though – time travel is very complicated business. Just ask Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy.
你有没有想过对某个曾经对你说过粗鲁话的人来一句绝对完美的反击？除了你是六天后才想起来的现在，有了时光转换器，你可以回到过去，对那个在邮局闯进你的人说一些机智的反击的话。事实上，你可以随时回到你自己的时间线里，整理出你一路上犯下的所有小错误。最后！你约那个你喜欢的人出去的混乱方式是可以纠正的！你从没在超市摔碎过一整罐意大利面酱！你不会想改变什么太大的，虽然-时间旅行是非常复杂的生意。问问阿不思·波特和斯科皮·马尔福就知道了。
If you appreciate the finer details in life... you’d have some Omnioculars
如果你会欣赏生活中的处处细节...你会有一双全景望远镜
Ominoculars appear to be like Muggle binoculars but with far better features, basically. Harry learnt this when he acquired some at the Quidditch World Cup.
So how would you use them? Perhaps you’re a keen photographer. Maybe you need a better pair of glasses, but you’ve not bothered sorting your subscription yet. But really, these Ominoculars would be perfect for anyone simply wanting to study their surroundings in excellent definition.
And the best part of Ominoculars is that you can rewind things you have just seen and watch them over again. For example, you could relive a nice sunset or rewatch the moment a baby takes their first steps. Ron used this feature to... watch someone pick their nose. But maybe you appreciate the finer things in life.
全景望远镜看起来像麻瓜望远镜，但基本上有更好的功能。哈利在魁地奇世界杯上学到了这一点。
那么你该如何使用它们呢？也许你是个敏锐的摄影师。也许你需要一副更好的眼镜，但是你还没有为你的订阅分类烦恼。但真的，这些事情全景望远镜来处理将是完美的，任何人只是想研究他们的周围那些出色的定义。
最棒的部分是，你可以回看你刚刚看到的东西，再看一遍。例如，你可以重温一次美丽的日落，或者重新观看婴儿迈出第一步的瞬间。罗恩曾经用这个功能...看别人挖鼻子。但也许你会欣赏生活中更加美好的事物。
If you’re a little scatty... you’d have a Remembrall
如果你有一点健忘...你会有一个记忆球
We’ve all been in the shoes of a young Neville Longbottom, who had quite the reputation for being forgetful. This handy device, essentially a glowing orb that turns red when your mind fails you, was good for Neville – although didn’t actually tell him about the thing he’d forgotten. Still, we imagine this item would be ideal every moment you leave the house and realise you’ve left your keys, wallet or phone behind. Or perhaps it would simply never stop glowing – driving you a little bit mad. Still, we’d take it over the alternative.
我们都经历过年轻的纳威隆巴顿，他以健忘闻名。这个方便的装置，本质上是一个发光的球体，当你的思维失灵时，它会变成红色，这对纳威很有好处——尽管它并没有告诉纳威他忘记了什么。尽管如此，我们仍然认为，当你离开家，意识到你忘了带钥匙、钱包或手机的时候，这是理想的选择。但是，它只是永远不会停止发光——让你有点抓狂。不过，我们还是会选择它。
