In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Remus Lupin teaches Harry how to conjure a Patronus charm, but his own Patronus is never seen.
在《哈利·波特与阿兹卡班的囚徒》中，莱姆斯·卢平教哈利如何变出守护神咒，但他自己的守护神却从未出现过。
The Patronus is important to a witch or wizard's identity: Harry's is a stag (like his father James' Patronus), and Snape's is a doe, which symbolizes his lifelong love for Lily Potter.
守护神对巫师的身份很重要：哈利的守护神是牡鹿(和父亲詹姆的守护神一样)，斯内普的守护神是一只牝鹿，象征着他对莉莉·波特一生的爱。
the Weasley twins both have magpies (hinting at the UK saying "one for sorrow, two for joy"In some local cultures, magpies are regarded as unlucky birds. According to the old superstition, the number of magpies a person sees will determine whether he meets misfortune or not. Specifically, the singular number indicates that something bad will happen, while the even number is a good thing. )
韦斯莱家的双胞胎都是喜鹊(暗示英国的说法“一代表悲伤 二代表欢乐”。在一些地区的文化中，喜鹊被认为是一种不吉祥的鸟，据古老迷信说法，一个人看到的喜鹊数量将会决定他是否遇到不幸。具体来说，单数预示将会发生不好的事情，双数则是好事)。
In Lupin's case, the answer is an obvious one: a wolf.
对卢平来说，答案很明显:狼。
When Remus was invited to teach at Hogwarts, only a handful of teachers knew he was a werewolf - no parents would want their children anywhere near one. In fact, Remus only accepted the position after Dumbledore promised him an endless supply of Wolfsbane Potion
当莱姆斯被邀请到霍格沃茨任教时，只有少数老师知道他是狼人——没有家长愿意让自己的孩子接近狼人。事实上，莱姆斯是在邓布利多答应给他源源不断的狼毒药水后才接受这个职位的。
It had always been Remus’ worst fear that he would kill while out of his right mind, and a school full of students was the worst place to be in this respect.
莱姆斯一直最害怕的就是他会在神志不清醒的时候杀人，而在这方面，满是学生的学校是最糟糕的地方。
Unfortunately, during his life, Remus had to hide his identity as a werewolf - and thus his wolf-shaped Patronus, too.
不幸的是，在他的一生中，莱姆斯不得不隐藏他狼人的身份——因此，他的狼形守护神也隐藏了起来。
After the death of Lily and James Potter, Remus returned to a lonely and miserable life, unable to find a job (fearing that people would find out about his illness).
莉莉和詹姆·波特去世后，莱姆斯又回到了孤独、痛苦的生活中，找不到工作(害怕人们发现他的病情)。
As J.K. Rowling wrote , "Everything wolfish disgusts him, and he often produces a non-corporeal Patronus deliberately, especially when others are watching."
正如J.K.罗琳所写的那样，“狼人的一切都令他厌恶，他经常故意变出一个无形的守护神，尤其是在别人看着的时候。”
Because he is used to people hating or avoiding him, Remus swung constantly between elation and terror of infecting Tonks with the stigma attached to him.
因为他已经习惯了人们讨厌或躲避他，在他们的婚姻中，莱姆斯一直在兴奋和恐惧之间摇摆，害怕唐克斯会被自己的耻辱所感染。
When Tonks got pregnant, Remus even ran away, unable to face the horrors of raising a son with lycanthropy. Eventually, Harry talked sense into him, and Lupin and Tonks stayed close together until their deaths.
唐克斯怀孕时，莱姆斯甚至逃跑了，因为他无法面对抚养一个会变成狼的儿子的恐惧。最后，哈利说服了他，卢平和唐克斯始终相守，直到他们死去。
In The Half-Blood Prince, Tonks' Patronus changes from a hare to a wolf, symbolizing her strong love for Remus. Perhaps this helped change how Remus viewed his own wolf Patronus, as someone else's love for him meant he could start loving himself, too.
在《混血王子》中，唐克斯的守护神从野兔变成了狼，象征着她对莱姆斯强烈的爱。也许这有助于改变莱姆斯对自己的狼守护神的看法，因为别人对他的爱意味着他也可以开始爱自己。
Rowling commented that "Lupin’s condition of lycanthropy was a metaphor for those illnesses that carry a stigma, like HIV and AIDS." Throughout the Harry Potter saga, Remus Lupin fights his affliction and shuns any reminder (including his Patronus) of the tragedy he's had to live through.
罗琳评论说:“卢平的狼人身份是对那些带有耻辱的疾病的隐喻，比如HIV和AIDS。”在《哈利·波特》系列故事中，莱姆斯·卢平一直在与痛苦作斗争，并避开任何提醒他不得不经历的悲剧的东西(包括他的守护神)。
