When it comes to the world of Harry Potter, everything seems so magical and superior to muggle life that the fandom would much rather be sorted into a Hogwarts House and play Quidditch than deal with mundane things like traveling via car or airplane. But there are still many unsolved mysteries about the money in the magical world.
说到哈利波特的世界,一切似乎都是那么神奇,比麻瓜的生活更优越,影迷们宁愿被分进霍格沃茨魔法学院,玩魁地奇,也不愿处理像汽车或飞机旅行这样的琐事。但是关于魔法世界的金钱,还有许多未解之谜。
From the employees aboard the Hogwarts Express to the people who work for the Ministry of Magic to Hogwarts teachers themselves, how do witches and wizards make money in the world of Harry Potter?
从霍格沃茨特快列车上的员工,到魔法部的工作人员,再到霍格沃茨的教师,在哈利波特的世界里,巫师们是如何赚钱的呢?
We never hear about how much Harry's tuition runs at Hogwarts and there's no way it can be free. Harry doesn't have to pay to board the Hogwarts Express, and we don't really hear about taxes being collected. 
我们从来没有听说过哈利在霍格沃茨的学费有多少,也不可能是免费的。哈利登上霍格沃茨特快列车不需要付钱,我们也没有听说过征税。
Do goblins actually transfer a bunch of coins from one vault to another for direct deposits? That seems like it would take a lot of time and energy, especially heaving all of those coins from one vault to another through the tunnel system. 
妖精们真的会把一堆金币从一个金库直接转移到另一个金库吗?这似乎需要花费大量的时间和精力,特别是通过隧道系统将所有这些硬币从一个金库移到另一个金库。
