Centaurs are half-man, half-horse, and are classified as ‘beasts’ by the Ministry Of Magic. Despite that, they claim to be more intelligent than humans, and they take insults to heart.
马人是半人半马，被魔法部归为“野兽”。尽管如此，它们声称自己比人类更聪明，而且会把对它们的侮辱牢牢记住。
The main reason these creatures seem so powerful, aside from that scene, is their intelligence though. Centaurs spend years practicing the art of Divination because they want to know the fates, and it seems that they actually can.
这些生物看起来如此强大的主要原因是它们的智慧。马人花了数年时间练习占卜的艺术，因为他们想了解命运，而且他们好像真的能做到。
They actually do seem to know some eerie things and allude to them around Harry, particularly Firenze.
他们似乎确实知道一些可怕的事情，并在哈利身边暗中预言，尤其是费伦泽。
For most of a month, werewolves are harmless. They exist as human beings, and most of them live a quiet life. If no one said, few people would have guessed that Remus Lupin was a werewolf. Werewolves like Fenrir Greyback are quite another matter.
一个月的大部分时间里，狼人都是无害的。他们以人类的身份存在，大多数过着平静的生活。如果没人说，很少人会猜到莱姆斯·卢平是狼人。像芬里尔·格雷伯克这样的狼人就完全是另一回事了。
Werewolves during the full moon become a beast with no conscience or memory, who only want to attack and kill.
狼人在满月的时候变成了没有良知和记忆的野兽，他们只想攻击和杀戮。
Dementors are not much bigger than people, but they can absorb people's soul and spiritual strength.
摄魂怪的体型比人大不了多少，但它们会吸取人的灵魂和精神力量。
They are used to guard the wizard Azkaban prison. They can not only make a person depressed instantly, but also make them relive their worst memories in the case of severe trauma.
它们是用来看守巫师阿兹卡班监狱的。它们不仅能让一个人瞬间沮丧，在遭受严重创伤的情况下，还能让他们重温最糟糕的记忆。
The life of the soul-sucking person will be in danger if he can’t conjure a patronus.
如果不能召唤守护神，被吸取灵魂的人就会有生命危险。
