Though both Dumbledore and Voldemort have used the Elder Wand, only one of them truly mastered it: Dumbledore. Though there has been a lot of violence surrounding such a powerful wand, such things are not necessary in order to possess it. Voldemort, however, believes that in order to truly master the wand, one needs to get rid of the previous owner. 
虽然邓布利多和伏地魔都使用过老魔杖,但只有一个人真正拥有它:邓布利多。尽管围绕着这样一根强大的魔杖发生了很多流血事件,但要拥有它并不需要这些东西。然而,伏地魔认为,要想真正掌握魔杖,就必须摆脱原来的主人。
According to JK Rowling herself, Dumbledore can understand the language of merpeople and goblins. Voldemort most likely cannot understand either of these languages. He would view any non-wizard magical creatures as beneath him and therefore would not consider learning their language. 
据JK罗琳自己说,邓布利多能听懂《哈利波特》中人鱼和妖精的语言。伏地魔很可能听不懂这两种语言。他认为任何非巫师的魔法生物都有失身份,因此不会考虑学习它们的语言。
Dumbledore, on the other hand, can see the value in all magical creatures. And would take delight in learning their languages. 
而邓布利多却能看到所有魔法生物的价值。并且乐于学习他们的语言。
Unlike the centaurs, Fawkes can't talk. Yet actions speak louder than words. Fawkes stays with Dumbledore for many years and only leaves Hogwarts for good when Dumbledore is gone. Fawkes would not be likely to trust Voldemort.
福克斯不能像马人一样说话。然而,事实胜于雄辩。福克斯和邓布利多一起生活了很多年,直到邓布利多离开霍格沃茨,它才永远地飞走了。福克斯不可能相信伏地魔。
Voldemort had tried many times to remain teaching at Hogwarts, but had failed. Dumbledore, who rose from teacher to headmaster at Hogwarts, possessed the wisdom, insight and empathy that Voldemort could never possess.
伏地魔曾多次申请留在霍格沃茨教书,却都失败了。而邓布利多在霍格沃茨从老师做到校长,他拥有智慧,洞察力和同理心,而伏地魔永远做不到这点。
