Wand Cores
魔杖芯
The following description of the powers and properties of the three main wand cores used by Mr Garrick Ollivander are taken from his own notes.
下列对于三种加里克·奥立凡德先生主要使用的魔杖芯的能量和特性的描述来自于奥立凡德先生的笔记。
Early in my career, as I watched my wandmaker father wrestling with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair, I conceived the ambition to discover the finest cores and to work only with those when my time came to take over the family business. This I have done. After much experimentation and research, I concluded that only three substances produce wands of the quality to which I am happy to give the illustrious name of Ollivander: unicorn hair, dragon heartstring and phoenix feather. Each of these costly and rare materials has its own distinct properties. The following represents a short summary of my researches into each of the three Supreme Cores. Readers should bear in mind that each wand is the composite of its wood, its core and the experience and nature of its owner; that tendencies of each may counterbalance or outweigh the other; so this can only be a very general overview of an immensely complex subject.
在我职业生涯的早期，当我看着我的魔杖制造师父亲和低于标准的魔杖芯材料，例如水怪鬃毛，挣扎时，我蕴含着在当我接下家族企业之后，去探索最好的芯然后只用那些芯来做魔杖的理想。这我已经完成了。在不断的实验和研究之下，我推断只有三种物质能够用来做出符合奥立凡德卓越名声和品质的魔杖：独角兽毛、龙心弦、和凤凰羽。这三种珍贵而稀有的材质各有特殊的属性。下面列出的是我对于这三种至上材质的研究的简短摘要。读者应该注意到每根魔杖都是魔杖木、芯、还有持有者本身的经验和本质的组成；每一个因素都有可能抵消或胜于其他因素；所以这只能当做一篇对于一门非常复杂的学问的简略综观。
Unicorn 独角兽
Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.
独角兽毛通常能够使出最一致的魔法，而最不会受到波动或者是封锁。有著独角兽毛芯的魔杖通常是最困难变成使用黑魔法的。他们对于持有者是所有魔杖中最忠诚的，而且通常会和第一位持有者一直有著强烈的链接，不管他或她是不是一位傑出的巫师或女巫。
Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.
独角兽毛稍微不利的地方在于他们通常不是最强力的魔杖(但是魔杖的木头可能可以补偿这点)，而且他们会在被强烈的粗暴对待时会倾於忧郁或沮丧，兽毛可能会「死亡」而需要替换。
Dragon 龙
As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.
标準来说，用龙的心弦做出的魔杖有著最强的能量，也能使用出最艷丽的咒语。龙心弦魔杖通常学习的比其他种魔杖快。它们在被赢走时会改变它们的忠诚，但是它们总是和现任的持有者有著最强烈的链接。
The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.
龙心弦魔杖比较容易被拿去使用黑魔法，但它本身並不会倾向黑魔法。它也是三种芯裡面最容易发生意外的，基於它有时候很有性格而捉摸不定。
Phoenix 凤凰
This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.
这是最稀有的魔杖芯。凤凰羽毛能够使用出最大范围种类的魔法，但它们可能比独角兽毛和龙芯弦需要更长的时间来显现这种特性。它们最主动，有时候会依照自己的想法行事，很多巫师和女巫並不喜欢这种特质。
Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.
凤凰羽毛魔杖在选择可能的持有者的时候是最挑剔的，因为凤凰本身就是最独立和与世隔绝的。要驾驭和个人化这些魔杖是最困难的，而它们的忠诚通常极为来之不易。
下回是魔杖长度&弹性。
