ld only be drained away by drinking, and even though it isn’t immediately fatal, it induces a burning, insatiable thirst in the drinker, severe pain and weakness, hallucinations that force one to relive their worst fears, and a sense of intense despair and hopelessness, thus its name.”(翡翠药水,也称为绝望剂,是一种发光的绿色药水,无法用手渗透、无法消失、舀起、变形……或以任何方式改变其质。受害者只能通过饮用来使其消失。尽它不会立即致命,翡翠药水会让饮者产生无法满足的口渴感、极度的疼痛和虚弱、迫使饮者通过幻觉重温他们最深的恐惧,并导致最强烈的绝望,它因此而得名。)
爱茉尔想了想,抬看着他。
“The book doesn’t mention what its potential uses are, sir, but I imagine it is a powerful guard against intruders. By causing severe physical and mental torment, it probably acts well as a deterrent against anyone attempting to steal a treasure, its effects incapacitating or severely weaking any intruder.”(书中并没有提及药水的用途,先生,但我想,它可以有效防范入侵者。通过造成严重的和神折磨,它能对任何试图盗取某宝物的人起到很好的威慑作用,其效果能使一个人被严重削弱。)
少女偏着,又思考了片刻。
“Of course, it could also be used for…malicious purposes. Is there an antidote to the Emerald Potion, sir?”(当然,它也可被用于……恶。翡翠药水有解药吗,先生?)
汤姆合上书,问: “Care to hazard a guess, Miss Sayre?”(无妨猜一猜,瑟尔小姐。)
