영어공부 #30 해리포터와 마법사의 돌 Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone - 소망의 거울에 대해 대화하는 덤블도어 교수와 해리

(EMPTY CLASSROOM - NIGHT)
Harry sits before the mirror, transfixed.

DUMBLEDORE : Back again, Harry? I see that you -- like so many before you -- have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised. I trust by now you realize what it does.

 

DUMBLEDORE : Let me give you a clue. The happiest man on earth would look into the mirror and see only himself exactly as he is.

 

HARRY : So, then, it shows us what we want? Whatever we want?

 

DUMBLEDORE : Yes and no. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest and most desperate desires of our hearts. Now you, Harry, who have never known your family, you see them standing beside you. But I remember this, Harry. This mirror gives us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away in front of it. Even gone mad. That is why tomorrow, it will be moved to a new home. And I must ask you ... not to go looking for it again. It does not do to dwell on dreams Harry, and forget to live.
