its nature in any way. It could 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，也称为绝望剂，是一发光的绿药，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，翡翠药会让饮者产生无法满足的渴、极度的疼痛和虚弱、迫使饮者通过幻觉重温他们最的恐惧，并导致最烈的绝望，它因此而得名。）

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.”（书中并没有提及药的用途，先生，但我想，它可以有效防范侵者。通过造成严重的和神折磨，它能对任何试图盗取某宝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。）

“Hmm…Phoenix Tears to counter the Essence of Boggart, perhaps 3 or 4 drops. A good dose of the Calming Draught for the suffocation caused by Lethifold Slime. Generous amounts of Dittany for the Murtlap Tentacles, and a fat chunk of high-quality chocolate, sir, if available.”（嗯……凤凰泪能抵抗博格特华，或许3、4滴就够。一些宁安剂，来对抗伏地蝠的粘。新鲜的白鲜，来对付莫特拉鼠的角，然后再加一大块质量的黑巧克力，先生。当然，用法用量有待商榷。）
