I told him I'd flay him alive if he went, and now look! Dementors!

我对他说，如果他敢去，我就活剥他的皮，结果你看看现在！摄魂怪！

Of course the Legation itself was home, and, under such pressure, life in it could be nothing but united. All the inmates made common cause, but this was no education. One lived, but was merely flayed alive.

当然，使馆本身就是家，在这样的压力下，里面的生活只能团结一致。所有的囚犯都有共同的事业，但这不是教育。一个活了下来，但只是被活剥了皮。
