" If Snape's teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts again, I'm skiving off, "

“如果斯内普再来上黑魔法防御术课，我就请病假。”

“If Snape's teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts again, I'm skiving off, ” said Ron as they headed toward Lupin's classroom after lunch.

“如果斯内普再来上黑魔法防御术课，我就请病假。”罗恩说，这时他们已经吃罢午饭，正要去上卢平教授的课。

This might seem reasonable - apart from the fact that the man told his boss his dog was dead as a previous excuse for skiving off.

这似乎是合理的——除了这个人告诉他的老板他的狗死了作为先前逃跑的借口之外。
