《奥利凡德魔杖店》青松枝

4、Alder桤木/赤杨树

　　【桤木/赤杨树】
　　桤木是一种不易弯曲的木头，不过我发现这种木头制作的魔杖的理想主人并不顽固倔强，反而常常是乐于助人，考虑周到，非常讨人喜欢的。多数魔杖木头寻找与它们本身特质相似的主人，而赤杨木在这方面与其他木质截然相反，它似乎想要寻找具有与自己本身特质相反或是明显不同品质的主人。赤杨木魔杖找到满意去处以后，会成为魔杖主高尚忠诚的帮手。在所有的魔杖类型中，赤杨木魔杖最适合无声咒，因此有着适合高水平巫师的名声。

　　【Alder】
　　Alder is an unyielding wood, yet I have discovered that its ideal owner is not stubborn or obstinate, but often helpful, considerate and most likeable. Whereas most wand woods seek similarity in the characters of those they will best serve, alder is unusual in that it seems to desire a nature that is, if not precisely opposite to its own, then certainly of a markedly different type. When an alder wand is happily placed, it becomes a magnificent, loyal helpmate. Of all wand types, alder is best suited to non-verbal spell work, whence comes its reputation for being suitable only for the most advanced witches and wizards.
