도대체 내가 무슨 생각을 하는 거지? 그건 햇빛 때문임이 분명했다. 더즐리 씨는 눈을 몇 번 깜박거린 뒤 고양이를 뚫어지게 바라보았다. 고양이도 그를 바라보았다. 더즐리 씨는 길모퉁이를 돌면서, 백미러에 비친 고양이를 계속 바라보았다. 고양이는 이제 ‘프리벳 가’라는 표지판을 읽고 있었다…… 아니, 그 표지판을 보고 있었다. 고양이는 지도나 표지판을 읽을 수 없는 것이다. 더즐리 씨는 정신을 차리려고 머리를 세차게 흔들고는 머릿속에서 고양이 생각을 지워 버렸다. 시내 쪽으로 운전해 가는 머릿속은 오로지, 그날 드릴의 대량 주문이 있기를 바라는 생각으로 가득 차 있었다.

Cats can’t read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley recovered his senses and, shaking his head strongly, erased all thought of cats from his mind. Driving downtown, the only thoughts that filled his head were of the large quantity of drills he wanted to order that day.
***Original Text (English)
What could he have been thinking of? It must have been a trick of the light. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. It stared back. As Mr. Dursley drove around the corner and up the road, he watched the cat in his mirror. It was now reading the sign that said Privet Drive — no, looking at the sign; cats couldn’t read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind. As he drove toward town he thought of nothing except a large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.
