5 Midnight secrets

Chapter 5 Midnight secrets A few nights later, Harry woke to find Anna standing by his bed. "There are strange noises coming from downstairs," she hissed. "Come on! Let's see what's happening."

几个晚上后，哈利醒来时发现安娜站在他的床边。 “楼下传来奇怪的声音，”她嘶嘶地说。 “来吧!让我们看看发生了什么。”

Harry was terrified. The servants weren't allowed to leave their rooms at night- and Mr. Paulfrey had told them to ignore any noises they heard. But he couldn't let Anna go down alone. Are you sure this is a good idea? "I think the noises were coming from the kitchen," Anna whispered, leading the way.

哈利吓坏了。仆人们不允许在晚上离开他们的房间——保罗弗雷先生告诉他们不要理会他们听到的任何声音。 但他不能让安娜一个人下去。 你确定这是个好主意吗？ “我想声音是从厨房里传来的。”安娜低声说，在前面带路。

To Harry's relief, the kitchen was empty. He was about to suggest going back to bed, when Anna spotted a light outside. Peering into the darkness, they saw three shadowy figures. They're heading for the ruined chapel. Come on! What if we get caught?

让哈利松了口气的是，厨房里空无一人。 他正要建议回去睡觉，这时安娜看见外面有灯光。 在黑暗中，他们看到了三个模糊的身影。 他们朝被毁的小教堂走去。 来吧!如果我们被抓了怎么办？

Harry followed Anna into the garden and crouched down behind a pillar in the ruined chapel. From their hiding place, they had a perfect view of the three figures. Dig faster, Paulfrey! One was Mr. Paulfrey. One was Dr. Grimm, the village doctor. And the third was...

哈利跟着安娜走进花园，蹲在被毁坏的小教堂的一根柱子后面。 从他们的藏身之处，他们可以完美地看到那三个人影。 快点挖，保罗瑞！一个是保罗弗雷先生。 一个是格林医生，村里的医生。 第三个是……

...Lord Rakenhell himself! He was barking out orders while Paulfrey dug up lumps of soil and plants. "What are they doing?" Harry asked Anna. She shrugged. Suddenly, they heard a menacing growl. Lazarus, Lord Rakenhell's massive hound, had sniffed them out and was about to spring.

．．．拉肯希尔大人本人！他在大声地发号施令，而保罗弗雷则在挖土块和植物。 “他们在干什么？”哈利问安娜。 她耸耸肩。突然，他们听到一声威胁的咆哮。 拉肯希尔伯爵的大猎犬拉撒路已经嗅出了他们的气味，正要跳起来。

There was no time to worry about being seen. Leaping to their feet, Harry and Anna fled. Harry clambered over a wall and kept on running, down to the misty marshes. He'd lost sight of Anna, but the dog was close behind.

没有时间担心被人看见。 哈利和安娜一跃而起，逃跑了。 哈利翻过一堵墙，继续往下跑，一直跑到雾蒙蒙的沼泽地。 他已经看不见安娜了，但那条狗紧跟在后面。
