13 Nicholas Flamel

CHAPTER THIRTEEN NICOLAS FLAMEL umbledore had convinced Harry not to go looking for the Mirror of Erised again, and for the rest of the Christmas holidays the Invisibility Cloak stayed folded at the bottom of his trunk. Harry wished he could forget what he'd seen in the mirror as easily, but he couldn't. He started having nightmares. Over and over again he dreamed about his parents disappearing in a flash

第十三章尼古拉斯·勒梅·邓布利多说服哈利不要再去找厄里斯魔镜了，在接下来的圣诞节假期里，隐形衣一直叠着放在他的衣箱底部。 哈利希望自己也能轻易地忘记镜子里看到的东西，但他做不到。 他开始做噩梦。 他一次又一次梦见他的父母在一瞬间消失

of green light, while a high voice cackled with laughter. "You see, Dumbledore was right, that mirror could drive you mad," said Ron, when Harry told him about these dreams. Hermione, who came back the day before term started, took a different view of things. She was torn between horror at the idea of Harry being out of bed, roaming the school three nights in a row ("If Filch had caught you!"), and disappointment that he hadn't at least found out who Nicolas Flamel was. They had almost given up hope of ever finding Flamel in a library book, even though Harry was still sure he'd read the name somewhere. Once term had started, they were back to skimming through books for ten minutes during their breaks. Harry had even less time than the other two, because Quidditch practice had started again.

绿色的光，同时一个高亢的声音咯咯地笑着。 “你看，邓布利多是对的，那面镜子能把你逼疯。”哈利告诉罗恩这些梦时，罗恩说。 开学前一天回来的赫敏对事情有不同的看法。 想到哈利下了床，连续三个晚上在学校里游荡（“要是费尔奇抓住你就好了！”），她又感到恐惧，又对他至少没有弄清尼可·勒梅是谁感到失望。 他们几乎放弃了在图书馆的书里找到勒梅的希望，尽管哈利仍然确信他在什么地方看到过这个名字。 学期一开始，他们又回到了课间休息时花十分钟浏览书本的习惯。 哈利的时间比另外两个人更少，因为魁地奇训练又开始了。

Wood was working the team harder than ever. Even the endless rain that had replaced the snow couldn't dampen his spirits. The Weasleys complained that Wood was becoming a fanatic, but Harry was on Wood's side. If they won their next match, against Hufflepuff, they would overtake Slytherin in the House Championship for the first time in seven years. Quite apart from wanting to win, Harry found that he had fewer nightmares when he was tired out after training. Then, during one particularly wet and muddy practice session, Wood gave the team a bit of bad news. He'd just gotten very angry with the Weasleys, who kept dive-bombing each other and pretending to fall off their brooms. "Will you stop messing around!" he yelled. "That's exactly the sort of thing that'll lose us the match! Snape's refereeing this time, and he'll be looking for any excuse to knock points off Gryffindor!"

伍德比以往任何时候都更努力地训练队员。 即使是代替了雪的连绵不断的雨也不能浇灭他的兴致。 韦斯莱一家抱怨伍德变成了狂热分子，但哈利站在伍德一边。 如果他们赢得下一场对赫奇帕奇的比赛，他们将在七年来第一次在学院锦标赛中超过斯莱特林。 除了想赢，哈利还发现，在训练后疲惫不堪时，他做噩梦的次数减少了。 然后，在一次特别潮湿泥泞的训练中，伍德给了队员们一个坏消息。 他刚刚对韦斯莱一家非常生气，他们不停地俯冲轰炸对方，假装从飞天扫帚上摔下来。 “你能不能别胡闹了！”他喊道。 “正是这种事会让我们输掉比赛的！”这次是斯内普当裁判，他会想方设法给格兰芬多扣分的！”

George Weasley really did fall off his broom at these words. "Snape's refereeing?" he spluttered through a mouthful of mud. "When's he ever refereed a Quidditch match? He's not going to be fair if we might overtake Slytherin." The rest of the team landed next to George to complain, too. "It's not my fault," said Wood. "We've just got to make sure we play a clean game, so Snape hasn't got an excuse to pick on us." Which was all very well, thought Harry, but he had another reason for not wanting Snape near him while he was playing Quidditch. The rest of the team hung back to talk to one another as usual at the end of practice, but Harry headed straight back to the Gryffindor common room, where he found Ron and Hermione playing chess. Chess was the only thing Hermione ever

听到这些话，乔治·韦斯莱真的从扫帚上摔了下来。 “斯内普当裁判？”他吞吞吐吐地说。 “他什么时候当过魁地奇比赛裁判？” 如果我们超过斯莱特林，他不会公平的。” 其他队员也落在乔治旁边抱怨起来。 “这不是我的错。”伍德说。 哈利说，“我们必须保证比赛干净利落，这样斯内普就没有借口欺负我们了。” 这倒很好，哈利想，但是他在打魁地奇时又有一个理由不让斯内普靠近他。 训练结束后，球队的其他队员像往常一样，都留下来互相交谈，但哈利径直回到格兰芬多的公共休息室，他发现罗恩和赫敏正在那里下棋。 下棋是赫敏唯一喜欢的东西

lost at, something Harry and Ron thought was very good for her. "Don't talk to me for a moment," said Ron when Harry sat down next to him, "I need to concen—" He caught sight of Harry's face. "What's the matter with you? You look terrible." Speaking quietly so that no one else would hear, Harry told the other two about Snape's sudden, sinister desire to be a Quidditch referee. "Don't play," said Hermione at once. "Say you're ill," said Ron. "Pretend to break your leg," Hermione suggested. "Really break your leg," said Ron. "I can't," said Harry. "There isn't a reserve Seeker. If I back out, Gryffindor can't play at all." At that moment Neville toppled into the common room. How he had managed to climb through the portrait hole was anyone's guess, because his legs had been stuck together with

哈利和罗恩认为这对她很有好处。 “先别跟我说话，”哈利在罗恩身边坐下后，罗恩说，“我需要担心——”他看见了哈利的脸。 “你怎么啦？” 你看起来很糟糕。”为了不让别人听见，哈利悄悄地把斯内普突然想当魁地奇裁判的邪恶愿望告诉了另外两人。 “别玩了。”赫敏马上说。 “说你病了。”罗恩说。 “假装摔断了腿。”赫敏建议道。 “真的打断了你的腿。”罗恩说。 “我不能。”哈利说。“没有替补找球手。 如果我退出，格兰芬多就不能比赛了。” 就在这时，纳威跌进了公共休息室。 谁也不知道他是怎么从肖像洞口爬出来的，因为他的两条腿被粘在一起了

what they recognized at once as the Leg-Locker Curse. He must have had to bunny hop all the way up to Gryffindor Tower. Everyone fell over laughing except Hermione, who leapt up and performed the countercurse. Neville's legs sprang apart and he got to his feet, trembling. "What happened?" Hermione asked him, leading him over to sit with Harry and Ron. "Malfoy," said Neville shakily. "I met him outside the library. He said he'd been looking for someone to practice that on." "Go to Professor McGonagall!" Hermione urged Neville. "Report him!" Neville shook his head. "I don't want more trouble," he mumbled. "You've got to stand up to him, Neville!" said Ron. "He's used to walking all over people, but that's no reason to lie down in front of him and make it easier."

他们立刻认出那是锁腿咒。 他一定是一路蹦蹦跳跳地爬上格兰芬多塔楼的。 除了赫敏，大家都笑倒了，她跳起来念了解咒。 纳威两腿猛地分开，哆嗦着站了起来。 “发生什么事了?”赫敏问他，把他领到哈利和罗恩身边。 “马尔福。”纳威颤抖地说。 “我在图书馆外面遇见了他。 他说他一直在找人练习这个。” “去找麦格教授！”赫敏催促纳威。 “报告他!”纳威摇了摇头。 “我不想再惹麻烦了。”他咕哝着。 “你必须勇敢地面对他，纳威！”罗恩说。 “他已经习惯了把人踩在脚下，但我们没有理由在他面前躺下，让事情变得更容易。”
