17 The Man with Two Faces

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN THE MAN WITH TWO FACES It was Quirrell. "You!" gasped Harry. Quirrell smiled. His face wasn't twitching at all. "Me," he said calmly. "I wondered whether I'd be meeting you here, Potter." "But I thought Snape—" "Severus?" Quirrell laughed, and it wasn't his usual quivering treble, either, but cold and sharp.

第十七章双面人是奇洛。 “你！”哈利喘着气说。奇洛笑了。 他的脸一点也不抽搐。 “我，”他平静地说。“我不知道会不会在这里见到你，波特。” “可是我以为斯内普——”“西弗勒斯？”奇洛笑了，这也不是他平常那种颤抖的高音，而是冰冷而尖锐的。

"Yes, Severus does seem the type, doesn't he? So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. Next to him, who would suspect pp- poor, st-stuttering P-Professor Quirrell?" Harry couldn't take it in. This couldn't be true, it couldn't. "But Snape tried to kill me!" "No, no, no. I tried to kill you. Your friend Miss Granger accidentally knocked me over as she rushed to set fire to Snape at that Quidditch match. She broke my eye contact with you. Another few seconds and I'd have got you off that broom. I'd have managed it before then if Snape hadn't been muttering a countercurse, trying to save you." "Snape was trying to save me?" "Of course," said Quirrell coolly. "Why do you think he wanted to referee your next match? He was trying to make sure I didn't do it again. Funny, really he needn't have bothered. I couldn't do anything with Dumbledore watching.

“是啊，西弗勒斯确实像那种人，是不是？” 让他像只疯长的蝙蝠一样飞来飞去真是太有用了。 在他旁边，谁会怀疑p——可怜的、口吃的——奇洛教授呢？”哈利无法接受。 这不可能是真的，不可能。 “可是斯内普想杀我！”“不，不，不。 我想杀了你。在魁地奇比赛上，你的朋友格兰杰小姐冲过去放火烧斯内普，不小心把我撞倒了。 她打断了我和你的眼神交流。 再过几秒钟我就能把你从扫帚上弄下来了。 要不是斯内普低声念着解咒，想救你，我早就成功了。” “斯内普想救我？”“当然可以。”奇洛冷冷地说。 “你觉得他为什么想当你们下一场比赛的裁判？” 他是想确保我不会再犯。 真有趣，他根本没必要这么麻烦。 邓布利多看着我，我什么也做不了。

All the other teachers thought Snape was trying to stop Gryffindor from winning, he did make himself unpopular and what a waste of time, when after all that, I'm going to kill you tonight." Quirrell snapped his fingers. Ropes sprang out of thin air and wrapped themselves tightly around Harry. "You're too nosy to live, Potter. Scurrying around the school on Halloween like that, for all I knew you'd seen me coming to look at what was guarding the Stone." "You let the troll in?" "Certainly. I have a special gift with trolls you must have seen what I did to the one in the chamber back there? Unfortunately, while everyone else was running around looking for it, Snape, who already suspected me, went straight to the third floor to head me off and not only did my troll fail to beat you to death, that three-headed

所有的老师都认为斯内普想阻止格兰芬多获胜，他确实让自己不受欢迎，真是浪费时间，毕竟，今晚我要杀了你。” 奇洛打了个响指。 绳子从稀薄的空气中跳出来，紧紧地缠在哈利身上。 “你太爱管闲事了，不能活下去，波特。 万圣节那天，你在学校里跑来跑去，我只知道你看见我去看是什么守卫着魔法石。” “你让巨怪进来了？”“当然。 我对巨魔有特殊的天赋你一定看到我是怎么对付房间里的那个巨魔的吧？ 不幸的是，当大家都在四处寻找它的时候，斯内普已经怀疑我了，他直接跑到三楼来阻止我，我的巨怪不仅没有把你打死，那个三头怪

dog didn't even manage to bite Snape's leg off properly. "Now, wait quietly, Potter. I need to examine this interesting mirror." It was only then that Harry realized what was standing behind Quirrell. It was the Mirror of Erised. "This mirror is the key to finding the Stone," Quirrell murmured, tapping his way around the frame. "Trust Dumbledore to come up with something like this but he's in London I'll be far away by the time he gets back...." All Harry could think of doing was to keep Quirrell talking and stop him from concentrating on the mirror. "I saw you and Snape in the forest—" he blurted out. "Yes," said Quirrell idly, walking around the mirror to look at the back. "He was on to me by that time, trying to find out how far I'd got. He

那条狗连斯内普的腿都没咬断。 “现在，安静地等着，波特。 我要检查一下这面有趣的镜子。” 直到这时，哈利才意识到奇洛身后站着什么。 那是厄里斯魔镜。 “这面镜子是找到魔法石的关键。”奇洛低声说，一边在镜框上敲来敲去。 “相信邓布利多会想出这样的主意，但是他在伦敦，等他回来的时候我已经走远了....” 哈利唯一能想到的就是让奇洛继续说话，不让他把注意力集中在镜子上。 “我看见你和斯内普在禁林里——”他脱口而出。 “是的。”奇洛懒洋洋地说，绕着镜子看了看后面。 “那时候他已经盯上我了，想知道我到底走了多远。 他

suspected me all along. Tried to frighten me as though he could, when I had Lord Voldemort on my side...." Quirrell came back out from behind the mirror and stared hungrily into it. "I see the Stone I'm presenting it to my master but where is it?" Harry struggled against the ropes binding him, but they didn't give. He had to keep Quirrell from giving his whole attention to the mirror. "But Snape always seemed to hate me so much." "Oh, he does," said Quirrell casually, "heavens, yes. He was at Hogwarts with your father, didn't you know? They loathed each other. But he never wanted you dead." "But I heard you a few days ago, sobbing I thought Snape was threatening you...." For the first time, a spasm of fear flitted across Quirrell's face.

一直怀疑我。当伏地魔站在我这边的时候，他试图吓唬我，好像他可以吓唬我....” 奇洛从镜子后面走出来，贪婪地盯着镜子。 “我看到了魔法石，我正把它送给我的主人，可是它在哪儿呢？”哈利挣扎着挣脱捆绑他的绳子，但绳子没有松开。 他必须阻止奇洛把全部注意力都放在镜子上。 “可是斯内普好像总是那么恨我。” “哦，他有，”奇洛漫不经心地说，“天哪，他有。 他和你父亲在霍格沃茨，你不知道吗？ 他们彼此厌恶。但他从来不想让你死。” “可是几天前我听见你在抽泣，我以为斯内普在威胁你....” 奇洛的脸上第一次掠过一阵恐惧。

"Sometimes," he said, "I find it hard to follow my master's instructions he is a great wizard and I am weak—" "You mean he was there in the classroom with you?" Harry gasped. "He is with me wherever I go," said Quirrell quietly. "I met him when I traveled around the world. A foolish young man I was then, full of ridiculous ideas about good and evil. Lord Voldemort showed me how wrong I was. There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it. Since then, I have served him faithfully, although I have let him down many times. He has had to be very hard on me." Quirrell shivered suddenly. "He does not forgive mistakes easily. When I failed to steal the Stone from Gringotts, he was most displeased. He punished me decided he would have to keep a closer watch on me...."

“有时候，”他说，“我发现很难遵守主人的指示——他是一个伟大的巫师，而我很弱——”“你是说他当时和你一起在教室里？”哈利喘着粗气。 “无论我走到哪里，他都跟着我。”奇洛轻声说。 “我是在环游世界的时候认识他的。 那时我是一个愚蠢的年轻人，对善与恶充满了荒谬的想法。 伏地魔让我知道我错得有多离谱。 世上没有善恶之分，只有权力，以及那些太虚弱而无力寻求权力的人。 从那以后，我忠实地为他服务，尽管我多次让他失望。 他必须对我非常严厉。” 奇洛突然哆嗦了一下。 “他不轻易原谅错误。 当我没能从古灵阁偷走魔法石时，他非常不高兴。 他惩罚了我，决定要更密切地监视我....”
