34 Priori Incantatem

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR Priori Incantatem Wormtail approached Harry, who scrambled to find his feet, to support his own weight before the ropes were untied. Wormtail raised his new silver hand, pulled out the wad of material gagging Harry and then, with one swipe, cut through the bonds tying Harry to the gravestone. There was a split second, perhaps, when Harry might have considered running for it, but his injured leg shook under him as he stood on the overgrown grave, as the Death Eaters closed ranks, forming a tighter circle around him and Voldemort, so that the gaps where the missing Death Eaters should have stood were filled. Wormtail walked out of the circle to the place

第三十四章先验念咒虫尾巴朝哈利走来，哈利慌忙找着脚，在绳子被解开之前支撑住自己的体重。 虫尾巴举起他那只崭新的银手，抽出那团塞住哈利的东西，然后一挥，割断了把哈利绑在墓碑上的绳子。 也许有那么一瞬间，哈利本想跑开，但他站在杂草丛生的坟墓上，受伤的腿在他身下颤抖，食死徒们围成一圈，把他和伏地魔围得更紧，这样就把失踪的食死徒站着的地方填满了。 虫尾巴走出了圈子，来到了那个地方

where Cedric's body lay, and returned with Harry's wand, which he thrust roughly into Harry's hand without looking at him. Then Wormtail resumed his place in the circle of watching Death Eaters. 'You have been taught how to duel, Harry Potter?' said Voldemort softly, his red eyes glinting through the darkness. At these words Harry remembered, as though from a former life, the Duelling Club at Hogwarts he had attended briefly two years ago… all he had learnt there was the Disarming spell, 'Expelliarmus' …and what use would it be, even if he could, to deprive Voldemort of his wand, when he was surrounded by Death Eaters, outnumbered by at least thirty to one? He had never learnt anything that could possibly fit him for this. He knew he was facing the thing against which Moody had always warned… the unblockable Avada Kedavra curse–and Voldemort was right–his mother was not here to die for him this time… he was quite unprotected…

塞德里克的尸体躺在那里，然后拿着哈利的魔杖回来了，他粗暴地把魔杖塞到哈利手里，连看都没看他一眼。 然后虫尾巴又回到了围观的食死徒圈子里。 “你学过如何决斗吗，哈利·波特？”伏地魔轻声说，他的红眼睛在黑暗中闪闪发光。 听了这些话，哈利想起了两年前他曾短暂参加过的霍格沃茨决斗俱乐部……他在那里只学会了“除你武器”这个解除武装的咒语……在伏地魔被食死徒包围，人数至少是三十比一的情况下，即使他能夺去他的魔杖，又有什么用呢？ 他从来没有学过任何可能适合他的东西。 他知道自己面对的是穆迪一直警告要提防的东西——不可阻断的阿瓦达索命咒——伏地魔是对的——他母亲这次不是来替他死的……他完全没有保护……

'We bow to each other, Harry,' said Voldemort, bending a little, but keeping his snake-like face upturned to Harry. 'Come, the niceties must be observed… Dumbledore would like you to show manners… bow to death, Harry…' The Death Eaters were laughing again. Voldemort's lipless mouth was smiling. Harry did not bow. He was not going to let Voldemort play with him before killing him… he was not going to give him that satisfaction… 'I said, bow,' Voldemort said, raising his wand–and Harry felt his spine curve as though a huge, invisible hand was bending him ruthlessly forwards, and the Death Eaters laughed harder than ever. 'Very good,' said Voldemort softly, and as he raised his wand, the pressure bearing down upon Harry lifted too. 'And now you face me, like a man… straight backed and proud, the way your father died… 'And now–we duel.' Voldemort raised his wand, and before Harry could do anything to defend himself, before he

“我们互相鞠躬，哈利。”伏地魔说，微微弯下腰，但他那张蛇一样的脸一直朝哈利仰着。 “行了，必须遵守礼节……邓布利多希望你有礼貌……向死神鞠躬吧，哈利……”食死徒们又笑了起来。 伏地魔没有嘴唇的嘴巴在微笑。 哈利没有低头。“我说，鞠躬。”伏地魔举起魔杖说，哈利感到他的脊背弯曲了，好像有一只看不见的大手在无情地把他向前弯着，食死徒笑得比以前更厉害了。 “很好。”伏地魔轻声说，举起魔杖时，压在哈利身上的压力也减轻了。 “现在你面对我，像个男子汉……挺直腰板，像你父亲死时那样骄傲……现在我们决斗。”伏地魔举起魔杖，哈利还没来得及自卫，他就

could even move, he had been hit again by the Cruciatus Curse. The pain was so intense, so allconsuming, that he no longer knew where he was… white-hot knives were piercing every inch of his skin, his head was surely going to burst with pain; he was screaming more loudly than he'd ever screamed in his life–And then it stopped. Harry rolled over and scrambled to his feet; he was shaking as uncontrollably as Wormtail had done when his hand had been cut off; he staggered sideways into the wall of watching Death Eaters, and they pushed him away, back towards Voldemort. 'A little break,' said Voldemort, the slit-like nostrils dilating with excitement, 'a little pause… that hurt, didn't it, Harry? You don't want me to do that again, do you?' Harry didn't answer. He was going to die like Cedric, those pitiless red eyes were telling him so… he was going to die, and there was nothing he could do about it… but he wasn't going to play along. ikcjeo. He wasn't going to obey Voldemort… he wasn't going to beg…

就在他动弹不得时，他又被钻心咒击中了。 疼痛是如此强烈，如此吞噬一切，他不知道自己身在何处……白热的刀子刺穿了他的每一寸皮肤，他的头肯定要痛炸了。他尖叫得比以往任何时候都要大声，然后就停了。 哈利翻过身，爬了起来。他不由自主地颤抖着，就像虫尾巴的手被砍断时一样。他摇摇晃晃地撞到食死徒的墙上，他们把他推开，回到伏地魔那里。 “休息一会儿，”伏地魔说，两条细长的鼻孔兴奋地张大了，“休息一会儿……很疼，是不是，哈利？ 你不会想让我再来一次吧，是不是？”哈利没有回答。 他会像塞德里克一样死去，那双无情的红眼睛在告诉他……他会死的，对此他无能为力……但他不会配合。 他不会服从伏地魔……他不会乞求……

'I asked you whether you want me to do that again?' said Voldemort softly. 'Answer me! Imperio!' And Harry felt, for the third time in his life, the sensation that his mind had been wiped of all thought… ah, it was bliss, not to think, it was as though he was floating, dreaming… just answer 'no' …say 'no' …just answer 'no'… I will not, said a stronger voice, in the back of his head, I won't answer… Just answer 'no' …I won't do it, I won't say it… Just answer 'no'… 'I WON'T!' And these words burst from Harry's mouth; they echoed through the graveyard, and the dream state was lifted as suddenly as though cold water had been thrown over him–back rushed the aches that the Cruciatus Curse had left all over his body–back rushed the realisation of where he was, and what he was facing…

“我问你要不要我再来一次？”伏地魔轻声说。 “回答我!”Imperio !”哈利有生以来第三次有一种感觉，觉得他的脑子里什么都没有了……啊，不用思考，这是多么幸福啊，他仿佛在梦中飘浮……只要回答‘不’……说‘不’……只要回答‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……就说‘不’……”这些话从哈利嘴里脱口而出。他们的声音在墓地里回荡，梦境突然消失了，就像被泼了一盆冷水一样——钻心咒在他全身留下的疼痛一下子恢复了过来——他猛然意识到自己身在何处，面对的是什么……

'You won't?' said Voldemort quietly, and the Death Eaters were not laughing now. 'You won't say "no"? Harry, obedience is a virtue I need to teach you before you die… perhaps another little dose of pain?' Voldemort raised his wand, but this time Harry was ready; with the reflexes born of his Quidditch training, he flung himself sideways onto the ground; he rolled behind the marble headstone of Voldemort's father, and he heard it crack as the curse missed him. 'We are not playing hide-and-seek, Harry,' said Voldemort's soft, cold voice, drawing nearer, as the Death Eaters laughed. 'You cannot hide from me. Does this mean you are tired of our duel? Does this mean that you would prefer me to finish it now, Harry? Come out, Harry… come out and play, then… it will be quick… it might even be painless… I would not know… I have never died…' Harry crouched behind the headstone, and knew the end had come. There was no hope… no help to be had. And as he heard Voldemort draw nearer

“你不会?伏地魔轻声说，食死徒们不再笑了。 “你不会说‘不’？”哈利，服从是我在你死前要教你的美德……也许再来点痛苦？”伏地魔举起了魔杖，但这次哈利准备好了。他带着魁地奇训练带来的反应能力，侧身倒在地上。他滚到伏地魔父亲的大理石墓碑后面，听见墓碑裂开的声音，魔咒没有击中他。 “我们不是在玩捉迷藏，哈利。”伏地魔柔和、冰冷的声音越来越近，食死徒们笑了起来。 “你躲不了我的。这是否意味着你厌倦了我们的决斗？ 这是否意味着你希望我现在就完成它，哈利？ “出来吧，哈利……出来玩吧……那么……就会很快……甚至可能无痛……我不会知道……我从来没有死过……”哈利蹲在墓碑后面，知道末日来临了。 没有希望……没有帮助。 他听见伏地魔走近了
