20 Hagrid’s Tale

CHAPTER TWENTY Hagrid's Tale Harry sprinted up to the boys' dormitories to fetch the Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map from his trunk; he was so quick that he and Ron were ready to leave at least five minutes before Hermione hurried back down from the girls' dormitories, wearing scarf, gloves and one of her own knobbly elf hats. 'Well, it's cold out there!' she said defensively, as Ron clicked his tongue impatiently. They crept through the portrait hole and covered themselves hastily in the Cloak– Ron had grown so much he now needed to crouch to prevent his feet showing– then, moving slowly and cautiously, they proceeded down the many

第二十章海格的故事哈利冲进男生宿舍，从箱子里取出隐形衣和活点地图。他动作很快，他和罗恩准备离开至少五分钟后，赫敏才从女生宿舍匆匆赶回来，戴着围巾和手套，戴着她自己戴的一顶多节的小精灵帽。 “嗯，外面太冷了！”看到罗恩不耐烦地咂着舌头，她防卫地说。 他们蹑手蹑脚地穿过肖像洞口，赶紧用隐形衣盖住自己——罗恩已经长得很大了，他现在必须蹲下身子才能不露出脚来——然后，他们慢慢地、小心翼翼地走下小路

staircases, pausing at intervals to check on the map for signs of Filch or Mrs Norris. They were lucky; they saw nobody but Nearly Headless Nick, who was gliding along absent-mindedly humming something that sounded horribly like 'Weasley is our King'. They crept across the Entrance Hall and out into the silent, snowy grounds. With a great leap of his heart, Harry saw little golden squares of light ahead and smoke coiling up from Hagrid's chimney. He set off at a quick march, the other two jostling and bumping along behind him. They crunched excitedly through the thickening snow until at last they reached the wooden front door. When Harry raised his fist and knocked three times, a dog started barking frantically inside. 'Hagrid, it's us!' Harry called through the keyhole. 'Shoulda known!' said a gruff voice. They beamed at each other under the Cloak; they could tell by Hagrid's voice that he was pleased. 'Bin home three seconds… out the way, Fang… out the way, yeh dozy dog…'

他不时停下来在地图上查看费尔奇或洛丽丝夫人的踪迹。 他们很幸运；除了差点没头的尼克，谁也没看见。他心不在焉地溜过去，嘴里哼着什么可怕的东西，好像是“韦斯莱是我们的国王”。 他们蹑手蹑脚地穿过门厅，来到寂静的雪地上。 哈利的心猛地一跳，他看见前面有一块块金色的光，还有从海格的烟囱里袅袅升起的烟。 他快步出发了，另外两个在他后面推推搡搡地走着。 他们兴奋地嘎吱嘎吱地穿过越来越厚的雪，最后来到了木制的前门。 哈利举起拳头，敲了三下，屋里一只狗开始狂吠起来。 “海格，是我们！”哈利从钥匙孔里喊道。 “应该知道!一个粗哑的声音说。 他们在隐形衣下面面相觑；他们可以从海格的声音里听出来他很高兴。 “三秒钟就回来了……让开，牙牙……让开，你这条打瞌睡的狗……”

The bolt was drawn back, the door creaked open and Hagrid's head appeared in the gap. Hermione screamed. 'Merlin's beard, keep it down!' said Hagrid hastily, staring wildly over their heads. 'Under that Cloak, are yeh? Well, get in, get in!' 'I'm sorry!' Hermione gasped, as the three of them squeezed past Hagrid into the house and pulled the Cloak off themselves so he could see them. 'I just– oh, Hagrid!' 'It's nuthin', it's nuthin'!' said Hagrid hastily, shutting the door behind them and hurrying to close all the curtains, but Hermione continued to gaze up at him in horror. Hagrid's hair was matted with congealed blood and his left eye had been reduced to a puffy slit amid a mass of purple and black bruising. There were many cuts on his face and hands, some of them still bleeding, and he was moving gingerly, which made Harry suspect broken ribs. It was obvious that he had only just got home; a thick black travelling cloak lay over the back of a chair and a haversack large enough to carry several

门闩拉开了，门吱呀一声开了，海格的脑袋从门缝里钻了出来。 赫敏尖叫。“天哪，小声点！”海格急忙问，疯狂地盯着他们的头顶。 “在隐形衣下面，是吗？” 好吧，上车，上车！“对不起！”赫敏倒吸了一口气，他们三个挤过海格的身边进了屋子，把隐形衣脱了下来，让他看见他们。 “我只是——哦，海格！”“没什么，没什么！”海格急忙说，关上了他们身后的门，赶紧拉上了所有的窗帘，但赫敏仍然惊恐地抬头看着他。 海格的头发上结满了凝固的血，他的左眼在一大堆紫黑相间的瘀伤中变成了一条肿缝。 他的脸上和手上有许多伤口，有些还在流血，他移动得很小心，哈利怀疑他的肋骨断了。 很明显，他刚刚回到家；一件厚厚的黑色旅行斗篷盖在椅背上，还有一个大得足以装下几个人的背包

small children leaned against the wall inside the door. Hagrid himself, twice the size of a normal man, was now limping over to the fire and placing a copper kettle over it. 'What happened to you?' Harry demanded, while Fang danced around them all, trying to lick their faces. 'Told yeh, nuthin',' said Hagrid firmly. 'Want a cuppa?' 'Come off it,' said Ron, 'you're in a right state!' 'I'm tellin' yeh, I'm fine,' said Hagrid, straightening up and turning to beam at them all, but wincing. 'Blimey, it's good ter see yeh three again– had good summers, did yeh?' 'Hagrid, you've been attacked!' said Ron. 'Fer the las' time, it's nuthin'!' said Hagrid firmly. 'Would you say it was nothing if one of us turned up with a pound of mince instead of a face?' Ron demanded. ikcjeo. 'You ought to go and see Madam Pomfrey, Hagrid,' said Hermione anxiously, 'some of those

小孩子们靠在门里面的墙上。 海格的个头是正常人的两倍，他一瘸一拐地走到火炉旁，把一只铜水壶放在上面。 “你怎么了？”哈利问，牙牙围着他们跳来跳去，想舔他们的脸。 “我告诉过你，没什么。”海格坚定地说。 “要喝杯茶吗？”“别胡扯了，”罗恩说，“你的状态很好！”“我告诉你们，我很好。”海格说，他直起腰来，转身对大家笑，但却皱起了眉头。 “天哪，又见到你们三个真是太好了——暑假过得很愉快，是不是？”“海格，你被袭击了！”罗恩说。 “再说最后一遍，这没什么！”海格坚定地说。 “如果我们当中有人拿着一磅肉馅而不是一张脸出现，你会说这没什么吗？ ”罗恩问道。 “你应该去看看庞弗雷夫人，海格，”赫敏焦急地说，“那几个

cuts look nasty.' 'I'm dealin' with it, all righ'?' said Hagrid repressively. He walked across to the enormous wooden table that stood in the middle of his cabin and twitched aside a tea towel that had been lying on it. Underneath was a raw, bloody, green-tinged steak slightly larger than the average car tyre. 'You're not going to eat that, are you, Hagrid?' said Ron, leaning in for a closer look. 'It looks poisonous.' 'It's s'posed ter look like that, it's dragon meat,' Hagrid said. 'An' I didn' get it ter eat.' He picked up the steak and slapped it over the left side of his face. Greenish blood trickled down into his beard as he gave a soft moan of satisfaction. 'Tha's better. It helps with the stingin', yeh know.' 'So, are you going to tell us what's happened to you?' Harry asked.

伤口看起来很严重。“我正在处理这件事，好吗？”海格压抑地说。 他走到木屋中央那张巨大的木桌前，拉开桌上放着的一条茶巾。 下面是一块生的、带血的、略带绿色的牛排，比一般的汽车轮胎略大。 “你不会吃那个吧，海格？”罗恩说，凑过去凑近看了看。 “它看起来有毒。“这是故意的，这是龙肉。”海格说。 “我没让它吃东西。”他拿起牛排，在自己的左脸上打了一巴掌。 他发出一声满意的呻吟，绿色的血滴进了他的胡须。 “那是更好的。你知道的，这对刺痛有帮助。“那么，你要告诉我们你发生了什么事吗？”哈利问。

'Can't, Harry. Top secret. More'n me job's worth ter tell yeh that.' 'Did the giants beat you up, Hagrid?' asked Hermione quietly. Hagrid's fingers slipped on the dragon steak and it slid squelchily on to his chest. 'Giants?' said Hagrid, catching the steak before it reached his belt and slapping it back over his face, 'who said anythin' abou' giants? Who yeh bin talkin' to? Who's told yeh what I've– who's said I've bin– eh?' 'We guessed,' said Hermione apologetically. 'Oh, yeh did, did yeh?' said Hagrid, fixing her sternly with the eye that was not hidden by the steak. 'It was kind of… obvious,' said Ron. Harry nodded. Hagrid glared at them, then snorted, threw the steak back on to the table and strode over to the kettle, which was now whistling. 'Never known kids like you three fer knowin' more'n yeh oughta,' he muttered, splashing

“不能,哈利。最高机密。 告诉你这件事比我的工作还值得。“巨人打你了吗，海格？”赫敏轻声问。 海格的手指在龙排上滑了一下，龙排咕咕地滑到了他的胸口。 “巨人?海格说着，在牛排还没到腰带上就把它接住，又把它拍在脸上，“谁说巨人了？ 你在跟谁说话？谁告诉你们我——谁说我——嗯？“我们猜到了。”赫敏抱歉地说。 “哦，是吗？”海格说，用没有被牛排遮住的眼睛严厉地盯着她。 “这有点……很明显。”罗恩说。 哈利点了点头。海格瞪了他们一眼，然后哼了一声，把牛排扔回桌子上，大步走到水壶旁，水壶正在呼呼作响。 “从来没见过像你们三个这样的孩子，知道得太多了。”他嘟囔着，溅起水花
