36 The Only One He Ever Feared

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX The Only One He Ever Feared 'He hasn't gone!' Harry yelled. He did not believe it; he would not believe it; still he fought Lupin with every bit of strength he had. Lupin did not understand; people hid behind that curtain; Harry had heard them whispering the first time he had entered the room. Sirius was hiding, simply lurking out of sight– 'SIRIUS!' he bellowed. 'SIRIUS!' 'He can't come back, Harry,' said Lupin, his voice breaking as he struggled to contain Harry. 'He can't come back, because he's d––'

第三十六章他唯一害怕的人“他没有走！”哈利喊道。 他不相信；他不相信；但他还是竭尽全力和卢平搏斗。 卢平不明白。人们躲在帘子后面；哈利第一次走进房间的时候就听见他们在窃窃私语。 小天狼星躲起来了，只是躲在看不见的地方——“小天狼星！”他吼道。 “小天狼星!“他不能回来了，哈利。”卢平说，他的声音变得嘶哑了，因为他挣扎着要控制住哈利。 “他不能回来了，因为他——”

'HE– IS– NOT– DEAD!' roared Harry. 'SIRIUS!' There was movement going on around them, pointless bustling, the flashes of more spells. To Harry it was meaningless noise, the deflected curses flying past them did not matter, nothing mattered except that Lupin should stop pretending that Sirius– who was standing feet from them behind that old curtain– was not going to emerge at any moment, shaking back his dark hair and eager to re-enter the battle. Lupin dragged Harry away from the dais. Harry, still staring at the archway, was angry at Sirius now for keeping him waiting– But some part of him realised, even as he fought to break free from Lupin, that Sirius had never kept him waiting before… Sirius had risked everything, always, to see Harry, to help him… if Sirius was not reappearing out of that archway when Harry was yelling for him as though his life depended on it, the only possible explanation was that he could not come back… that he really was–

“他——没有——死！”哈利吼道。 “小天狼星!”他们周围有动静，毫无意义的熙熙攘攘，还有更多的咒语闪过。 对哈利来说，这是毫无意义的噪音，那些从他们身边飞过的咒语无关紧要，除了卢平不要再假装小天狼星——他站在离他们几英尺远的旧窗帘后面——随时都不会出现，抖着他的黑发，急切地想重新投入战斗之外，什么都不重要。 卢平把哈利从讲台上拖走。 哈利,仍然盯着拱门,是生气天狼星现在让他空等,但部分他意识到,尽管他努力摆脱卢平,天狼星以前从未让他久等…小天狼星已经冒着一切,总是看到哈利,帮助他……如果小天狼星没有再现的拱门当哈利对他大喊大叫,好像他的生命取决于它,唯一可能的解释是,他不可能……他真的是——回来

Dumbledore had most of the remaining Death Eaters grouped in the middle of the room, seemingly immobilised by invisible ropes; Mad- Eye Moody had crawled across the room to where Tonks lay, and was attempting to revive her; behind the dais there were still flashes of light, grunts and cries– Kingsley had run forward to continue Sirius's duel with Bellatrix. 'Harry?' Neville had slid down the stone benches one by one to the place where Harry stood. Harry was no longer struggling against Lupin, who maintained a precautionary grip on his arm nevertheless. 'Harry… I'b really sorry…' said Neville. His legs were still dancing uncontrollably. 'Was dad man– was Sirius Black a– a friend of yours?' Harry nodded. 'Here,' said Lupin quietly, and pointing his wand at Neville's legs he said, 'Finite.' The spell was lifted: Neville's legs fell back to the floor and remained still. Lupin's face was pale. 'Let's– let's find the others. Where are they all, Neville?'

邓布利多把剩下的大多数食死徒都集中在房间中央，似乎用看不见的绳子把他们固定住了。疯眼汉穆迪穿过房间，爬到唐克斯躺着的地方，试图使她苏醒过来。讲台后面仍然闪烁着灯光，还有咕哝声和喊叫声——金斯莱已经跑上前继续小天狼星和贝拉特里克斯的决斗了。 “哈利?”纳威一个接一个地从石凳上滑下来，来到哈利站着的地方。 哈利不再和卢平搏斗了，卢平还是小心翼翼地抓着他的胳膊。 “哈利……我真的很抱歉……” 他的腿还在不受控制地跳着。 “爸爸——小天狼星布莱克是——你的朋友吗？”哈利点了点头。 “喏，”卢平平静地说，用魔杖指着纳威的腿说，“有限。”魔咒解除了，纳威的腿落在地板上，一动不动。 卢平脸色苍白。“我们——我们去找其他人吧。 他们都到哪儿去了，纳威？”

Lupin turned away from the archway as he spoke. It sounded as though every word was causing him pain. 'Dey're all back dere,' said Neville. 'A brain addacked Ron bud I dink he's all righd– and Herbione's unconscious, bud we could feel a bulse–' There was a loud bang and a yell from behind the dais. Harry saw Kingsley hit the ground yelling in pain: Bellatrix Lestrange turned tail and ran as Dumbledore whipped around. He aimed a spell at her but she deflected it; she was halfway up the steps now– 'Harry– no!' cried Lupin, but Harry had already ripped his arm from Lupin's slackened grip. 'SHE KILLED SIRIUS!' bellowed Harry. 'SHE KILLED HIM– I'LL KILL HER!' And he was off, scrambling up the stone benches; people were shouting behind him but he did not care. mclhfa. The hem of Bellatrix's robes whipped out of sight ahead and they were back in the room where the brains were swimming…

卢平一边说，一边转过身去，离开了拱门。 听起来好像每一个字都使他痛苦。 “他们都回来了。”纳威说。 “一个脑袋打中了罗恩，不过我想他没事——赫敏也不省人事，不过我们能感觉到一阵巨响——”讲台后面传来一声巨响和一声喊叫。 哈利看见金斯莱倒在地上痛苦地大叫，贝拉特里克斯·莱斯特兰奇转身就跑，邓布利多猛地转过身来。 他对她施了一个咒语，但被她挡开了；她已经走到台阶的一半了——“哈利——不！卢平叫道，但哈利已经把胳膊从卢平松松的手里抽了出来。 “她杀了小天狼星！”哈利吼道。 “她杀了他——我要杀了她！”于是他出发了，爬上石凳；人们在他身后喊着，但他不在乎。 贝拉特里克斯的袍子的下摆突然消失在眼前，他们回到了大脑在游动的房间……

She aimed a curse over her shoulder. The tank rose into the air and tipped. Harry was deluged in the foul-smelling potion within: the brains slipped and slid over him and began spinning their long coloured tentacles, but he shouted, 'Wingardium Leviosa!' and they flew off him up into the air. Slipping and sliding, he ran on towards the door; he leapt over Luna, who was groaning on the floor, past Ginny, who said, 'Harry– what–?', past Ron, who giggled feebly, and Hermione, who was still unconscious. He wrenched open the door into the circular black hall and saw Bellatrix disappearing through a door on the other side of the room; beyond her was the corridor leading back to the lifts. He ran, but she had slammed the door behind her and the walls were already rotating. Once more, he was surrounded by streaks of blue light from the whirling candelabra. 'Where's the exit?' he shouted desperately, as the wall rumbled to a halt again. 'Where's the way out?'

她把诅咒从肩膀上甩了过去。 水箱升到空中，倾斜了。 哈利被里面臭气冲天的药水淹没了，脑浆在他身上滑来滑去，开始旋转它们长长的彩色触角，但他喊道：“羽加迪姆勒维奥萨！”它们从他身上飞到空中去了。 他一滑一滑地朝门口跑去；他跳过在地板上呻吟的卢娜，又跳过金妮，金妮说：“哈利——怎么了——？”他走过罗恩和赫敏，罗恩虚弱地咯咯笑着，赫敏仍然没有意识。 他拧开了通向圆形黑色大厅的门，看见贝拉特里克斯正穿过房间另一边的一扇门消失不见。在她的后面是通往电梯的走廊。 他跑开了，但她已经砰地关上了身后的门，墙壁已经在旋转了。 他又一次被旋转的大烛台发出的缕缕蓝光包围了。 “出口在哪里？”他绝望地喊道，这时墙又轰隆一声停了下来。 “出口在哪里？”

The room seemed to have been waiting for him to ask. The door right behind him flew open and the corridor towards the lifts stretched ahead of him, torch-lit and empty. He ran… He could hear a lift clattering ahead; he sprinted up the passageway, swung around the corner and slammed his fist on to the button to call a second lift. It jangled and banged lower and lower; the grilles slid open and Harry dashed inside, now hammering the button marked 'Atrium'. The doors slid shut and he was rising… He forced his way out of the lift before the grilles were fully open and looked around. Bellatrix was almost at the telephone lift at the other end of the hall, but she looked back as he sprinted towards her and aimed another spell at him. He dodged behind the Fountain of Magical Brethren: the spell zoomed past him and hit the wrought-gold gates at the other end of the Atrium so that they rang like bells. There were no more footsteps. She had stopped running. He crouched behind the statues, listening.

整个房间似乎都在等着他开口。 他身后的门突然打开了，通往电梯的走廊在他面前伸展开来，火把亮着，却空无一人。 他跑了起来……他听见前面有一辆电梯咔嗒作响。他冲过过道，转过拐角，用拳头猛击按钮，叫了第二部电梯。 它发出刺耳的声音，砰的一声越来越低；栅栏门滑开了，哈利冲了进去，按了按标有“正厅”的按钮。 电梯的门关上了，他正在上升……在栅栏门还没有完全打开之前，他就从电梯里挤了出来，环顾四周。 贝拉特里克斯快到大厅另一端的电话电梯了，但她回头看了看，只见哈利向她冲过来，又对他施了一个咒语。 他躲到魔法兄弟会喷泉的后面，咒语从他身边呼啸而过，击中了正厅另一端的锻金大门，大门像钟声一样响了起来。 再也没有脚步声了。 她已经停止了奔跑。他蹲在雕像后面，倾听着。
