28 Flight of the Prince

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT Flight of the Prince Harry felt as though he, too, were hurtling through space; it had not happened… it could not have happened… 'Out of here, quickly,' said Snape. He seized Malfoy by the scruff of the neck and forced him through the door ahead of the rest; Greyback and the squat brother and sister followed, the latter both panting excitedly. As they vanished through the door Harry realised he could move again; what was now holding him paralysed against the wall was not magic, but horror and shock. He threw the Invisibility Cloak aside as the brutal-faced Death Eater, last to leave the Tower top, was disappearing through the door.

第二十八章王子的飞行哈利觉得自己也在太空中飞驰。“没有发生……不可能发生……快离开这里。”斯内普说。 他一把抓住马尔福的脖颈，把他赶在其他人前面赶出了门。格雷伯克和矮胖的兄妹跟在后面，后者都兴奋地喘着气。 当他们从门里消失时，哈利意识到自己又可以动弹了。现在使他靠在墙上动弹不得的不是魔法，而是恐惧和震惊。 他把隐形衣扔到一边，那个面目狰狞的食死徒最后一个离开塔顶，正从门口消失。

'Petrificus Totalus!' The Death Eater buckled as though hit in the back with something solid, and fell to the ground, rigid as a waxwork, but he had barely hit the floor when Harry was clambering over him and running down the darkened staircase. Terror tore at Harry's heart… he had to get to Dumbledore and he had to catch Snape… somehow the two things were linked… he could reverse what had happened if he had them both together… Dumbledore could not have died… He leapt the last ten steps of the spiral staircase and stopped where he landed, his wand raised: the dimly lit corridor was full of dust; half the ceiling seemed to have fallen in and a battle was raging before him, but even as he attempted to make out who was fighting whom, he heard the hated voice shout, 'It's over, time to go!' and saw Snape disappearing round the corner at the far end of the corridor; he and Malfoy seemed to have forced their way through the fight unscathed. As Harry plunged after them, one of the fighters detached themself from the fray and flew at him: it was the

“Petrificus Totalus !”食死徒仿佛被什么硬物击中了后背，身子一弯，倒在地上，僵得像个蜡像，但他刚一着地，哈利就从他身上爬下来，顺着漆黑的楼梯跑了下去。 恐怖攫住了哈利的心……他必须去找邓布利多，他必须去抓住斯内普……不知怎的，这两件事是联系在一起的……如果他把他们俩一起抓住，他就可以逆转发生的事情……邓布利多不可能死……他跳上最后十级螺旋形楼梯，停在落地的地方，举起魔杖。灯光昏暗的走廊上满是灰尘。半个天花板似乎塌了下来，一场战斗在他面前展开，但就在他试图弄清楚是谁在和谁战斗的时候，他听到那个讨厌的声音喊道：“结束了，该走了！”只见斯内普消失在走廊尽头的拐角处。他和马尔福似乎毫发无损地硬闯了过去。 就在哈利扑向他们的时候，其中一名战士从混战中挣脱出来，朝他扑来

werewolf, Greyback. He was on top of Harry before Harry could raise his wand: Harry fell backwards, with filthy matted hair in his face, the stench of sweat and blood filling his nose and mouth, hot greedy breath at his throat– 'Petrificus Totalus!' Harry felt Greyback collapse against him; with a stupendous effort he pushed the werewolf off and on to the floor as a jet of green light came flying towards him; he ducked and ran, headfirst, into the fight. His feet met something squashy and slippery on the floor and he stumbled: there were two bodies lying there, lying face down in a pool of blood, but there was no time to investigate: Harry now saw red hair flying like flames in front of him: Ginny was locked in combat with the lumpy Death Eater, Amycus, who was throwing hex after hex at her while she dodged them: Amycus was giggling, enjoying the sport: 'Crucio– Crucio– you can't dance for ever, pretty–' 'Impedimenta!' yelled Harry. His jinx hit Amycus in the chest: he gave a piglike squeal of pain, was lifted off his feet and

狼人,Greyback。哈利还没来得及举起魔杖，他就已经压在了哈利的身上。哈利向后倒了下去，肮脏的乱蓬蓬的头发遮住了他的脸，汗臭和血腥的气味充斥着他的鼻子和嘴巴，灼热的贪婪气息扑鼻而来——“统统石化！”哈利感到格雷伯克倒在他身上；他使出了极大的力气把狼人推倒在地，一道绿光朝他飞来。他弯下腰，头朝前跑进了打斗场。 脚熟透的东西和湿滑的地板上,他发现:有两具尸体躺在那里,脸朝下躺在血泊中,但没有时间来调查:哈利现在看见红头发飞像火焰在他面前:金妮被锁在战斗中粗笨的食死徒,阿密科斯,他是把六角十六进制后她虽然躲过了他们:阿密科斯咯咯地笑着,享受着运动:“Crucio——Crucio——你永远不能跳舞,漂亮——“‘累赘!哈利喊道。 他的魔咒击中了阿米库斯的胸部，他发出一声猪一样的痛苦尖叫，被人抬起来

slammed into the opposite wall, slid down it and fell out of sight behind Ron, Professor McGonagall and Lupin, each of whom was battling a separate Death Eater: beyond them, Harry saw Tonks fighting an enormous blond wizard who was sending curses flying in all directions, so that they ricocheted off the walls around them, cracking stone, shattering the nearest window– 'Harry, where did you come from?' Ginny cried, but there was no time to answer her. He put his head down and sprinted forwards, narrowly avoiding a blast that erupted over his head, showering them all in bits of wall: Snape must not escape, he must catch up with Snape– 'Take that!' shouted Professor McGonagall, and Harry glimpsed the female Death Eater, Alecto, sprinting away down the corridor with her arms over her head, her brother right behind her. Harry launched himself after them, but his foot caught on something and next moment he was lying across someone's legs: looking around, he saw Neville's pale, round face flat against the floor.

撞到对面的墙上，滑了下去，落在罗恩、麦格教授和卢平身后，消失在了视线之外，他们每个人都在和一个食死徒搏斗。在他们后面，哈利看见唐克斯在和一个身材高大的金发男巫搏斗，那个男巫朝四面八方发射咒语，咒语在他们周围的墙上弹回来，震裂了石头，震碎了最近的窗户——“哈利，你从哪儿来的？”金妮叫道，但没有时间回答她。 他低着头向前冲去，险些躲过了头顶上的一场爆炸，爆炸把他们都炸成了碎片。斯内普不能逃跑，他必须追上斯内普——“拿着！”麦格教授喊道，哈利瞥见女食死徒阿莱克托抱着头，沿着走廊飞快地跑开了，她哥哥紧跟在她后面。 哈利跳过去追他们，但他的脚被什么东西绊住了，接着他就趴在一个人的腿上。他扭头一看，看见纳威苍白的圆脸贴在地板上。

'Neville, are you–?' ''M'all right,' muttered Neville, who was clutching his stomach, 'Harry… Snape 'n' Malfoy… ran past…' 'I know, I'm on it!' said Harry, aiming a hex from the floor at the enormous blond Death Eater who was causing most of the chaos: the man gave a howl of pain as the spell hit him in the face; he wheeled round, staggered and then pounded away after the brother and sister. Harry scrambled up from the floor and began to sprint along the corridor, ignoring the bangs issuing from behind him, the yells of the others to come back, and the mute call of the figures on the ground, whose fate he did not yet know… He skidded round the corner, his trainers slippery with blood; Snape had an immense head- start was it possible that he had already entered the Cabinet in the Room of Requirement, or had the Order made steps to secure it, to prevent the Death Eaters retreating that way? He could hear nothing but his own pounding feet, his own hammering heart as he sprinted along the next

“纳威，你是不是——？”“我没事，”纳威捂着肚子喃喃地说，“哈利……斯内普和马尔福……跑过去了……”“我知道，我在处理！”哈利说着，从地板上瞄准了造成大部分混乱的大块头金发食死徒，那个人被魔咒击中脸部，发出一声痛苦的嚎叫。他转过身来，踉踉跄跄地追着兄妹俩走了。 哈利从地板上爬起来，沿着走廊飞奔而去，全然不顾身后传来的撞击声，不顾其他人叫他回来的喊叫声，也不顾地上那些他还不知道命运的人影的无声呼唤……他滑过拐角，运动鞋被血弄得滑溜溜的。斯内普遥遥领先——有没有可能他已经进入了有求必应屋的内阁，或者凤凰社已经采取措施把守住了内阁，以防食死徒往那边撤退？ 他什么也听不见，只听见自己咚咚的脚步声，听见自己怦怦直跳的心跳

empty corridor, but then spotted a bloody footprint which showed that at least one of the fleeing Death Eaters was heading towards the front doors– perhaps the Room of Requirement was indeed blocked– He skidded round another corner and a curse flew past him; he dived behind a suit of armour which exploded; he saw the brother and sister Death Eaters running down the marble staircase ahead and aimed jinxes at them, but merely hit several bewigged witches in a portrait on the landing, who ran screeching into neighbouring paintings; as he leapt over the wreckage of armour Harry heard more shouts and screams; other people within the castle seemed to have awoken… He pelted towards a short cut, hoping to overtake the brother and sister and close in on Snape and Malfoy, who must surely have reached the grounds by now; remembering to leap the vanishing step halfway down the concealed staircase he burst through a tapestry at the bottom

走廊里空无一人，但随后发现了一个血迹斑斑的脚印，这表明至少有一个逃跑的食死徒正朝前门走去——也许有求必应屋确实被堵住了——他又滑过一个拐角，一个咒语从他身边飞过。他躲到一套盔甲后面，盔甲爆炸了。他看见食死徒兄妹俩从前面的大理石楼梯上跑下来，朝他们施了魔咒，但只击中了楼梯平台上一幅肖像上几个戴着假发的女巫，她们尖叫着跑进了旁边的画里。当他跃过盔甲残骸时，哈利又听到了喊叫声和尖叫声。城堡里的其他人似乎都醒了……他奔向一条近路，希望能赶上兄妹俩，赶上斯内普和马尔福，他们现在肯定已经到了场地。他记着要从隐蔽的楼梯中间跳过消失的台阶，从楼梯底部的一块挂毯上冲了过去
