14 The Thief

CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE THIEF Harry opened his eyes and was dazzled by gold and green; he had no idea what had happened, he only knew that he was lying on what seemed to be leaves and twigs. Struggling to draw breath into lungs that felt flattened, he blinked and realized that the gaudy glare was sunlight streaming through a canopy of leaves far above

第十四章小偷哈利睁开眼睛，被金色和绿色弄得眼花缭乱；他不知道发生了什么事，他只知道自己躺在似乎是树叶和树枝的东西上。 他挣扎着把气吸进感觉被压扁的肺里，眨了眨眼睛，意识到那炫目的光芒是阳光透过头顶上的树叶照进来的

him. Then an object twitched close to his face. He pushed himself onto his hands and knees, ready to face some small, fierce creature, but saw that the object was Ron's foot. Looking around, Harry saw that they and Hermione were lying on a forest floor, apparently alone. Harry's first thought was of the Forbidden Forest, and for a moment, even though he knew how foolish and dangerous it would be for them to appear in the grounds of Hogwarts, his heart leapt at the thought of sneaking through the trees to Hagrid's hut. However, in the few moments it took for Ron to give a low groan and Harry to start crawling toward him, he realized that this was not the Forbidden Forest: The trees looked younger, they were more widely spaced, the ground clearer. He met Hermione, also on her hands and knees, at Ron's head. The moment his eyes fell upon Ron, all other concerns fled Harry's mind, for blood drenched the whole of Ron's left side and

他。然后，一个物体突然抽动，靠近他的脸。 他趴在地上，准备面对一个又小又凶猛的东西，但他看到那个东西是罗恩的脚。 哈利环顾四周，看见他们和赫敏躺在森林的地面上，显然只有他们两个。 哈利首先想到的是禁林，虽然他知道他们出现在霍格沃茨的场地上是多么愚蠢和危险，但一想到要穿过树林溜进海格的小屋，他的心就怦怦直跳。 然而，就在罗恩发出一声低低的呻吟，哈利开始向他爬过去的几分钟后，他意识到这里不是禁林：树木看起来更年轻，间距更宽，地面更清晰。 他在罗恩的头边遇见了赫敏，她也是用手和膝盖跪着。 哈利的目光落在罗恩身上的那一刻，其他的一切都抛到了脑后，因为罗恩的左半边全身都浸透了鲜血

his face stood out, grayish-white, against the leaf- strewn earth. The Polyjuice Potion was wearing off now: Ron was halfway between Cattermole and himself in appearance, his hair turning redder and redder as his face drained of the little color it had left. "What's happened to him?" "Splinched," said Hermione, her fingers already busy at Ron's sleeve, where the blood was wettest and darkest. Harry watched, horrified, as she tore open Ron's shirt. He had always thought of Splinching as something comical, but this... His insides crawled unpleasantly as Hermione laid bare Ron's upper arm, where a great chunk of flesh was missing, scooped cleanly away as though by a knife. "Harry, quickly, in my bag, there's a small bottle labeled 'Essence of Dittany'—" "Bag— right—"

他那灰白色的脸映衬着落叶飞扬的大地，显得格外突出。 复方汤剂的药效渐渐消失了，罗恩的模样介于卡特莫尔和他自己之间，他的头发越来越红，脸上剩下的一点血色也消失了。 “他出什么事了？”“分裂了。”赫敏说，她的手指已经在忙着摸罗恩的袖子了，那里的血是最湿、最黑的。 哈利惊恐地看着她撕开罗恩的衬衫。 他一直认为分裂是一件滑稽的事情，但这次…… 当赫敏露出罗恩的上臂时，他的五脏六腑都不舒服地爬了起来，那里缺了一大块肉，好像被刀割掉了一样。 “哈利，快，在我的包里，有一个小瓶子，上面写着‘白鲜精’——”

Harry sped to the place where Hermione had landed, seized the tiny beaded bag, and thrust his hand inside it. At once, object after object began presenting itself to his touch: He felt the leather spines of books, woolly sleeves of jumpers, heels of shoes— "Quickly!" He grabbed his wand from the ground and pointed it into the depths of the magical bag. "Accio Dittany!" A small brown bottle zoomed out of the bag; he caught it and hastened back to Hermione and Ron, whose eyes were now half-closed, strips of white eyeball all that were visible between his lids. "He's fainted," said Hermione, who was also rather pale; she no longer looked like Mafalda, though her hair was still gray in places. mclhfa. "Unstopper it for me, Harry, my hands are shaking."

哈利飞快地跑到赫敏降落的地方，抓起那只串珠小包，把手伸了进去。 一件又一件的东西立刻呈现在他的眼前：他摸到了书的皮脊、毛衣的羊毛袖子、鞋跟——“快！”他从地上抓起魔杖，指着魔法袋的深处。 “白藓飞来!”一只棕色的小瓶子嗖地从袋子里冒了出来；他接住它，赶紧回到赫敏和罗恩身边。罗恩的眼睛已经半闭着，从眼皮间只能看到一条条白色的眼球。 “他晕过去了。”赫敏说，她的脸色也相当苍白。她不再像玛法尔达了，尽管她的头发有些地方还是灰白的。 “帮我打开，哈利，我的手在发抖。”

Harry wrenched the stopper off the little bottle, Hermione took it and poured three drops of the potion onto the bleeding wound. Greenish smoke billowed upward and when it had cleared, Harry saw that the bleeding had stopped. The wound now looked several days old; new skin stretched over what had just been open flesh. "Wow," said Harry. "It's all I feel safe doing," said Hermione shakily. "There are spells that would put him completely right, but I daren't try in case I do them wrong and cause more damage.... He's lost so much blood already...." "How did he get hurt? I mean" —Harry shook his head, trying to clear it, to make sense of whatever had just taken place— "why are we here? I thought we were going back to Grimmauld Place?" Hermione took a deep breath. She looked close to tears.

哈利拧开小瓶子的塞子，赫敏接过瓶子，在流血的伤口上倒了三滴药水。 绿烟袅袅升起，消散后，哈利看见血止住了。 伤口现在看起来是好几天前留下的；新的皮肤覆盖在刚刚裂开的肉上。 “哇。”哈利说。“这是我唯一觉得安全的事。”赫敏颤抖地说。 “有些咒语可以让他完全恢复正常，但我不敢尝试，以防我念错了，造成更大的伤害.... 他已经流了很多血....” “他是怎么受伤的？”我是说——”哈利摇了摇头，试图理清思路，想弄明白刚才发生的事情——“我们为什么会在这里？ 我们不是要回格里莫广场吗？”赫敏深吸了一口气。 她几乎要哭出来了。

"Harry, I don't think we're going to be able to go back there." "What d'you—?" "As we Disapparated, Yaxley caught hold of me and I couldn't get rid of him, he was too strong, and he was still holding on when we arrived at Grimmauld Place, and then— well, I think he must have seen the door, and thought we were stopping there, so he slackened his grip and I managed to shake him off and I brought us here instead!" "But then, where's he? Hang on.... You don't mean he's at Grimmauld Place? He can't get in there?" Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears as she nodded. "Harry, I think he can. I— I forced him to let go with a Revulsion Jinx, but I'd already taken him inside the Fidelius Charm's protection. Since

“哈利，我想我们回不去了。” “你——什么?”“我们幻影移形的时候，亚克斯利抓住了我，我摆脱不了他，他太强壮了，我们到达格里莫广场时，他还抓着不放，然后——嗯，我想他一定看到了那扇门，以为我们要停在那里，所以他松手了，我把他甩掉了，把我们带到这里来！”“那么，他在哪儿呢？” 挂在…你不会是说他在格里莫广场吧？ 他进不去吗？”她点点头，眼睛里闪烁着未流出的泪水。 “哈利，我想他可以。我——我用反抗咒逼他松手，但我已经把他带进了赤胆忠心咒的保护范围。 自
