19 The Silver Doe

CHAPTER NINETEEN THE SILVER DOE It was snowing by the time Hermione took over the watch at midnight. Harry's dreams were confused and disturbing: Nagini wove in and out of them, first through a gigantic, cracked ring, then through a wreath of Christmas roses. He woke repeatedly, panicky, convinced that somebody had called out to him in the distance,

第十九章银色牝鹿午夜，赫敏值夜的时候，天正在下雪。 哈利的梦是混乱而令人不安的：纳吉尼在梦里进进出出，先是穿过一个裂开的巨大戒指，然后穿过一个圣诞玫瑰花环。 他反复醒来，惊慌失措，确信远处有人在喊他，

imagining that the wind whipping around the tent was footsteps or voices. Finally he got up in the darkness and joined Hermione, who was huddled in the entrance to the tent reading A History of Magic by the light of her wand. The snow was still falling thickly, and she greeted with relief his suggestion of packing up early and moving on. "We'll go somewhere more sheltered," she agreed, shivering as she pulled on a sweatshirt over her pajamas. "I kept thinking I could hear people moving outside. I even thought I saw somebody once or twice." Harry paused in the act of pulling on a jumper and glanced at the silent, motionless Sneakoscope on the table. "I'm sure I imagined it," said Hermione, looking nervous. "The snow in the dark, it plays tricks on your eyes.... But perhaps we ought to

想象着帐篷周围的风是脚步声或说话声。 最后，他在黑暗中站了起来，走到赫敏身边。赫敏正蜷缩在帐篷门口，借着魔杖的光亮读《魔法史》。 雪仍然下得很大，他建议她早点收拾行李继续赶路，她对此感到宽慰。 “我们去一个更隐蔽的地方，”她同意了，一边在睡衣外面套上一件运动衫，一边颤抖着。 “我一直觉得我能听到外面有人在走动。 我甚至以为有一两次我看见了什么人。” 哈利在穿上套头衫的时候停了下来，看了看桌子上那个无声的、一动不动的窥镜。 “我敢肯定是我想象出来的。”赫敏说，显得很紧张。 “黑暗中的雪，它捉弄你的眼睛.... 但也许我们应该这么做

Disapparate under the Invisibility Cloak, just in case?" Half an hour later, with the tent packed, Harry wearing the Horcrux, and Hermione clutching the beaded bag, they Disapparated. The usual tightness engulfed them; Harry's feet parted company with the snowy ground, then slammed hard onto what felt like frozen earth covered with leaves. "Where are we?" he asked, peering around at a fresh mass of trees as Hermione opened the beaded bag and began tugging out tent poles. "The Forest of Dean," she said. "I came camping here once with my mum and dad." Here too snow lay on the trees all around and it was bitterly cold, but they were at least protected from the wind. They spent most of the day inside the tent, huddled for warmth around the useful bright blue flames that Hermione was so adept at producing, and which could be scooped up and

在隐形衣下幻影移形，以防万一？”半小时后，帐篷收拾好了，哈利戴着魂器，赫敏抓着串珠小包，他们幻影移形了。 他们像往常一样紧张；哈利的双脚离开了雪地，重重地踩在一片落叶覆盖的冻土上。 “我们这是在哪儿？”他问，朝四周一大片新长出来的树张望，赫敏打开串珠包，开始拖出帐篷的杆子。 “迪安森林。”她说。 “有一次我和爸爸妈妈来这里露营。” 这里到处都是雪，天气很冷，但至少他们不受风的侵袭。 那天他们大部分时间都呆在帐篷里，挤在一堆有用的明亮的蓝色火焰旁取暖，赫敏很擅长制造这种火焰，可以把它们舀起来，然后

carried around in a jar. Harry felt as though he was recuperating from some brief but severe illness, an impression reinforced by Hermione's solicitousness. That afternoon fresh flakes drifted down upon them, so that even their sheltered clearing had a fresh dusting of powdery snow. After two nights of little sleep, Harry's senses seemed more alert than usual. Their escape from Godric's Hollow had been so narrow that Voldemort seemed somehow closer than before, more threatening. As darkness drew in again Harry refused Hermione's offer to keep watch and told her to go to bed. Harry moved an old cushion into the tent mouth and sat down, wearing all the sweaters he owned but even so, still shivery. The darkness deepened with the passing hours until it was virtually impenetrable. He was on the point of taking out the Marauder's Map, so as to watch Ginny's dot for a while, before he remembered that it was the

装在罐子里随身携带。哈利觉得自己好像刚从一场短暂但严重的疾病中恢复过来，赫敏的关心加强了他的这种感觉。 那天下午，新鲜的雪花又飘到了他们的身上，所以即使是他们避风的空地上也有了一层新的粉状雪。 两个晚上没怎么睡，哈利的感官似乎比平时更灵敏了。 他们从戈德里克山谷的逃生之路非常狭窄，伏地魔似乎比以前更近了，更具威胁性。 夜幕又降临了，哈利拒绝了赫敏让他值班的提议，叫她去睡觉。 哈利把一个旧垫子搬到帐篷口，坐了下来，穿上了他所有的毛衣，但即使这样，他仍然发抖。 随着时间的流逝，黑暗越来越深，直到几乎无法穿透。 他正要拿出活点地图，看一会儿金妮的点，才想起那是

Christmas holidays and that she would be back at the Burrow. Every tiny movement seemed magnified in the vastness of the forest. Harry knew that it must be full of living creatures, but he wished they would all remain still and silent so that he could separate their innocent scurryings and prowlings from noises that might proclaim other, sinister movements. He remembered the sound of a cloak slithering over dead leaves many years ago, and at once thought he heard it again before mentally shaking himself. Their protective enchantments had worked for weeks; why should they break now? And yet he could not throw off the feeling that something was different tonight. Several times he jerked upright, his neck aching because he had fallen asleep, slumped at an awkward angle against the side of the tent. The night reached such a depth of velvety blackness that he might have been suspended in limbo

圣诞节假期，她会回到陋居。 在广阔的森林里，每一个微小的动作似乎都被放大了。 哈利知道里面一定充满了生物，但他希望它们都能保持安静，这样他就能把它们无辜的奔跑和徘徊与可能预示着其他邪恶活动的声音区分开来。 他想起了许多年前斗篷在枯叶上滑动的声音，他立刻觉得自己又听到了这个声音，心里还没抖一下。 他们的保护魔法已经起了好几个星期的作用；为什么他们现在要崩溃呢？ 然而，他无法摆脱今晚有些不同的感觉。 有几次他猛地站起来，脖子疼，因为他睡着了，以一个尴尬的角度靠在帐篷边上。 夜色变得如此深沉，如天鹅绒般漆黑，他仿佛被悬在了地狱的边缘

between Disapparition and Apparition. He had just held up a hand in front of his face to see whether he could make out his fingers when it happened. A bright silver light appeared right ahead of him, moving through the trees. Whatever the source, it was moving soundlessly. The light seemed simply to drift toward him. He jumped to his feet, his voice frozen in his throat, and raised Hermione's wand. He screwed up his eyes as the light became blinding, the trees in front of it pitch-black in silhouette, and still the thing came closer.... And then the source of the light stepped out from behind an oak. It was a silver-white doe, moon-bright and dazzling, picking her way over the ground, still silent, and leaving no hoofprints in the fine powdering of snow. She stepped toward him, her beautiful head with its wide, long-lashed eyes held high.

幻影移形和幻影显形之间的区别。 他刚把一只手举到面前，看能不能看清自己的手指，事情就发生了。 一道明亮的银光出现在他的正前方，穿过树林。 不管来源是什么，它在无声地移动。 那光似乎只是向他飘来。 他跳了起来，声音僵在喉咙里，举起赫敏的魔杖。 当光线变得刺眼时，他眯起眼睛，前面的树是漆黑的剪影，但那东西还是越来越近.... 然后光源从一棵橡树后面出来了。 那是一只银白色的母鹿，像月光一样皎洁耀眼，在地上摸索着前进，仍然沉默不语，在细碎的雪粉上没有留下蹄印。 她朝他走了过来，美丽的脑袋和长睫毛的大眼睛抬得高高的。
