20 Xenophilius Lovegood

CHAPTER TWENTY XENOPHILIUS LOVEGOOD Harry had not expected Hermione's anger to abate overnight, and was therefore unsurprised that she communicated mainly by dirty looks and pointed silences the next morning. Ron responded by maintaining an unnaturally somber demeanor in her presence as an outward sign of continuing remorse. In fact, when all three

第二十章谢诺菲留斯·洛夫古——哈利没有料到赫敏的怒气会在一夜之间平息，所以第二天早上她主要是用恶狠狠的眼神和尖锐的沉默与人交流，这也就不足为怪了。 罗恩的反应是在她面前保持着一种不自然的忧郁，这是他继续悔恨的外在表现。 事实上，当所有三个

of them were together Harry felt like the only non- mourner at a poorly attended funeral. During those few moments he spent alone with Harry, however (collecting water and searching the undergrowth for mushrooms), Ron became shamelessly cheery. "Someone helped us," he kept saying. "Someone sent that doe. Someone's on our side. One Horcrux down, mate!" Bolstered by the destruction of the locket, they set to debating the possible locations of the other Horcruxes, and even though they had discussed the matter so often before, Harry felt optimistic, certain that more breakthroughs would succeed the first. Hermione's sulkiness could not mar his buoyant spirits: The sudden upswing in their fortunes, the appearance of the mysterious doe, the recovery of Gryffindor's sword, and above all, Ron's return, made Harry so happy that it was quite difficult to maintain a straight face.

他们都在一起，哈利觉得自己就像在一场没人参加的葬礼上唯一一个不哀悼的人。 然而，在他和哈利单独相处的那几分钟（打水、在灌木丛中寻找蘑菇）里，罗恩变得厚颜无耻地快活起来。 “有人帮助了我们，”他不停地说。 “有人送来了那头母鹿。有人站在我们这边。 一个魂器倒下了，伙计！”在摧毁挂坠盒的鼓舞下，他们开始讨论其他魂器的可能位置。尽管他们之前已经多次讨论过这个问题，但哈利还是很乐观，确信第一个魂器之后会有更多的突破。 赫敏的愠怒并没有影响他愉快的心情：他们的运气突然好转，那只神秘的母鹿出现了，格兰芬多的宝剑又找回来了，最重要的是，罗恩回来了，这些都让哈利高兴得很难板起脸来。

Late in the afternoon he and Ron escaped Hermione's baleful presence again, and under the pretense of scouring the bare hedges for nonexistent blackberries, they continued their ongoing exchange of news. Harry had finally managed to tell Ron the whole story of his and Hermione's various wanderings, right up to the full story of what had happened at Godric's Hollow; Ron was now filling Harry in on everything he had discovered about the wider Wizarding world during his weeks away. "...and how did you find out about the Taboo?" he asked Harry after explaining the many desperate attempts of Muggle-borns to evade the Ministry. "The what?" "You and Hermione have stopped saying You- Know-Who's name!" "Oh, yeah. Well, it's just a bad habit we've slipped into," said Harry. "But I haven't got a

下午晚些时候，他和罗恩又一次从赫敏的魔爪下逃脱了，他们假装在光秃秃的树篱上搜寻根本不存在的黑莓，继续交换着消息。 哈利终于把他和赫敏多次流浪的经过，包括在戈德里克山谷发生的事情，都告诉了罗恩。罗恩正在给哈利讲他在这几个星期里对魔法世界的一切发现。 “…你是怎么知道禁忌的？”他向哈利解释了许多麻瓜出身的人不顾一切地试图逃避魔法部的追捕后，问哈利。 “什么?”“你和赫敏不再叫神秘人的名字了！”“哦,是的。 嗯，这只是我们不小心养成的一个坏习惯。”哈利说。 “但是我没有。

problem calling him V—" "NO!" roared Ron, causing Harry to jump into the hedge and Hermione (nose buried in a book at the tent entrance) to scowl over at them. "Sorry," said Ron, wrenching Harry back out of the brambles, "but the name's been jinxed, Harry, that's how they track people! Using his name breaks protective enchantments, it causes some kind of magical disturbance— it's how they found us in Tottenham Court Road!" "Because we used his name?" "Exactly! You've got to give them credit, it makes sense. It was only people who were serious about standing up to him, like Dumbledore, who ever dared use it. mclhfa. Now they've put a Taboo on it, anyone who says it is trackable— quick-and-easy way to find Order members! They nearly got Kingsley—" "You're kidding?"

别叫他V——”“不！”罗恩吼道，哈利跳进树篱，赫敏在帐篷门口埋头看书，怒视着他们。 “对不起，”罗恩说着，把哈利从荆棘中拽了出来，“这个名字被施了魔咒，哈利，他们就是这样跟踪人的！提到他的名字就会打破保护咒，引起某种魔法干扰——他们就是这样在托特纳姆法院路找到我们的！”“因为我们用了他的名字？”“完全正确!你必须给他们信用，这是有道理的。 只有像邓布利多那样认真地想和他对抗的人才敢使用它。 现在他们给它设置了一个禁忌，任何人说它都是可追踪的——快速简便地找到凤凰社成员的方法！他们差点儿就抓住了金斯莱——”“你在开玩笑吧？”

"Yeah, a bunch of Death Eaters cornered him, Bill said, but he fought his way out. He's on the run now, just like us." Ron scratched his chin thoughtfully with the end of his wand. "You don't reckon Kingsley could have sent that doe?" "His Patronus is a lynx, we saw it at the wedding, remember?" "Oh yeah..." They moved farther along the hedge, away from the tent and Hermione. "Harry... you don't reckon it could've been Dumbledore?" "Dumbledore what?" Ron looked a little embarrassed, but said in a low voice, "Dumbledore... the doe? I mean," Ron was watching Harry out of the corners of his eyes, "he had the real sword last, didn't he?" Harry did not laugh at Ron, because he understood too well the longing behind the question. The idea that Dumbledore had managed

“是啊，一群食死徒把他逼到角落里，”比尔说，但他奋力逃了出来。 他现在在逃，就像我们一样。” 罗恩若有所思地用魔杖尖挠了挠下巴。 “你认为那头母鹿不会是金斯莱派来的吧？”“他的守护神是一只山猫，我们在婚礼上看到过，记得吗？”“哦……” 他们沿着树篱往前走，远离帐篷和赫敏。 “哈利……你认为不会是邓布利多吧？”“邓布利多什么?”罗恩显得有些尴尬，但他低声说：“邓布利多…… 美国能源部吗?我是说，”罗恩用眼角看着哈利，“他最后才拿到那把真剑，是不是？”哈利没有嘲笑罗恩，因为他很清楚这个问题背后的渴望。 邓布利多成功的想法

to come back to them, that he was watching over them, would have been inexpressibly comforting. He shook his head. "Dumbledore's dead," he said. "I saw it happen, I saw the body. He's definitely gone. Anyway, his Patronus was a phoenix, not a doe." "Patronuses can change, though, can't they?" said Ron. "Tonks's changed, didn't it?" "Yeah, but if Dumbledore was alive, why wouldn't he show himself? Why wouldn't he just hand us the sword?" "Search me," said Ron. "Same reason he didn't give it to you while he was alive? Same reason he left you an old Snitch and Hermione a book of kids' stories?" "Which is what?" asked Harry, turning to look Ron full in the face, desperate for the answer. "I dunno," said Ron. "Sometimes I've thought, when I've been a bit hacked off, he was having a laugh or— or he just wanted to make it more

回到他们身边，说他在照看着他们，这是一种说不出的安慰。 他摇了摇头。“邓布利多死了。”他说。 “我看到了整个过程，我看到了尸体。 他肯定走了。再说，他的守护神是一只凤凰，不是牝鹿。” “守护神是会变的，不是吗？”罗恩说。 “唐克斯变了，是不是？”“是啊，但如果邓布利多还活着，他为什么不露面呢？” 他为什么不直接把剑给我们呢？”“搜我吧。”罗恩说。 “跟他活着的时候没给你的理由一样吗？” 和他留给你一个旧飞贼、留给赫敏一本儿童故事书的原因一样吗？”“那是什么？”哈利问，转身直视着罗恩的脸，急切地想知道答案。 “我不知道。”罗恩说。“有时候我想，当我被砍了一点的时候，他是在开玩笑，或者——或者他只是想让事情变得更有趣。
