22 The Deathly Hallows

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO THE DEATHLY HALLOWS Harry fell, panting, onto grass and scrambled up at once. They seemed to have landed in the corner of a field at dusk; Hermione was already running in a circle around them, waving her wand. "Protego Totalum... Salvio Hexia..."

第二十二章死亡圣器哈利气喘吁吁地倒在草地上，立刻爬了起来。 他们似乎是在黄昏时分降落在田野的角落里；赫敏已经绕着他们跑了一圈，挥舞着魔杖。 “盔甲护身Totalum…Salvio Hexia……”

"That treacherous old bleeder!" Ron panted, emerging from beneath the Invisibility Cloak and throwing it to Harry. "Hermione, you're a genius, a total genius, I can't believe we got out of that!" "Cave Inimicum... Didn't I say it was an Erumpent horn, didn't I tell him? And now his house has been blown apart!" "Serves him right," said Ron, examining his torn jeans and the cuts to his legs. "What d'you reckon they'll do to him?" "Oh, I hope they don't kill him!" groaned Hermione. "That's why I wanted the Death Eaters to get a glimpse of Harry before we left, so they knew Xenophilius hadn't been lying!" "Why hide me, though?" asked Ron. "You're supposed to be in bed with spattergroit, Ron! They've kidnapped Luna because her father supported Harry! What would happen to your family if they knew you're with him?" "But what about your mum and dad?"

“那个奸诈的老家伙！”罗恩喘着气说，从隐形衣下面钻出来，扔给哈利。 “赫敏，你真是个天才，一个十足的天才，我真不敢相信我们竟然侥幸逃脱了！”“洞穴Inimicum… 我不是说那是角兽的角吗，我不是告诉他了吗？ 现在他的房子被炸毁了！”“他活该。”罗恩说，一边检查着破牛仔裤和腿上的伤口。 “你认为他们会怎么处置他？”“哦，我希望他们不会杀了他！”赫敏呻吟道。 “所以我想在我们离开之前让食死徒看一眼哈利，这样他们就知道谢诺菲留斯没有撒谎！”“可是为什么要把我藏起来呢？”罗恩问。 “你应该得了散花痘躺在床上，罗恩！”他们绑架卢娜是因为她父亲支持哈利！如果你的家人知道你和他在一起，他们会怎么想？”“但是你的爸爸妈妈呢？”

"They're in Australia," said Hermione. "They should be all right. They don't know anything." "You're a genius," Ron repeated, looking awed. "Yeah, you are, Hermione," agreed Harry fervently. "I don't know what we'd do without you." She beamed, but became solemn at once. "What about Luna?" "Well, if they're telling the truth and she's still alive—" began Ron. "Don't say that, don't say it!" squealed Hermione. "She must be alive, she must!" "Then she'll be in Azkaban, I expect," said Ron. "Whether she survives the place, though... Loads don't...." "She will," said Harry. He could not bear to contemplate the alternative. "She's tough, Luna, much tougher than you'd think. She's probably teaching all the inmates about Wrackspurts and Nargles."

“他们在澳大利亚。”赫敏说。 “他们应该没事的。 他们什么都不知道。” “你真是个天才。”罗恩重复了一遍，满脸敬畏。 “是啊，赫敏。”哈利热烈地附和道。 “我不知道没有你我们该怎么办。” 她笑了，但马上变得严肃起来。 “卢娜怎么办？”“嗯，如果他们说的是实话，她还活着——”罗恩开始说。 “别这么说，别这么说！”赫敏尖叫道。 “她一定还活着，一定！”“我想她会被关在阿兹卡班。”罗恩说。 “不过，她能否在这个地方活下来…… 加载不……”“她会的。”哈利说。 他无法忍受考虑另一种选择。 “她很坚强，卢娜，比你想象的要坚强得多。 她可能正在教所有的囚犯关于噼里啪啦和Nargles的知识。”

"I hope you're right," said Hermione. She passed a hand over her eyes. "I'd feel so sorry for Xenophilius if—" "—if he hadn't just tried to sell us to the Death Eaters, yeah," said Ron. They put up the tent and retreated inside it, where Ron made them tea. After their narrow escape, the chilly, musty old place felt like home: safe, familiar, and friendly. "Oh, why did we go there?" groaned Hermione after a few minutes' silence. "Harry, you were right, it was Godric's Hollow all over again, a complete waste of time! The Deathly Hallows... such rubbish... although actually," a sudden thought seemed to have struck her, "he might have made it all up, mightn't he? He probably doesn't believe in the Deathly Hallows at all, he just wanted to keep us talking until the Death Eaters arrived!"

“我希望你是对的。”赫敏说。 她用一只手捂住眼睛。 “如果——如果他刚才没有把我们卖给食死徒，我真替谢诺菲留斯感到难过。”罗恩说。 他们支起帐篷，退了进去，罗恩给他们沏了茶。 在他们死里逃生之后，这个寒冷、发霉的老地方感觉就像家一样：安全、熟悉、友好。 “哦，我们为什么要去那儿？”沉默了几分钟后，赫敏呻吟道。 “哈利，你说得对，现在又是戈德里克山谷，完全是浪费时间！”死亡圣器…… 这样的垃圾……不过实际上，”她似乎突然有了一个念头，“这一切都可能是他编出来的，是不是？ 他可能根本不相信死亡圣器，他只是想让我们一直聊到食死徒来！”

"I don't think so," said Ron. "It's a damn sight harder making stuff up when you're under stress than you'd think. I found that out when the Snatchers caught me. It was much easier pretending to be Stan, because I knew a bit about him, than inventing a whole new person. Old Lovegood was under loads of pressure, trying to make sure we stayed put. I reckon he told us the truth, or what he thinks is the truth, just to keep us talking." "Well, I don't suppose it matters," sighed Hermione. "Even if he was being honest, I never heard such a lot of nonsense in all my life." "Hang on, though," said Ron. "The Chamber of Secrets was supposed to be a myth, wasn't it?" "But the Deathly Hallows can't exist, Ron!" "You keep saying that, but one of them can," said Ron. "Harry's Invisibility Cloak—" "'The Tale of the Three Brothers' is a story," said Hermione firmly. "A story about how humans

“我不这么认为。”罗恩说。 “当你处于压力之下时，编故事比你想象的要难得多。 我是在搜捕队抓住我的时候发现的。 假装自己是斯坦要容易得多，因为我对他有一点了解，而不是虚构一个全新的人。 老洛夫古德承受着巨大的压力，想要确保我们留在原地。 我想他对我们说的是实话，或者他认为是实话，只是为了让我们继续谈下去。” “嗯，我想这没什么关系。”赫敏叹了口气。 “即使他是诚实的，我也从来没听过这么多废话。” “不过，别着急。”罗恩说。 “密室应该是个神话，不是吗？”“但是死亡圣器是不可能存在的，罗恩！”“你一直这么说，但他们中有一个可以。”罗恩说。 “《三兄弟的故事》是一个故事。”赫敏坚定地说。 “一个关于人类如何

are frightened of death. If surviving was as simple as hiding under the Invisibility Cloak, we'd have everything we need already!" "I don't know. We could do with an unbeatable wand," said Harry, turning the blackthorn wand he so disliked over in his fingers. "There's no such thing, Harry!" "You said there have been loads of wands— the Deathstick and whatever they were called—" "All right, even if you want to kid yourself the Elder Wand's real, what about the Resurrection Stone?" Her fingers sketched quotation marks around the name, and her tone dripped sarcasm. "No magic can raise the dead, and that's that!" "When my wand connected with You-Know- Who's, it made my mum and dad appear... and Cedric..." "But they weren't really back from the dead, were they?" said Hermione. "Those kinds of— of

他们害怕死亡。如果生存就像躲在隐形衣里那么简单，我们早就万事通了！”“我不知道。 我们需要一根无敌的魔杖。”哈利说着，把那根他极不喜欢的黑刺李木魔杖在手指间翻来覆去。 “没有这种事，哈利！”“好吧，就算你想骗自己说老魔杖是真的，那复活石呢？”她的手指在名字周围画上了引号，语气里带着讽刺。 “没有魔法能起死回生，就是这样！”“当我的魔杖和神秘人的魔杖连在一起时，我爸妈就出现了…… 和塞德里克……”“但他们并没有真的死而复生，是吗？”赫敏说。 “那种——那种
