28 The Missing Mirror

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT THE MISSING MIRROR Harry's feet touched road. He saw the achingly familiar Hogsmeade High Street: dark shop fronts, and the outline of black mountains beyond the village, and the curve in the road ahead that led off toward Hogwarts, and light spilling from the windows of the Three Broomsticks, and with a lurch of the heart he

第二十八章丢失的镜子哈利的脚踩到了路上。 他看到了熟悉得令人心痛的霍格莫德大街，黑漆漆的店铺门面，村外黑色山脉的轮廓，前面通向霍格沃茨的弯道，还有三把扫帚酒吧窗户里透出的光线。他的心猛地一跳

remembered, with piercing accuracy, how he had landed here nearly a year before, supporting a desperately weak Dumbledore; all this in a second, upon landing— and then, even as he relaxed his grip upon Ron's and Hermione's arms, it happened. The air was rent by a scream that sounded like Voldemort's when he had realized the cup had been stolen: It tore at every nerve in Harry's body, and he knew immediately that their appearance had caused it. Even as he looked at the other two beneath the Cloak, the door of the Three Broomsticks burst open and a dozen cloaked and hooded Death Eaters dashed into the street, their wands aloft. Harry seized Ron's wrist as he raised his wand; there were too many of them to Stun: Even attempting it would give away their position. One of the Death Eaters waved his wand and the

他记得清清楚楚，差不多一年前他是如何来到这里，扶着极度虚弱的邓布利多的；这一切都发生在他刚落地的一瞬间——就在他松开罗恩和赫敏胳膊的时候，事情发生了。 一声尖叫撕裂了空气，听起来像是伏地魔意识到杯子被偷后发出的声音。哈利全身的神经都被撕裂了，他立刻明白是他们的出现引起的。 就在他看着隐形衣下的另外两个人时，三把扫帚的门突然打开了，十几个披着隐形衣、戴着兜帽的食死徒高举着魔杖冲到街上。 罗恩举起魔杖时，哈利抓住他的手腕。他们的人数太多了，无法被击晕：即使尝试一下，也会暴露他们的位置。 一个食死徒一挥魔杖

scream stopped, still echoing around the distant mountains. "Accio Cloak!" roared one of the Death Eaters. Harry seized its folds, but it made no attempt to escape: The Summoning Charm had not worked on it. "Not under your wrapper, then, Potter?" yelled the Death Eater who had tried the charm, and then to his fellows, "Spread out. He's here." Six of the Death Eaters ran toward them: Harry, Ron, and Hermione backed as quickly as possible down the nearest side street, and the Death Eaters missed them by inches. They waited in the darkness, listening to the footsteps running up and down, beams of light flying along the street from the Death Eaters' searching wands. "Let's just leave!" Hermione whispered. "Disapparate now!" "Great idea," said Ron, but before Harry could reply a Death Eater shouted,

尖叫声停止了，仍然在远处的群山中回荡。 “隐形衣飞来！”一个食死徒吼道。 哈利抓住它的皱褶，但它没有试图逃跑：飞来咒对它不起作用。 “这么说，不是藏在外衣下面，波特？”试过这个咒语的食死徒喊道，然后对同伴们说，“散开。 他是在这里。”六个食死徒朝他们跑过来，哈利、罗恩和赫敏赶紧退到最近的一条小街，食死徒差几英寸就撞上了他们。 他们在黑暗中等待着，倾听着来来去去的脚步声，食死徒搜寻的魔杖发出的光束在街上飞舞。 “我们走吧！”赫敏小声说。 “现在长桌的!”“好主意。”罗恩说，但哈利还没来得及回答，一个食死徒就喊道：

"We know you're here, Potter, and there's no getting away! We'll find you!" "They were ready for us," whispered Harry. "They set up that spell to tell them we'd come. I reckon they've done something to keep us here, trap us—" "What about dementors?" called another Death Eater. "Let 'em have free rein, they'd find him quick enough!" "The Dark Lord wants Potter dead by no hand but his—" "—an' dementors won't kill him! The Dark Lord wants Potter's life, not his soul. He'll be easier to kill if he's been Kissed first!" There were noises of agreement. Dread filled Harry: To repel dementors they would have to produce Patronuses, which would give them away immediately. "We're going to have to try to Disapparate, Harry!" Hermione whispered.

“我们知道你在这里，波特，你逃不掉的！”我们会找到你的!”“他们早就准备好了。”哈利小声说。 “他们施了那个咒语，告诉他们我们来了。 我想他们一定做了什么把我们困在这里，困住了我们——”“摄魂怪怎么办？”另一个食死徒叫道。 “让他们自由发挥吧，他们很快就会找到他的！”“黑魔王不想让波特死，只能用他的手——”“——摄魂怪不会杀他的！黑魔王要的是波特的命，不是他的灵魂。 如果他先被吻过，就更容易被杀死了！”有人表示同意。 哈利心中充满了恐惧：要击退摄魂怪，它们必须产生守护神，而守护神会立刻暴露它们的身份。 “我们得试着幻影移形，哈利！”赫敏小声说。

Even as she said it, he felt the unnatural cold begin to steal over the street. Light was sucked from the environment right up to the stars, which vanished. In the pitch-blackness, he felt Hermione take hold of his arm and together, they turned on the spot. The air through which they needed to move seemed to have become solid: They could not Disapparate; the Death Eaters had cast their charms well. The cold was biting deeper and deeper into Harry's flesh. He, Ron, and Hermione retreated down the side street, groping their way along the wall, trying not to make a sound. Then, around the corner, gliding noiselessly, came dementors, ten or more of them, visible because they were of a denser darkness than their surroundings, with their black cloaks and their scabbed and rotting hands. Could they sense fear in the vicinity? Harry was sure of it: They seemed to be coming more quickly now, taking those

就在她说这句话的时候，他感到一种不自然的寒冷开始从街上悄悄袭来。 光从环境中被吸到恒星上，恒星消失了。 在一片漆黑中，他感到赫敏抓住了他的胳膊，两人一起原地转身。 他们需要穿行的空气似乎已经凝固了，他们不能幻影移形了。食死徒的魔咒施得很好。 寒气越来越刺痛哈利的身体。 他、罗恩和赫敏退到小巷里，沿着墙壁摸索着前进，尽量不发出声音。 接着，摄魂怪无声地从拐角处滑了过来，有十个或更多，因为它们比周围的环境更黑暗，所以能看见它们，它们穿着黑色的斗篷，手上长满了痂和腐烂的手。 他们能感觉到附近的恐惧吗？ 哈利对此深信不疑：他们现在似乎来得更快了，拿走了那些东西

dragging, rattling breaths he detested, tasting despair on the air, closing in— He raised his wand: He could not, would not, suffer the Dementor's Kiss, whatever happened afterward. It was of Ron and Hermione that he thought as he whispered, "Expecto Patronum!" The silver stag burst from his wand and charged: The dementors scattered and there was a triumphant yell from somewhere out of sight. "It's him, down there, down there, I saw his Patronus, it was a stag!" The dementors had retreated, the stars were popping out again, and the footsteps of the Death Eaters were becoming louder; but before Harry in his panic could decide what to do, there was a grinding of bolts nearby, a door opened on the left-hand side of the narrow street, and a rough voice said, "Potter, in here, quick!" He obeyed without hesitation: The three of them hurtled through the open doorway.

他厌恶地拖着咯吱咯吱的呼吸，嗅到空气中弥漫着绝望的气息，步步逼近——他举起魔杖，无论之后发生什么，他都不能、也不愿忍受摄魂怪的吻。 他小声说：“呼神护卫！”心里想的是罗恩和赫敏！银色的牡鹿从他的魔杖里冲了出来，摄魂怪四散开来，从看不见的地方传来一声胜利的喊叫。 “是他，在那儿，在那儿，我看见他的守护神了，是一头牡鹿！”摄魂怪已经撤退了，星星又冒了出来，食死徒的脚步声越来越响。但在惊慌失措的哈利还没来得及决定怎么办的时候，附近传来一阵门闩的摩擦声，狭窄街道左手边的一扇门开了，一个粗暴的声音说：“波特，进来，快！”他毫不犹豫地服从了命令，三个人冲进敞开的门口。
