He slid a considerable way down what felt like a stone slide, then landed on cold, damp earth.
他滑了相當長的一段路，那段路像是石頭滑梯一樣，然后他碰到了寒冷潮濕的土地。
He stood up, looking around. It was pitch dark.
他站了起來，向四周看了看。四周烏黑一片。
He held up his wand, muttered, 'Lumos!' and saw that he was in a very narrow, low, earthy passageway.
他舉起魔杖咕噥道：“熒光閃爍！”于是就看見自己在一條很狹窄低矮的通道里。
He raised the map, tapped it with the tip of his wand and muttered, 'Mischief managed!'
他舉起地圖，用魔杖的末端輕敲它并且咕噥道：“惡作劇完畢！”
The map went blank at once.
地圖馬上就變成了一片空白。
He folded it carefully, tucked it inside his robes, then, heart beating fast, both excited and apprehensive, he set off.
他仔細地卷起地圖，把它塞到袍子里面，然后，由于興奮和害怕，心跳得很快。他就這樣出發了。
The passage twisted and turned, more like the burrow of a giant rabbit than anything else.
這條通道彎彎越曲，和兔子的地道沒有什么兩樣。
Harry hurried along it, stumbling now and then on the uneven floor, holding his wand out in front of him.
哈利匆匆地走著，由于地面不平，時不時地跌跌絆絆，一路上他都把魔杖舉在面前。
It took ages, but Harry had the thought of Honeydukes to sustain him.
走了很長很長時間，但是哈利有蜂蜜公爵的前景在鼓舞著他前進。
After what felt like an hour, the passage began to rise.
大約一個小時以后，通道向上伸去。
Panting, Harry sped up, his face hot, his feet very cold.
哈利喘息著加快速度，臉是紅的，雙腳卻是冷的。
Ten minutes later, he came to the foot of some worn stone steps which rose out of sight above him.
十分鐘后，他走到了一道破損的石階腳下，石階一直伸展到上面他看不見的地方。
Careful not to make any noise, Harry began to climb.
哈利小心不弄出聲音來，開始向上爬去。
A hundred steps, two hundred steps, he lost count as he climbed, watching his feet ... then, without warning, his head hit something hard.
一百級、二百級，他邊爬邊數，后來就數亂了。他爬呀爬，注意著自己的雙腳……然后，他冷不丁一頭撞到了什么堅硬的東西上。
It seemed to be a trapdoor.
這好像是扇地板門。
Harry stood there, massaging the top of his head, listening.
哈利站在那里，摸著自己被撞痛的腦袋，聽著。
He couldn't hear any sounds above him.
他聽不到上面有什么聲音。
Very slowly, he pushed the trapdoor open and peered over the edge.
他很慢地推開那扇地板門，偷偷地向外窺看。
