'I'll never know what they'd have wanted because, thanks to Black, I've never spoken to them,' said Harry shortly.
“我永遠不會知道他們的想法，因為，多謝布萊克，我從來就沒有跟他們說過話。”哈利暴躁地說。
There was a silence, in which Crookshanks stretched luxuriously, flexing his claws.
有一會兒誰也沒說話，這時克魯克山大大地伸了個懶腰，把四個爪子屈曲了一下。
Ron's pocket quivered.
羅恩的衣袋顫抖起來。
'Look,' said Ron, obviously casting around for a change of subject, 'it's the holidays!
“看，”羅恩說，顯然打算改變話題，“這是假期！圣誕節快要到了！
It's nearly Christmas! Let's — let's go down and see Hagrid. We haven't visited him for ages!'
咱們——咱們下去看看海格吧，好久好久沒去看他了！”
'No!' said Hermione quickly. 'Harry isn't supposed to leave the castle, Ron —'
“不！”赫敏馬上說，“哈利不能離開城堡，羅恩——”
'Yeah, let's go,' said Harry, sitting up, 'and I can ask him how come he never mentioned Black when he told me all about my parents!'
“啊，咱們走吧，”哈利說，坐直了身子，“我還可以問他，為什么他告訴我所有有關我父母的事情的時候，竟然從來沒提起布萊克！”
Further discussion of Sirius Black plainly wasn't what Ron had had in mind.
進一步討論布萊克顯然不是羅恩和赫敏心里愿意的事。
'Or we could have a game of chess,' he said hastily, 'or Gobstones. Percy left a set —'
“要不然咱們下棋吧，”羅恩匆忙改口說，“要不然就玩石子兒吧，珀西留下了一套……”
'No, let's visit Hagrid,' said Harry firmly.
“不，去看海格。”哈利堅定地說。
So they got their cloaks from their dormitories and set off through the portrait hole ('Stand and fight, you yellow-bellied mongrels!'),
于是他們從宿舍里拿了斗篷，通過那張肖像畫上的洞（“站住，來交手打一架，你們這些黃肚皮的雜種狗！”），
down through the empty castle and out through the oak front doors.
穿過空蕩蕩的城堡，走出橡木大門。
They made their way slowly down the lawn, making a shallow trench in the glittering, powdery snow, their socks and the hems of their cloaks soaked and freezing.
他們在草坪上慢慢地走著，耀眼的粉狀白雪上留下了一道淺溝，襪子和斗篷的邊緣都濕透了，還結了冰。
The Forbidden Forest looked as though it had been enchanted, each tree smattered with silver, and Hagrid's cabin looked like an iced cake.
禁林看上去好像中了魔法似的，每一棵樹都稍稍蒙上了一層銀色，而海格的小屋看上去像是一塊冰糕。
