Another branch whipped down at them, twigs clenched like knuckles.
另外一根樹枝向他們打過來，小枝條扭結(jié)在一起，像拳頭一樣。
'If that dog can get in, we can,' Harry panted, darting here and there, trying to find a way through the vicious, swishing branches,
“如果那條狗能進去，我們也能。”哈利喘著氣說，來回地奔跑著，努力想在這些惡意揮動著的枝條之間找到一條通道，
but he couldn't get an inch nearer to the tree-roots without being in range of the tree's blows.
但是他不遭枝條的痛打就一英寸也靠近不了那棵樹的根部。
'Oh, help, help,' Hermione whispered frantically, dancing uncertainly on the spot, 'please …'
“哦，救命，救命。”赫敏發(fā)狂似地低語著，搖搖晃晃地跳來跳去，“勞駕……”
Crookshanks darted forwards. He slithered between the battering branches like a snake and placed his front paws upon a knot on the trunk.
克魯克山向前沖過去。它在枝條之間躲躲閃閃地穿行著，好像是條蛇，然后它把前爪搭在樹干的一個節(jié)疤上。
Abruptly, as though the tree had been turned to marble, it stopped moving, Not a leaf twitched or shook.
突然，這棵樹好像變成了大理石，不再動彈了，所有樹葉都靜止不動了。
'Crookshanks!' Hermione whispered uncertainly. She now grasped Harry's arm painfully hard. 'How did he know–?'
“克魯克山！”赫敏低聲叫著，拿不定主意似的。現(xiàn)在她把哈利的胳膊抓得很緊很痛。“它怎么會知道-？”
'He's friends with that dog,' said Harry grimly. 'I've seen them together, Come on – and keep your wand out.'
“它和那條狗是朋友，”哈利陰郁地說。“我看到過它們在一起，來吧，魔杖伸著別動。”
They covered the distance to the trunk in seconds, but before they had reached the gap in the roots, Crookshanks had slid into it with a flick of his bottle-brush tail.
幾秒鐘之內(nèi)，他們就走到了樹干旁邊，但是在他們走到洞口以前，克魯克山就已經(jīng)把它那瓶刷似的尾巴一甩，先溜進去了。
Harry went next; he crawled forwards, headfirst, and slid down an earthy slope to the bottom of a very low tunnel.
哈利跟著進去了；他腦袋沖前爬了進去，順著一道土坡往下滑，滑到底是一條很矮的地道。
Crookshanks was a little way along, his eyes flashing in the light from Harry's wand. Seconds later, Hermione slithered down beside him. 'Where's Ron?' she whispered in a terrified voice.
克魯克山在前面不遠的地方，它的眼睛在哈利的魔杖發(fā)出的光芒中閃爍。幾秒鐘以后，赫敏也搖搖擺擺地滑到哈利旁邊來了。“羅恩在哪里？”她害怕地問道。
