people all around them stared and a guard nearby yelled, “What in blazes d'you think you're doing?”
許多人圍著他們看，旁邊一個警衛喊道：“你們到底在搞什么名堂？”
“Lost control of the trolley,” Harry gasped, clutching his ribs as he got up.
“車子脫手了。”哈利喘著氣說，捂著肋骨爬起來。
Ron ran to pick up Hedwig, who was causing such a scene that there was a lot of muttering about cruelty to animals from the surrounding crowd.
羅恩跑過去撿起海德薇，它還在那里大吵大叫，使得許多圍觀的人說他們虐待動物。
“Why can't we get through?” Harry hissed to Ron.
“我們為什么過不去？”哈利小聲問羅恩。
“I dunno —”
“我不知道—”
Ron looked wildly around. A dozen curious people were still watching them.
羅恩焦急地看看四周，還有十幾個人好奇地注視著他們。
“We're going to miss the train,” Ron whispered.
“我們要誤車了，”羅恩小聲說，
“I don't understand why the gateway's sealed itself —”
“我不懂通道為什么自己封上了……”
Harry looked up at the giant clock with a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach. Ten seconds . . . nine seconds . . .
哈利抬頭看看大鐘，他有些眩暈，覺得仿佛要吐。十秒……九秒……
He wheeled his trolley forward cautiously until it was right against the barrier and pushed with all his might. The metal remained solid.
他小心地把車子抵到墻邊，使出全身力氣一推，隔墻還是紋絲不動。
“It's gone,” said Ron, sounding stunned.
完了，”羅恩呆呆地說，
“The train's left. What if Mum and Dad can't get back through to us? Have you got any Muggle money?”
“火車開了。如果爸爸媽媽不能過來接我們怎么辦？你身上帶著麻瓜的錢嗎？”
Harry gave a hollow laugh.
哈利干笑了一聲，
“The Dursleys haven't given me pocket money for about six years.”
“德思禮一家六年沒給我零花錢了。”
Ron pressed his ear to the cold barrier.
羅恩把耳朵貼到冰冷的隔墻上。
“Can't hear a thing,” he said tensely.
“什么聲音也沒有，”他緊張地說，
“What're we going to do? I don't know how long it'll take Mum and Dad to get back to us.”
“我們怎么辦呢？不知道爸媽要多久才能回來找我們。”
They looked around. People were still watching them, mainly because of Hedwig's continuing screeches.
他們朝四周望望，還有一些人在看著他們，這主要是由于海德薇在不停地尖叫。
“I think we'd better go and wait by the car,” said Harry. “We're attracting too much atten —”
“我想咱們最好回汽車旁邊等著，”哈利說，“這里太招人注……”
