CHAPTER THIRTEEN NICOLAS FLAMEL
第十三章 尼可·勒梅
Dumbledore had convinced Harry not to go looking for the Mirror of Erised again, and for the rest of the Christmas holidays the invisibility cloak stayed folded at the bottom of his trunk.
鄧布利多說服哈利不要再去尋找厄里斯魔鏡,所以在圣誕假期剩下來的日子里,那件隱形衣就一直疊得好好的,放在箱子底部。
Harry wished he could forget what he'd seen in the mirror as easily, but he couldn't.
哈利希望他能輕松地忘記他在魔鏡里看到的東西,然而不能。他開始做噩夢。
He started having nightmares. Over and over again he dreamed about his parents disappearing in a flash of green light, while a high voice cackled with laughter.
他一遍遍地夢見爸爸媽媽在突如其來的一道綠光中消失,同時還有一個很響的聲音在嘎嘎怪笑。
You see, Dumbledore was right, that mirror could drive you mad, said Ron, when Harry told him about these drearns.
“你看,鄧布利多說得對,魔鏡可能會使你發瘋的?!碑敼堰@些夢境告訴羅恩時,羅恩這么說。
Hermione, who came back the day before term started, took a different view of things.
赫敏在開學前一天回來了,她的看法有所不同。
She was torn between horror at the idea of Harry being out of bed, roaming the school three nights in a row ("If Filch had caught you!"),
她心情十分復雜,一方面為哈利接連三個夜里從床上起來,在學校里游蕩而感到驚恐(“費爾奇把你抓住怎么辦!”),
and disappointment that he hadn't at least found out who Nicolas Flamel was.
一方面又為哈利連尼可勒梅是誰都沒有弄清而深感失望。
They had almost given up hope of ever finding Flamel in a li- brary book, even though Harry was still sure he'd read the name somewhere.
他們幾乎放棄了在圖書館可以查到勒梅的希望,盡管哈利仍然堅信自己在什么地方看到過這個名字。
Once term had started, they were back to skimming through books for ten minutes during their breaks.
學期開始后,他們又恢復了利用課間休息十分鐘的時間瀏覽圖書的做法。
Harry had even less time than the other two, because Quidditch practice had started again.
但哈利的時間比他們倆更少,因為魁地奇訓練又開始了。
Wood was working the team harder than ever. Even the endless rain that had replaced the snow couldn't dampen his spirits.
伍德對隊員的要求比以往任何時候都嚴格。即使在大雪過后連綿不斷的陰雨天里,他的勁頭也沒有半點冷卻。
The Weasleys complained that Wood was becoming a fanatic, but Harry was on Wood's side.
韋斯萊孿生兄弟抱怨說伍德正在變成一個訓練狂,但哈利卻站在伍德一邊。
If they won their next match, against Hufflepuff, they would overtake Slytherin in the house championship for the first time in seven years.
如果他們贏得下一場對赫奇帕奇的比賽,他們就能在學院杯中戰勝斯萊特林隊了,這可是七年以來的第一次啊。
