Who is it, Dobby? Harry said, keeping a firm hold on Dobby's wrist to stop him from hitting himself with the water jug again.
那是誰,多比?哈利說,同時牢牢地抓住多比的手腕,不讓他再用水罐打自己的腦袋。
Who's opened it? Who opened it last time?
誰打開了密室?上次是誰打開的?
Dobby can't, sir, Dobby can't, Dobby mustn't tell! squealed the elf. Go home, Harry Potter, go home!
多比不能說,先生,多比不能說,多比絕對不能說—小精靈尖叫著,回家吧,哈利波特,回家吧。
I'm not going anywhere! said Harry fiercely. One of my best friends is Muggle-born; she'll be first in line if the Chamber really has been opened—
我哪兒也不去!哈利煩躁地說,我最好的一個朋友就是麻瓜出身的,如果密室真的被打開了,她是首當其沖—
Harry Potter risks his own life for his friends! moaned Dobby in a kind of miserable ecstasy. So noble! So valiant! But—he must save himself, he must, Harry Potter must not —
哈利波特愿為朋友冒生命危險!多比既傷心又歡喜地呻吟著,多么高貴!多么勇敢!但他必須保住自己,他必須,哈利波特千萬不能—
Dobby suddenly froze, his bat ears quivering. Harry heard it, too. There were footsteps coming down the passageway outside.
多比突然僵住了,兩只蝙蝠狀的耳朵顫抖著。哈利也聽見了。外面的過道里傳來了腳步聲。
Dobby must go! breathed the elf, terrified.
多比必須走了!小精靈被嚇壞了,喘著氣說。
There was a loud crack, and Harry's fist was suddenly clenched on thin air. He slumped back into bed, his eyes on the dark doorway to the hospital wing as the footsteps drew nearer.
只聽得一聲很響的爆裂聲,哈利的拳頭里突然一松,里面只剩下了空氣。他跌回床上,眼睛看著漆黑的病房門口,腳步聲越來越近了。
