The only sounds were the muffled voices of teachers from the classes on either side.
他聽不見別的聲音,只有走廊另一頭教室里隱約傳來老師的說話聲。
He could run, and no one would ever know he had been there.
他可以逃走,沒有人知道自己曾經來過這里。
But he couldn't just leave them lying here ...he had to get help.
但他不可能讓他們躺在這兒,自己一走了之,他必須找人幫忙。
Would anyone believe he hadn't had anything to do with this?
會有人相信他與這件事無關嗎?
As he stood there, panicking, a door right next to him opened with a bang. Peeves the poltergeist came shooting out. "Why, it's potty wee Potter!" cackled Peeves, knocking Harry's glasses askew as he bounced past him.
他站在那里,驚慌失措。就在這時,他旁邊的一扇門砰地被撞開,專愛惡作劇的皮皮鬼一頭沖了出來。“啊,原來是小不點兒波特!”皮皮鬼咯咯地笑著,連蹦帶跳地從哈利身邊走過,把哈利的眼鏡撞歪了。
"What's Potter up to? Why's Potter lurking—" Peeves stopped, halfway through a mid-air somersault. Upside-down, he spotted Justin and Nearly Headless Nick.
“波特在做什么?波特為什么鬼鬼祟祟——”皮皮鬼一個空心跟斗翻了一半,突然停住不動了。他頭朝下看到了賈斯廷和差點沒頭的尼克。
He flipped the right way up, filled his lungs,and before Harry could stop him, screamed, "ATTACK! ATTACK! ANOTHER ATTACK! NO MORTAL OR GHOST IS SAFE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! ATTAAAACK!"
他趕緊麻利地站直身子,深深吸了口氣,沒等哈利來得及攔住他,他就直著嗓子尖叫起來:“動手啦!動手啦!又動手啦!是人是鬼都不能幸免啊!快逃命吧!動——手啦!”
Crash—crash—crash:door after door flew open along the corridor and people flooded out.
咣啷——咣啷——咣啷——走廊里的門一扇接一扇地被推開,人們蜂擁而出。
For several long minutes, there was a scene of such confusion that Justin was in danger of being squashed and people kept standing in Nearly Headless Nick.
在那難熬的幾分鐘里,場面極其混亂,賈斯廷有被人擠扁的危險,不停地有人站到了差點沒頭的尼克的身體當中。
Harry found himself pinned against the wall as the teachers shouted for quiet.
哈利發現自己被擠到了墻邊。這時,老師們大聲喊叫著,維持秩序。
Professor McGonagall came running, followed by her own class, one of whom still had black and white striped hair.
麥格教授一路跑來,后面跟著她班上的學生,其中一個的頭發還是黑一道白一道的。
She used her wand to set off a loud bang, which restored silence, and ordered everyone back into their classes.
麥格教授用魔杖敲出一聲巨響,大家頓時安靜下來,她命令每個人都回到自己的教室。
No sooner had the scene cleared somewhat than Ernie the Hufflepuff arrived, panting, on the scene.
人們剛剛散得差不多了,赫奇帕奇的厄尼就氣喘吁吁地趕到了現場。
"Caught in the act!" Ernie yelled, his face stark white, pointing his finger dramatically at Harry.
“當場抓住了!”厄尼臉色煞白,戲劇性地用手指著哈利,大聲喊道。
"That will do, Macmillan!" said Professor McGonagall sharply.
“夠了,厄尼!”麥格教授嚴厲地說。
Peeves was bobbing overhead, now grinning wickedly, surveying the scene; Peeves always loved chaos.
皮皮鬼在頭頂上飄來飄去,俯視著整個場面。這時候咧開嘴巴,露出一臉壞笑,皮皮鬼一向惟恐天下不亂。
