Chapter Fifteen Aragog
第十五章 阿拉戈克
Summer was creeping over the grounds around the castle; sky and lake alike turned periwinkle blue and flowers large as cabbages burst into bloom in the greenhouses. But with no Hagrid visible from the castle windows, striding the grounds with Fang at his heels, the scene didn't look right to Harry; no better, in fact, than the inside of the castle, where things were so horribly wrong.
夏天悄悄來到城堡周圍的場地，天空和湖面一樣，都變成了泛著紫光的淺藍色，溫室里綻開出一朵朵大得像卷心菜一般的鮮花。可是，從城堡的窗門看不見海格大步走過場地、牙牙緊跟在他腳邊的身影，哈利總覺得這幕景象不太對頭；實際上，它比亂作一團的城堡內部好不了多少。
Harry and Ron had tried to visit Hermione, but visitors were now barred from the hospital wing.
哈利和羅恩曾經想去看望赫敏，但是探視者們都坡擋在了病房外面。
We're taking no more chances, Madam Pomfrey told them severely through a crack in the infirmary door. "No, I'm sorry, there's every chance the attacker might come back to finish these people off ... "
“我們不能再冒險了，”龐弗雷夫人把醫院的門開了一道縫，嚴肅地對他們說，“不行，對不起，攻擊者很可能還會回來，把這些人徹底弄死……”
With Dumbledore gone, fear had spread as never before, so that the sun warming the castle walls outside seemed to stop at the mullioned windows. There was barely a face to be seen in the school that didn't look worried and tense, and any laughter that rang through the corridors sounded shrill and unnatural and was quickly stifled.
鄧布利多走了，恐懼以前所未有的形式迅速蔓延，因此，溫暖著城堡外墻的太陽似乎不能照進裝著直欞的窗戶。學校里的每一張面孔都顯得惶恐不安，走廊里響起的每一聲大笑都顯得刺耳、怪異，并且很快就被壓抑住了。
Harry constantly repeated Dumbledore's final words to himself. "I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me ... Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it." But what good were these words? Who exactly were they supposed to ask for help, when everyone was just as confused and scared as they were?
哈利不斷地對自己重復鄧布利多最后說的那番話——“只有當這里的人都背叛我的時候，我才算真正離開了這所學校……在霍格沃茨，那些請求幫助的人總是能得到幫助的。”可是這些話有什么用呢？當每個人都像他們一樣困惑和驚懼時，他們究竟該向誰求助呢？
