Then, without thinking, without considering, as though he had meant to do it all along,
然后，哈利沒有思考，也沒有半點猶豫，好像他一直就打定主意要這么做似的，
Harry seized the Basilisk fang on the floor next to him and plunged it straight into the heart of the book.
他一把抓起身邊地上的蛇怪毒牙，徑直把它插進了日記本的中心。
There was a long, dreadful, piercing scream.
隨著一聲可怕的、持久的、穿透耳膜的尖叫，
Ink spurted out of the diary in torrents, streaming over Harry's hands, flooding the floor.
一股股墨水從日記本里洶涌地噴射出來，順著哈利的雙手淌到地上。
Riddle was writhing and twisting, screaming and flailing and then... He had gone.
里德爾扭曲著、掙扎著，雙臂不停地揮舞著，嘴里發出聲聲慘叫，然后……他消失了。
Harry's wand fell to the floor with a clatter and there was silence.
啪嗒一聲，哈利的魔杖掉在地上，然后一切都沉寂下來，
Silence except for the steady drip drip of ink still oozing from the diary.
只聽見墨水仍然從日記本里嘀嗒嘀嗒地滲出來的聲音。
The Basilisk venom had burned a sizzling hole right through it.
蛇怪的毒液把日記本灼穿了一個洞，還在嘶嘶地冒著黑煙。
Shaking all over, Harry pulled himself up.
哈利渾身顫抖，支撐著站了起來。
His head was spinning as though he'd just travelled miles by Floo powder.
他感到天旋地轉，就好像剛剛用飛路粉旅行了十萬八千里似的。
Slowly, he gathered together his wand and the Sorting Hat, and, with a huge tug, retrieved the glittering sword from the roof of the Basilisk's mouth.
慢慢地，他拾起他的魔杖和分院帽，又使出吃奶的力氣，從蛇怪的上腭里拔出了那把銀光閃閃的寶劍。
Then came a faint moan from the end of the Chamber.
這時，一聲輕輕的呻吟從密室那頭傳來。
Ginny was stirring.
金妮開始動彈了。
As Harry hurried towards her, she sat up.
哈利匆匆趕過去時，金妮坐了起來。
Her bemused eyes travelled from the huge form of the dead basilisk, over Harry, in his blood-soaked robes, then to the diary in his hand.
她茫然的目光先落到蛇怪龐大的尸體上，又落到穿著血跡斑斑的長袍的哈利身上，最后落到他手里的日記上。
She drew a great, shuddering gasp and tears began to pour down her face.
她打了一個哆嗉，倒抽一口冷氣，眼淚便嘩嘩地流了下來。
