There was a hand protruding from the cloak and it was glistening, greyish, slimy-looking and scabbed,
一只手从斗篷里伸出来,这只手发出微光,灰色、瘦削而且结了痂,
like something dead that had decayed in water... It was visible only for a split second.
像是什么东西死了、又泡在水里腐烂了……那只手现形不到一秒钟的工夫。
As though the creature beneath the cloak sensed Harry's gaze, the hand was suddenly withdrawn into the folds of the black material.
斗篷底下的怪物好像感觉到了哈利的注视,那只手就突然缩到黑色斗篷的褶层里去了。
And then the thing beneath the hood, whatever it was,
然后,头巾下面的东西,不管它是什么,
drew a long, slow, rattling breath, as though it was trying to suck something more than air from its surroundings.
抽了一口气,又长又慢,还颤巍巍的,好像努力要从周围吸进除了空气以外的某种东西。
An intense cold swept over them all.
他们都感到一阵寒意掠过全身。
Harry felt his own breath catch in his chest.
哈利感到自己的呼吸凝结在胸中了。
The cold went deeper than his skin. It was inside his chest, it was inside his very heart...
这阵寒意穿透了皮肤,一直冷到他的胸膛,冷到他的心里……
Harry's eyes rolled up into his head. He couldn't see. He was drowning in cold.
哈利的眼睛向上一翻,他什么也看不见了,他淹没在寒冷之中了。
There was a rushing in his ears as though of water.
耳朵里汹涌澎湃,像水流在冲击。
He was being dragged downwards, the roaring growing louder... And then, from far away, he heard screaming, terrible, terrified, pleading screams.
他被往下拉,耳朵里的声音更响了……然后,从远处,他听到尖叫,可怕的、受到惊吓的、哀求的尖叫。
He wanted to help whoever it was, he tried to move his arms, but couldn't... a thick white fog was swirling around him, inside him —
他想帮助在尖叫的人,不管他是谁,但他做不到……一层白色的浓雾环绕在他的周围,在他身体里面……
