原文赏析They were going even deeper now and gathering speed. The air became colder and colder as they hurtled round tight corners.

Harry longed to know what it was, but knew better than to ask.
哈利确信，一定有什么与众不同的东西隐藏在这间高级密室里，他急切地把身子往前探，盼望着最起码见到一些极好的宝石——虽然在开始他以为这间房是空的。但后来他注意到一个用棕色皮纸包着的肮脏的小包裹躺在地板上，海格把它捡了起来收到衣服里去，哈利很想知道包裹里是什么东西，但他也知道还是不问为好。

“Come on, back in this infernal cart, and don't talk to me on the way back, it's best if I keep me mouth shut,” said Hagrid.
