Chapter 17 The Man with Two Faces
第十七章　双面人

It was Quirrell.
是奇洛。

"You!" gasped Harry.
“你！”哈利惊愕得喘不过气来。

Quirrell smiled. His face wasn't twitching at all.
奇洛笑了，现在他的脸一点也不抽搐了。

"Me," he said calmly. "I wondered whether I'd be meeting you here, Potter."
“是我，”他冷静地说，“我刚才还在想，我会不会在这儿遇见你，波特。”

"But I thought — Snape —"
“可是我以为——斯内普——”

"Severus?" Quirrell laughed, and it wasn't his usual quivering treble, either, but cold and sharp. "Yes, Severus does seem the type, doesn't he? So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. Next to him, who would suspect p-p-poor, st-stuttering P-Professor Quirrell?"
“斯内普？”奇洛大笑起来。这笑声也不是他平常那种尖厉刺耳的颤音，而是一种令人胆寒的冷笑。“是啊，斯内普看上去确实不像个好人，是吗？他像一只巨型的大蝙蝠到处乱飞，对我们倒是很有帮助。有他在那里放着，谁还会怀疑可——可——可怜的，结——结——结结巴巴的奇洛教——教授呢？”

Harry couldn't take it in. This couldn't be true, it couldn't.
哈利无法相信这一切。这不可能是真的，不可能。

"But Snape tried to kill me!"
“可是斯内普曾经想害死我！”

"No, no, no. I tried to kill you. Your friend Miss Granger accidentally knocked me over as she rushed to set fire to Snape at that Quidditch match. She broke my eye contact with you. Another few seconds and I'd have got you off that broom. I'd have managed it before then if Snape hadn't been muttering a countercurse, trying to save you."
“不，不，不，想害死你的是我。那次魁地奇比赛的时候，你的朋友格兰杰小姐冲过来给斯内普施咒，无意中把我撞倒了。她破坏了我对你的凝视，其实只要再坚持几秒钟，我就把你从飞天扫帚上摔下去了。如果不是斯内普一直在旁边念一个反咒，想保住你的性命，我早就把你摔死了。”

"Snape was trying to save me?"
“斯内普想要救我？”

"Of course," said Quirrell coolly. "Why do you think he wanted to referee your next match? He was trying to make sure I didn't do it again. Funny, really... he needn't have bothered. I couldn't do anything with Dumbledore watching. All the other teachers thought Snape was trying to stop Gryffindor from winning, he did make himself unpopular... and what a waste of time, when after all that, I'm going to kill you tonight."
“当然是这样，”奇洛冷冷地说，“你说他为什么要给你们的第二次比赛当裁判？他要确保我不再害你。真是可笑……其实他犯不着费这番心思。有邓布利多在场，我什么也做不成的。其他老师都以为斯内普想阻止格兰芬多队获胜，他确实弄得自己很不受人欢迎……不过，这一切都是浪费时间，不管怎么说，我今晚一定要把你干掉。”
