Quietly as possible, they creptalongthe next corridor after Snape's fading footsteps.
他们跟着斯内普渐渐远去的脚步声，悄悄顺着另一道走廊向前走，尽量不发出声音。
He's heading for the third floor, Harry said, but Ron held up his hand.
他在朝三楼走呢。哈利说。但是罗恩举起了手。
Can you smell something?
你能闻到什么吗？
Harry sniffed and a foul stench reached his nostrils, a mixture of old socks and the kind of public toilet no one seems to clean.
哈利吸了吸鼻子，一股恶臭钻进他的鼻孔，那是一种臭袜子和从来无人打扫的公共厕所混合在一起的气味。
And then they heard it，a low grunting, and the shuffling footfalls of gigantic feet.
接着他们听见了一阵低沉的咕哝声和巨大的脚掌拖在地上走路的声音。
Ron pointed，at the end of a passage to the left, something huge was moving toward them.
罗恩注意到：在左边一条通道的尽头，一个庞然大物正向他们这边移动。
They shrank into the shadows and watched as it emerged into a patch of moonlight.
他们赶紧退缩到暗处，注视着它慢慢走进一片月光。
It was a horrible sight. Twelve feet tall, its skin was a dull, granite gray,
那景象十分恐怖。它足有十二英尺高，皮肤暗淡无光，像花岗岩一般灰乎乎的
its great lumpy body like a boulder with its small bald head perched on top like a coconut.
庞大而蠢笨的身体像一堆巨大的泥砾，上面顶着一个可可豆一般的小脑袋。
It had short legs thick as tree trunks with flat, horny feet.
它的短腿粗壮得像树桩，下面是扁平的、粗硬起茧的大脚。
The smell coming from it was incredible.
它身上散发出的那股气味臭得令人作呕。
It was holding a huge woodenclub, which dragged along the floor because its arms were so long.
它手里抓着一根粗大的木棍，由于它的手臂很长，木棍在地上拖着。
