Harry summoned what remained of his courage.
哈利鼓起他剩余的一点儿勇气。
So you never — never attacked anyone?
“那么你从来没有——从来没有攻击过任何人？”
Never, croaked the old spider.
“没有，”老蜘蛛怨恨地说，
"It would have been my instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I never harmed a human.
“我有这种本能，但出于对海格的尊敬，我从未伤害过一个人。
The body of the girl who was killed was discovered in a bathroom.
那个被害姑娘的尸体是在一间盥洗室里发现的。
I never saw any part of the castle but the cupboard in which I grew up.
而除了我在里面长大的碗橱，我从未见过城堡的任何部分。
Our kind like the dark and the quiet..."
我们蜘蛛喜欢阴暗和寂静……”
But then... Do you know what did kill that girl? said Harry.
“可是当时……你知道是什么害死了那姑娘吗？”哈利说，
"Because whatever it is, it's back and attacking people again—"
“因为不管那是什么东西，现在又回来对人发起攻击了——”
His words were drowned by a loud outbreak of clicking and the rustling of many long legs shifting angrily;
顿时，咔哒咔哒的声音响作一团，无数条长腿在窸窸窣窣地移动，
large black shapes shifted all around him.
庞大的黑影在他周围晃来晃去。
The thing that lives in the castle, said Aragog, "is an ancient creature we spiders fear above all others.
“那个住在城堡里的家伙，”阿拉戈克说，“是一种我们蜘蛛最害怕的古代生物。
Well do I remember how I pleaded with Hagrid to let me go, when I sensed the beast moving about the school."
我记得很清楚，当我感觉到那野兽在学校里到处活动时，我曾恳求海格放我走。”
What is it? said Harry urgently.
“它是什么？”哈利迫切地问。
More loud clicking, more rustling; the spiders seemed to be closing in.
咔哒咔哒声更响了，窸窸窣窣的声音也更密了，蜘蛛们似乎正在围拢过来。
We do not speak of it! said Aragog fiercely. "
“我们不说！”阿拉戈克情绪激烈地说，
We do not name it!
“我们不说出它的名字！
I never even told Hagrid the name of that dread creature, though he asked me, many times."
我甚至没有把那个可怕生物的名字告诉海格，尽管他问过我，问过许多次。”
