" no , " he said , " and i ' ve been wondering about that . i thought it would be burning all the time now voldemort ' s getting so powerful again . 他迈着轻快的脚步走着，经过了一家空荡荡的小酒馆和几所房屋。从附近一座教堂的钟上看，时间差不多已经是午夜了。
It was three o clock ; the church bell tolled as i passed under the belfry : the charm of the hour lay in its approaching dimness , in the low - gliding and pale - beaming sun 时候是三点，我经过钟楼时，教堂的钟正好敲响。这一时刻的魅力，在于天色渐暗，落日低垂，阳光惨淡。
" i beg your excellency s pardon for keeping you waiting , " said the man , in the roman dialect , " but i don t think i m many minutes after my time , ten o clock his just struck on the lateran . “劳先生久等了，请原谅， ”那人用罗马土语说道， “但我想，我也没有迟到多久。圣琪安教堂的钟刚刚敲过十点。 ”
Indeed , a few hours later , as a great cry went up and the church bells began to chime , each one coming fast on the other , telling us that our defenses had been penetrated , the only aroma from our house was that of slow - roasting pig , growing succulent in its own juices 真的，几个小时后，随着一阵响亮的呼喊声，各处教堂的钟开始鸣叫，大家奔走呼告，告诉我们城市的防线已经被撕裂，我们家唯一的气味来自那头文火炙烤的猪，它自身的汁水慢慢渗了出来。
Whenever , looking at my watch , i see the hand has reached the figure x , i hear the bells beginning to ring in the church close by . but from the fact that the watch hand points to ten whenever the bells begin to ring , i have not the right to infer that the position of the hands of my watch is the cause of the vibration of the bells 每当我看看钟，看到钟的指针走到十，便会听见邻近的教堂敲起钟声，但是，从指针走到十点祈祷钟声便敲响这一点出发，我无权下结论说，指针的位置是教堂的钟运动的原因。
