Craning his neck sideways, he realized that they had reached the rim of a vast hollow, a hollow which had been cleared of trees, so that the stars shone brightly onto the worst scene he had ever clap eyes upon.
他把脖子扭过去，发现他们已经来到一片宽阔凹地的边缘，凹地里的树木被清除了，星星照亮了他有生以来见过的最可怕的景象。
Spiders. Not tiny spiders like those surging over the leaves below. Spiders the size of carthorses, eight-eyed, eight-legged, black, hairy, gigantic. The massive specimen that was carrying Harry made its way down the steep slope toward a misty, domed web in the very center of the hollow, while its fellows closed in all around it, clicking their pincers excitedly at the sight of its load.
蜘蛛——不像那些在下面的落叶中匆匆爬过的小蜘蛛，而是每一只都有拉车的马那么大，八只眼睛，八条腿，黑乎乎、毛森森的，像一个个庞然大物。那个抱着哈利的巨型蜘蛛沿陡坡而下，朝凹地正中央的一张雾气迷蒙的、半球形的蛛网走去，它的同伴把它团团围住。它们看见它钳住的东西后，都兴奋地活动着大螯，发出一片咔哒咔哒的声音。
Harry fell to the ground on all fours as the spider released him. Ron and Fang thudded down next to him. Fang wasn't howling anymore, but cowering silently on the spot. Ron looked exactly like Harry felt. His mouth was stretched wide in a kind of silent scream and his eyes were popping.
蜘蛛松开爪子，哈利扑倒在地。罗恩和牙牙也重重地跌落在他旁边。牙牙不再咆哮了，而是静静地蜷缩着不动。罗恩看上去的感觉与哈利一模一样。他的嘴巴咧得大大的，似乎在发出无声的嘶喊，眼睛向外暴突着。
Harry suddenly realized that the spider that had dropped him was saying something. It had been hard to tell, because he clicked his pincers with every word he spoke.
哈利突然意识到那只把他扔掉的蜘蛛正在说话。不容易听出来，因为它每说一个字都要咔哒咔哒地摆弄它的大螯。
Aragog! it called. "Aragog!"
“阿拉戈克！”它喊道，“阿拉戈克！”
