1月2日,中国驻英大使刘晓明抨击日本军国主义像“伏地魔”,3天后日本驻英大使反击称中国才是亚洲的“伏地魔”。看过《哈利•波特》系列电影的读者大概都知道这是一个什么样的人物,不过也难免有些读者不太了解。今天我们就简要介绍一下这个小说中的虚构人物。
Lord Voldemort (born Tom Marvolo Riddle) is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Voldemort first appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was released in 1997.
伏地魔 In the series, Voldemort is the archenemy of Harry Potter, who according to a prophecy has "the power to vanquish the Dark Lord". Almost no witch or wizard dares to speak his name, instead referring to him by epithets such as "You-Know-Who", "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" or "the Dark Lord". Voldemort's obsession with blood purity signifies his aim to rid the wizarding world of Muggle (non-magical) heritage and to conquer both worlds, Muggle and wizarding, to achieve pure-blood dominance. Through his mother's family, he is the last descendant of wizard Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is the leader of the Death Eaters, a group of evil wizards and witches dedicated to ridding the Wizarding World of Muggles and establishing Voldemort as its supreme ruler.
在该系列小说中,伏地魔是哈利•波特的宿敌,预言称其“具有战胜黑魔王的力量”。所有巫师都不敢直呼其名,而是用You-Know-Who Rowling reveals that I am Lord Voldemort is an anagram of the character's birth name, Tom Marvolo Riddle. According to the author, Voldemort's name is an invented word. "Voldemort" is pronounced with a silent 't' at the end, as in the French word "mort", meaning "death". (Source: Wikipedia)
罗琳透露说,I am Lord Voldemort这句话其实是伏地魔的出生名Tom Marvolo Riddle所有字母重新排列后得出的。她表示,伏地魔这个名字是凭空造出来的,Voldemort结尾的字母t不发音,与法语单词mort相同,意为“死亡”。
