Harry Potter: 10 Facts Only True Fans Know About Nicolas Flamel

哈利波特：关于尼古拉*勒梅只有真哈迷才懂得的十个细节

 

Harry Potter fans know him as the creator of the Sorcerer’s Stone, but there's a lot more to the impressive Nicolas Flamel than meets the eye.

哈迷们都知道他是魔法石的创造者，但是尼古拉*勒梅给人留下深刻印象的远不止眼前这一点。

Despite there being subtle differences between Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the character of Nicolas Flamel remains a constant. The prolific creator of the said Philosopher’s Stone, as discovered by the magnificent Hermione Granger, Nicolas Flamel is a character that is only mentioned in passing in the main books of the series.

 

尽管在哈利波特*魔法师石和哈利波特*点金石之间有轻微的区别，但勒梅的人设保持着一致。这位多产的魔法石的创造者，被优秀的赫敏格兰杰小姐发现，尼古拉*勒梅是一个在主要系列的书中仅仅顺便提及的人物。

It is only in the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them: Crimes of Grindelwald that fans of Harry Potter get to meet Flamel, as he proves to be an important ally for Scamander and company. With very few details known about this mysterious alchemist who managed to live a long and prosperous life, fans arguably have many questions regarding him. Therefore, those looking to know more about Nicolas Flamel would find it interesting to as revealed in the books, movies, world history, and Pottermore.

哈迷们结识勒梅仅是在电影《神奇动物在哪里：格林德沃之罪》中，当他确实成为一名为纽特和他的团队的一个重要盟友时。用仅有的一些细节去了解这位设法能够长生不老的神秘的炼金术士，书迷们对他有很多有争议的问题。因此那些想知道更多有关勒梅的事的书迷会发现隐藏在书中，电影中，巫师世界史中和 Pottermore（J.K.罗琳女士于2011年八月新推出的围绕《哈利·波特》书籍内容而建立的一个大型全球性网页社交网站）中的暗示非常有趣。

10Flamel Is An Actual Figure From History

10. 勒梅是一位真实的历史人物

 

Nicolas Flamel is perhaps the only character in Harry Potter, who has been inspired by a real-life person. A manuscript seller and scribe from 14th century France, Flamel gained notoriety as an alchemist posthumously.

勒梅也许是哈利波特中仅有的受到现实人物启发而创作出来的人物。他是一位14世纪的法国的一名手稿经销商和抄写员，后以炼金术师闻名。

Many started believing that his abounding wealth was the result of his alchemical genius, as well as the teachings he gained from a book on Hermeticism, written by Abraham the Jew. Furthermore, rumors regarding his immortality started spreading when a band of treasure hunters desecrated Flamel’s grave – the tombstone of which he had designed himself- and reportedly found it to be empty.

很多人开始相信他丰富的财富来自他炼金术的基因，和他从《犹太亚伯拉罕之书》中习得的知识。当时有一群寻宝者闯入了勒梅的墓——由他自己设计的，据说发现墓是空的时，有关他长生不老的传言开始传播。

9His Life Is Shrouded By Mystery & Intrigue

9. 他的生活被神秘和阴谋笼罩

Nicolas Flamel is a hugely intriguing figure with a dubious history and a life shrouded by mystery. Despite the curious speculations regarding him being an alchemist and his abounding wealth, it was probably owing to the inheritance his husbands had accrued after her two previous husbands died. Flamel was known to have made generous donations to the French  Church, which even garnered the interest of Charles VI, who had him investigated but found nothing incriminatory.

勒梅是一位有着充满谜团的历史和生活的耐人寻味的人物。尽管很多对此事好奇的人把他视为炼金术士，它丰富的遗产很可能来自她前两任丈夫死后她继承的她丈夫的遗产.勒梅因对法国的天主教堂给与了慷慨的捐赠这件事甚至引起了查理四世的兴趣，对他进行了调查，但没有发现任何罪证。

Many believe that apart from alchemy, Flamel had also found the secrets to immortality and that both he and his wife had escaped to India after faking their deaths. With many references in historical writings throughout the 17th to 19th century, as well as learned people referring to him as an alchemist, this reputation of Flamel started gaining more ground and imbued a mythical aura to this medieval bookseller.

很多人都相信除了炼金之外，勒梅同样发现了可以长生不老的秘诀，在骗过死神后，他和他的妻子逃到了印度。在很多贯穿17到19世纪的史料中推断，除了有学者称他为炼金术士外，勒梅的这一声誉开始得到更多的认可，并为这个中世纪的书商注入了神话般的光环。

8Flamel Was Born During The 14th Century

勒梅生于14世纪

Nicolas Flamel is said to have been born somewhere around 1300 to 1326 in the French commune of Pontoise. Being of the advanced age of 665 years during the events of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone this makes sense as that would have been the approximate age of the alchemist if he were born during the 14th century.

勒梅据说出生在1300到1326年间法国的蓬图瓦兹公社，如果他是生于14世纪，那么距离哈利波特和魔法石问世665年前，这将是他成为一位炼金术士的估计年龄。

Historical records, as well as Flamel’s last will and testament dated 1416, further indicate that he was alive during the 14th century.

历史记载，勒梅最后的遗言是在1416年，暗示着他14世纪仍然活着。

7He Was 666-696 Years At The Time Of His Death

他大概活了666-696岁。

Although the real Nicolas Flamel is reported to have died in 1418, many believe that his death was a sham and that he had indeed faked his death. The reasons for his immortality are stated to be his discovery of the Elixir of Life, a potion he had created using the Philosopher’s Stone. After the events of the first book, Nicolas agreed with Dumbledore regarding the dangers the stone creates and decided to destroy it.

尽管真正的勒梅据报道死于1418年，很多人仍然相信他的死是一种假象，而他确实骗过了死神。他生命永驻的原因是他长生不老药的发现，一种他用魔法石创造出来的药剂，在第一本书之后，他同意了邓布利多的观点，考虑到创造出魔法石的危险，他决定销毁它。

He kept some Elixir of Life for himself and his wife so that he could set his affairs in order before dying. Rowling had revealed on Pottermore before the publication of the sixth book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that Flamel had died prior to the events of the book, which makes his death somewhere between 1992 and 1996. Therefore, he was between the ages of 666 and 696 during the time of his death.

他还是保留了一些长生不老药给他自己和他妻子，为了在死之前完成这件使命。在出版她的第六本书《哈利波特和混血王子》之前在Pottermore上揭露了勒梅的死先于这本书发生的事件之前，只是他大概死于1992到1996之间。因此，他大概活了666-696岁。

6He Embraced Death Like Another Great Adventure

6. 他像经历一场华丽的冒险一样拥抱了死亡。

Although it cannot be fathomed why Lord Voldemort had not tried to acquire the Philosopher’s Stone during his days of power, he did attempt to steal it during the events of the first book. However, his plans were foiled by the terrific trio of Hermione, Ron, and Harry; post which both Flamel and Dumbledore decided that it was best for the stone to be destroyed.

尽管不能彻底了解伏地魔在他具有强大力量的时候获得这块魔法石，在第一本书的情节中，他曾尝试过偷窃这块魔法石。然而他的计划因超棒的赫敏铁三角泡汤了，这令邓布利多和勒梅都意识到销毁它是最好的选择。

 

Upon realizing that this meant Flamel and his wife dying, Harry saw the repercussion as something terrible. However, Dumbledore assured Harry that it might seem terrible for someone as young as him, but for Flamel and his wife death is akin to going into sleep after a terribly long day. He further said that the couple welcomed death with dignity and that for someone like the Flamels, it is nothing, “but the next great adventure.”

在意识到勒梅和他的妻子去世的事实后，哈利认为后果很可怕。邓布利多向哈利保证，对于像他这样年轻的人来说，这似乎很可怕，但对于弗拉梅尔和他的妻子来说，死亡就像在漫长的一天之后进入梦乡。他进一步说，这对夫妇带着尊严欢迎死亡，对于像勒梅一家这样的人来说，这不是什么，“而是下一次伟大的冒险”。

5Flamel Studied At Beauxbatons

5. 勒梅在布斯巴顿求学的日子

Fans would be familiar with Beauxbatons Academy of Magic owing to the Triwizard Tournament and Bill’s wife Fleur Delacour. However, few would be aware that Nicolas Flamel was the esteemed alumni of this school of magic.

哈迷们都是在三强争霸赛和克雷曼斯 波西是对布斯巴顿魔法学校熟悉起来的。然而很少的一部分注意到了勒梅正是这所魔法学校受人尊敬的校友。

He studied at Beauxbatons during the 14th century and it was while at school that he realized that he possessed the requisite skills necessary for becoming a talented alchemist. Flamel continued to support his alma mater by funding them. However, whether this donated wealth was the result of his alchemical skills has never been elaborated by Rowling or her books.

在14世纪时在布斯巴顿求学。正是在上学的时候他意识到他拥有成为一名炼金术士最必要的技能。勒梅继续通过资助母校的形式支持者他的母校。然而，这份用来做慈善的财富他的炼金术所得从没在罗琳和她的书中详细的阐释出来。

4He Met His Wife While Studying At Beauxbatons

4. 他在布斯巴顿求学时邂逅了他的妻子

It was not only his love for alchemy that Nicolas Flamel discovered while studying at Beauxbatons but also the love of his life. It was in school that he first met with his wife Perenelle Flamel (who was in fact the actual wife of the real Nicolas) and the two were inseparable ever since.

在布斯巴顿求学期间他不仅找到的他对炼金术的热爱，还找到了他一生的挚爱。正是在学校里，他第一次见到了他的妻子佩雷内尔·弗拉梅尔（她实际上是真正尼古拉的妻子），从此两人形影不离。

They not only stayed married to each other but also partook in the Elixir of Life and remained constant support to each other through many centuries. After the Philosopher’s Stone was destroyed, they also embraced death together.

他们不仅结了婚，而且还共同参与了了长生不老药的研制，并在许多世纪里一直互相支持。在魔法石被销毁之后，他们也一起走向死亡。

 

3He Is Said To Have Been Spotted In Several Places Across Generations

据说好几代人都在几个地方见过他

There are rumors regarding Flamel which indicate that he has been spotted in several places across many generations. And the writer of theHarry Potter novels, J.K. Rowling, seems to be one of the believers of this myth.

有 关于勒梅的传闻表明他已经在好几代人的地方被发现。《哈利波特》的作者 小说，J.K.罗琳，似乎是这个神话的信徒之一。

 

She revealed on Pottermore that Flamel supposedly discovered the Philosopher’s Stone and had gained immortality using it. She further stated that many streets in Paris have been named after the mystical alchemist and his wife and that there are myriad mentions of them being sighted in various places across time.

她在Pottermore上说，勒梅发现了魔法石而且用它获得了永生。她进一步说巴黎的很多街道以这位神秘的炼金术士和他的妻子命名而且有无数提到见到过他们得在不同的地方跨越了时间。

2He Met Dumbledore In The 20th Century

2. 他在20世纪与邓布利多相遇

Nicolas Flamel first met Albus Dumbledore sometime during the 1890s. They became close friends and even worked together as partners on alchemy, as mentioned in Dumbledore’s Chocolate Frog card.

据邓布利多的巧克力蛙卡片上写，有时说勒梅与邓布利多第一次相遇是在1980年。他们成为了要好的朋友，甚至还是他炼金术上的工作伙伴。

The fact that Flamel formed such close companionship with Dumbledore, further highlights the skills and genius of the Hogwarts Headmaster. Being as old as he is, Flamel must have met many talented wizards over the ages, but it was only in Albus Dumbledore that he found a close confidant and friend.

事实上，勒梅与邓布利多结成了如此亲密的伙伴关系，这进一步凸显了 霍格沃茨校长的技能和天才。作为他这样年龄的魔法大师，勒梅在他的生涯中一定见过很多优秀的巫师，但邓布利多是他找到的唯一一位知己。

1He Was Adept In Divination, Defence Against The Dark Arts, Potion Making, & Alchemy

1. 他擅长占卜、黑魔法防御、药剂制造和炼金术

 

Being a wizard who has lived across generations, Nicolas Flamel has undoubtedly acquired some skills. However, it is the second Fantastic Beasts movie that best reveals the extraordinary nature of his magical prowess. Being the only known creator of the Philosopher’s Stone, as well as the Elixir of Life, his genius as an alchemist and master potion maker are already established.

作为一名跨时代生活的巫师，毋庸置疑，勒梅有很多技能。第二部神奇动物在哪里的电影最好的展示了他超乎常人的魔法造诣。作为魔法石和长生不老药的唯一创造者，他作为炼金术士和魔药大师的天赋已经确立。

However, as showcased in the Crimes of Grindelwald Flamel also possessed divination skills, as he gazed into the crystal ball and could see Nagini and Credence Barebone, as well as the rally Grindelwald had organized at the Mausoleum of the Lestrange family. . Furthermore, he revealed that he had been away from "action" for almost two hundred years, implying that he used to be a proficient magical duelist sometime during his life, His instantaneous recognition and accurate countering of Grindelwald’s wayward Protego Diabolica, further establishes Flamel’s acute skills in Defence Against the Dark Arts.

在格林德沃之罪中，勒梅同样拥有占卜能力，当他凝视着水晶球就能够看见纳吉尼和克雷登伯恩同样看见了格林德沃在莱斯特兰奇家族的陵墓举行集会。而且，他展现了他已经逃离“action”将近200年，暗示着他曾经是一个精通魔法的决斗者，他对格林德沃的保护圈咒（创造一个保护圈，那些真正和格林德沃站在一边的人可以穿过火焰）进行瞬间识别和准确反击，从而进一步建立了勒梅对黑暗艺术的敏锐防御技能。
