10 Saddest Things About Albus Severus Potter

阿不思·西弗勒斯·波特的10件伤心事

 

译者：兔子

 

There’s perhaps no one more misunderstood in the Harry Potter series than Albus Severus. His role in shattering the timeline in Cursed Child and disrespecting Harry in the story has led to Albus being considered as among the worst characters in the Harry Potter series, but the truth is quite the opposite.

在哈利波特系列中，也许没有人比阿不思·西弗勒斯更冤枉了。阿不思在《被诅咒的孩子》中对哈利的不尊重，使他被认为是整个系列中最糟糕的角色之一，但事实上并非如此。

 

As the son of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley, Albus felt tremendous pressure to live up to his families’ names, yet most of these issues aren’t addressed both by fans and in-universe characters. It’s interesting just how much more sympathetic Albus appears when the sad aspects of his background are explored. 

作为哈利·波特和金妮·韦斯莱的儿子，阿不思背负着很大的压力，然而这些问题大多数都没有得到很好的解决。有趣的是，当我们对阿不思的不幸遭遇进行探究时，人们对会更加同情。

 

10 His Name Itself Placed Extreme Expectations On Him

他的名字本身就给了他过高的期望

 

Harry named his children after deceased people who made an impact on his life, but using the names of extremely popular figures in Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape was setting his son up for failure.

哈利爱用对他人生有重大影响的已故人物的名字给他的孩子取名，但用阿不思·邓布利多和西弗勒斯·斯内普等具有很大影响力的人物的名字，会让他的儿子走向堕落。

 

After all, Albus being namedafter two of the bravest headmasters meant he was always associated with their legacy. He was essentially the personification of what Snape and Dumbledore left behind, and not fulfilling those lofty heights took a huge toll on him. Entering Hogwarts not only as a Potter, but as Albus Severus, instantly turned the boy into a figure he could never hope to match.

毕竟，阿不思是以两位最勇敢的校长的名字命名的，这意味着他总是被和他们联系在一起。好像他就是斯内普和邓布利多留下的东西的化身，没有达到他们那样的成就就是失败的。不仅以波特的身份，而且以阿不思·西弗勒斯的身份进入霍格沃茨，这把男孩变成了他永远无法企及的人物。

 

9 His Elder Brother Relentlessly Teased Him

9 他的哥哥经常无情地取笑他

 

From what was shown between them, there wasn’t really any support from James toward Albus, as he kept mocking his brother in public. James had no sympathy toward Albus’ reservations about Hogwarts and chose to terrify him with false stories instead.

詹姆对阿不思阿不思并不友好，因为他一直在公开场合嘲笑他的弟弟。詹姆对阿不思对霍格沃茨的保留态度非但不同情，甚至用编造的故事来吓唬他。

 

While Ron Weasley had also been teased by Fred and George, the latter two were also shown to be loving toward him when it counted. On the other hand, Albus could never turn toward his elder sibling for support and was left alienated as a result. 

虽然罗恩·韦斯莱也曾被弗雷德和乔治取笑过，但弗雷德和乔治在必要的时候也表现出了对他的爱。可是阿不思从来没有得到过哥哥的支持。

 

8 His Father Saw Him As A Disappointment To A Degree

8 他父亲认为他令人失望

Harry didn’t say it out loud, but Albus had an inkling his father was disappointed that he hadn’t met his expectations. When Albus angrily revealed he felt burdened for being Harry’s son and sometimes wished he wasn’t, Harry hit back that he felt the same way. 

哈利虽然没有明说，但阿不思隐约感觉到，他父亲对他感到很失望。当阿不思愤怒地说，他为自己是哈利的儿子而感到有压力，有时甚至希望自己不是，哈利反驳说，作为阿不思的父亲，他也有同样的感觉。

 

This confirmed Albus’ fears that he failed his father, which contributed heavily to his identity crisis. Although Harry apologized for it, Albus now knew that Harry had held on to this disappointment in the back of his mind for a long time and that he was the black sheep of the family to an extent.

这证实了阿不思的对辜负了父亲期望的担心，这在很大程度上导致了他对自己身份的不认同感。虽然哈利也为此道歉了，但阿不思已经才知道，哈利一直以来都把这种对他的失望留在心里。

 

7 He Was Mocked For Being A Slytherin

7 他因为是斯莱特林而被嘲笑

 

The stigma around Slytherin only grew further after the Battle of Hogwarts, to the point where Albus was terrified to be placed there. Although Slytherin has many strong qualities, Albus wasn’t allowed to explore its potential as he was instantly mocked after he was chosen as a Slytherin.

在霍格沃茨之战之后，斯莱特林的印象变得更差了，阿不思害怕被分在那里。虽然斯莱特林也有很多优秀的品质，但阿不思不想也不被允许去发掘它的潜力，因此他被选为斯莱特林的一员后就立刻受到了嘲笑。

 

He was also treated with hostile behavior by all the students in the three other Hogwarts houses, meaning Albus essentially had the majority of the school against him. This all happened within the span of a few moments after his sorting, resulting in an 11-year-old boy being victimized for doing nothing wrong.

霍格沃茨其他三个学院的学生也对他有敌意，这意味着学校的大多数人都对阿不思有敌意。这一切都发生在他分类后的极短的时间内，这个11岁的男孩的心里受到了很大的打击。

 

6 He Lacked The Natural Talent His Family Had

6 他缺乏他家族的人所具有的特点

Albus felt out of place because he was a normal boy amongst overachievers and special people. His mother, Ginny, was a renowned Quidditch player known for fighting in the war, while his father was Harry Potter himself.

阿不思感到很不自在，因为是一个平凡的男孩。他的母亲金妮是一位著名的魁地奇球员，而他的父亲则是大名鼎鼎的哈利·波特。

 

Even Albus’ brother James was noted to be popular like their grandfather had been at school, while young Lily was the baby of the family. There wasn’t anything wrong with Albus, but being in the company of the kind of family he had made him feel insignificant, and he couldn’t find a way to voice this out to anyone.

就连阿不思的哥哥詹姆也像他的祖父在学校时一样受欢迎，小莉莉还是婴儿。阿不思本身并没有什么问题，但是在这些卓越的家人们中间，让他觉得自己无足轻重，而他又无法把这一点告诉任何人。

 

5 He Was Judged For His Friendship With Scorpius

5 他因与斯科皮的友谊而受到诟病

 

Not only was Albus ostracized for many reasons, but he was also belittled for liking the one person who accepted him as a friend. Due to Scorpius’ ties with Lucius and Draco Malfoy, he was also an outcast and his reputation caused Albus to be judged as well.

阿不思不仅因为很多原因被排斥，还因为他的朋友而被蔑视。由于斯科皮与卢修斯，德拉科·马尔福的关系，与他做朋友也让阿不思受到了诟病。

 

Albus was routinely humiliated for the company he kept, even though nobody else wanted to be his friend regardless of Scorpius’ presence. Unfortunately for Albus, having Scorpius around also caused people to judge him as betraying Harry’s legacy due to his father’s rivalry with Draco.

阿不思经常因为和他在一起而感到丢脸，尽管无论斯科皮在不在，都没有人愿意和他做朋友。对阿不思来说，不幸的是，斯科皮的存在也让人们认为他背叛了哈利，因为哈利和德拉科是死对头。

 

4 He Was Manipulated By Delphini Due To Wanting A Friend

4 他由于对友情的渴望而被戴尔菲操纵

 

The revelation of Delphini being the daughter of Voldemort changed the Harry Potter series forever, with Delphini also manipulating Albus to steal a Time-Turner. Albus was an easy target, as she appealed to him as a friend when he already had hardly any to spare.

戴尔菲是伏地魔的女儿，她操纵阿不思偷走了一台时间转换器。阿不思之所以成为合适人选，是因为在他已经没有多少朋友的情况下，就只能把戴尔菲当作朋友。

 

Albus went on to destroy time itself, believing he was doing the right thing by preventing Cedric’s death for Delphini’s sake. However, he inadvertently became the villain by falling for Delphini’s trap, thus devastating him further as he realized he’d never had Delphini as a friend to begin with.

阿不思继续破坏时间，认为自己阻止塞德里克的死的行为是正确的。然而，他无意中成为了戴尔菲的帮凶，最终他才意识到，从一开始戴尔菲就没有把他当成朋友。

 

3 No One Understood His Pain At Being Bullied

3 没有人理解他被欺负时的痛苦

 

As a result of being constantly bullied at Hogwarts, Albus took to acting out in front of Harry. He did things like burning his Hogsmeade letter and rejecting Harry’s childhood blanket as a way of showing his frustration with the fact that his father just wasn’t understanding his turmoil.

由于在霍格沃茨经常被欺负，阿不思开始在哈利面前耍脾气。他烧了哈利写给霍格莫德村的信，扔掉了哈利童年时的毯子，以此来表示父亲对他的不理解的不满。

 

Harry began thinking that Albus was unappreciative of the love he was showing for his son, not realizing he didn’t stop to ask Albus what was troubling him. All of Albus’ rebellious antics were interpreted as him being entitled, but it was really just a cry for attention for his family to understand where he was coming from.

哈利开始时觉得阿不思无情无义，也没有停下来问阿不思有什么心事。阿不思所有的叛逆行为都被认为是他的错误，但这实际上只是为了引起家人们的注意。

 

2 He Lost His Friendship With His Cousin

2 他失去了和他表亲的友谊

 

Rose Weasley was Albus’ first cousin and closest friend before they started at Hogwarts. Sadly, she phased him out of her life starting from the first year itself, as Rose’s reluctance to be associated with Scorpius and Slytherin was too great.

罗斯·韦斯莱是阿不思的表姐，也是最亲密的朋友。不幸的是，她从一年级开始就把他从自己的生活中剔除了出去，因为罗斯对与斯科皮和斯莱特林扯上关系极其厌恶。

 

He was equally hurt upon realizing that Rose’s later attempts to reconcile were only because she was told to do so by Hermione. It’s understandable why Albus became so bitter in personality, seeing as his closest friend judged him the same way everyone else had for things he couldn’t control.

当他意识到罗斯后来与他重归于好只是因为赫敏让她这么做时，他受到了更大的伤害。阿不思的性格变得更加孤僻，这是可以理解的，因为他最亲密的朋友和其他人一样厌恶他。

 

1 He Had To Helplessly Watch His Grandparents' Death

1 他不得不无助地看着祖父母去世

 

The climax of Cursed Child saw Harry take on the appearance of Voldemort in the past to capture Delphini, but he and Albus had to hide themselves when the real Voldemort arrived to kill James and Lily as it was meant to be.

在《被诅咒的孩子》的高潮部分，哈利变化成伏地魔的形象，抓住了戴尔菲，但当真的伏地魔赶来杀死詹姆和莉莉时，他和阿不思不得不躲藏起来。

 

This meant that the first and only time Albus saw his grandparents was when they were being murdered right before his eyes. He also had to witness death up close at a very young age, along with watching his father painfully relive his worst memory.

这意味着，阿不思第一次也是唯一一次见到他的祖父母，并眼睁睁看着他们被杀死。他还在这样小的时候就亲眼目睹了死亡，看着他的父亲痛苦地重温他最糟糕的记忆。
