The Draco Malfoy we met in Cursed Child was quite different to the sneering schoolboy we met in Harry Potter. While he hadn’t managed to get rid of all his prejudices, he had softened somewhat. We look at five ways in which Draco had changed…
我们在《被诅咒的孩子》中遇到的德拉科·马尔福和我们在《哈利·波特》中遇到的那个爱冷嘲热讽的男生很不一样。虽然他还没有完全摆脱自己的偏见,但他的态度已经软化了一些。我们来看看德拉科的五种变化……
他对伏地魔的看法完全不同……
When Draco Malfoy was at school, he believed the abhorrent views of his family. They were all big supporters of Voldemort, who thought that they were superior just because they happened to be pure-blood witches and wizards. They were so invested in this ideology, that Draco and his father were both in Voldemort’s inner circle as Death Eaters. Draco wouldn’t flinch at calling Muggle-borns the derogatory term ‘Mudblood’ and did call Hermione that several times at school.
德拉科·马尔福上学的时候,相信家里那些令人憎恶的观点。他们都是伏地魔的忠实支持者,因为他们碰巧是纯血统的男女巫师,就认为自己高人一等。他们对这种意识形态如此投入,以至于德拉科和他的父亲都是伏地魔的食死徒核心集团成员。德拉科不介意用“泥巴种”这个贬义的词称呼麻瓜出身的人,而且在学校里也叫过赫敏好几次。
However, the older Draco had moved away from that way of thinking. He still had a snobby attitude and some of his old prejudices lingered. Yet, with the help of his wife, Astoria, he had managed to not raise his son with those same bigoted views. While this didn’t excuse Draco’s past behaviour, it did show that he had grown and matured as a person. Where he would have boasted of his connections to the Dark Lord as a teenager, as an adult, that same connection made him feel ashamed.
然而,老德拉科已经改变了这种思维方式。他仍然有一种势利的态度,他以前的一些偏见仍然存在。然而,在妻子阿斯托利亚的帮助下,他成功地避免了用同样的偏执观点抚养儿子。虽然这并不能成为德拉科过去行为的借口,但它确实表明他已经成长成熟为一个人。他会吹嘘自己在青少年时期和黑魔王的关系,成年后,这种关系让他感到羞愧。
他与哈利、罗恩和赫敏的关系发生了变化……
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco were never going to be best friends – they would probably never even like each other. However, the animosity between them had definitely subsided since their schooldays. In Cursed Child, they were no longer on separate sides and had managed to form an uneasy truce. However, that didn’t mean the past had been forgotten. Ron especially remembered the way that Draco was particularly horrible to Hermione. Yet, things clearly had changed, as we don’t think Hermione would have ever spoken about hugging Malfoy as a teenager…
哈利、罗恩、赫敏和德拉科永远不会成为最好的朋友——他们可能永远都不会喜欢对方。然而,自从学生时代以来,他们之间的仇恨显然已经平息了。在被诅咒的孩子中,他们不再是对立的一方,而是勉强达成了休战协议。然而,这并不意味着过去已经被遗忘。罗恩特别记得德拉科对赫敏特别可怕。然而,事情显然已经变了,因为我们认为赫敏在十几岁的时候不会说要拥抱马尔福……
Ron
Malfoy, you may be all chummy chummy with Harry, and you may have produced a relatively nice child, but you’ve said some very unfair things to and about my wife . . .Hermione
And your wife doesn’t need you fighting her battles for her.Hermione looks witheringly at Ron. Ron takes the hit.
Ron
Fine. But if you say one thing about her or me . . .Draco
You’ll do what, Weasley?Hermione
He’ll hug you. Because we’re all on the same team, aren’t we Ron?Ron (hesitating in the face of her unwavering gaze)
Fine. I, um, I think you’ve got really nice hair. Draco.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child罗恩
马尔福,也许你和哈利关系很好,也许你生了一个相对不错的孩子,但你对我妻子说了一些非常不公平的话……
赫敏
你妻子也不需要你为她而战。
赫敏恶狠狠地看着罗恩。罗恩受到了打击。
罗恩
很好。但如果你说她或我一件事…
德拉科
你要做什么,韦斯莱?
赫敏
他会拥抱你。因为我们是一伙的,不是吗,罗恩?
罗恩(面对她坚定的目光,他有些犹豫)
很好。我觉得你的头发很漂亮。德拉科。
《哈利波特与魔法石》
他不再那么不情愿寻求帮助了
When Draco was tasked with the murder of Dumbledore at age sixteen, he didn’t ask for any help. He struggled alone under the enormous weight of such an evil task. Even though Snape pleaded with him to allow him to help, Draco refused his offer. In fact, Draco managed to master the tricky art of Occlumency to keep everyone out and ensure that Snape could not assist him with his mission.
当16岁的德拉科被指派谋杀邓布利多时,他没有寻求任何帮助。他在这样一项艰巨任务的重压下独自挣扎。尽管斯内普恳求他让他帮忙,德拉科还是拒绝了。事实上,德拉科成功地掌握了大脑封闭术这门棘手的艺术,把所有人挡在门外,确保斯内普不能协助他完成任务。
As an adult, Draco had managed to learn that sometimes you need to reach out to others – especially when your child is involved. With the story that Scorpius was the son of Voldemort running rampant, Malfoy had no choice but to ask his former enemy, Harry Potter, to assist him in dispelling those rumours. The amount of pride that Draco would have swallowed to do that shouldn’t be underestimated. There is no way that the young Draco would have done something for anyone else – let alone something so humiliating.
作为一个成年人,德拉科学会了有时你需要接触别人——尤其是当你的孩子牵涉其中的时候。随着斯科皮乌斯是伏地魔之子的传闻越来越多,马尔福别无选择,只能请他以前的敌人哈利·波特帮助他消除这些谣言。德拉科在做这件事时所表现出来的自豪感是不应该被低估的。年轻的德拉科不可能为别人做任何事,更不用说做出如此羞辱人的事了。
他有了新头发……
Draco Malfoy was always famous for his sleek, blond hair. While he was at school, he kept it rather short. However, as an adult, Draco seemed to have had quite the makeover and sported a long, luxurious and swishy ponytail. It’s always good to shake up your look and keep things fresh. But don’t be fooled in thinking this new ponytail meant a more relaxed, hippy version of Draco. He still enjoyed the finer things in life and still liked to look his very best – with no hair out of place.
德拉科·马尔福总是以他光滑的金色头发而出名。当他在学校的时候,他把它写得很短。然而,成年后的德拉科似乎有了相当大的改变,他梳着一条长长的、豪华的、飘逸的马尾辫。改变你的形象,保持新鲜感总是好的。但不要以为这个新马尾辫意味着一个更放松、更嬉皮士的德拉科。他仍然享受生活中的美好事物,仍然喜欢自己最好的样子——头发没有乱。
以及对农贸市场的新热爱……
Ok, so we don’t know what Draco’s previously feeling were on farmers’ markets, but we would hazard a guess that they probably wouldn’t have been on his radar. We thought it was very cute that adult Draco had an appreciation for thatched roof cottages and local produce – it made him seem like a proper grownup.
好吧,我们不知道德拉科之前对农贸市场是什么感觉,但我们可以大胆猜测,他们可能不会在他的雷达上。我们认为成年的德拉科对茅草屋顶的小屋和当地农产品的欣赏是非常可爱的——这让他看起来像一个正常的成年人。
