Which potion would be right for you?

哪种魔法药水适合你?

 

Ever wondered what it would be like to be Dumbledore for a day? Are you a restless sleeper? Constantly anxious? Don’t worry, if you’re a potions connoisseur, there’s usually a brew to help.

有没有想过，当一天邓布利多是什么感觉?你是一个不安分的睡眠者吗?经常焦虑?别担心，如果你是魔药鉴赏家，通常有一种药水可以帮助你。

 

If you’re often wishing you were someone else, you’d take some Polyjuice Potion

如果你经常希望自己是别人，你应该服用复方汤剂

 

Who doesn’t want to be Dumbledore for a day? Or indeed, anyone that perhaps you’d like to live the life of, even if just for a short time. If you’re an aspirational person, always looking to others for inspiration, we can absolutely see you brewing up some Polyjuice Potion. So, it may be a little ‘complex and time consuming’ to make, but it would definitely be worth it to walk in another’s shoes, or in Hermione’s case, walking in someone else’s paws... (a reminder: cat hair in Polyjuice Potion is not recommended).

谁不想当一天邓布利多呢?或者任何一个你愿意与之共度一生的人，哪怕只是很短的一段时间。如果你是一个有抱负的人，总是从别人那里寻找灵感，我们绝对可以看到你在酝酿一些复方汤剂。所以，这可能有点“复杂和耗时”，但如果能站在别人的立场上，或者在赫敏的情况下，站在别人的爪子上，这绝对是值得的……(提醒:不建议在复方汤剂中加入猫毛)。

 

If you’re a brilliant bookworm, you’d love some extra time with the Elixir of Life

如果你是一个聪明的书呆子，你会喜欢和长生不老药一起度过一些额外的时间

 

There’s just not enough hours in the day, is there? But there is a certain concoction that could help you get a lot more done. Created using the Philosopher’s Stone, Nicholas Flamel lived to be over 600 with the help of the Elixir of Life. Now, people would use this extra time for many reasons – but if you’re a Hermione-esque bookworm wishing you had way more time to read, this would be perfect for you and your quest for self-education. Plenty of time to take extra classes and make a serious dent in the nearest library.

一天的时间总是不够用，对吗?但有一种混合物可以帮助你做更多的事情。用魔法石创造的尼古拉斯·勒梅在长生不老药的帮助下活到了600岁以上。现在，人们会因为许多原因使用这段额外的时间，但如果你是一个赫敏式的书呆子，希望自己有更多的时间来阅读，这将是完美的你和你的自我教育的追求。有足够的时间去上额外的课，在最近的图书馆好好学习。

 

If you’re a restless sleeper – try Madam Pomfrey’s Potion for Dreamless Sleep

如果你睡得不安稳——试试庞弗雷夫人的无梦睡眠药水

 

If you struggle to switch off at night, or are plagued with the strangest of dreams, there is a handy potion that makes sleeping far more straight-forward. Madam Pomfrey prescribed this potion to Harry after the awful events of the Triwizard Tournament – for Harry was susceptible to many disconcerting nightmares.

如果你在晚上很难入睡，或者被最奇怪的梦所困扰，有一种方便的药剂可以让你更容易入睡。在三强争霸赛的可怕事件之后，庞弗雷夫人给哈利开了这种药水——因为哈利容易做许多令人不安的噩梦。

 

There are other potions used for sleeping – such as the Draught of Living Death, but seeing as nobody has figured out how to wake someone up from it yet, we’d advise staying well clear of this concoction.

还有其他用于睡眠的药剂——比如活死人服，但鉴于还没有人想出如何用它来唤醒别人，我们建议不要使用这种药剂。

 

If you’re the “that’s just my luck” type, you’d drink Felix Felicis.

如果你是“这只是我的运气”类型，你会喝福灵剂。

 

Whether you regularly get caught in the rain, lose things, or could just use a lucky break, this liquid gold solution is all you need to put things right. Just a few drops and, like Harry, you’ll find yourself in the right place at the right time – though we hope that doesn’t include Aragog’s funeral. We’re still coming to terms with that one.

无论你是经常被雨淋，丢了东西，还是只是幸运地休息一下，这种液体黄金溶液都是你需要的一切。就像哈利一样，只要几滴，你就会发现自己在正确的时间出现在正确的地点——尽管我们希望这不包括阿拉戈克的葬礼。我们还在接受这一点。

 

Of course, as Ron discovers, sometimes you don’t even need Felix Felicis to truly feel lucky – sometimes it’s just about tricking yourself into believing you can do it!

当然，正如罗恩发现的那样，有时你甚至不需要福灵剂来真正感到幸运——有时你只是欺骗自己相信你可以做到!

 

If you have a tendency to get a bit tongue tied... try a Babbling Beverage

如果你有舌头打结的倾向……尝试一种“胡话饮料”

 

Are you ever having a chat with someone and find you simply cannot access that perfect witty thing to say? We have all been there. There is a potion that could have you waxing lyrical in no time though – try a furtive swig of a Babbling Beverage next time you find yourself stuck for small-talk at a party.

你有没有遇到过这样的情况:你和某人聊天时，发现自己根本找不到完美的诙谐之词来表达?我们都经历过。有一种药水可以让你立刻变得抒情起来——下次你发现自己在派对上被闲聊困住的时候，试着偷偷地喝一大口胡话饮料。

 

If you’re simply a very anxious person – maybe some Draught of Peace would be nice

如果你只是一个非常焦虑的人，也许喝点和平剂会很好

 

Are you in a perpetual state of unrest? Can’t even settle down to watch some Muggle telly without feeling a niggle at the back of your mind? Do you worry when you don’t have stuff to worry about? You sound like you’d love some Draught of Peace then, which is recommended for those easily agitated. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But then again, this is the wizarding world.

你是否一直处于动荡不安的状态?甚至都不能静下心来看一些麻瓜的电视节目，而不让你的内心感到不安?当你没有事情可担心的时候，你会担心吗?听起来你很想喝点安宁药水，这是推荐给那些容易激动的人的。听起来好得难以置信，不是吗?但话又说回来，这是魔法世界。
