Which magical creature would you take care of in Fantastic Beasts?

在《神奇动物在哪里》中，你会照顾哪一种魔法生物呢?

 

We come across so many wonderful creatures in the Fantastic Beasts films, but if you had to take care of one what would it be? We’ve had a think and made some decisions based on your personality.

在《神奇动物在哪里》电影里，我们遇到过很多神奇的动物，但是如果你要照顾一个，你会照顾什么呢?我们根据你的性格做了一些决定。

 

If you want to get rich quick… you'd take care of a Niffler

如果你想快速致富，你会照顾一只嗅嗅

 

Nifflers are obviously incredibly cute and are also known to be gentle and affectionate, but what really sets these creatures apart is their talent when it comes to all things shiny. Nifflers are brilliant when it comes to seeking out valuable objects – in fact goblins often keep them for that reason alone. Therefore, if you’re a bit strapped for cash, or have always just dreamed of finding buried treasure, then these black, fluffy and long-snouted creatures are the ones for you. Though just to warn you, they may be tiny but they’re also highly destructive. You would definitely find yourself having to replace the furnishings in your house on a regular basis… though with the number of glittery objects your Niffler would be bringing home we’re sure you would be able to afford it.

嗅嗅显然非常可爱，也被认为是温柔和深情的，但真正让这些生物与众不同的是它们在所有闪亮的东西上的天赋。嗅嗅在寻找有价值的东西方面非常聪明，事实上地精们经常因为这个原因而保留它们。因此，如果你手头有点紧，或者一直梦想着找到埋藏的宝藏，那么这些黑色、毛茸茸、长鼻子的生物就是你的好选择。虽然只是提醒你一下，它们可能很小，但也具有很高的破坏性。你肯定会发现自己必须定期更换家里的家具，虽然你的嗅嗅会带回家很多闪闪发光的东西，我们相信你负担得起。

 

If you are adaptable… you’d look after an Occamy

如果你有很强的适应能力，你会照顾一只鸟蛇

 

 

Occamies are rather beautiful and interesting – with their serpentine forms, wings and lovely colouring, but there is so much more to them that you initially see. They are what is known in the wizarding world as choranaptyxic. This means that they shrink or grow to fit the available space – like when one escaped from Newt’s case and grew to fill an entire attic before shrinking to fit inside a teapot. We think an Occamy would be a rather good fit for you if you have a talent for adapting to any situation that you find yourself in. As somebody who is flexible, we reckon you know when to be the life of the party and dominate the room but can also keep quiet and fade into the background when necessary. Your ability to understand change is why you’re a good candidate for looking after one of these fantastic beasts.

鸟蛇非常美丽和有趣，有着蛇形的外形、翅膀和可爱的色彩，但它们还有很多你最初看到的东西。这意味着它们会收缩或增长，以适应可用的空间，增长到充满整个阁楼，然后收缩，以适应一个茶壶。我们认为，如果你有适应任何环境的天赋，鸟蛇会非常适合你。作为一个灵活的人，我们认为你知道什么时候成为聚会的焦点，主导整个房间，但也可以保持安静，在必要的时候退居幕后。你理解变化的能力就是为什么你是一个很好的人选来照顾这些神奇的动物之一。

 

If you love an adrenaline rush… you’d look after a Kelpie

如果你喜欢肾上腺素激增，你会照顾一只马形水鬼

 

There’s nothing that can compare to the rush you get from exciting or even scary situations – like when you’re at the very top of a rollercoaster waiting for it to drop, or you’re watching the latest horror film, or if you’re really fearless and doing something like skydiving. If you’re someone who loves to get their heart racing, then we would recommend that you take care of a Kelpie. These British and Irish water demons – who often take the form of horses with a mane made of bulrushes – are incredibly dangerous and often lethal. They trick their unsuspecting victims to climb into the water and onto their backs, then drag them down to the bottom of the river or lake and consume them. Yet, as Newt proved these beasts can be controlled. All it takes is placing a bridle over their heads with a Placement Charm and then they might not kill you. As someone who is unafraid of a challenge and relishes frightening situations, we think you would get a kick out of taking care of one of these thrilling beasts.

没有什么能比你从激动人心甚至恐怖的情况中得到的那种快感更好的了——比如当你坐在过山车的最顶端等待它落下时，或者你正在看最新的恐怖电影，或者如果你真的无所畏惧，做一些像跳伞这样的事情。如果你是一个喜欢心跳加速的人，那么我们建议你照顾一个马形水鬼。这些英国和爱尔兰的水妖——它们通常以马匹的形式出现，鬃毛由芦苇制成——非常危险，通常致命。他们诱骗毫无戒备的受害者爬到水里，爬到他们的背上，然后把他们拖到河底或湖底吃掉。然而，纽特证明了这些野兽是可以控制的。只需要在他们头上套上一个带有放置咒语的缰绳，他们就不会杀了你。作为一个不怕挑战、喜欢可怕处境的人，我们认为照顾这些令人兴奋的动物会让你感到愉快。

 

If you like to keep a low profile… you'd look after a Demiguise

如果你想保持低调，你应该照顾隐形兽

 

If you’re an introvert whose worst nightmare is to be the centre of attention you could learn a lot from a Demiguise. These graceful ape-like creatures have a particular knack for making themselves invisible when threatened – so they really know how to fly under the radar. Their valuable pelts have even been used to make invisibility cloaks. As someone who understands the desire to run and hide when you find yourself in an awkward or uncomfortable situation, we think that you could easily empathise with them. While they’re not particularly known for bonding with humans, your shy nature might make you one of the better candidates for being a custodian of one of these peaceful creatures.

如果你是一个内向的人，最可怕的噩梦就是成为众人瞩目的焦点，那么你可以从隐形兽身上学到很多。这些优雅的类人猿生物有一种特殊的本领，能在受到威胁时让自己隐形，所以它们真的知道如何在雷达下飞行。它们珍贵的皮毛甚至被用来制作隐形斗篷。作为一个能理解当你发现自己处于尴尬或不舒服的情况下会想要逃跑和躲藏的人，我们认为你可以很容易地与他们产生共鸣。虽然它们不是特别擅长与人类交往，但你害羞的天性可能会让你成为这些爱好和平的动物的监护人。

 

If you seem sweet but have a scary side… you’d look after a Matagot

如果你看起来很可爱，但有可怕的一面，你会照顾玛达戈猫

 

Do people often look at you and (incorrectly) think that butter wouldn’t melt? Is your edgier and angrier side often overlooked? Are you perfectly friendly until provoked? Then you have a lot in common with a Matagot. These guardians of the French Ministry of Magic might look like tame housecats – but don’t be fooled by their innocent appearance. If threatened, these moggies turn into huge wildcats – with glowing eyes, razor sharp teeth and menacing claws. They also multiply, so you can quickly find yourself going from cooing over a cute kitty to being cornered by lots of ferocious beasts. But as someone who understands what it is like to have two distinct sides to your personality, we think you would be able to take on one of these impressive creatures.

人们是否经常看着你(错误地)认为黄油不会融化?你易怒易怒的一面是否经常被忽视?你在被激怒之前是非常友好的吗?那你和玛达戈猫有很多共同之处。这些法国魔法部的守护者虽然看起来像温顺的家猫，但他们不会被自己天真的外表所迷惑。如果受到威胁，这些猫会变成巨大的野猫，有着发光的眼睛，锋利的牙齿和威胁性的爪子。它们也会繁殖，所以你很快就会发现自己从对着一只可爱的小猫咕咕叫到被许多凶猛的野兽逼到走投无路。但作为一个了解自己性格中有两面性的人，我们认为你能够扮演这些令人印象深刻的生物中的一个。

 

If you want to forget your worries… you’d look after a Swooping Evil

如果你想忘记你的烦恼，你应该去照顾一个蜷翼魔

 

Swooping Evils might not be the cuddliest of beasts… what with their habit of sucking out brains, but they do have their uses. These bat-like creatures, with their bright colouring and spiky wings, can help rid you of memories you’d rather forget. You would just have to learn how to dilute their venom correctly and then your bad, painful or embarrassing memories would be a thing of the past. So, if you managed to fall flat on your face in front of everyone, accidentally called your teacher ‘mum’, have a habit of overthinking things or just want to rid yourself of the memories that cause your nightmares, then a Swooping Evil is the creature for you… just don’t let them get too close to your head.

蜷翼魔也许不是最可爱的野兽，因为它们有吮吸大脑的习惯，但它们确实有自己的用途。这些蝙蝠一样的生物，有着明亮的颜色和尖尖的翅膀，可以帮助你摆脱你宁愿忘记的记忆。你只需要学会如何正确地冲淡它们的毒液，然后你糟糕痛苦或尴尬的记忆就会成为过去。所以，如果你设法在所有人面前趴在地上，不小心称你的老师为“妈妈”，有一个过度思考的毛病，或者只是想摆脱那些导致你做噩梦的记忆，那么一个蜷翼魔对你来说是个合适的宠物……只是不要让它们太靠近你的头。
