The stories of the Hogwarts founders

霍格沃茨創(chuàng)始人的故事

What do we know about the four people who actually founded Hogwarts? Enjoy these new illustrations of Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw, and their stories.

我們對(duì)于四位霍格沃茨的創(chuàng)始人真正了解多少？了解這些關(guān)于戈德里克·格蘭芬多、赫爾加·赫奇帕奇、薩拉查·斯萊特林、羅伊娜·拉文克勞以及他們四人的新的闡述。

According to Professor Binns, Godric, Helga, Salazar and Rowena ‘built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes’. For the most part, the four worked on creating Hogwarts in harmony, but it wasn’t long before Salazar Slytherin’s troubling views on the wizarding world caused an almighty rift.

根據(jù)賓斯教授的講述，戈德里克、赫爾加、薩拉查和羅伊娜“一起建造了這座遠(yuǎn)匿于麻瓜視線(xiàn)的城堡”。在大多數(shù)情況下，四人致力于共建和諧的霍格沃茨，但隨后因?yàn)樗_拉查的巫師純血論，四人發(fā)生了巨大的分歧。

But what of the founders’ individual stories?

但創(chuàng)始人們的個(gè)人事跡是怎樣的呢？

?Godric Gryffindor

戈德里克·格蘭芬多

‘Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor’ dwelled at Godric’s Hollow, the future home of many well-known Harry Potter characters, from Bathilda Bagshot to the Potters themselves.

“勇敢的格蘭芬多，來(lái)自那一片荒原”他居住在高錐克山谷，那個(gè)未來(lái)有許多著名人物居住的地方，那里住有巴希達(dá)·巴格特和波特夫婦。

Much like the Hogwarts house he founded, Gryffindor, Godric was known for his bravery, and his skills as an accomplished dueller. He even had a special sword created for him by Ragnuk the First, the finest of the goblin silversmiths. The sword was ‘gleaming silver’ with ‘rubies the size of eggs’. The sword was so beautiful that Ragnuk tried to take it back, accusing Godric of stealing it. Thankfully, Godric was not one to be trifled with, and eventually took back what was his from the goblin community. This didn’t stop the goblins creating a ‘fake myth’ of Gryffindor theft, however.

正如他在霍格沃茨所建立的格蘭芬多學(xué)院（的要求）一樣，戈德里克以勇敢和高超的決斗技巧聞名于世。他請(qǐng)擁有精湛技藝的妖精萊格納克一世為他打造了一把的銀劍。這把劍“劍身閃閃發(fā)光”，劍柄上有“雞蛋大小的紅寶石”。因?yàn)檫@把劍無(wú)與倫比，萊格納克一直想把劍據(jù)為己有，因此他宣稱(chēng)戈德里克是偷取劍的竊賊。萬(wàn)幸的是，戈德里克并未因此染上污名，他最終從妖精部落拿回了屬于自己的一切。但這并未阻止妖精們創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)格蘭芬多偷竊的“虛假傳說(shuō)”。

Legend has it that Godric was also the man who gave Hogwarts the Sorting Hat, a sentient piece of headwear that soon became the one to sort the school’s students into houses long after Godric and the other founders were gone. The hat contains the intelligence of all founders, so it can pass on their intuition on each Hogwarts student forever.

傳說(shuō)中戈德里克是霍格沃茨分院帽的擁有者，在戈德里克和其他創(chuàng)始人離開(kāi)后，這頂擁有感知力的帽子很快成為了學(xué)校學(xué)生的分院依據(jù)。這頂帽子中包含有四位創(chuàng)始人的思想，所以它可以按照學(xué)生的品質(zhì)和才能來(lái)分院。

Godric will always be known for his accomplished skills in battle, and his fight against Muggle discrimination in the wizarding world. In fact, it was a serious argument between Godric and Salazar that finally made the Slytherin founder leave Hogwarts. Godric was a man, certainly, ahead of his time.

戈德里克一直因?yàn)闆Q斗技巧而聞名，他同時(shí)一直反對(duì)魔法世界中的麻瓜歧視。實(shí)際上，這導(dǎo)致了戈德里克和薩拉查之間的激烈爭(zhēng)吵，最終導(dǎo)致了斯萊特林的創(chuàng)始人離開(kāi)霍格沃茨。顯而易見(jiàn)，在那個(gè)時(shí)代，戈德里克只是一個(gè)普通人。

?Salazar Slytherin

薩拉查·斯萊特林

多年前，四位創(chuàng)始人非常要好。精明的斯萊特林“來(lái)自那一片沼澤”，當(dāng)薩拉查提出只招收那些出生于巫師家庭的孩子前往霍格沃茨學(xué)習(xí)，他的三位好友激烈反對(duì)。

Salazar Slytherin left the school. Before he did however, he built a secret room inside the castle with a great statue of himself and a monster inside that only he could control.

薩拉查·斯萊特林離開(kāi)了學(xué)校。在他離開(kāi)之前，他在城堡里建造了一間密室，密室中有一個(gè)巨大的自我塑像和一頭只有他能控制的怪獸。

The chamber would remain a secret, until Salazar Slytherin’s heir came to Hogwarts, ready to finish his ancestor’s work. Slytherin also left behind a golden locket, which would become a treasured family heirloom, and eventually a Horcrux of Lord Voldemort too.

密室一直是一個(gè)秘密，直到薩拉查·斯萊特林的繼承人回到霍格沃茨，準(zhǔn)備完成他祖先的遺志。斯萊特林死后留下了一個(gè)金掛墜盒，這成為了他家族的傳家寶，最終掛墜盒也成為了伏地魔的一個(gè)魂器。

Despite his flaws, Salazar was a talented wizard, skilled in Legilemency and Parseltongue, and his twisted legacy and talents lived on through many members of his bloodline, specifically Lord Voldemort. Thankfully, his hostile nature towards Muggle-borns was something that not many of the wizarding community agreed with. And not all of Salazar’s legacy was bad. A very distant descendant of his, Isolt Sayre, would go on to find Ilvermorny School, and Salazar’s wand would eventually be buried in the school’s grounds, turning into a snakewood tree with leaves with restorative powers.

雖然他有缺陷，但不可否認(rèn)薩拉查是一位天賦異稟的巫師，他是最早被記載的蛇語(yǔ)者，他扭曲的想法和天賦一直隨著他的血脈流傳，尤其體現(xiàn)在伏地魔身上。值得慶幸的是，他對(duì)麻瓜出身的巫師的敵意，并不為巫師界大多數(shù)人認(rèn)同。當(dāng)然薩拉查并非只遺留了壞的東西。他的一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)房后代：伊索·瑟爾創(chuàng)建了伊法魔尼魔法學(xué)校，并且將薩拉查的魔杖埋在了庭院中，長(zhǎng)成了一顆長(zhǎng)有治愈功效葉子的蛇木。

?Helga Hufflepuff

赫爾加·赫奇帕奇

Helga, ‘from valley broad’, was the founder of the house which valued those that were ‘just and loyal’. According to the Sorting Hat, Helga vowed to ‘teach the lot’ – and didn’t judge certain students over others, no matter how much talent they had or what families they came from.

赫爾加，“來(lái)自那一片谷地”，是赫奇帕奇學(xué)院的創(chuàng)始人，這個(gè)學(xué)院看重?fù)碛小罢焙驼\(chéng)實(shí)”品質(zhì)的人。依據(jù)分院帽的說(shuō)法，赫爾加發(fā)誓對(duì)學(xué)生“傾囊相授”，不論他們的天賦高低、出生貴賤，她都一視同仁、不偏不倚。

At Hogwarts, Hufflepuff was known for her talents in Charms, and used her remarkable skills for preparing food – a speciality of hers – to create splendid feasts that were enjoyed by all. Her talent would bring the whole school together in harmony.

在霍格沃茨，赫奇帕奇以魔咒學(xué)的天分聞名，她的專(zhuān)長(zhǎng)是高超的烹飪技巧，她創(chuàng)造了所有人都喜歡的霍格沃茨晚宴。她擅長(zhǎng)于使全校師生和睦相處。

Helga Hufflepuff’s fantastic recipes are still used in the Hogwarts kitchens to this day and her portrait can be found in the Hufflepuff common room, toasting her students with her golden cup. No wonder the Hogwarts feasts are always so triumphant and bountiful.

赫爾加·赫奇帕奇的傳奇食譜至今仍在霍格沃茨的廚房中使用，她的畫(huà)像掛在赫奇帕奇的公共休息室中，用她的金杯向她的學(xué)生們敬酒。難怪霍格沃茨的晚宴一直都如此豐盛。

And as for that golden cup? Well, that very cup would be passed down to Helga’s descendants, eventually falling into the hands of one Hepzibah Smith, a ‘distantly descended’ witch with a penchant for possessing valuable trinkets. Unluckily for her, a young fellow called Tom Riddle was well aware of this, and once he had hold of it, Helga’s trusty cup engraved with a badger would become one of Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes.

至于金杯？好吧，這個(gè)杯子一直保存在赫爾加的后代手中，它最后一人擁有者是赫普茲巴·史密斯，一個(gè)赫奇帕奇的遠(yuǎn)房后代，史密斯熱衷于收集值錢(qián)的小玩意兒。不幸的是，一個(gè)叫湯姆·里德?tīng)柕哪贻p店員知道了這件事，他抓住了史密斯的愛(ài)好，將赫爾加那只刻有獾的金杯變成了伏地魔未來(lái)的一個(gè)魂器。

Rowena Ravenclaw

羅伊娜·拉文克勞

Rowena Ravenclaw, ‘from glen’, was the most brilliant witch of her time, but her story is one of tragedy. Known for her wit and love of learning, she wore a diadem that was said to grant wisdom to the wearer.

羅伊娜·拉文克勞，“來(lái)自那一片幽谷”，她是那個(gè)時(shí)代最聰明的女巫，但她的故事是一個(gè)悲劇。她因?yàn)闄C(jī)智和對(duì)知識(shí)的追求而聞名，她戴著一頂據(jù)說(shuō)能賦予佩戴者智慧的冠冕。

However, Rowena’s own daughter grew jealous of her mother’s incredible intelligence. Helena Ravenclaw stole her mother’s diadem and ran away, a fact that Rowena kept hidden from her fellow founders even when she fell ill.

然而，羅伊娜的女兒卻對(duì)母親無(wú)與倫比的聰慧滿(mǎn)懷嫉妒。海蓮娜·拉文克勞偷走了她母親的冠冕后逃走，這件事也是羅伊娜在病中對(duì)好友們唯一的隱瞞。

Desperate to see her daughter one last time, Rowena sent a man to bring Helena home. Unfortunately, that man was the Bloody Baron, who was head over heels with Helena, and stabbed her in a rage when she refused to come home. After Helena was tragically killed, legend tells us that Rowena Ravenclaw died of a broken heart. No wonder Helena’s ghost, that became Ravenclaw’s house ghost, would often roam the corridors in silence.

想要最后見(jiàn)女兒一面，羅伊娜派遣一個(gè)男人去把海蓮娜帶回家。不幸的是，那個(gè)男人是血人巴羅，他一直和海蓮娜在一起，當(dāng)海蓮娜拒絕回家時(shí)，巴羅因?yàn)閼嵟虤⒘撕Ｉ從?。在海蓮娜不幸身亡后，我們從傳說(shuō)中得知羅伊娜·拉文克勞因?yàn)樾乃槎?。無(wú)怪乎海蓮娜的靈魂最終成為了拉文克勞的學(xué)院幽靈后，總是幽靜的在走廊中游蕩。
