精读 | 决斗实力分析——纽特·斯卡曼德/西弗勒斯·斯内普!

 预言家日报 2023-02-07 发布于北京
Long before Albus Dumbledore groomed someone to take on another Dark Lord, there was Newt Scamander. He was sadly expelled from Hogwarts after an incident involving magical creatures, but Newt still went on to become a skilled wizard on his own. 

早在阿不思·邓布利多培养出对付另一个黑魔头的人之前,纽特·斯卡曼德就已经出现了。在一次涉及魔法生物的事件后,纽特不幸被霍格沃茨开除,但他仍然靠自己成为了一名熟练的巫师。  

It's worth noting that Newt has dueled against Gellert Grindlewald in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and survived. Grindlewald easily had the upper hand in that duel, but you have to remember that Newt wasn't even an Auror, nor did he have any help. 

值得注意的是,纽特在《神奇动物在哪里》中与盖勒特·格林德沃决斗并幸存下来。在那场决斗中,格林德沃轻而易举地占了上风,但你得记住,纽特甚至不是一个傲罗,他也没有得到任何帮助。

There's no doubt that Severus Snape is one of the most powerful wizards both in Voldemort's or Dumbledore's army. Playing as a double agent for both sides took cunning and skill usually reserved for the most talented wizards or witches. Snape didn't get to show that talent until after he graduated from Hogwarts, however. 

毫无疑问,西弗勒斯·斯内普是伏地魔和邓布利多军队里最强大的巫师之一。扮演双面间谍需要狡猾和技巧,这通常是最有才华的巫师才能做到的。然而,斯内普直到从霍格沃茨毕业后才展示了他的才华。

However, Snape was very scary when he was a student. He invented one of the most dangerous spells in the magical world, that is Sectumsempra, a magic spell that can easily take the wizard's life. Moreover, only Snape knows how to fight and cure the spell. If Harry and Snape are the same age, he has no chance to compete with Snape.

不过,斯内普在学生时代还是很让人害怕的,他发明了魔法世界里最危险的咒语之一,神锋无影,这是能轻易夺取巫师性命的咒语。而且,只有斯内普知道如何对抗和治疗那个咒语。如果哈利和斯内普年龄相仿,他根本没有机会和斯内普竞争。
