《[HP官设]马尔福家族》青松枝

3、采访

　　【2004】
　　①
　　Queenmarion: I noticed in the Black Family tree that everyone is named after a constellation. Is this intentional? Does this have any bearing on the plot?
　　昆马里恩：我注意到在布莱克家谱中，每个人都是以星座命名的。这是故意的吗？这和情节有关系吗？

　　JK Rowling replies: It's just one of those family traditions, although Narcissa breaks the trend. I had always thought of her as 'Narcissa' so I decided not to change her to match the others when I came up with their names. There's been a lot of speculation that she is in some way linked to Lily and Petunia, because of the flower theme, but I can put that rumour to rest here: she isn't related to them.
　　罗琳：这只是家庭传统之一，尽管纳西莎打破了这一趋势。我一直认为她是“纳西莎”，所以当我想到其他人的名字时，我决定不把她换成其他人。有很多猜测说她在某种程度上与莉莉和佩妮有关，因为花的主题，但我可以把这个谣言放在这里：她与她们没有关系。
　　（实则布莱克家族好多女孩子都不是星星）

　　Wild Rose: Will we see more of Narcissa Malfoy now that Lucius is unavailale?
　　野玫瑰：既然卢修斯不在，我们还会看到更多纳西莎·马尔福吗？

　　JK Rowling replies：Yes, you will.
　　罗琳：是的，你会的。

　　MA: What does it do to you to see a character that you love, for people to express sheer hate.
　　马：看到你喜欢的角色，让人们表达纯粹的仇恨，这对你有什么影响

　　ES: Or vice versa.
　　梅丽莎：反之亦然。

　　JKR: It amuses me. It honestly amuses me. People have been waxing lyrical [in letters] about Draco Malfoy, and I think that's the only time when it stopped amusing me and started almost worrying me. I'm trying to clearly distinguish between Tom Felton, who is a good looking young boy, and Draco, who, whatever he looks like, is not a nice man. It’s a romantic, but unhealthy, and unfortunately all too common delusion of — delusion, there you go — of girls, and you [nods to Melissa] will know this, that they are going to change someone. And that persists through many women's lives, till their death bed, and it is uncomfortable and unhealthy and it actually worried me a little bit, to see young girls swearing undying devotion to this really imperfect character, because there must be an element in there, that "I'd be the one who [changes him]." I mean, I understand the psychology of it, but it is pretty unhealthy. So, a couple of times I have written back, possibly quite sharply, saying [Laughter], "You want to rethink your priorities here."
　　我觉得很有趣。我真的很开心。人们（在信中）对德拉科·马尔福（Draco Malfoy）大加赞赏，我想这是唯一一次不再让我觉得好笑，几乎开始让我担心的时候。我试图清楚地区分汤姆·费尔顿和德拉科，他是一个英俊的小男孩，不管他长什么样，都不是一个好人。这是一个浪漫的，但不健康的，不幸的是太常见的错觉-错觉，你去吧-的女孩，你[向梅丽莎点头]会知道这一点，他们将改变某人。这一点贯穿了许多女性的一生，直到她们临终前。看到年轻女孩对这个真正不完美的角色矢志不渝，这让我有点不舒服和不健康。我的意思是，这其中一定有一个因素，那就是“我就是那个（改变他的）人。”，我理解它的心理，但它是相当不健康的。所以，有几次我回信，可能是非常尖锐地说，“（笑声），“你想重新考虑一下你在这里的优先事项。”

　　MA: I wanted to go back to Draco.
　　马：我想回到德拉科。

　　JKR: OK, yeah, let's talk about Draco.
　　罗琳：好的，是的，让我们谈谈德拉科。

　　MA: He was utterly fascinating in this book.
　　马：他在这本书中非常迷人。

　　JKR: Well, I'm glad you think so, because I enjoyed this one. Draco did a lot of growing up in this book as well. I had an interesting discussion, I thought, with my editor Emma, about Draco. She said to me, "So, Malfoy can do Occlumency," which obviously Harry never mastered and has now pretty much given up on doing, or attempting. And she was querying this and wondering whether he should be as good as it, but I think Draco would be very gifted in Occlumency, unlike Harry. Harry’s problem with it was always that his emotions were too near the surface and that he is in some ways too damaged. But he's also very in touch with his feelings about what's happened to him. He's not repressed, he's quite honest about facing them, and he couldn't suppress them, he couldn't suppress these memories. But I thought of Draco as someone who is very capable of compartmentalizing his life and his emotions, and always has done. So he's shut down his pity, enabling him to bully effectively. He's shut down compassion — how else would you become a Death Eater? So he suppresses virtually all of the good side of himself. But then he's playing with the big boys, as the phrase has it, and suddenly, having talked the talk he's asked to walk it for the first time and it is absolutely terrifying. And I think that that is an accurate depiction of how some people fall into that kind of way of life and they realize what they're in for. I felt sorry for Draco. Well, I’ve always known this was coming for Draco, obviously, however nasty he was.
　　Harry is correct in believing that Draco would not have killed Dumbledore, which I think is clear when he starts to lower his wand, when the matter is taken out of his hands.
　　我很高兴你这么想，因为我很喜欢这个。德拉科在这本书中也成长了很多。我想，我和我的编辑艾玛就德拉科进行了一次有趣的讨论。她对我说，“所以，马尔福可以做大脑封闭术。”很明显，哈利从来没有掌握过，现在几乎放弃了做，或者尝试。她质疑这一点，想知道他是否应该像这样优秀，但我认为德拉科在大脑术方面很有天赋，不像哈利。哈利的问题是，他的情绪总是太接近表面，在某些方面他受到了太多的伤害。但他也非常了解自己对所发生事情的感受。他没有被压抑，他很诚实地面对他们，他无法压抑他们，他无法压抑这些记忆。但我认为德拉科是一个非常有能力划分自己的生活和情感的人，而且一直如此。所以他停止了怜悯，使他能够有效地欺负他人。他关闭了慈悲—否则你怎么会成为食死徒？因此，他几乎压制了自己所有好的一面。但后来他又在和大男孩们玩，就像俗语说的那样，突然间，他第一次讲了这个话题，被要求走路，这真是太可怕了。我认为这是对一些人如何陷入那种生活方式的准确描述，他们意识到自己在干什么。我为德拉科感到难过。好吧，我一直都知道这是对德拉科来说的，很明显，不管他多么讨厌。
　　哈利认为德拉科不会杀了邓布利多是正确的，我认为当他开始放下魔杖，事情从他手中解决时，这一点是清楚的。

　　MA: Forgive me if I'm remembering incorrectly, but was Regulus the one who was murdered by Voldemort？
　　马：如果我记错了，请原谅，雷古勒斯是被伏地魔谋杀的人吗？

　　JKR: Well Sirius said he wouldn't have been because he wasn't important enough, remember?
　　罗琳：小天狼星说他不会，因为他不够重要，记得吗？

　　MA: But that doesn’t have to be true, if [R.A.B.] is writing Voldemort a personal note.
　　马：但如果[R.A.B.]给伏地魔写的是个人便条，那就不一定是真的。

　　JKR: That doesn't necessarily show that Voldemort killed him, personally, but Sirius himself suspected that Regulus got in a little too deep. Like Draco. He was attracted to it, but the reality of what it meant was way too much to handle.
　　罗琳：这并不一定表明伏地魔亲自杀了他，但小天狼星自己怀疑雷古勒斯陷得有点太深了。像德拉科。他被它吸引住了，但它所代表的现实实在太难处理了。

　　【2007】
　　Georgina: Did lucius malfoy, and all the other escaped death eaters, go back to azkaban
　　乔治娜：卢修斯·马尔福和其他所有逃跑的食死徒都回到阿兹卡班了吗
　　J.K. Rowling: No, the Malfoys weaseled their way out of trouble (again) due to the fact that they colluded (albeit out of self-interest) with Harry at the end of the battle.
　　J.K.罗琳：不，马尔福一家（又一次）摆脱了麻烦，因为他们在战斗结束时与哈利‘合作’（尽管是出于自身利益）。

　　Abjoppotter: Is narcissa malfoy really a death eater
　　阿杰波特：纳西莎·马尔福真的是食死徒吗
　　J.K. Rowling: No, she never had the Dark Mark and was never a fully paid-up member. However, her views were identical to those of her husband until Voldemort planned the death of her son.
　　J.K.罗琳：不，她从来没有黑魔标记，也从来没有成为正式成员。可是在伏地魔计划杀死她儿子之前，她的观念和她丈夫的完全一样。

　　大致汇总：
　　整个系列的最初，德拉科几乎在任何方面都是一个标准的欺凌者。带着从纯血统的父母那里吸收的对于自身优越地位的坚定信念，他最初向哈利伸出友谊之手时，是以施恩者的心态，且从没想过会被拒绝。他家族的富裕与韦斯莱家的贫穷形成对比；这也是德拉科的骄傲来源之一，尽管韦斯莱家的血统和他的相同。
　　所有人都能认出德拉科这个角色，因为所有人都遇见过与他类似的人。这些人对于自身优越感的确信在不同境况下可能令人愤怒，发笑或是恐惧。德拉科也成功地在不同时刻在哈利，罗恩和赫敏心里激起过这些情绪。
　　我的英国编辑曾质疑过德拉科在大脑封闭术上表现太过优秀，而哈利（他在极小的年龄就成功召唤出了守护神）却从来没能掌握。我反驳说这与德拉科的性格特质完全相符，他很容易封闭自己的情感，分割自己的内心，以及否认自己内心中重要的部分。在凤凰社的结尾，邓布利多对哈利说，能够感觉到痛苦正是他人性的一部分；而对于德拉科，我想试着传达出，对于痛苦的否定和对于内心挣扎的压制只能造就一个更为扭曲的人格（更倾向于对他人带来创伤）。
　　德拉科从未意识到自己有接近一整年的时间成为了老魔杖的真正主人。他不知道是件好事，部分原因是由于黑魔王很擅长摄神取念，如果他知道了哪怕一点关于真相的提示他都会毫不犹豫地杀死德拉科，但这也是因为，尽管德拉科仍有着潜藏的良心，他依然无法抗拒那些他自小就被教育要钦佩的事物的诱惑——其中也包括暴力和权力。
　　我很同情德拉科，就像我也对达利感到遗憾一样。被马尔福家或者德斯礼家抚养成人都是会造成人格缺憾的经历，而德拉科也因为他家族错误的信条而经历了可怕的考验。然而，马尔福家确实有一点可取之处：他们深爱彼此。Draco的动力来源不仅是对自身安全的担忧，也同样是对父母安全的担忧，而在死亡圣器的结尾纳西莎对伏地魔谎称哈利已经死去，她赌上了一切，只为了能见到自己的儿子。
　　尽管如此，在已经出版的七本书中德拉科仍然是一个道德品行可疑的角色，而我也经常提及那些喜欢这一虚拟角色的女孩数量之多令我深感不安（虽然我并不会低估Tom Felton的吸引力，他在电影中完美地演绎了德拉科，并且带点讽刺感的是，他大概是你在生活中能遇见的最好的人）。德拉科带有一切属于反英雄角色的黑暗魅力；女孩子们很容易对这种人产生浪漫幻想。这一切让我处于一个对热情读者的白日梦泼冷水的不值得羡慕的的位置，我只能放重语气告诉她们德拉科并没有在他的所有嘲讽和偏见之下藏着一颗金子般的心，而且不，他和哈利并非注定成为彼此的挚友。
　　在我的想象中，长大成人的德拉科会成为一个改良版的他父亲的形象；经济独立且富裕，无需工作的德拉科与妻子和儿子定居在马尔福庄园。我从他的兴趣爱好中发现了更多对他性格中矛盾性的证明。他对于黑魔法制品的收藏能追溯回整个家族史，虽然他将那些物品装在玻璃匣子里，并不使用。然而，他对于炼金术手稿的奇特兴趣——当然他从未打算制作魔法石——暗示了他对于财富之外的某种事物的渴望，也许甚至是成为一个更好的人的愿望。我对于他会将斯科皮养育为一个比他自己年轻时温柔宽容得多的马尔福寄予很大期望。
　　在我确定“马尔福”这一姓氏之前，德拉科有过许多姓氏。在最初的手稿中不同时间里他曾经姓S/mart，Spinks，还有Spungen。他的教名来自于一个星座——天龙座——但他的魔杖杖芯却来自于独角兽。
　　这是一个象征。归根结底——也许这会重新点燃更多不良幻想——在德拉科的心中仍然有着未曾熄灭的善良
