聊八卦,玩英语,就在娱乐没有圈!魔星人你好,我是Cecilia韩雪。
说到《哈利波特》和《神奇动物在哪里》,你一定可以如数家珍地说出一大堆自己爱它的理由。当然了,如此神秘奇幻的魔法世界,谁会不喜欢呢。
但是你知道吗?事实可并没那么简单,这些天马行空的故事,其实隐藏着J.K.罗琳植入的一条硬广告!
今天,我们就一起来扒一扒这个秘密吧! Let's find out Rowling's efforts in the real world through these magic movies
你有没有发现,在《哈利波特》和《神奇动物》中,有挺多重要角色都是孤儿,比如从小失去父母、寄人篱下的哈利波特,孤儿院长大的超级巫师伏地魔、还有被养母虐待,化身恶魔的克雷斯登。
为什么J.K.罗琳塑造了那么多在孤儿院长大、有着童年阴影的角色呢?
其实,这其中大有隐情。I bet you have no idea why Rowling depicted so many orphaned characters in her novels.在创作《哈利波特》时,有一天,罗琳在报纸上看到一则新闻:捷克的一家孤儿院,一个7岁的小男孩被活生生关在笼子里,痛苦而无助。那个画面让罗琳震惊了。就像大多数人一样,她一直都以为被福利机构**的孩子,都可以得到很好的照顾,但真没想到现实却是那么残忍。
It was a black-and-white photograph in a newspaper. It showed a small boy, locked in a caged bed in a residential institution. His hands clutched what appeared to be chicken wire containing him, and his expression was agonised. It told of a nightmarish institution where children as young as six were caged most of the day and night.
于是从那以后,罗琳在创作魔法小说的同时,也开始关注到孤儿这个群体。她发现,世界各地的孤儿福利院,都存在着同样糟糕的状况,那些原本孤独的孩子被圈养在一起,没有人给予他们足够的爱。
作为一个曾经生活贫困的单亲母亲,了解到孤儿院的真实情况后,罗琳强烈地想为这些孩子做点什么。2005年,她出版了第六部哈利波特小说——《混血王子》,揭开了伏地魔在孤儿院长大的身世;同一时间,创立了 LUMOS ——一个以社区为基础的儿童服务体系。
Rowling said: "The establishment of Lumos, named for the spell I created in Harry Potter to bring light to some dark and frightening places. Part of our work in Lumos is to shed light on the lives of those millions of children separated from their families for reasons of poverty, disability and discrimination."
LUMOS是出现在哈利波特魔法世界里的咒语,意思是「荧光闪烁」,它能在黑暗中点亮魔杖,给人们带来光明和力量。在LUMOS,除了帮助孤儿找到更好的**家庭,更重要的事项让他们可以回归自己的原生家庭。LUMOS社工会为每个困难家庭设计具体服务方案,为他们提供健康、教育和社会保护等一系列帮助。
Children should not grow up in institutions, with their depersonalised spaces and complete isolation from society. Lumos works on every level, with every actor, to transform an outdated and harmful system into one which supports and protects children and enables them to have a positive future.每个月,LUMOS 在全球各地进行保护孩子的爱心活动,得到全球各个儿童机构的呼应与支持。
保护孩子,让他们远离孤独和伤害,让每一个孩子有机会在家庭的关爱中成长——这是JK罗琳创办 LUMOS 的初衷。“We know that children who are raised in institutions suffer developmental delays, that they tend to be physically stunted, they normally have psychological trauma – it is just not what nature intended for children to be herded together and not given individual love and care,” said J.K. Rowling. “This is an entirely solvable issue. Lumos’ ambition – and we believe it's achievable - is that by 2050, we will have ended institutionalization globally.”
这是J.K.罗琳,在现实中构建的真正的魔法世界。
It is my dream that, within my lifetime, the very concept of taking a child away from its family and locking it away will seem to belong to a cruel, fictional world.
