I. 時間線

背景部分(其中許多並未在文中提到)。

1968年:小湯姆出生。

梅洛普·岡特,老湯姆·裏德爾家的園丁,運用罕見的魔法天賦將後者迷住,生下孩子後魔力失效,遂離開裏德爾家在倫敦蘭貝斯區街頭流浪。

彼時正逢年輕阿不思·鄧布利多在倫敦學寫劇本、試圖從事演藝生涯的時間。機緣巧合之下,鄧布利多遇見了垂危的梅洛普·岡特,並同意照看她的孩子。然而那時,鄧布利多正與年輕時的愛人蓋勒特·格林德沃矛盾激烈,兩人在試圖發掘魔法的可行途徑上產生歧異。剛出生的小湯姆於是被送到伍氏孤兒院。他的第一個名字是“奧利弗”,是鄧布利多受《霧都孤兒》啟發取的。

1969年:湯姆·裏德爾出生。

梅洛普離開後,老湯姆·裏德爾很快和當時的妻子懷上了另一個男孩。這位裏德爾夫人離家出走於孩子出生後的第二個月。據聞是發現了丈夫與他人有染。

1979年:童話世界開啟。

小湯姆於窗邊觀察游走街上的湯姆·裏德爾數月後,將紅色《安徒生童話》扔給裏德爾。

同父異母兄弟倆在夢境世界中結為好友。

II. 場景列表

晨星島 (Island of Morning Stars):童話世界中唯一完全巫師友好的島嶼。

大概是個月亮的形狀,雖然名字是晨星。

四角鎮 (Rectangle Town):唯一巫師小鎮。童話世界默認入口、起始點。

關於樹底銀行,有個後來沒能展開寫的點是巫師的錢幣是分配的,不是賺的。老柳樹會自己根據一個人的善良程度分錢。(這個設定實在太早了我也不太清楚當時自己怎麽想的,不過換個角度看也算有趣。)

鳳凰光輝的作用是統一語言,唯一例外的是單獨拎出來的字母(i.e. 本來丹麥語裏就不成詞的字)是不會被翻譯的。這也是Chapter 64 裏識字課本看上去毫無邏輯的原因。

野人國 (Savages’ Kingdom):熱帶雨林特輯。

如果童話世界是完全依照丹麥地理來描繪,那麽這個場景絕對不可能出現。但本文依據的是《安徒生童話》,而安徒生似乎對炎熱的潮濕的地方非常好奇。所以野人國就出現了。

金銀海 (Sea of Treasures):從前這片海的沙灘上埋著許多金子。童話世界逐漸開始衰敗後,海裏的魚大幅度變少。原本以往城裏賣魚為生的聖沙鎮開始撿金子糊口,很快就一點不剩了。

不過,金銀海這個名字還是保存了下來。

聖沙鎮 (Town of Holy Grains):西海岸灣區小鎮。

最開始是結合《沙丘上的故事》和《家禽麥格》兩篇童話裏的描寫想象出來的。後來更多了解丹麥後對照了一下,安徒生大概寫的就是Jutland(丹麥西部半島)的風景。

臨月灣 (Bay of Moon):最典型的童話小城。

小城的地圖和部分細節原型是安徒生的故鄉,歐登塞(Odense)。當初籌備的時候寫了一段類似於文字構思圖的東西,說“小城之所以是小城,必有部分哥本哈根的影子。城裏有不少還算有錢的富人,但是老人小孩比較多(年輕人都去哥本哈根打拼了),也因此非常清凈和悠閑。街上常常點綴繁花綠葉,有酒桶改成的花盆,窗口有人駕著衣架晾曬衣服,有小孩在街上背詩和聖經......”

臨月灣曾經是伊萬度阿的南岸港口,後來海水漲起被淹沒(所以往南的地方坡度向下,朝南望就會感覺自己站在山上)。這裏曾經是二十六年前事件的受災地之一,但是因為裏德爾多半在都城活動所以並沒有特別受影響,只有一兩個人家裏有牽連,有些是哥本哈根過來的。

造紙廠 (The Paper Factory):魔法籠罩著的荒廢建築。

造紙廠的歷史後續沒有再補充。它原本是個在運行的紙廠,直到裏德爾試驗老魔杖的時候使了個過猛的爆破咒語把它的墻弄塌了;不但如此,那魔力太大而且藏著黑魔法所以造紙廠周圍形成了一層看不見的空氣墻,這是為什麽所有的紙都沒有經過風吹雨打。

是個背景比寫到的多的場景,因此在這裏提一下。

哥本哈根 (Copenhagen):童話世界都城。

京城,葉君健老師譯本用的是京城,但京城會讓我錯亂所以最後用的還是都城。

Copenhagen是全文唯一回了第二次的場景,其他都是順著走的。安徒生在那兒生活了最長的時間,也就讓它成了故事的密集聚集地。這裏不得不感謝一下Bente Kjlbye和Ole Larsen的《Hans Christian Andersen's Copenhagen :a fairy tale walk through the city》,同時謝天謝地我當時還在British Library學習,還能借到它。我無法想象沒有這本書哥本哈根的情節會是什麽樣。最初的計劃是根據童話裏的片段來拼湊整個城市(依稀記得當時拼的大概也還是對的),《walk through the city》無疑把我對地圖學的熱愛推到了新的高度。所以最後哥本哈根是看了兩天這本大概只有一厘米那麽厚的小書、筆下描著19世紀地圖、電腦上開著21世紀導航和谷歌地球構思出來的。這是整個創作過程中令我最開心的經歷之一。

我希望FT能還原那麽一點點的、安徒生的、十九世紀的丹麥。帶著水彩畫的浪漫色彩,但也在現實中有跡可循。如果有小夥伴哪天去了哥本哈根,請相信裏面大部分人地點是可以找到的。(冰島那段也是一樣。)

千國平原 (Land of Thousand Kingdoms):無數個王子與公主生活的地方。

這個場景其實比我想象中要描寫得少了很多很多。和那段的寫作時間多半有關,但結果就是只細寫了一個城堡(天啊,我真是在寫童話世界嗎?)

不過安徒生本來寫的城堡故事就沒那麽多。平原上都是大大小小的國家,由哥本哈根派出的一位國王、一位皇後再加上“沒影子國王”管理(事實上他們管理的是整個伊萬度阿)。

所以是的,這片土地很大,只可惜帶過了。

沼澤(The Marsh):妖精魔鬼聚集地,沼澤女人的酒廠。

沼澤在安徒生的心中估計有個特殊的位置,涉及它的故事總是更有力度一點。

大概是鹽沼,這個之前章末作說就提過。

北方大地 (The Northern Land):伊萬度阿盡頭的雪原。借鑒挪威/芬蘭/瑞典冬季的結合描寫。挪威在安徒生的年代也還是丹麥的附屬國。

雖然說現實中有對應的國家和風景可以參考,但這一段還是想象的成分更大。例如不凍河——童話世界唯一的全oc場景,斯奈爾鎮在我最初讀《冰姑娘》時就已經在腦海裏浮現。冰罅是個很奇妙的存在,在我想象裏十分清晰,凍結了的冰川,巨大,以最緩慢的速度挪動著。

現在想想看,FT真是把所有的北歐國家都寫完了。最開始腦洞的時候完全沒有刻意計劃。

柳樹林—死神溫室 (The Willow Forest—Death’s Greenhouse):不按正常季節走。

柳樹林是我一直非常期待寫的一個場景,因為它在安徒生原著中就足夠神幻。《鐘聲》從第一遍讀給我的感覺就是能讀著讀著繞暈到睡著,夢裏都是風聲和鐘聲,醒過來發現還是沒明白這個故事講了什麽。後來第二遍讀清晰很多,證明我當時可能真是讀睡著了才沒搞懂。

接近太陽島這段都讓我有種時間凝固的感覺。包括陽光烘暖了的林中村莊,因為死神溫室和太陽島的影響而永遠盛開的滿山谷的花。死神溫室本身給人的寫作壓力巨大,能寫出來我都謝天謝地,至於場景能不能重現只能留給大家判斷了。

天鵝海 (Sea of Swans):終點前的海洋。因為有詩篇,所以這裏不再多言。

太陽島—天國花園 (Island of Sun—Garden of Heaven):可以理解為塵世間的“天堂”。

太陽樹是解構起來最覆雜的一個場景,花了我在飛機上整整兩個小時(又或是三個?)

安徒生多半是在腦海裏有棵特定的樹,代表天國和一切最崇高,所以《天國花園》和《聰明人的寶石》裏提到的樹好像是同一棵,又有細微出入的地方,弄得我讀到頭暈又畫了半天的圖。總之,最後琢磨出來的太陽樹就是分上下兩層的,地面上一層地下一層。具體描寫已在文中。

最後的最後——

聖戈薩赫羅。St. Gesarherro.

聖戈的地圖草稿可以在L站找到。

是他們的第二個家。這百萬字都源自於它了,我想也不需要說更多。

—————————————————————

III. 童話世界神譜

童話世界裏面非人的生靈分三級:主神(夢、詩二神,也是唯二真正意義上、對世界有承載意義的神),教祇(魔鬼與天使),其他妖精/小神仙(接骨木樹媽媽、沼澤女人、冰姑娘、丘比特、死神、幸運女神和悲傷女神等等。所有其他的、現實世界傳說或非基督教神話中出現的存在,都算在這一類。他們之間並無高低區別,只有能力大小和能力範圍之差)。

主神 > 教祇 > 其他妖精/小神仙。位低者必須聽從於位高者,即使主神通常不會過多涉及人們的日常生活。夢、詩二神主要是童話世界魔法力量的軀體化承載,並不負責實際運作。

FT裏面提及了很多不同文化的超自然生物,盡管主要仍以北歐神話為主。是否會在童話世界裏出現評判標準只有一個:TA是否符合安徒生的故事現象學規律。

IV. “莉莉的信”英文版

(源自Chapter 138)

My Dear Harry,

By now,you should have finished reading all the stories. I thought I’d write down something for you,as this would be the first book that your dad and I give to you. It won’t be the last,and you should know that books are good. Your mom loves them,simple orplex.

Of course,the things that I will write about now,are things that I will hopefully lead and guide you to know throughout your life(or at least the part that I am responsible for taking care of). You are not even one year old,and the thought of you growing up already starts to hurt. As your father says,sometimes,I can be a little sensitive.

But I guess,my dear son,it is never a bad idea to put down some words because as you will see one day,we often lose track of what we really believe and think. As a beginner-mom,I have already lost my temper on smallest things such as your dad letting his friends feed you apple juice…it’s a miracle that you didn’t get sick. I can now see why my mom,your grandma,used to say that mothers’job is to be always aware of how bad we can be. So yes,my dear son,I guess this is for me as well as for yo

You are 163 days old on the date of this note. Your father and I are planning to give this to you when you are seven,so you can read on your own with fewer problems. But you see,I’ve already bought this book and started imagining the day,just like how we look forwards to(while also nervous about)every stage of your life. If you’re reading this on your seventh birthday,or maybe a few years later(depending on how quick you learn),you should know that your mom is writing this,bearing in mind what I would like the seven-year-old myself to hear and hold for the years toe. And I trust you to be a cleverer boy than I ever was.

Childhood has been distant for me,my baby boy. It is something that you are lucky to be in right now. What’s more wonderful is that you still have a long way to go. I know you will soon start feeling the urge to grow up,as I did when I was at your age. But if there is one thing that I would tell the little girl I once was,it would be to cherish everything you have as a child,alongside all your imaginations. Your mom,no matter how boring I look nowadays,used to lay on the grass,stare at the clouds,and think about the conversations held between those white dogs and horses all the time. If you want to share news about your toys,or maybe the friends that no one else can see,I want you to know that I’m always here to listen.

The stories that you have read so far,they don’t juste in the shapes of colourful images. Of course,there are dancing dolls,singing flowers and chatty ducks,fairies in the woods and scary evils that will probably give you some nightmares(doe to us when you can’t sleep,ok but only when you really can’t). As you would have known by now,there are also horrible things that happen in stories. There are bad guys and even people dying sometimes,just like how life will unravel in front of you.

How do I describe life,my beloved boy I do not for one second assume that a boy senses the strangeness of the world less than adults do. In fact,I think that we grown-ups sometimes see less of the world because we have epted it just a little bit too much,hence ceasing to see how original it can be. When ites to this,your dad is one of the bravest person I’ve ever met. He challenges many,but also allows his believes to be changed,and fight for what’s proved most right in the end. It is a virtue that you will learn to value as you get older. For this,I forever love him as my husband,as your father,and as my best friend.

Your grandmother once wrote something on the back of a book for me as well. She said that a mother should have expectations for the children,otherwise she will not be a good parent. She could be strict sometimes. I wish that you had a chance to meet her,but as it is,I miss her strictness very much. You are too little and too purely eous for me to put down any expectation now. I feel that it is a sin to hope that I should mould you into something particular,especially when I look at your curious eyes. So I think,I’d rather share with you a few things to expect and look for in the future,now that you are seven and have already stepped into the first world of yours— a school. And as I said,you definitely have the look of an explorer.

As you grow up,my son,things can get a little…confusing. I wish these won’t happen to you often,but sometimes you will lose things that make you feel safe,and people will leave you or treat you badly for no apparent reasons at all. I want you to remember,Harry,that this is not your fault. Mom spent most of my teen years in a school(that you will probably join in one day),and I’ve seen,even in a supposedly homely environment,events that were unpleasant and happened for no good cause. Both your dad and I have been responsible for some hurts…but that is the thing,my son. Sometimes it is other people’s doing,sometimes you have a part in it as well(I trust you to know what to do when that is the case),and sometimes it’s nobody’s blame at all. It’s just people don’t see things the same way. However,that is also the wonderful side of humans,because we are sometimes a little…silly. If you’re honest enough,that silliness will push you to listen to others,and in doing so,you will find frictions and bonds that are more truthful than anything else.

You will find friends,and good ones. I have no doubt of this,as your father and I are both blessed with it. Trust me,sometimes I am a little jealous of your godfather,but how much joy and the support he brought him!Things that I cannot and do not intend to be the one to provide. Because,Harry,friends give you something that is all too special. Different from us,they will apany you as you work to find out who you are,and stay with you for the answer you give to that. They may understand you much better than we do,and for that reason,hold onto your good friends,and they will give you power in the time of need. And though I know that you will be a strong boy,do not ever think that you will have to do everything alone. Be cautious about who you are getting close with. Once you know you can spare them some trust,lean on them just like you would lean on us.

You will find sorrows and angers,alongside happiness and fulfilments. Theye side-by-side,so don’t be scared of any. Sometimes they may drive you to unwanted places,but there are always some truths in them. Life is born out of wounds and conflicts. The galaxies would not form,if one star does not collide into another; flowers wouldn’t blossom if a branch does not break the vain. Stay truthful to yourself,and learn from every tear you drop what it is that you truly want,and what it is that you find right. The stories that you have read,same with all the things you will hear,they have lessons to teach us. Remember them in case of need,but to see which ones you want to sign your life with,you need only to look into your heart

You will also find love. It is one single,most mysterious and powerful strength in the world. Us and your friends will be a constant source of it,and in a few years probably,just like I met your dad,you may meet someone special. That is the kind of love that will either make you a whole or tear you apart. Nevertheless,it will introduce you to infinite possibilities in our souls,and somewhere in the world,somebody will wake up every morning in the wait to meet you. By now,you may not understand what this means except in the stories of princes and princesses. Yet remember this:being loved brings us happiness and cures,but only loving makes us beyond who we are.

Pains and disappointments exist among us,so do flowers and cakes,beautiful legends and fairy tales. This world is the first and last gift you will ever receive; whatever adventures you are destined to embark on,be brave,Harry,always be brave. In the end,you will need courage to chase and fight for what you find most precious to you. So remember to look up to the source of light,of hope,and remember why you are fighting and who you are fighting for. When you are down,remember the people around you. And no matter where I am in the world,Harry,I will always be with you. Know this,as knowing your name.

Loving,

Mom.
