      II. 场景列表

      晨星岛 (Island of Morning Stars):童话世界中唯一完全巫师友好的岛屿。
      大概是个月亮的形状,虽然名字是晨星。

      四角镇 (Rectangle Town):唯一巫师小镇。童话世界默认入口、起始点。
      关于树底银行,有个后来没能展开写的点是巫师的钱币是分配的,不是赚的。老柳树会自己根据一个人的善良程度分钱。(这个设定实在太早了我也不太清楚当时自己怎么想的,不过换个角度看也算有趣。)
      凤凰光辉的作用是统一语言,唯一例外的是单独拎出来的字母(i.e. 本来丹麦语里就不成词的字)是不会被翻译的。这也是Chapter 64 里识字课本看上去毫无逻辑的原因。

      野人国 (Savages’ Kingdom):热带雨林特辑。
      如果童话世界是完全依照丹麦地理来描绘,那么这个场景绝对不可能出现。但本文依据的是《安徒生童话》,而安徒生似乎对炎热的潮湿的地方非常好奇。所以野人国就出现了。

      金银海 (Sea of Treasures):从前这片海的沙滩上埋着许多金子。童话世界逐渐开始衰弱后,海里的鱼大幅度变少。原本以往城里卖鱼为生的圣沙镇开始捡金子糊口,很快就一点不剩了。
      不过,金银海这个名字还是保存了下来。

      圣沙镇 (Town of Holy Grains):西海岸湾区小镇。
      最开始是结合《沙丘上的故事》和《家禽麦格》两篇童话里的描写想象出来的。后来更多了解丹麦后对照了一下,安徒生大概写的就是Jutland(丹麦西部半岛)的风景。

      临月湾 (Bay of Moon):最典型的童话小城。
      小城的地图和部分细节原型是安徒生的故乡,奥登塞(Odense)。当初筹备的时候写了一段类似于文字构思图的东西,说“小城之所以是小城,必有部分哥本哈根的影子。城里有不少还算有钱的富人,但是老人小孩比较多(年轻人都去哥本哈根打拼了),也因此非常清净和悠闲。街上常常点缀繁花绿叶,有酒桶改成的花盆,窗口有人驾着衣架晾晒衣服,有小孩在街上背诗和圣经......”
      临月湾曾经是伊万度阿的南岸港口,后来海水涨起被淹没(所以往南的地方坡度向下,朝南望就会感觉自己站在山上)。这里曾经是二十六年前事件的受灾地之一,但是因为里德尔多半在都城活动所以并没有特别受影响,只有一两个人家里有牵连,有些是哥本哈根过来的。”

      造纸厂 (The Paper Factory):魔法笼罩着的荒废建筑。
      造纸厂这个场景后续没有补充背景,二编可能会加一点。它原本是个在运行的纸厂,直到里德尔试验老魔杖的时候使了个过猛的爆破咒语把它的墙弄塌了;不但如此,那魔力太大而且藏着黑魔法所以造纸厂周围形成了一层看不见的空气墙,这是为什么所有的纸都没有经过风吹雨打。
      是个背景比写到的多的场景,因此在这里提一下。

      哥本哈根 (Copenhagen):童话世界都城。
      京城,叶君健老师译本用的是京城,但京城会让我错乱所以最后用的还是都城。
      Copenhagen是全文唯一回了第二次的场景,其他都是顺着走的。安徒生在那儿生活了最长的时间,也就让它成了故事的密集聚集地。这里不得不感谢一下Bente Kj?lbye和Ole Larsen的《Hans Christian Andersen's Copenhagen : a fairy tale walk through the city》,同时谢天谢地我当时还在British Library学习,还能借到它。我无法想象没有这本书哥本哈根的情节会是什么样。最初的计划是根据童话里的片段来拼凑整个城市(依稀记得当时拼的大概也还是对的),《walk through the city》无疑把我对地图学的热爱推到了新的高度。所以最后哥本哈根是看了两天这本大概只有一厘米那么厚的小书、笔下描着19世纪地图、电脑上开着21世纪导航和谷歌地球构思出来的。这是整个创作过程中令我最开心的经历之一。
      我希望FT能还原那么一点点的、安徒生的、十九世纪的丹麦。带着水彩画的浪漫色彩,但也在现实中有迹可循。如果有小伙伴哪天去了哥本哈根,请相信里面大部分人地点是可以找到的。(冰岛那段也是一样。)

      千国平原 (Land of Thousand Kingdoms):无数个王子与公主生活的地方。
      这个场景其实比我想象中要描写得少了很多很多。和那段的写作时间多半有关,但结果就是只细写了一个城堡(天啊,我真是在写童话世界吗?)
      不过安徒生本来写的城堡故事就没那么多。平原上都是大大小小的国家,由哥本哈根派出的一位国王、一位皇后再加上“没影子国王”管理(事实上他们管理的是整个伊万度阿)。
      所以是的,这片土地很大,只可惜带过了。

      沼泽(The Marsh):妖精魔鬼聚集地,沼泽女人的酒厂。
      沼泽在安徒生的心中估计有个特殊的位置,涉及它的故事总是更有力度一点。
      大概是盐沼,这个之前章末作说就提过。

      北方大地 (The Northern Land):伊万度阿尽头的雪原。借鉴挪威/芬兰/瑞典冬季的结合描写。挪威在安徒生的年代也还是丹麦的附属国。
      虽然说现实中有对应的国家和风景可以参考,但这一段还是想象的成分更大。例如不动河——童话世界唯一的全oc场景,斯奈尔镇在我最初读《冰姑娘》时就已经在脑海里浮现。冰罅是个很奇妙的存在,在我想象里十分清晰,冻结了冰川,巨大,以最缓慢的速度挪动着。
      现在想想看,FT真是把所有的北欧国家都写完了。最开始脑洞的时候完全没有刻意计划。

      柳树林—死神温室 (The Willow Forest—Death’s Greenhouse):不按正常季节走。
      柳树林是我一直非常期待写的一个场景,因为它在安徒生原著中就足够神幻。《钟声》从第一遍读给我的感觉就是能读着读着绕晕到睡着,梦里都是风声和钟声,醒过来发现还是没明白这个故事讲了什么。后来第二遍读清晰很多,证明我当时可能真是读睡着了才没搞懂。
      接近太阳岛这段都让我有种时间凝固的感觉。包括阳光烘暖了的林中村庄,因为死神温室和太阳岛的影响而永远盛开的满山谷的花。死神温室本身给人的写作压力巨大,能写出来我都谢天谢地,至于场景能不能重现只能留给大家判断了。

      天鹅海 (Sea of Swans):终点前的海洋。因为有诗篇,所以这里不再多言。

      太阳岛—天国花园 (Island of Sun—Garden of Heaven):可以理解为尘世间的“天堂”。
      太阳树是解构起来最复杂的一个场景,花了我在飞机上整整两个小时(又或是三个?)
      安徒生多半是在脑海里有棵特定的树,代表天国和一切最崇高,所以《天国花园》和《聪明人的宝石》里提到的树好像是同一棵,又有细微出入的地方,弄得我读到头晕又画了半天的图。总之,最后琢磨出来的太阳树就是分上下两层的,地面上一层地下一层。具体描写已在文中。

      最后的最后——
      圣戈萨赫罗。St. Gesarherro.

      圣戈的地图草稿可以在L站找到。
      是他们的第二个家。这百万字都源自于它了,我想也不需要说更多。

      —————————————————————

      III. 童话世界神谱

      童话世界里面非人的生灵分三级:主神(梦、诗二神,也是唯二真正意义上、对世界有承载意义的神),教祇(魔鬼与天使),其他妖精/小神仙(接骨木树妈妈、沼泽女人、冰姑娘、丘比特、死神、幸运女神和悲伤女神等等。所有其他的、现实世界传说或非基督教神话中出现的存在,都算在这一类。他们之间并无高低区别,只有能力大小和能力范围之差)。
      主神 > 教祇 > 其他妖精/小神仙。位低者必须听从于位高者,即使主神通常不会过多涉及人们的日常生活。梦、诗二神主要是童话世界魔法力量的躯体化承载,并不负责实际运作。
      FT里面提及了很多不同文化的超自然生物,尽管主要仍以北欧神话为主。是否会在童话世界里出现评判标准只有一个:TA是否符合安徒生的故事现象学规律。

      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 or complex.

      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 you.

      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 to come. 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 just come 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(do come 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 accepted it just a little bit too much, hence ceasing to see how original it can be. When it comes 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 gorgeous 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 accompany 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. They come 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.
