雙語：魔法校長“鄧布利多”寫信安慰悲傷少年

近日，一位在德州持槍搶劫案中失去父母和四個兄弟姐妹的小女孩收到了魔法校長“鄧布利多”來信，讓她重新鼓起勇氣尋找生命的快樂。這是怎么回事呢？跟隨小編一起來看看吧~

J.K Rowling has recast her "Harry Potter" magic and reportedly brought Dumblebore back to life.

A spokesperson for the author confirms Rowling sent a letter and a package to a Texas teenager who optimistically found strength in the words of a "Harry Potter" film after witnessing the murder of her immediate family.

Fifteen-year-old Cassidy Stay lost both parents and four siblings to a gunman in Texas last month. Cassidy was shot in the head and survived the gunshot wound only because she played dead. Authorities have called her survival a miracle.

Cassidy had seen the unimaginable, but was still thinking about happiness. At a memorial for her family, Cassidy gave a speech in front of media saying she believed her family was "in much a better place."

Quoting the words of Dumbledore, the wise headmaster of Hogwarts, she said "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

The same day Cassidy gave her speech, a Facebook page called "We want JK Rowling to meet Cassidy Stay" formed and quickly gained traction.

While the group page acknowledges that Cassidy is not a follower of the page, the creator claims to know a friend of Cassidy's who "confirmed that JK Rowling did, in fact, write her a personalized letter from 'Dumbledore' (hand-written with purple ink). She was also sent a wand, an acceptance letter to Hogwarts with a school supply list, along with the 3rd book with JK's autograph" the group post said.

Rowling's spokesperson told CNN: "We can confirm that J.K. Rowling sent Cassidy Stay a letter and package, but the contents of the letter and how it came about are private and between her and Cassidy. We're not commenting any further on the letter or what it contained."

 J·K·羅琳重施她的“哈利波特”魔法，讓鄧布利多（Dumblebore）起死回生。

一位發(fā)言人已證實羅琳給德克薩斯州（Texas）的一名青少年寄去一封信和一個包裹。這名少年在親眼目睹自己的家人遭到殺害后從《哈利波特》的臺詞中找到了力量而變得樂觀起來。

十五歲的凱西迪·斯待(Cassidy Stay)上個月在德州一持槍歹徒的襲擊中失去了父母和四個兄弟姐妹。凱西迪頭部被擊中，靠裝死幸存下來。官方稱她的生還是一個奇跡。

凱西迪經(jīng)歷了難以想象的劫難，卻仍思索著生命的快樂。在家人的追悼會上，凱西迪在媒體面前演講說她相信她的家人“到了一個更好的地方。”

她引用了鄧布利多，這位霍格沃茨魔法學(xué)校(Hogwarts)的最具智慧的校長的話“即使在最黑暗的時刻快樂也會存在，只要你記得讓光亮照進(jìn)來。”

在凱西迪演講的同一天，臉譜網(wǎng)（Facebook）一主頁發(fā)出呼吁“我們期待J·K·羅琳和凱西迪·斯待見面”，很快引起大量關(guān)注。

盡管這一主頁聲明凱西迪并不是它的用戶，但是創(chuàng)建者聲稱從凱西迪的一位朋友那里獲知“J·K·羅琳千真萬確以鄧布利多的名義給凱西迪寫過一封私人信件（紫色墨水手寫），還送來一根魔杖，一封附有學(xué)校物品清單的霍格沃茨的錄取信，以及有羅琳簽名的哈利波特系列第三本書。”主頁上如此發(fā)布道。

羅琳的發(fā)言人告訴CNN“我們可以確定的是羅琳寄給凱西迪一封信和一個包裹，但是信的內(nèi)容以及樣式是她和凱西迪之間的私人信息。我們不會對這封信及其內(nèi)容作過多評論。”
