第三章 丹尼莉絲
Her brother held the gown up for her inspection. “This is beauty. Touch it. Go on. Caress the fabric.”
哥哥舉起長袍給她看。「真漂亮,你摸摸看,沒關系,你看看這料子。」
Dany touched it. The cloth was so smooth that it seemed to run through her fingers like water. She could not remember ever wearing anything so soft. It frightened her. She pulled her hand away. “Is it really mine?”
丹妮摸了摸,衣料柔軟如水般流過她的手指,她從來沒穿過這麼柔軟的衣服。她突然害怕了起來,連忙抽回手。"這真是給我的麼?"
“A gift from the Magister Illyrio,” Viserys said, smiling. Her brother was in a high mood tonight. “The color will bring out the violet in your eyes. And you shall have gold as well, and jewels of all sorts. Illyrio has promised. Tonight you must look like a princess.”
"這是伊利里歐總督送的禮物,"韋賽里斯微笑道。哥哥今晚心情很好。「袍子的顏色剛好襯出你紫羅蘭色的眼睛。你還要配戴金飾,以及各式各樣的珠寶玉石,今晚你看起來必須有個公主的樣子。」
A princess, Dany thought. She had forgotten what that was like. Perhaps she had never really known. “Why does he give us so much?” she asked. “What does he want from us?” For nigh on half a year, they had lived in the magister’s house, eating his food, pampered by his servants. Dany was thirteen, old enough to know that such gifts seldom come without their price, here in the free city of Pentos.
有個公主的樣子,丹妮想著。她早已忘記那是什麼樣子了,也許她根本就不知道。「他為什麼對我們這麼好?」她問道:「他想從我們這得到什麼好處?」過去近半年來,他們吃住都靠這位總督,在他的仆傭伺候下待寵而驕。丹妮今年十三歲,已經懂得這種優渥的待遇不會憑空而來,尤其是在潘托斯這樣的自由貿易城邦。
“Illyrio is no fool,” Viserys said. He was a gaunt young man with nervous hands and a feverish look in his pale lilac eyes. “The magister knows that I will not forget my friends when I come into my throne.”
「伊利里歐可不笨,」韋賽里斯回答,他是個削瘦的年輕人,雙手局促不安,蒼白的淡紫色眼瞳里有種狂熱的神色,"他知道有朝一日我重登王位時,不會忘記曾經雪中送炭的朋友。"
