“She has had her blood. She is old enough for the khal,” Illyrio told him, not for the first time. “Look at her. That silver-gold hair, those purple eyes?she is the blood of old Valyria, no doubt, no doubt?and highborn, daughter of the old king, sister to the new, she cannot fail to entrance our Drogo.” When he released her hand, Daenerys found herself trembling.
「她既然有過月事,對馬王來說年紀就已經夠大了。"這已經不是伊利里歐第一次告訴他了。「你瞧瞧她那頭銀金色的秀發,那雙紫薇般的眼睛……她擁有古老瓦雷利亞的血統,毫無疑問,毫無疑問……而且她既出身顯赫,又是老王的女兒,新王的妹妹,說什麼也不會不吸引卓戈的。」當他放開她的手時,丹妮發現自己竟渾身顫抖。
“I suppose,” her brother said doubtfully. “The savages have queer tastes. Boys, horses, sheep?”
「是這樣麼?」哥哥滿腹狐疑地說:"這些野蠻人口味特別怪,連小男孩、馬和羊都能搞……」
“Best not suggest this to Khal Drogo,” Illyrio said.
「最好別在卓戈卡奧面前提起這些。」
Anger flashed in her brother’s lilac eyes. “Do you take me for a fool?”
哥哥淡紫色的眼瞳里閃現憤怒。「你當我是個笨蛋麼?」
The magister bowed slightly. “I take you for a king. Kings lack the caution of common men. My apologies if I have given offense.” He turned away and clapped his hands for his bearers.
總督微微低頭。「我當您是個王者。所謂王者無凡慮;倘若我冒犯了您,那麼我向您道歉。」語畢他轉身擊掌,示意轎夫動身。
The streets of Pentos were pitch-dark when they set out in Illyrio’s elaborately carved palanquin. Two servants went ahead to light their way, carrying ornate oil lanterns with panes of pale blue glass, while a dozen strong men hoisted the poles to their shoulders. It was warm and close inside behind the curtains. Dany could smell the stench of Illyrio’s pallid flesh through his heavy perfumes.
待他們坐上伊利里歐雕琢華麗的轎子,潘托斯城的市街已經漆黑一片。兩名仆人走在前頭照明,手里提著裝飾精美,有著淡藍玻璃罩子的油燈,另外十來個壯丁則協力扛著轎子。驕子廉幕後封閉而溫暖,透過伊利里歐身上那層厚重的香水,丹妮聞得到他蒼白皮膚的臭味。
