Lannister studied his face. “Yes,” he said. “I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers.”
"嗯,"蘭尼斯特端詳著他的臉,"看得出來。跟你那些兄弟相比,你還比較有北方人的味道。"
“Half brothers,” Jon corrected. He was pleased by the dwarf’s comment, but he tried not to let it show.
"同父異母的兄弟。"瓊恩糾正,心里暗暗為侏儒的說法感到高興。
“Let me give you some counsel, bastard,” Lannister said. “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”
"那么私生子小弟,讓我給你一點建議罷。"蘭尼斯特道,"永遠不要忘記自己是什么人,因為這個世界不會忘記。你要化阻力為助力,如此一來才沒有弱點。用它來武裝自己,就沒有人可以用它來傷害你。"
Jon was in no mood for anyone’s counsel. “What do you know about being a bastard?”
瓊恩可沒心情聽人說教:"你又知道身為私生子是什么樣了?"
“All dwarfs are bastards in their father’s eyes.”
"全天下的侏儒,在他們父親眼里都跟私生子沒兩樣。"
“You are your mother’s trueborn son of Lannister.”
"你可是你母親的親生兒子,地地道道的蘭尼斯特。"
“Am I?” the dwarf replied, sardonic. “Do tell my lord father. My mother died birthing me, and he’s never been sure.”
"是么?"侏儒苦笑,"這話你去跟我父親大人說吧。我媽生我的時候難產而死,所以我老爸始終不確定我是不是他親生的。"
“I don’t even know who my mother was,” Jon said.
"我連我母親是誰都不知道。"瓊恩道。
“Some woman, no doubt. Most of them are.” He favored Jon with a rueful grin. “Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs.” And with that he turned and sauntered back into the feast, whistling a tune. When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king.
"反正是個女人。"他朝瓊恩露出一抹哀傷的笑容,"小子,請記住,雖然全天下的侏儒都可能被視為私生子,私生子卻不見得要被人視為侏儒。"說完,他轉過身,駝著背返回宴會大廳,嘴里還哼起一首愛情小調。當他打開門的剎那,室內的燈光將他的背影清楚地灑在庭院中。就在那一瞬間,提利昂·蘭尼斯特的身影宛如帝王般昂首挺立。
