“Enough!” Ser Rodrik called out. He gave the prince a hand and yanked him back to his feet. “Well fought. Lew, Donnis, help them out of their armor.” He looked around. “Prince Joffrey, Robb, will you go another round?”
"住手！"羅德利克爵士吼道，他拉了托曼一把，協助他站起來。"打得很好。路易、唐尼斯，幫他們把護甲脫掉。"他環顧四周，"喬佛里王子，羅柏，你們要不要再來一場？"
Robb, already sweaty from a previous bout, moved forward eagerly. “Gladly.”
羅柏身上雖然還流淌著前一場比試的汗水，卻迫不及待地踏步向前："樂意之至。"
Joffrey moved into the sunlight in response to Rodrik’s summons. His hair shone like spun gold. He looked bored. “This is a game for children, Ser Rodrik.”
喬佛里聽到羅德利克爵士的傳喚，這會兒也從先前所在的陰影里走進陽光下。他的頭發在太陽照射下亮如金箔，但臉上卻掛著一副百無聊賴的神色。"羅德利克爵士，這都是小孩子把戲。"
Theon Greyjoy gave a sudden bark of laughter. “You are children,” he said derisively.
席恩·葛雷喬伊不禁放聲笑道："你們倆是小孩子沒錯呀。"
“Robb may be a child,” Joffrey said. “I am a prince. And I grow tired of swatting at Starks with a play sword.”
"羅柏是不是小孩子我不知道，"喬佛里說，"但我可是堂堂王太子，我不想再跟姓史塔克的家伙拿木頭玩具揮來揮去了。"
“You got more swats than you gave, Joff,” Robb said. “Are you afraid?”
"小喬，你中劍的次數可比你揮的次數要多。"羅柏道，"你怕了么？"
Prince Joffrey looked at him. “Oh, terrified,” he said. “You’re so much older.” Some of the Lannister men laughed.
喬佛里面無表情地看著他。"噢喲，好恐怖。"他說："咱們的老戰士發話哩。"蘭尼斯特家的侍從聞言便笑。
Jon looked down on the scene with a frown. “Joffrey is truly a little shit,” he told Arya.
瓊恩皺眉看著場子上發生的事。"喬佛里實在是個不折不扣的渾球。"他告訴艾莉亞。
Ser Rodrik tugged thoughtfully at his white whiskers. “What are you suggesting?” he asked the prince.
羅德利克爵士若有所思地捻捻那撮白胡子，"那請問您有什么想法？"他詢問王子。
“Live steel.”
"我要真刀真槍地打。"
“Done,” Robb shot back. “You’ll be sorry!”
"沒問題，"羅柏立刻吼回去，"你會后悔的！"
The master-at-arms put a hand on Robb’s shoulder to quiet him. “Live steel is too dangerous. I will permit you tourney swords, with blunted edges.”
教頭伸手按住羅柏的肩膀，要他冷靜。"用真劍太危險，我只準你們用比武時的鈍劍。"
背景介紹：
《權力的游戲》是一部中世紀史詩奇幻題材的電視連續劇。該劇以美國作家喬治·R·R·馬丁的奇幻巨作《冰與火之歌》七部曲為基礎改編創作，由大衛·貝尼奧夫和丹尼爾·威斯編劇、HBO電視網推出。喬治·雷蒙德·理查德·馬丁是歐美奇幻小說大師。馬丁的作品主要以人物為關注點，描寫細膩豐富，突破了幻想文學界固有的創作模式，多次引領閱讀潮流。由于馬丁的輝煌成就，他被譽為美國的托爾金和新世紀的海明威。從1989年開始，馬丁淡出文學界，轉而投身演藝界發展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學的創作，處女作便是《權力的游戲》，即為《冰與火之歌》的首部曲。《權力的游戲》甫出便拿下了British Fantasy Society、 世界奇幻獎和星云獎年度最佳幻想作品提名，在非官方的不記名奇幻作品投票中，《冰與火之歌》儼然已經可以和《魔戒》平起平坐，作者網站的訪問量也是和斯蒂芬·金、J.K.羅琳等不相上下，其受歡迎的程度可見一斑。喬治馬丁被時代雜志評選為2011年影響世界的一百人之一。
