“Gods forbid,” a man’s voice replied lazily. “It’s not an honor I’d want. There’s far too much work involved.”
"饒了我罷，"一個男人的聲音慵懶地回答，"這種苦差我可不想攬，想做的事多著呢。"
Bran hung, listening, suddenly afraid to go on. They might glimpse his feet if he tried to swing by.
布蘭懸在半空，靜靜地聽著，突然心生恐懼，不敢再往前蕩，生怕經(jīng)過時自己的雙腳會被他們發(fā)現(xiàn)。
“Don’t you see the danger this puts us in?” the woman said. “Robert loves the man like a brother.”
"你難道看不出背后隱藏的危險(xiǎn)？"女人接著說，"勞勃把那家伙當(dāng)親兄弟一樣。"
“Robert can barely stomach his brothers. Not that I blame him. Stannis would be enough to give anyone indigestion.”
"勞勃最受不了他兩個弟弟。我也不怪他，有史坦尼斯那樣的老弟，任誰都要反胃。"
“Don’t play the fool. Stannis and Renly are one thing, and Eddard Stark is quite another. Robert will listen to Stark. Damn them both. I should have insisted that he name you, but I was certain Stark would refuse him.”
"別傻了，史坦尼斯和藍(lán)禮是一回事，艾德·史塔克又是另一回事。勞勃對史塔克會言聽計(jì)從。這兩人都該下地獄，早知道我就堅(jiān)持要他選你當(dāng)首相。我一直以為史塔克會拒絕他。"
“We ought to count ourselves fortunate,” the man said. “The king might as easily have named one of his brothers, or even Littlefinger, gods help us. Give me honorable enemies rather than ambitious ones, and I’ll sleep more easily by night.”
"我們這樣已經(jīng)算走運(yùn)啦，"男人道，"諸神在上，誰知道國王會不會叫他弟弟或那個小指頭來當(dāng)首相。比起野心勃勃的對手，讓我面對講究榮譽(yù)的敵人，可能還會睡得安穩(wěn)些。"
They were talking about Father, Bran realized. He wanted to hear more. A few more feet?.?.?.?but they would see him if he swung out in front of the window.
布蘭這才會意，他們談?wù)摰恼歉赣H！他想多聽一些，再靠近幾尺……可他如果蕩過那扇窗戶，他們一定會看到他的腳。
“We will have to watch him carefully,” the woman said.
"我們得好好監(jiān)視他才行。"女人說。
“I would sooner watch you,” the man said. He sounded bored. “Come back here.”
"我寧愿好好看看你，"男人說，他的語氣聽起來很無趣，"過來吧。"
“Lord Eddard has never taken any interest in anything that happened south of the Neck,” the woman said. “Never. I tell you, he means to move against us. Why else would he leave the seat of his power?”
"艾德公爵從沒插手過南方的事務(wù)，"女人道，"從來沒有。我告訴你，他明明就是要對付我們，不然何必離開他的勢力中心？"
背景介紹：
《權(quán)力的游戲》是一部中世紀(jì)史詩奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)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(chǔ)改編創(chuàng)作，由大衛(wèi)·貝尼奧夫和丹尼爾·威斯編劇、HBO電視網(wǎng)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(guān)注點(diǎn)，描寫細(xì)膩豐富，突破了幻想文學(xué)界固有的創(chuàng)作模式，多次引領(lǐng)閱讀潮流。由于馬丁的輝煌成就，他被譽(yù)為美國的托爾金和新世紀(jì)的海明威。從1989年開始，馬丁淡出文學(xué)界，轉(zhuǎn)而投身演藝界發(fā)展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學(xué)的創(chuàng)作，處女作便是《權(quán)力的游戲》，即為《冰與火之歌》的首部曲。《權(quán)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(jīng)可以和《魔戒》平起平坐，作者網(wǎng)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。
