“I’m going to tell Mother!” Joffrey exclaimed.
"我要去告訴媽媽！"喬佛里喊。
Tyrion hit him again. Now both cheeks flamed.
提利昂又打了他一個巴掌，這下子他兩邊臉頰都一般通紅了。
“You tell your mother,” Tyrion told him. “But first you get yourself to Lord and Lady Stark, and you fall to your knees in front of them, and you tell them how very sorry you are, and that you are at their service if there is the slightest thing you can do for them or theirs in this desperate hour, and that all your prayers go with them. Do you understand? Do you?”
"隨你去跟她怎么說，"提利昂告訴他，"但你首先給我去乖乖拜見史塔克公爵夫婦，我要你在他們面前跪下，說你自己感到非常遺憾，說即便是最微不足道的事情，只要能讓他們寬心，你都愿意赴湯蹈火在所不辭，最后還要為他們獻上你最虔誠的祝禱，你聽懂了沒有？聽懂了沒有？"
The boy looked as though he was going to cry. Instead, he managed a weak nod. Then he turned and fled headlong from the yard, holding his cheek. Tyrion watched him run.
男孩一副泫然欲泣的模樣，但還是勉為其難地點點頭，然后轉身捂著臉頰，橫沖直撞地跑離廣場。提利昂目送他遠去。
A shadow fell across his face. He turned to find Clegane looming overhead like a cliff. His soot-dark armor seemed to blot out the sun. He had lowered the visor on his helm. It was fashioned in the likeness of a snarling black hound, fearsome to behold, but Tyrion had always thought it a great improvement over Clegane’s hideously burned face.
一團黑影突然籠罩住他，他轉過頭，發現高大的克里岡正如同陡峭絕壁般陰惻惻地朝他逼近，煤煙色的黑甲宛如燦爛陽光中的污點。他已經放下了頭盔上的面罩，面罩的形狀是一只咧嘴咆哮的兇狠獵犬，令人怵目驚心，不過提利昂認為比起克里岡那張燒得稀爛的臉，這面罩已算美得太多。
“The prince will remember that, little lord,” the Hound warned him. The helm turned his laugh into a hollow rumble.
"大人，王子不會輕易忘記您剛才對他的舉動的。"獵狗警告他，克里岡的聲音從頭盔里傳來，原本的獰笑成了空洞的轟隆。
“I pray he does,” Tyrion Lannister replied. “If he forgets, be a good dog and remind him.” He glanced around the courtyard. “Do you know where I might find my brother?”
"他記得最好，"提利昂·蘭尼斯特回答，"哪天要是他忘了，你這條狗可要好好提醒他。"他環視廣場，又問："你知道我哥哥在哪兒？"
“Breaking fast with the queen.”
"正與王后共進早餐。"
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。
