“What were the maester’s words?” Jaime asked.
"老學士具體是怎么說的？"詹姆問。
The bacon crunched when he bit into it. Tyrion chewed thoughtfully for a moment and said, “He thinks that if the boy were going to die, he would have done so already. It has been four days with no change.”
提利昂咬了口培根，發出松脆的聲響。他若有所思地嚼了一會兒方才開口："他認為那孩子要死早就死了，不會這樣拖了四天毫無動靜。"
“Will Bran get better, Uncle?” little Myrcella asked. She had all of her mother’s beauty, and none of her nature.
"舅舅，布蘭會好起來么？"小彌賽菈又問。她從母親那里繼承了所有的美貌，卻絲毫沒有半點瑟曦狠毒的性格。
“His back is broken, little one,” Tyrion told her. “The fall shattered his legs as well. They keep him alive with honey and water, or he would starve to death. Perhaps, if he wakes, he will be able to eat real food, but he will never walk again.”
"小寶貝，他的背摔斷了，"提利昂告訴她，"兩只腳也都殘廢。他們現在喂他蜂蜜和開水，不然他會活活餓死。也許等他醒來之后，可以吃東西，但卻一輩子都別想走路了。"
“If he wakes,” Cersei repeated. “Is that likely?”
"等他醒來，"瑟曦重復了一遍，"你覺得有可能？"
“The gods alone know,” Tyrion told her. “The maester only hopes.” He chewed some more bread. “I would swear that wolf of his is keeping the boy alive. The creature is outside his window day and night, howling. Every time they chase it away, it returns. The maester said they closed the window once, to shut out the noise, and Bran seemed to weaken. When they opened it again, his heart beat stronger.”
"只有天上諸神知道，"提利昂答道，"老師傅只是揣測罷了。"他又咬了幾口面包，"不過我敢說那孩子的狼是支持他活下去的原動力，它每天不分晝夜守在窗外，叫個不停，怎么趕也趕不走。老師傅說他們曾關上窗子，以為如此便能減少噪音，誰知布蘭的情況卻立刻惡化，后來他們打開窗戶，他又轉危為安。"
The queen shuddered. “There is something unnatural about those animals,” she said. “They are dangerous. I will not have any of them coming south with us.”
王后顫聲道："那些動物古怪極了，"她說，"瞧那模樣就很危險，我絕不準它們隨我們回南方去。"
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。
