“I advise against putting that suggestion to Lord Eddard, sweet brother,” Tyrion said. “He would not take it kindly.”
"親愛的哥哥呀,我可不建議你把這話拿去對(duì)史塔克大人講。"提利昂道,"他可不會(huì)了解你的好心腸喲。"
“Even if the boy does live, he will be a cripple. Worse than a cripple. A grotesque. Give me a good clean death.”
"就算那孩子活下來(lái),也成了跛子。恐怕連跛子都不如,根本就是個(gè)畸形的怪胎。我寧可干脆利落地死。"
Tyrion replied with a shrug that accentuated the twist of his shoulders. “Speaking for the grotesques,” he said, “I beg to differ. Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.”
提利昂用聳肩來(lái)回應(yīng)這番話,只是這個(gè)動(dòng)作更突顯出他的駝背。"畸形怪胎,"他說(shuō),"不是我多嘴,但死了就什么都沒(méi)了,活著起碼還能充滿希望。"
Jaime smiled. “You are a perverse little imp, aren’t you?”
詹姆微笑道:"你這小惡魔還真心術(shù)不正,是吧?"
“Oh, yes,” Tyrion admitted. “I hope the boy does wake. I would be most interested to hear what he might have to say.”
"呵,那當(dāng)然,"提利昂承認(rèn),"我真心希望那孩子活過(guò)來(lái),不為別的,我想聽聽他還知道些什么。"
His brother’s smile curdled like sour milk. “Tyrion, my sweet brother,” he said darkly, “there are times when you give me cause to wonder whose side you are on.”
哥哥的笑容像酸敗的牛奶般突然僵住。"提利昂,我親愛的好弟弟,"他陰陰地說(shuō),"有時(shí)候我還真不知道你站在哪一邊。"
Tyrion’s mouth was full of bread and fish. He took a swallow of strong black beer to wash it all down, and grinned up wolfishly at Jaime, “Why, Jaime, my sweet brother,” he said, “you wound me. You know how much I love my family.”
提利昂滿嘴都是面包和煎魚,他灌了一大口黑啤酒把食物沖下肚,露出狼一般的笑容對(duì)詹姆笑笑:"唉,我最親愛的詹姆哥哥呀,"他說(shuō),"你這話好傷我的心,你難道不知我最愛家人了嗎?"
背景介紹:
《權(quán)力的游戲》是一部中世紀(jì)史詩(shī)奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)劇。該劇以美國(guó)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(shuō)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(guó)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(jiǎng)和星云獎(jiǎng)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(wèn)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(shí)代雜志評(píng)選為2011年影響世界的一百人之一。
