Jon did not know what to say. “It wasn’t your fault,” he managed after an awkward silence.
瓊恩不知該說什么才好。"不是你的錯。"一陣局促的沉默后,他勉強說了一句。
Her eyes found him. They were full of poison. “I need none of your absolution, bastard.”
她的視線找到了他,眼神充滿怨毒。"用不著你這沒娘的野種可憐我。"
Jon lowered his eyes. She was cradling one of Bran’s hands. He took the other, squeezed it. Fingers like the bones of birds. “Good-bye,” he said.
瓊恩垂下眼,她正托撫著布蘭的一只手,他牽起另一只,握在手中,只覺孱弱得像小鳥的骨頭。"別了。"他說。
He was at the door when she called out to him. “Jon,” she said. He should have kept going, but she had never called him by his name before. He turned to find her looking at his face, as if she were seeing it for the first time.
當(dāng)他走到門邊時,她開口喚他。"瓊恩,"她說。他實在就應(yīng)該這么繼續(xù)走下去,但她從沒有用他的名字稱呼過他。于是他轉(zhuǎn)過身,發(fā)現(xiàn)她正盯著他的臉,仿佛這輩子第一次見到。
“Yes?” he said.
"什么?"他問。
“It should have been you,” she told him. Then she turned back to Bran and began to weep, her whole body shaking with the sobs. Jon had never seen her cry before.
"今天躺在這里的應(yīng)該是你才對。"她告訴他。說完她轉(zhuǎn)身朝向布蘭,痛哭流涕,全身上下都隨之而猛烈抽搐。瓊恩以前從沒見她掉下一滴眼淚。
It was a long walk down to the yard.
回到樓下廣場的路,好漫長。
Outside, everything was noise and confusion. Wagons were being loaded, men were shouting, horses were being harnessed and saddled and led from the stables. A light snow had begun to fall, and everyone was in an uproar to be off.
外面到處都是車馬喧囂,亂成一團。人們高聲呼喝,將貨物運上車輛,為馬匹套上韁繩馬鐙,然后牽進馬廄。空中飄起細雪,每個人都急著早些處理完手邊的事務(wù),才好躲進屋中。
Robb was in the middle of it, shouting commands with the best of them. He seemed to have grown of late, as if Bran’s fall and his mother’s collapse had somehow made him stronger. Grey Wind was at his side.
羅柏置身旋渦中心,鎮(zhèn)定自若地發(fā)號施令。這些日子以來,他似乎突然成熟了許多,似乎布蘭的意外和母親瀕臨崩潰逼使他不得不堅強起來。灰風(fēng)隨侍在他身旁。
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,描寫細膩豐富,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。
