11.DAENERYS
第十一章 丹妮莉絲
Daenerys Targaryen wed Khal Drogo with fear and barbaric splendor in a field beyond the walls of Pentos, for the Dothraki believed that all things of importance in a man’s life must be done beneath the open sky.
丹妮莉絲·坦格利安滿心恐懼,在潘托斯城郊草原上與卓戈卡奧成了婚。之所以選在這里,是因為多斯拉克人認為所有的人生大事,都應該讓蒼天作見證。
Drogo had called his khalasar to attend him and they had come, forty thousand Dothraki warriors and uncounted numbers of women, children, and slaves. Outside the city walls they camped with their vast herds, raising palaces of woven grass, eating everything in sight, and making the good folk of Pentos more anxious with every passing day.
卓戈號召他的卡拉薩參加婚禮,他們便都如約前來,包括浩浩蕩蕩四萬名多斯拉克武士,以及難以計數的婦孺奴隸。他們帶著為數眾多的牲口,扎營于城墻之外,快速搭成草織的宮殿,吃遍目光所及的一切食物,讓潘托斯的居民越來越不安。
“My fellow magisters have doubled the size of the city guard,” Illyrio told them over platters of honey duck and orange snap peppers one night at the manse that had been Drogo’s. The khal had joined his khalasar, his estate given over to Daenerys and her brother until the wedding.
"其他總督把城市守衛翻了一倍。"有天晚上,伊利里歐邊吃著一碟碟蜂蜜烤鴨和胡椒橙,邊對他們說。卡奧已經回到卡拉薩之中,他的宅院就暫時讓丹妮莉絲和哥哥居住,直到婚禮結束。
“Best we get Princess Daenerys wedded quickly before they hand half the wealth of Pentos away to sellswords and bravos,” Ser Jorah Mormont jested. The exile had offered her brother his sword the night Dany had been sold to Kbal Drogo; Viserys had accepted eagerly. Mormont had been their constant companion ever since.
"我看咱們得盡快讓丹妮莉絲公主嫁出門,免得潘托斯的財富都給傭兵和無賴賺跑了。"喬拉·莫爾蒙爵士玩笑道。丹妮被賣給卓戈卡奧的當晚,這位遭放逐的騎士便提議為哥哥效力。韋賽里斯迫不及待地答應下來,從那之后,莫爾蒙便成了隨侍他們左右的伙伴。
