Magister Illyrio laughed lightly through his forked beard, but Viserys did not so much as smile. “He can have her tomorrow, if he likes,” her brother said. He glanced over at Dany, and she lowered her eyes. “So long as he pays the price.”
伊利里歐總督抖著胡子輕輕笑了,但韋賽里斯連嘴唇都沒動(dòng)一下。"他高興的話,明天就要她也行。"哥哥說著瞟了丹妮一眼,她垂下眼睛。"只要他信守諾言。"
Illyrio waved a languid hand in the air, rings glittering on his fat fingers. “I have told you, all is settled. Trust me. The khal has promised you a crown, and you shall have it.”
伊利里歐無力地?fù)]揮手,胖手指上一堆戒指閃閃發(fā)光。"我跟您說過,一切都打點(diǎn)妥當(dāng)啦??▕W既已答應(yīng)要給你一頂王冠,他就一定說到做到。"
“Yes, but when?”
"好吧,可什么時(shí)候給呢?"
“When the khal chooses,” Illyrio said. “He will have the girl first, and after they are wed he must make his procession across the plains and present her to the dosh khaleen at Vaes Dothrak. After that, perhaps. If the omens favor war.”
"這就要看卡奧他的意思了。"伊利里歐道,"他當(dāng)然會(huì)先要這女孩,等完婚之后,還要帶著人馬橫跨草原,帶她晉見維斯·多斯拉克的多希卡林。在那之后,他應(yīng)該會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)諾言,如果預(yù)兆顯示戰(zhàn)爭吉利的話。"
Viserys seethed with impatience. “I piss on Dothraki omens. The Usurper sits on my father’s throne. How long must I wait?”
韋賽里斯一臉不耐煩:"我管他媽的多斯拉克預(yù)兆。篡奪者坐在我父王的王座上,我還得等多久?"
Illyrio gave a massive shrug. “You have waited most of your life, great king. What is another few months, another few years?”
伊利里歐聳聳寬大的肩膀。"偉大的國王啊,您已經(jīng)等了大半輩子,再多等幾月……就算再多等個(gè)幾年,又怎么樣呢?"
Ser Jorah, who had traveled as far east as Vaes Dothrak, nodded in agreement. “I counsel you to be patient, Your Grace. The Dothraki are true to their word, but they do things in their own time. A lesser man may beg a favor from the khal, but must never presume to berate him.”
交游廣泛,足跡遠(yuǎn)至維斯·多斯拉克的喬拉爵士點(diǎn)頭同意。"陛下,我也建議您耐心等待。多斯拉克人言出必踐,但方式卻得照他們的意思來。地位較低的人或許可以懇求卡奧幫忙,但千萬不能用以上對下之姿教訓(xùn)他。"
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(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?!稒?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。
