Viserys bristled. “Guard your tongue, Mormont, or I’ll have it out. I am no lesser man, I am the rightful Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. The dragon does not beg.”
韋賽里斯怒道："莫爾蒙，你講話最好注意點，否則小心我把你舌頭給割了。我可不是什么地位較低的人，我乃堂堂七國之君，真龍傳人是不會卑躬屈膝的。"
Ser Jorah lowered his eyes respectfully. Illyrio smiled enigmatically and tore a wing from the duck. Honey and grease ran over his fingers and dripped down into his beard as he nibbled at the tender meat. There are no more dragons, Dany thought, staring at her brother, though she did not dare say it aloud.
喬拉爵士恭敬地垂下眼睛。伊利里歐神秘地笑笑，撕下一只鴨翅膀，咬了起來，胡子上沾滿蜂蜜和油汁。真龍已經不復存在了，丹妮怔怔地看著哥哥，卻不敢大聲說出來。
Yet that night she dreamt of one. Viserys was hitting her, hurting her. She was naked, clumsy with fear. She ran from him, but her body seemed thick and ungainly. He struck her again. She stumbled and fell. “You woke the dragon,” he screamed as he kicked her. “You woke the dragon, you woke the dragon.” Her thighs were slick with blood. She closed her eyes and whimpered. As if in answer, there was a hideous ripping sound and the crackling of some great fire. When she looked again, Viserys was gone, great columns of flame rose all around, and in the midst of them was the dragon. It turned its great head slowly. When its molten eyes found hers, she woke, shaking and covered with a fine sheen of sweat. She had never been so afraid?.?.?.?
然而那天晚上，她卻夢見了一只龍。夢中韋賽里斯又在打她、欺負她。她渾身赤裸，害怕得手足無措。她想從他身邊跑開，身體卻不聽使喚。他再度出手，把她打得踉蹌倒地。"你喚醒了睡龍之怒，"他一邊尖叫一邊對她拳打腳踢，"你喚醒了睡龍，你喚醒了睡龍。"她的大腿淌滿鮮血，正閉眼呻吟，只聽一陣猙獰的撕裂，接著是一片雄渾的大火劈啪，仿佛有誰在回應。睜眼一看，韋賽里斯已經不見蹤影，四周升起巨大火柱，火柱中間有一頭巨龍。它緩緩轉頭，那對宛如熔巖的眼睛與她目光相接。這時她便醒了，醒來時渾身顫抖，冷汗直流。她這輩子從沒這么害怕過……
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。
