“Dragon’s eggs, from the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai,” said Magister Illyrio. “The eons have turned them to stone, yet still they burn bright with beauty.”
"這是來自亞夏以東陰影之地的龍蛋。"伊利里歐總督說，"歷經千萬年而成化石，卻依舊亮麗動人。"
“I shall treasure them always.” Dany had heard tales of such eggs, but she had never seen one, nor thought to see one. It was a truly magnificent gift, though she knew that Illyrio could afford to be lavish. He had collected a fortune in horses and slaves for his part in selling her to Khal Drogo.
"我會永遠珍藏他們。"丹妮聽過關于龍蛋的種種傳聞，但從未親眼目睹，更沒想到會有機會見識。這實在是價值連城的厚禮，雖然她也知道伊利里歐花得起大錢。光是把她賣給卓戈卡奧，就讓他賺了大批良駒和奴隸。
The khal’s bloodriders offered her the traditional three weapons, and splendid weapons they were. Haggo gave her a great leather whip with a silver handle, Cohollo a magnificent arakh chased in gold, and Qotho a double-curved dragonbone bow taller than she was. Magister Illyrio and Ser Jorah had taught her the traditional refusals for these offerings. “This is a gift worthy of a great warrior, O blood of my blood, and I am but a woman. Let my lord husband bear these in my stead.” And so Khal Drogo too received his “bride gifts.”
依照傳統，卡奧的血盟衛贈與她三件耀眼武器。哈戈送她一把銀柄長鞭，科霍羅送她一柄氣派非凡的鍍金亞拉克彎刀，柯索則送她一把比她人還高的雙弧龍骨長弓。伊利里歐總督和喬拉爵士事先教過她傳統的拒絕儀式。"吾血之血啊，這些都是偉大的戰士應有的武器，但我僅是一介弱女子，就讓我的夫君替我使用罷！"于是卓戈卡奧得到了她的"新娘禮".
Other gifts she was given in plenty by other Dothraki: slippers and jewels and silver rings for her hair, medallion belts and painted vests and soft furs, sandsilks and jars of scent, needles and feathers and tiny bottles of purple glass, and a gown made from the skin of a thousand mice.
其他多斯拉克人也紛紛上前，送她許多禮物：有珠寶拖鞋、銀制發環、獎章腰帶、彩繪背心和輕軟毛皮，紗絲和香精罐，針線、羽毛和小巧的紫玻璃瓶，以及一件以千只老鼠皮織成的睡衣。"
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。
