When she pulled up before Magister Illyrio, she said, “Tell Khal Drogo that he has given me the wind.” The fat Pentoshi stroked his yellow beard as he repeated her words in Dothraki, and Dany saw her new husband smile for the first time.
她在伊利里歐總督面前停下,說:"請告訴卓戈卡奧,他給了我風的力量。"這位肥胖的潘托斯人捻捻黃胡子,把她的話譯為多斯拉克語,接著丹妮頭一次看到她的新婚丈夫露出微笑。
The last sliver of sun vanished behind the high walls of Pentos to the west just then. Dany had lost all track of time. Khal Drogo commanded his bloodriders to bring forth his own horse, a lean red stallion. As the khal was saddling the horse, Viserys slid close to Dany on her silver, dug his fingers into her leg, and said, “Please him, sweet sister, or I swear, you will see the dragon wake as it has never woken before.”
就在這時,夕陽的最后一抹余暉消失在潘托斯的高墻盡頭。丹妮已完全沒了時間概念。卓戈卡奧命令血盟衛們把他的坐騎牽來,那是匹精瘦的紅色駿馬。卡奧裝配馬鞍時,韋賽里斯閃到騎著銀馬的丹妮身邊,伸出手指摳進她的大腿肉:"親愛的好妹妹,你給我好好取悅他,否則我保證讓你看看真正的喚醒睡龍是什么樣子。"
The fear came back to her then, with her brother’s words. She felt like a child once more, only thirteen and all alone, not ready for what was about to happen to her.
哥哥的這番話把恐懼又帶了回來。她再度覺得自己像個小孩子,只有十三歲,孤零零的,對于即將發生在身上的事毫無準備。
They rode out together as the stars came out, leaving the khalasar and the grass palaces behind. Khal Drogo spoke no word to her, but drove his stallion at a hard trot through the gathering dusk. The tiny silver bells in his long braid rang softly as he rode. “I am the blood of the dragon,” she whispered aloud as she followed, trying to keep her courage up. “I am the blood of the dragon. I am the blood of the dragon.” The dragon was never afraid.
星星出來的時候,他們一同騎馬離開,將卡拉薩和草織宮殿拋在身后。卓戈卡奧一句話也沒有說,徑自催馬狂奔,跑進愈加深沉的夜色。他長長發辮上的銀鈴一路輕聲作響。"我是真龍傳人,"她一邊跟上,一邊大聲地對自己說,努力鼓起勇氣。"我是真龍傳人,我是真龍傳人。"龍是不會害怕的。
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。
