Afterward she could not say how far or how long they had ridden, but it was full dark when they stopped at a grassy place beside a small stream. Drogo swung off his horse and lifted her down from hers. She felt as fragile as glass in his hands, her limbs as weak as water. She stood there helpless and trembling in her wedding silks while he secured the horses, and when he turned to look at her, she began to cry.
事后想來，她說不準他們究竟騎了多遠，騎了多久，但當他們在一條小溪邊的草地上停步時，天已經全黑。卓戈翻身下馬，然后把她抱下來。在他手里，她覺得自己脆弱得好像玻璃，四肢無力猶如溺水。她穿著結婚禮服，站在原地顫抖，看他把馬匹拴好，當他轉頭望她時，她的眼淚終于忍不住滑落。卓戈卡奧看著她的淚水，臉上卻奇怪地毫無表情。"不。"他抬起手，用長繭的拇指粗魯地抹去她的淚水。
Khal Drogo stared at her tears, his face strangely empty of expression. “No,” he said. He lifted his hand and rubbed away the tears roughly with a callused thumb.
卓戈卡奧看著她的淚水，臉上卻奇怪地毫無表情。"不。"他抬起手，用長繭的拇指粗魯地抹去她的淚水。
“You speak the Common Tongue,” Dany said in wonder.
"你會通用語？"丹妮驚奇地說。
“No,” he said again.
"不。"他又說。
Perhaps he had only that word, she thought, but it was one word more than she had known he had, and somehow it made her feel a little better. Drogo touched her hair lightly, sliding the silver-blond strands between his fingers and murmuring softly in Dothraki. Dany did not understand the words, yet there was warmth in the tone, a tenderness she had never expected from this man.
或許他就只懂這個字，她心想，但總比她原先想像的要好得多，這稍稍安撫了她的情緒。卓戈輕觸她的頭發，一邊用手撫弄她亮銀色的發絲，一邊用多斯拉克話喃喃自語。丹妮聽不懂他在說些什么，然而話中卻有種溫暖的感覺，一種她原本不期待會在這個男人身上找到的溫柔。
He put his finger under her chin and lifted her head, so she was looking up into his eyes. Drogo towered over her as he towered over everyone. Taking her lightly under the arms, he lifted her and seated her on a rounded rock beside the stream. Then he sat on the ground facing her, legs crossed beneath him, their faces finally at a height. “No,” he said.
他伸出手指撫她下巴，托起她的頭，讓她直視他的雙眼。與她相比，卓戈明顯高出一大截，他比所有人都高出一截。他輕輕地自腋下抱起她，把她放在溪邊的圓石上。然后他坐在地上，面對她，雙腳盤坐，兩人的臉終于處在同樣高度。"不。"他說。
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。
