“Seven hells, someone had to kill Aerys!” Robert said, reining his mount to a sudden halt beside an ancient barrow. “If Jaime hadn’t done it, it would have been left for you or me.”
"媽的，總得有人動(dòng)手吧？"勞勃道，他在一座古老的荒墳邊勒住馬韁。"要是他沒(méi)殺掉伊里斯，那么不是你殺就是我殺。"
“We were not Sworn Brothers of the Kingsguard,” Ned said. The time had come for Robert to hear the whole truth, he decided then and there. “Do you remember the Trident, Your Grace?”
"我們可不是宣誓效死的御林鐵衛(wèi)。"奈德道，當(dāng)下他決定是該讓勞勃聽(tīng)聽(tīng)實(shí)話的時(shí)候了。"陛下，您可還記得三叉戟河之戰(zhàn)？"
“I won my crown there. How should I forget it?”
"我頭上的王冠就是在那兒掙來(lái)的，怎么可能忘記？"
“You took a wound from Rhaegar,” Ned reminded him. “So when the Targaryen host broke and ran, you gave the pursuit into my hands. The remnants of Rhaegar’s army fled back to King’s Landing. We followed. Aerys was in the Red Keep with several thousand loyalists. I expected to find the gates closed to us.”
"您在和雷加的決斗中負(fù)了傷，"奈德提醒他，"因此當(dāng)坦格利安軍潰散后，您將追擊的任務(wù)托付于我。雷加的殘兵逃回君臨，我們尾隨而至。伊里斯和幾千名死士守在紅堡，我本以為城門一定是緊緊關(guān)閉。"
Robert gave an impatient shake of his head. “Instead you found that our men had already taken the city. What of it?”
勞勃不耐煩地?fù)u頭接口："結(jié)果你發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的人已經(jīng)占領(lǐng)了城堡，那又如何？"
“Not our men,” Ned said patiently. “Lannister men. The lion of Lannister flew over the ramparts, not the crowned stag. And they had taken the city by treachery.”
"不是我們的人，"奈德耐著性子，"是蘭尼斯特家的人。當(dāng)時(shí)城垛上飄揚(yáng)的是蘭尼斯特家族的怒吼雄獅，并非寶冠雄鹿。城池乃是他們靠詭計(jì)奪下的。"
The war had raged for close to a year. Lords great and small had flocked to Robert’s banners; others had remained loyal to Targaryen. The mighty Lannisters of Casterly Rock, the Wardens of the West, had remained aloof from the struggle, ignoring calls to arms from both rebels and royalists. Aerys Targaryen must have thought that his gods had answered his prayers when Lord Tywin Lannister appeared before the gates of King’s Landing with an army twelve thousand strong, professing loyalty. So the mad king had ordered his last mad act. He had opened his city to the lions at the gate.
當(dāng)時(shí)戰(zhàn)火已經(jīng)蔓燒將近一年，大小貴族紛紛投至勞勃旗下，也有不少仍舊忠于坦格利安家族。勢(shì)力龐大，世代擔(dān)任西境守護(hù)的凱巖城蘭尼斯特家族，卻始終遠(yuǎn)離戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，不理會(huì)叛黨和保王人士的呼喚。最后，當(dāng)泰溫·蘭尼斯特公爵親率一萬(wàn)兩千精兵出現(xiàn)在君臨城下，表示勤王意圖時(shí)，伊里斯·坦格利安想必以為自己命不該絕罷。于是瘋狂的國(guó)王下了他最后一道瘋狂的命令，大開(kāi)城門，引獅入室。
背景介紹：
《權(quán)力的游戲》是一部中世紀(jì)史詩(shī)奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)劇。該劇以美國(guó)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(shuō)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(guó)的托爾金和新世紀(jì)的海明威。從1989年開(kāi)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(kāi)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。《權(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(wèn)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(jiàn)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。
