Five men, three boys, a direwolf, twenty horses, and a cage of ravens given over to Benjen Stark by Maester Luwin. No doubt they made a curious fellowship for the kingsroad, or any road.
五個男人,三個孩子,一只冰原狼,二十匹馬,還有一籠魯溫學(xué)士托班揚·史塔克捎帶的大烏鴉,這樣的一支隊伍,想必是幅相當(dāng)怪異的景象。
Tyrion noticed Jon Snow watching Yoren and his sullen companions, with an odd cast to his face that looked uncomfortably like dismay. Yoren had a twisted shoulder and a sour smell, his hair and beard were matted and greasy and full of lice, his clothing old, patched, and seldom washed. His two young recruits smelled even worse, and seemed as stupid as they were cruel.
提利昂注意到瓊恩·雪諾一路不住打量尤倫和他那兩名陰郁伙伴,臉上掛著古怪的表情,似乎有些困惱。尤倫不僅駝背,而且渾身酸臭,須發(fā)油膩,虱蚤叢生又衣衫破爛,遍布補丁且甚少清洗。他的兩名手下味道更難聞,人則既愚蠢又殘忍。
No doubt the boy had made the mistake of thinking that the Night’s Watch was made up of men like his uncle. If so, Yoren and his companions were a rude awakening. Tyrion felt sorry for the boy. He had chosen a hard life. or perhaps he should say that a hard life had been chosen for him.
看來那孩子誤以為守夜人軍團里全是他叔叔這種人了。倘若他真這么想,那么尤倫一幫人對他可算是個錯愕的覺醒。提利昂為那孩子難過,他選擇的是一條艱難的道路……或者應(yīng)該說,別人為他選擇了這條艱難的道路。
He had rather less sympathy for the uncle. Benjen Stark seemed to share his brother’s distaste for Lannisters, and he had not been pleased when Tyrion had told him of his intentions. “I warn you, Lannister, you’ll find no inns at the Wall,” he had said, looking down on him.
他對孩子的叔叔可沒這般好感。班揚·史塔克似乎和他哥哥一樣討厭蘭尼斯特家的人,先前當(dāng)提利昂表示想要同行時,他的反應(yīng)相當(dāng)不悅:"蘭尼斯特,我話說在前頭,長城沒旅館可住的。"他高高在上地盯著他。
“No doubt you’ll find some place to put me,” Tyrion had replied. “As you might have noticed, I’m small.”
"你總有辦法安頓我罷,"提利昂答道,"你也看到了,我個子很小。"
背景介紹:
《權(quán)力的游戲》是一部中世紀(jì)史詩奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)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(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大師。馬丁的作品主要以人物為關(guān)注點,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,他被譽為美國的托爾金和新世紀(jì)的海明威。從1989年開始,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?!稒?quán)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(jīng)可以和《魔戒》平起平坐,作者網(wǎng)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。
