Tyrion laughed. “You’re too smart to believe that. The Night’s Watch is a midden heap for all the misfits of the realm. I’ve seen you looking at Yoren and his boys. Those are your new brothers, Jon Snow, how do you like them? Sullen peasants, debtors, poachers, rapers, thieves, and bastards like you all wind up on the Wall, watching for grumkins and snarks and all the other monsters your wet nurse warned you about. The good part is there are no grumkins or snarks, so it’s scarcely dangerous work. The bad part is you freeze your balls off, but since you’re not allowed to breed anyway, I don’t suppose that matters.”
提利昂笑笑。"聰明如你，怎會相信這種屁話？守夜人軍團是個專門接收全國各地人渣廢物的垃圾場，我瞧見了你看尤倫和他手下那兩小子的神色，他們就是你的新弟兄，瓊恩·雪諾，你可還喜歡？一臉死相的農奴、欠債鬼、盜獵者、強奸犯、小偷，還有像你這樣的私生子通通都發配到長城上來，負責防范你奶媽小時候告訴你的各種古靈精怪。往好的方面想嘛，根本就沒有什么古靈精怪；可是往壞處想呢，那地方冷得連命根子都要凍掉。不過既然原本就不準你生育后代，我看也沒什么關系。"
“Stop it!” the boy screamed. He took a step forward, his hands coiling into fists, close to tears.
"不要說了！"男孩尖叫著前跨一步，雙手握拳，眼看就要掉下淚來。
Suddenly, absurdly, Tyrion felt guilty. He took a step forward, intending to give the boy a reassuring pat on the shoulder or mutter some word of apology.
提利昂突然很荒謬地有股罪惡感，他也朝前走了一步，想拍拍男孩肩膀安慰他，或是道聲歉。
He never saw the wolf, where it was or how it came at him. One moment he was walking toward Snow and the next he was flat on his back on the hard rocky ground, the book spinning away from him as he fell, the breath going out of him at the sudden impact, his mouth full of dirt and blood and rotting leaves. As he tried to get up, his back spasmed painfully. He must have wrenched it in the fall. He ground his teeth in frustration, grabbed a root, and pulled himself back to a sitting position. “Help me,” he said to the boy, reaching up a hand.
那只狼究竟是從什么地方出現的，他自始至終沒有瞧見。前一刻他正朝雪諾走去，下一刻已被迎面撲倒在堅石地上，手中的書飛出老遠。他被撞得喘不過氣來，滿嘴都是泥土血腥和枯枝腐葉。等他掙扎著想起身，背部卻又劇烈地痙攣，一定是摔倒的時候扭了。他氣惱地咬緊牙根，勾著一節樹根，勉強坐住。"幫幫我罷。"他朝男孩伸出手。
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。
