A crowd had gathered around the queen's wheelhouse. Sansa heard excited voices buzzing like a hive of bees.
王后的行宮外正聚集了一群人，珊莎聽見他們興奮地交談，像是一大群蜜蜂嗡嗡作響。
The doors had been thrown open, she saw, and the queen stood at the top of the wooden steps, smiling down at someone.
行宮的大門敞開，王后站在木頭階梯的最上層，對著人群里的某人微笑。
She heard her saying, The council does us great honor, my good lords.
珊莎聽見她說：兩位大人，重臣們真是太周到了。
What's happening? she asked a squire she knew.
發生了什么事？她問一個認識的侍從。
The council sent riders from King's Landing to escort us the rest of the way, he told her. An honor guard for the king.
御前會議派人從君臨來迎接我們，他告訴她，為國王派出的榮譽護衛。
Anxious to see, Sansa let Lady clear a path through the crowd. People moved aside hastily for the direwolf.
珊莎迫不及待想瞧瞧，便讓淑女走在前面開路。人們見了冰原狼紛紛躲避。
When she got closer, she saw two knights kneeling before the queen, in armor so fine and gorgeous that it made her blink.
等她靠得夠近，只見兩名騎士單膝跪在王后面前，他們的鎧甲做工之精細華麗，使她目炫神迷。
One knight wore an intricate suit of white enameled scales, brilliant as a field of new-fallen snow, with silver chasings and clasps that glittered in the sun.
其中一名騎士穿了一套雕工繁復，上了瓷釉的白鱗甲，燦爛得活像一片覆蓋初雪的潔白大地，白色銀線和鉤扣在陽光下熠熠發光。
When he removed his helm, Sansa saw that he was an old man with hair as pale as his armor, yet he seemed strong and graceful for all that.
待他取下頭盔，珊莎才發現他原是個老人，一頭白發和他的鎧甲顏色一般。雖然如此，他看起來卻老當益壯，一舉一動甚是優雅。
From his shoulders hung the pure white cloak of the Kingsguard.
他的雙肩垂系著象征御林鐵衛的純白披風。
His companion was a man near twenty whose armor was steel plate of a deep forest-green. He was the handsomest man Sansa had ever set eyes upon;
他的同伴年約二十，一身精鋼打造的深綠鎧甲，綠如密林。他是珊莎所見過的最英俊的男子，
tall and powerfully made, with jet-black hair that fell to his shoulders and framed a clean-shaven face, and laughing green eyes to match his armor.
體格高大魁梧，黑玉般的及肩長發襯托出他修整干凈的臉龐，那雙帶著笑意的藍眼，正好與盔甲的顏色交相輝映。
Cradled under one arm was an antlered helm, its magnificent rack shimmering in gold.
他懷抱一頂鹿角盔，兩只華麗的鹿角金光閃閃。
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。
