There was a loud crack as the wood split against the back of the prince's head, and then everything happened at once before Sansa's horrified eyes.
朝王子后腦狠狠一敲,只聽喀啦一聲,棍子應聲開裂。
Joffrey staggered and whirled around, roaring curses. Mycah ran for the trees as fast as his legs would take him.
喬佛里則踉蹌旋身,大聲罵著粗話。米凱拔腿便往林子里逃。
Arya swung at the prince again, but this time Joffrey caught the blow on Lion's Tooth and sent her broken stick flying from her hands.
艾莉亞揮棒再打,但這回喬佛里舉起'獅牙',把她手中的掃帚棍打斷、震飛。
The back of his head was all bloody and his eyes were on fire.
他后腦勺全是血,眼里燃燒著怒火,
Sansa was shrieking, No, no, stop it, stop it, both of you, you're spoiling it, but no one was listening.
珊莎拚命尖叫:住手,你們兩個都住手,你們把事情都搞砸了。但沒人聽她的話。
Arya scooped up a rock and hurled it at Joffrey's head. She hit his horse instead, and the blood bay reared and went galloping off after Mycah.
艾莉亞撿起石塊朝喬佛里的頭擲去,卻打中了他的馬。血紅色的駿馬揚起前腿,跟在米凱后面狂奔。
Stop it, don't, stop it! Sansa screamed. Joffrey slashed at Arya with his sword, screaming obscenities, terrible words, filthy words.
住手!不要打了!珊莎尖叫。喬佛里揮劍朝艾莉亞猛砍,嘴里不停喝罵著可怕的臟話。
Arya darted back, frightened now, but Joffrey followed, hounding her toward the woods, backing her up against a tree.
這時艾莉亞也害怕得急步后退,但喬佛里節節進逼,把她逼到沒有退路的林邊。
Sansa didn't know what to do. She watched helplessly, almost blind from her tears.
珊莎不知如何是好,只能無助地在旁觀望,視線幾乎被淚水所掩蓋。
Then a grey blur flashed past her, and suddenly Nymeria was there, leaping, jaws closing around Joffrey's sword arm.
說時遲,那時快,一團灰影從她身邊閃過,下一刻娜梅莉亞已躍上喬佛里右手,張口便咬。
The steel fell from his fingers as the wolf knocked him off his feet, and they rolled in the grass, the wolf snarling and ripping at him, the prince shrieking in pain.
狼把人撲倒在地,他手一松劍便掉落,人和狼雙雙在草地上打滾,狼不停咆哮撕扯,王子則慘叫連連。
Get it off, he screamed. Get it off!
把它弄走!他尖叫道,快把它弄走!
Arya's voice cracked like a whip. Nymeria!
艾莉亞的聲音如鞭子劃空。娜梅莉亞!
The direwolf let go of Joffrey and moved to Arya's side. The prince lay in the grass, whimpering, cradling his mangled arm.
冰原狼立時放開喬佛里,跑到艾莉亞身邊。王子躺在草叢里,抱著受傷的手臂啜泣。

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。
