It seemed as though he had been falling for years.
他不斷下墜，仿佛經(jīng)過了好多好多年。
Fly, a voice whispered in the darkness, but Bran did not know how to fly, so all he could do was fall.
快飛吧，一個(gè)聲音在黑暗中低語(yǔ)，然而布蘭不知該怎么飛，所以只好繼續(xù)不斷墜落。
Maester Luwin made a little boy of clay, baked him till he was hard and brittle, dressed him in Bran's clothes,
魯溫師傅曾經(jīng)捏制了一個(gè)陶土娃娃，燒烤得又硬又脆，為它穿上布蘭的衣服，
and flung him off a roof. Bran remembered the way he shattered. But I never fall, he said, falling.
然后從城樓上扔下去。布蘭一直記得陶土娃娃摔得粉身碎骨的模樣。但我絕對(duì)不會(huì)摔下去。他說(shuō)，然后繼續(xù)往下墜。
The ground was so far below him he could barely make it out through the grey mists that whirled around him,
雖然四周都是灰蒙蒙的霧氣，看不清地面究竟有多遠(yuǎn)，
but he could feel how fast he was falling, and he knew what was waiting for him down there. Even in dreams, you could not fall forever.
但他可以感覺到自己掉落的速度有多快，也知道下面等著自己的是什么。即便在夢(mèng)中，你也不可能永無(wú)止盡地這么一直掉下去。
He would wake up in the instant before he hit the ground, he knew. You always woke up in the instant before you hit the ground.
他知道，他會(huì)在落地前的一剎那醒來(lái)，人總是在落地前的一剎那醒來(lái)的。
And if you don't? the voice asked.
那要是你醒不來(lái)呢？那個(gè)聲音問。
The ground was closer now, still far far away, a thousand miles away, but closer than it had been. It was cold here in the darkness.
地面變得更近，雖然依舊遙遙無(wú)期，相距千里，但總是近了些。
There was no sun, no stars, only the ground below coming up to smash him, and the grey mists, and the whispering voice. He wanted to cry.
置身半空又暗又冷，沒有太陽(yáng)，沒有星辰，只有迎面撲來(lái)的大地和灰霧，還有這陌生的細(xì)語(yǔ)。他好想哭。
Not cry. Fly.
不要哭，飛。
I can't fly, Bran said. I can't, I can't.
我不會(huì)飛，布蘭說(shuō)，不會(huì)，不會(huì)啊…
How do you know? Have you ever tried?
你怎么知道？你試過嗎？
The voice was high and thin. Bran looked around to see where it was coming from. A crow was spiraling down with him, just out of reach, following him as he fell.
那聲音高亢而尖細(xì)，布蘭環(huán)顧四周想找出聲音的來(lái)源。他見到一只烏鴉正隨著他盤旋直落，但保持在他夠不到的距離外。
Help me, he said.
救救我。他說(shuō)。
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。《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(shí)代雜志評(píng)選為2011年影響世界的一百人之一。
