Ser Rodrik cleared his throat. Lord Baelish once, ah. His thought trailed off uncertainly in search of the polite word.
羅德利克爵士清清喉嚨。貝里席大人以前是,呃…他結結巴巴,試圖找出比較禮貌的用詞。
Catelyn was past delicacy. He was my father's ward. We grew up together in Riverrun.
凱特琳顧不得什么稱謂。他是我父親的養子,我們在奔流城一起長大。
I thought of him as a brother, but his feelings for me were more than brotherly.
我視他為兄弟,但他卻……不只把我當成姐妹。
When it was announced that I was to wed Brandon Stark, Petyr challenged for the right to my hand.
當我和布蘭登·史塔克將要成親的消息宣布時,他要求決斗,勝者才能娶我為妻。
It was madness. Brandon was twenty, Petyr scarcely fifteen. I had to beg Brandon to spare Petyr's life.
那根本就是瘋狂之舉,布蘭登當時已經二十歲,培提爾才不過十五。
He let him off with a scar. Afterward my father sent him away. I have not seen him since.
我求布蘭登放他一馬,結果他只在他身上留了個疤。事后我父親把他送走,我至今沒和他再見面。
She lifted her face to the spray, as if the brisk wind could blow the memories away.
她抬臉面向浪花,仿佛輕快的海風可以吹走回憶。
He wrote to me at Riverrun after Brandon was killed, but I burned the letter unread. By then I knew that Ned would marry me in his brother's place.
布蘭登死后,他寄信到奔流城給我,但我沒拆就通通燒掉。因為那時候,我已經知道奈德會代替他哥哥娶我為妻。
Ser Rodrik's fingers fumbled once again for nonexistent whiskers. Little finger sits on the small council now.
羅德利克爵士伸手想摸胡子,又撲了個空?!⌒≈割^如今是御前會議的成員。
I knew he would rise high, Catelyn said.
我早知道他會大有發展。凱特琳說,
He was always clever, even as a boy, but it is one thing to be clever and another to be wise. I wonder what the years have done to him.
他打小就很機靈。可機靈和睿智是兩回事,真不知道這些年他有多大改變。
High overhead, the far-eyes sang out from the rigging.
頭頂的瞭望員從繩索上高聲呼喝,
Captain Moreo came scrambling across the deck, giving orders,
莫里歐船長在甲板上來回走動下達命令,
and all around them the Storm Dancer burst into frenetic activity as King's Landing slid into view atop its three high hills.
隨著位于三座丘陵之上的都城君臨映入眼簾,整個暴風舞者號立刻陷入一片忙亂的活動中。

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?!稒嗔Φ挠螒颉犯Τ霰隳孟铝薆ritish 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。
