Catelyn slid her fingers from his grasp. I thank you, my lord, but my own Maester Luwin has already seen to my hurts.
凱特琳從他掌心抽回手,伯爵大人,感謝您的美意,不過我這傷口已經讓家里的魯溫師傅處理過了。
Varys bobbed his head. I was grievous sad to hear about your son. And him so young. The gods are cruel.
瓦里斯低頭道:您公子的事,我深感遺憾。一想到他小小年紀,就覺得天上諸神真是殘酷。
On that we agree, Lord Varys, she said. The title was but a courtesy due him as a council member;
瓦里斯伯爵,我們總算有點共識。她說。瓦里斯的伯爵頭銜只是虛位,這也是為了顧及他朝廷重臣的身份,
Varys was lord of nothing but the spiderweb, the master of none but his whisperers.
其實瓦里斯根本不是任何封邑的領主,他統御的不過是手下那批眼線。
The eunuch spread his soft hands. On more than that, I hope, sweet lady.
太監把手軟軟地一攤。好夫人,相信我們不只是有這點共識。
I have great esteem for your husband, our new Hand, and I know we do both love King Robert.
我對您丈夫,也就是咱們新任首相,懷著極高的敬意,同時我也知道我們大家都非常愛戴勞勃國王。
Yes, she was forced to say. For a certainty.
是的,她不得不說,毫無疑問。
Never has a king been so beloved as our Robert, quipped Littlefinger. He smiled slyly. At least in Lord Varys's hearing.
要找咱們勞勃這么受愛戴的國王,恐怕很難啰。小指頭露出促狹的微笑,酸溜溜地說,最起碼瓦里斯大人聽到是這樣。
Good lady, Varys said with great solicitude. There are men in the Free Cities with wondrous healing powers.
好夫人,瓦里斯憂心忡忡地道,自由貿易城邦有不少精通醫術的奇人異士。
Say only the word, and I will send for one for your dear Bran.
只消您點個頭,我即刻去找這樣的人來醫治您的小布蘭。
Maester Luwin is doing all that can be done for Bran, she told him. She would not speak of Bran, not here, not with these men.
能做的魯溫師傅都做了。她告訴他。此時此地她不愿談布蘭的事,尤其是和這些人。
She trusted Littlefinger only a little, and Varys not at all. She would not let them see her grief.
她不太信任小指頭,更何況瓦里斯。她絕不能讓他們看見她悲傷的模樣。
Lord Baelish tells me that I have you to thank for bringing me here.
貝里席大人剛才告訴我,我現在能在這里,全都要歸功于您。
Varys giggled like a little girl. Oh, yes. I suppose I am guilty. I hope you forgive me, kind lady.
瓦里斯像個小女孩般咯咯直笑。呵呵,可不是嘛。我看我是難辭其咎了,好心的夫人,希望您原諒我吧。

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。
