Rodrik Cassel nodded. Your lady awaits you upstairs.
羅德利克爵士點點頭。夫人在樓上等您。
Ned was lost. Catelyn is truly here? This is not some strange jape of Littlefinger's? He sheathed his blade.
奈德糊涂了。凱特琳真的在這里?不是小指頭的惡作劇?他收起武器。
Would that it were, Stark, Littlefinger said. Follow me, and try to look a shade more lecherous and a shade less like the King's Hand.
我有那本事倒好,史塔克。小指頭道,隨我來罷。還有,臉上表情露骨一點,不要一副正襟危坐的首相模樣。
It would not do to have you recognized. Perhaps you could fondle a breast or two, just in passing.
你要是被認出來,那可就糟了。不介意的話,經過時摸兩把奶子。
They went inside, through a crowded common room where a fat woman was singing bawdy songs while pretty young girls in linen shifts
他們走進屋內,穿過擁擠的大廳,有個胖女人正唱著歌詞淫穢的曲子,
and wisps of colored silk pressed themselves against their lovers and dandled on their laps. No one paid Ned the least bit of attention.
身穿輕薄羅衫的美少女坐在恩客腿上撒嬌。沒人理會奈德。
Ser Rodrik waited below while Littlefinger led him up to the third floor, along a corridor, and through a door.
羅德利克爵士等在樓下,由小指頭領他走上三樓,穿過回廊,進了門。
Inside, Catelyn was waiting. She cried out when she saw him, ran to him, and embraced him fiercely.
凱特琳正在里面,她一見他便叫出聲來,朝他飛奔過去,緊緊地抱住他。
My lady, Ned whispered in wonderment.
夫人。奈德驚訝地輕聲說。
Oh, very good, said Littlefinger, closing the door. You recognized her.
喲,好極了。小指頭說著關上門。您認得她。
I feared you'd never come, my lord, she whispered against his chest.
大人,我好怕你不會來。她貼在他胸膛上細語。
Petyr has been bringing me reports. He told me of your troubles with Arya and the young prince. How are my girls?
培提爾一直捎來你的消息。他告訴我艾莉亞和年輕王子的事了。我的乖女兒們都還好么?
Both in mourning, and full of anger, he told her. Cat, I do not understand.
她倆都很難過,也很憤怒。他對她說,凱特,我不懂。
What are you doing in King's Landing? What's happened? Ned asked his wife. Is it Bran? Is he?Dead was the word that came to his lips, but he could not say it.
你來君臨做什么?發生了什么事?奈德詢問妻子。是布蘭的事?難道他……死這個字幾乎就要脫口而出,但他無法啟齒。

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。
