Bring him in, damn it. There was a grunt and a loud groaning of wood as the cage slid sideways and then the Wall was beneath him.
讓他進來罷，天殺的。鐵籠開始朝長城平移，木頭嘎吱作響，發出痛苦的呻吟。
Tyrion waited until the swinging had stopped before he pushed open the cage door and hopped down onto the ice.
提利昂直等鐵籠停止晃動方才打開閘門，跳到結冰的地面。
A heavy figure in black was leaning on the winch, while a second held the cage with a gloved hand.
一個體格魁梧的黑衣人正靠在絞盤上，另一個則戴著手套托住鐵籠。
Their faces were muffled in woolen scarves so only their eyes showed, and they were plump with layers of wool and leather, black on black.
他們用羊毛圍巾裹住臉，所以只看得到眼睛。由于穿了好幾層黑羊毛和皮革，看起來相當肥胖。
And what will you be wanting, this time of night? the one by the winch asked.
三更半夜的，你跑來這干啥？站在絞盤邊的人問。
A last look.
來看最后一眼。
The men exchanged sour glances. Look all you want, the other one said.
兩人無奈地對視一眼。小個子，愛怎么看隨你。另一人道，
Just have a care you don't fall off, little man. The Old Bear would have our hides.
只要別摔下去就成，不然熊老非把咱倆皮扒了不可。
A small wooden shack stood under the great crane,
起重機下有座木造小屋，
and Tyrion saw the dull glow of a brazier and felt a brief gust of warmth when the winch men opened the door and went back inside. And then he was alone.
當那個拉絞盤的人開門進去時，提利昂隱約看到里面傳出火盆陰暗的光亮，感到些微的暖意，然后便只剩下他孤零零一個人。
It was bitingly cold up here, and the wind pulled at his clothes like an insistent lover.
冷得刺骨，風像急切的情人般撕扯他的衣服。
The top of the Wall was wider than the kingsroad often was, so Tyrion had no fear of falling, although the footing was slicker than he would have liked.
長城比此地的國王大道還要寬敞，所以提利昂無須擔心失足墜落，可地表的確太滑。
The brothers spread crushed stone across the walkways, but the weight of countless footsteps would melt the Wall beneath,
黑衣弟兄們在通道上鋪滿了碎石，但長時間的踩踏早已磨平了地面，
so the ice would seem to grow around the gravel, swallowing it, until the path was bare again and it was time to crush more stone.
于是冰漸漸填滿砂礫間的縫隙，吞噬了碎石。等到通道被再度磨平，又得重新鋪上碎石。
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。
