You gave me help when I needed it, Jon Snow said.
你在我最需要的時候幫了我一把。瓊恩·雪諾道。
I gave you nothing, Tyrion said. Words.
我什么也沒給你，提利昂說，只是幾句廢話。
Then give your words to Bran too.
那就對布蘭也講幾句罷。
You're asking a lame man to teach a cripple how to dance, Tyrion said. However sincere the lesson, the result is likely to be grotesque.
你這分明是叫瘸子教殘廢跳舞，提利昂說，無論教得再好，只會慘不忍睹。
Still, I know what it is to love a brother, Lord Snow. I will give Bran whatever small help is in my power.
但我也懂得手足之情，雪諾大人。我會盡我所能幫助布蘭。
Thank you, my lord of Lannister. He pulled off his glove and offered his bare hand. Friend.
謝謝你，蘭尼斯特大人。他脫下手套，伸出手，好朋友。
Tyrion found himself oddly touched. Most of my kin are bastards, he said with a wry smile, but you're the first I've had to friend.
提利昂發現自己竟意外地大受感動。我的親戚多半是些王八蛋，他咧嘴笑道，而你是第一個跟我做朋友的人。
He pulled a glove off with his teeth and clasped Snow by the hand, flesh against flesh. The boy's grip was firm and strong.
他用牙齒咬住手套脫下來，然后握住雪諾的手，肉貼著肉。男孩握得堅定而有力。
When he had donned his glove again, Jon Snow turned abruptly and walked to the low, icy northern parapet.
等瓊恩·雪諾重新戴上手套，他突然轉身走到北面冰冷的低矮城垛邊。
Beyond him the Wall fell away sharply; beyond him there was only the darkness and the wild. Tyrion followed him, and side by side they stood upon the edge of the world.
城墻以外高度驟降，只剩一片暗黝寒荒。提利昂跟了過去，兩人便這么肩并肩站在世界的盡頭。
The Night's Watch permitted the forest to come no closer than half a mile of the north face of the Wall.
守夜人軍團絕不讓森林延伸到長城以北半里之內，
The thickets of ironwood and sentinel and oak that had once grown there had been harvested centuries ago, to create a broad swath of open ground through which no enemy could hope to pass unseen.
原本生在這范圍內的鐵樹、哨兵樹和橡樹，早在幾百年前便被砍伐干凈，辟出一塊開闊的空地，如此一來，任何敵人都不可能在不被發現的情況下前來進犯。
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。
