Septa Mordane spoke up. Princess Myrcella will be there, my lord, and her younger than Lady Sansa.
茉丹修女開口：老爺，屆時彌賽 公主也會出席，而她年紀比珊莎小姐還小。
All the ladies of the court will be expected at a grand event like this, and as the tourney is in your honor, it would look queer if your family did not attend.
遇到這種盛事，宮廷里的仕女們都應該出席。更何況這屆比武大會以您之名舉辦的，您的家人若不到場，可能有些不妥。
Father looked pained. I suppose so. Very well, I shall arrange a place for you, Sansa. He saw Arya. For both of you.
父親神色痛苦。我想也是。也罷，珊莎，我就幫你安排個席位。他看看艾莉亞。幫你們兩個都弄個席位。
I don't care about their stupid tourney, Arya said. She knew Prince Joffrey would be there, and she hated Prince Joffrey.
我才沒興趣參加什么無聊的比武會呢。艾莉亞說。她知道喬佛里王子到時候一定也在場，而她恨死喬佛里王子了。
Sansa lifted her head. It will be a splendid event. You shan't be wanted.
珊莎昂頭道：這會是一場盛況空前的慶祝。本來也沒人希望你參加。
Anger flashed across Father's face. Enough, Sansa. More of that and you will change my mind.
父親聽了滿臉怒容。夠了，珊莎。再說下去，小心我改變主意。
I am weary unto death of this endless war you two are fighting. You are sisters. I expect you to behave like sisters, is that understood?
我已經被你們倆沒完沒了的爭吵給煩死了。再怎么說你們都是親姐妹，我希望你們像姐妹一樣相親相愛，知道了么？
Sansa bit her lip and nodded. Arya lowered her face to stare sullenly at her plate.
珊莎咬著嘴唇點點頭，艾莉亞低頭不快地盯著眼前的餐盤，
She could feel tears stinging her eyes. She rubbed them away angrily, determined not to cry.
感覺到淚水刺痛眼睛。她憤怒地抹掉眼淚，決心不要哭。
The only sound was the clatter of knives and forks. Pray excuse me, her father announced to the table.
四周只剩下刀叉碰觸的聲音。很抱歉，父親對全桌的人說，
I find I have small appetite tonight. He walked from the hall.
今晚我沒什么胃口。說完他便走出小廳。
After he was gone, Sansa exchanged excited whispers with Jeyne Poole. Down the table Jory laughed at a joke, and Hullen started in about h orseflesh.
他離開之后，珊莎立刻興奮地和珍妮·普爾竊竊私語起來。坐在長桌彼端的喬里有說有笑，胡倫也開始大談馬經。
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。
