For a moment she was afraid to touch it, afraid that if she reached for it it would be snatched away again,

but then her father said, Go on, it's yours, and she took it in her hand.
只聽父親說：拿啊，這是你的了。她這才伸手接過。
I can keep it? she said. For true?
我可以留著嗎？她問。真的嗎？
For true. He smiled. If I took it away, no doubt I'd find a morningstar hidden under your pillow within the fortnight.
真的。他微笑著說。我要是把它給拿走了，只怕沒兩個(gè)星期就會(huì)在你枕頭下找到流星錘罷。
Try not to stab your sister, whatever the provocation.
算啦，無論你多生氣，別拿劍刺你姐姐就好。
I won't. I promise. Arya clutched Needle tightly to her chest as her father took his leave.

A slight man with a bald head and a great beak of a nose stepped out of the shadows, holding a pair of slender wooden swords.
然后一個(gè)身形清癯，生著鷹鉤大鼻的光頭男子從陰影里走出來，手里握著一對細(xì)細(xì)的木劍。
Tomorrow you will be here at midday. He had an accent, the lilt of the Free Cities, Bravos perhaps, or Myr.
從明天起你正午就必須到。他說話帶著口音，像是自由貿(mào)易城邦的腔調(diào)，可能是布拉佛斯，或是密爾。
Who are you? Arya asked.
你是誰？艾莉亞問。
背景介紹:
《權(quán)力的游戲》是一部中世紀(jì)史詩奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)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(chǔ)改編創(chuàng)作，由大衛(wèi)·貝尼奧夫和丹尼爾·威斯編劇、HBO電視網(wǎng)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(guān)注點(diǎn)，描寫細(xì)膩豐富，突破了幻想文學(xué)界固有的創(chuàng)作模式，多次引領(lǐng)閱讀潮流。由于馬丁的輝煌成就，他被譽(yù)為美國的托爾金和新世紀(jì)的海明威。從1989年開始，馬丁淡出文學(xué)界，轉(zhuǎn)而投身演藝界發(fā)展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學(xué)的創(chuàng)作，處女作便是《權(quán)力的游戲》，即為《冰與火之歌》的首部曲。《權(quán)力的游戲》甫出便拿下了British Fantasy Society、 世界奇幻獎(jiǎng)和星云獎(jiǎng)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(jīng)可以和《魔戒》平起平坐，作者網(wǎng)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(shí)代雜志評(píng)選為2011年影響世界的一百人之一。
