I hit him, she said, wonder in her voice. Now that it was over, it seemed like some strange dream that she had dreamed.
我剛打了他。她驚訝地說。現在回想起來，仿佛是一場怪夢。
Ser Jorah, do you think...he'll be so angry when he gets back...She shivered. I woke the dragon, didn't I?
喬拉爵士，你覺得…他回來的時候會不會很生氣？她顫抖著說，我喚醒了睡龍之怒，對不對？
Ser Jorah snorted. Can you wake the dead, girl? Your brother Rhaegar was the last dragon, and he died on the Trident. Viserys is less than the shadow of a snake.
喬拉爵士哼了一聲：孩子，你能叫醒死人嗎？你大哥雷加是最后的真龍傳人，而他已經死在三叉戟河畔。韋賽里斯連條蛇的影子都不如。
His blunt words startled her. It seemed as though all the things she had always believed were suddenly called into question. You...you swore him your sword.
他的直言不諱讓她大感震驚，仿佛一夕之間，她一直以來深信不疑的事情都變得不再明晰。可你…你不是宣誓為他效命嗎？
That I did, girl, Ser Jorah said. And if your brother is the shadow of a snake, what does that make his servants? His voice was bitter.
是啊，女孩。喬拉爵士道，那么假如你哥哥只是條蛇的影子，你覺得他的手下算什么呢？他語氣苦澀。
He is still the true king. He is...
可他畢竟是真正的國王，他是…
Jorah pulled up his horse and looked at her. Truth now. Would you want to see Viserys sit a throne?
喬拉拉住韁繩，看著她。說實話，你希望韋賽里斯登上王位？
Dany thought about that. He would not be a very good king, would he?
丹妮仔細想了想。他不會是個很好的國王，對吧？
There have been worse...but not many. The knight gave his heels to his mount and started off again.
有比他還差的國王……但也不多。騎士一夾馬肚，繼續前進。
Dany rode close beside him. Still, she said, the common people are waiting for him.
丹妮上前，和他并肩而行。不管怎么說，她道，可老百姓們還是等著他。
Magister Illyrio says they are sewing dragon banners and praying for Viserys to return from across the narrow sea to free them.
伊利里歐總督說他們正忙著縫制真龍旗幟，祈禱韋賽里斯早日率軍渡海解放他們。
The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends, Ser Jorah told her.
老百姓祈禱的是風調雨順、子女健康，以及永不結束的夏日。喬拉爵士告訴她，
It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. He gave a shrug. They never are.
只要他們能安居樂業，王公貴族要怎么玩權力游戲都沒關系。他聳聳肩。只是他們從來沒能如愿。
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。
