No dragon, Irri said. Brave men kill them, for dragon terrible evil beasts. It is known.
沒有龍了。伊麗說:勇者屠龍,因為龍是可怕的怪獸。大家都知道。
It is known, agreed Jhiqui.
大家都知道。姬琪表示同意。
A trader from Qarth once told me that dragons came from the moon, blond Doreah said as she warmed a towel over the fire.
有個魁爾斯商人跟我說龍是從月亮里鉆出來的。金發碧眼的多莉亞一邊在火爐上烘干毛巾一邊說。
Jhiqui and Irri were of an age with Dany, Dothraki girls taken as slaves when Drogo destroyed their father's khalasar.
姬琪和伊麗的年紀與丹妮差不多,她們都是在父親的卡拉薩被卓戈毀滅時被抓來當了奴隸。
Doreah was older, almost twenty. Magister Illyrio had found her in a pleasure house in Lys.
多莉亞年紀稍長,將近二十。伊利里歐總督是在里斯的一家妓院里找到她的。
Silvery-wet hair tumbled across her eyes as Dany turned her head, curious. The moon?
丹妮好奇地轉頭,濕濕的銀發飄揚在眼前。從月亮來的?
He told me the moon was an egg, Khaleesi, the Lysene girl said. Once there were two moons in the sky, but one wandered too close to the sun and cracked from the heat.
他告訴我月亮是顆蛋,卡麗熙。這位里斯女孩道,天上原本有兩個月亮,但其中一個運行得太靠近太陽,受不住高熱,就爆炸了。
A thousand thousand dragons poured forth, and drank the fire of the sun. That is why dragons breathe flame.
成千上萬只的龍從中涌出,吸收了太陽的火焰,這就是為什么龍會吐火。
One day the other moon will kiss the sun too, and then it will crack and the dragons will return.
有朝一日剩下的那個月亮也會親吻太陽,然后也會爆炸,龍便將重返人間。
The two Dothraki girls giggled and laughed. You are foolish straw head slave, Irri said. Moon is no egg. Moon is god, woman wife of sun. It is known.
兩個多斯拉克女孩吃吃嬌笑。你這個滿頭稻草的傻奴隸,伊麗說,月亮才不是什么蛋,月亮是女神,太陽的妻子,大家都知道。
It is known, Jhiqui agreed.
大家都知道。姬琪附和。
Dany's skin was flushed and pink when she climbed from the tub. Jhiqui laid her down to oil her body and scrape the dirt from her pores.
丹妮爬出浴盆時,全身皮膚透紅。姬琪要她躺下,為她周身抹油,并把她毛孔里的泥土刮干凈。
Afterward Irri sprinkled her with spice flower and cinnamon. While Doreah brushed her hair until it shone like spun silver, she thought about the moon, and eggs, and dragons.
之后伊麗幫她灑上香花和肉桂。多莉亞為她梳頭,把她的頭發梳得亮如銀線。其間,她一直在思索月亮、蛋和龍的事。

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。
