Now everybody heard him. “No,” he thundered in a voice that drowned out all other speech. Sansa was shocked to see the king on his feet, red of face, reeling. He had a goblet of wine in one hand, and he was drunk as a man could be. “You do not tell me what to do, woman,” he screamed at Queen Cersei. “I am king here, do you understand? I rule here, and if I say that I will fight tomorrow, I will fight!”
這下每個人都聽清楚了。"給我閉嘴，"他聲如洪鐘地大喝，壓過了在場所有人的話音。珊莎訝異地發現國王身形蹣跚，滿臉通紅地站了起來，一手拿著一只高腳杯，醉得無以復加。"臭女人，休想管我做這做那，"他朝瑟曦王后尖叫，"我才是這里的國王，你懂不懂？這里是老子當家，老子說明天要打，就是要打！"
Everyone was staring. Sansa saw Ser Barristan, and the king's brother Renly, and the short man who had talked to her so oddly and touched her hair, but no one made a move to interfere. The queen's face was a mask, so bloodless that it might have been sculpted from snow. She rose from the table, gathered her skirts around her, and stormed off in silence, servants trailing behind.
每個人都目瞪口呆。珊莎看到巴利斯坦爵士，國王的弟弟藍禮，還有稍早神態古怪地跟她說過話，還伸手摸她頭發的矮個男子，然而沒有人出面干涉。王后的臉全無血色，像副白雪雕成的面具。她從桌邊站起，拉著裙子，一言不發地扭頭便走，仆從們急忙跟過去。
Jaime Lannister put a hand on the king's shoulder, but the king shoved him away hard. Lannister stumbled and fell. The king guffawed. “The great knight. I can still knock you in the dirt. Remember that, Kingslayer.” He slapped his chest with the jeweled goblet, splashing wine all over his satin tunic. “Give me my hammer and not a man in the realm can stand before me!”
詹姆·蘭尼斯特伸手按住國王肩膀，但國王猛地把他甩開。蘭尼斯特一個踉蹌跌倒在地。國王狂笑道："好個偉大的騎士！老子還是有辦法叫你狗吃屎。記清楚啦，'弒君者'."他拿鑲了珠寶的高腳杯敲敲胸膛，整件緞子外衣都灑上了葡萄酒。"只要我戰錘在手，任誰也擋不住！"
Jaime Lannister rose and brushed himself off. “As you say, Your Grace.” His voice was stiff.
詹姆·蘭尼斯特爬起來，拍拍塵土， "是的，國王陛下，"他口氣僵硬地說。
Lord Renly came forward, smiling. “You've spilled your wine, Robert. Let me bring you a fresh goblet.”
藍禮公爵笑盈盈地走上前。"勞勃，你把酒灑出來了，我幫你倒杯新的吧。"
