So I took his knight, but there was no joy to it, I tell you. I was scared all the while, and true enough, he found me. There was a brazier in the room. Gregor never said a word, just picked me up under his arm and shoved the side of my face down in the burning coals and held me there while I screamed and screamed. You saw how strong he is. Even then, it took three grown men to drag him off me. The septons preach about the seven hells. What do they know? Only a man who’s been burned knows what hell is truly like.
于是我把騎士據為己有，但我告訴你，偷來之后我一點都不快樂，我只是怕得要命。沒過多久，果真被他發現。房間里剛好有個火盆，格雷果二話不說把我拎起來，將我半邊臉就往炭堆里按，他就這樣緊緊按住，任由我慘叫不停。你也看到他有多壯，即使在當時，最后還得靠三個成年人才有辦法把他拉開。教士們成天說教七層地獄是如何可怕，他們懂個屁？只有被燒過的人才知道地獄是什么模樣。"
“My father told everyone my bedding had caught fire, and our maester gave me ointments. Ointments! Gregor got his ointments too. Four years later, they anointed him with the seven oils and he recited his knightly vows and Rhaegar Targaryen tapped him on the shoulder and said, ‘Arise, Ser Gregor.’ ”
"我爸對別人說是我床單著了火，然后我們家師傅給我抹了油膏。油膏！格雷果也抹了油膏。四年之后他們為他涂抹七神圣油，他跟著背誦了騎士的誓詞，雷加·坦格利安便拿劍拍拍他肩膀說'起來吧，格雷果爵士。'"
The rasping voice trailed off. He squatted silently before her, a hulking black shape shrouded in the night, hidden from her eyes. Sansa could hear his ragged breathing. She was sad for him, she realized. Somehow, the fear had gone away.
黯啞的聲音漸漸淡去。他靜靜地蹲坐她面前，如同暗夜中矗立的龐然巨物，而她什么也看不清。珊莎可以聽見他急促的呼吸，突然發覺自己正為他感到悲傷。最初的恐懼不知怎么，已經消失無蹤。
The silence went on and on, so long that she began to grow afraid once more, but she was afraid for him now, not for herself.
沉默持續下去，到后來她又害怕起來，然而這次她不是為自己，而是為了他。她伸手找到他寬闊的肩膀。"他不是真正的騎士。"她悄聲對他說。
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。
