For a certainty, Ned said, and Ser Barristan Selmy bowed his head in silent accord.
可想而知。奈德道。巴利斯坦·賽爾彌爵士靜靜地點頭同意。
For a moment Robert was so angry he could not speak. He strode across the tent, whirled, strode back, his face dark and angry. He snatched up his breastplate from the ground and threw it at Barristan Selmy in a wordless fury. Selmy dodged. Get out, the king said then, coldly. Get out before I kill you.
有好一陣子，勞勃氣得說不出話。他從帳篷的這邊走到那邊，旋身，又走回來，一臉陰沉的怒氣。隨即他從地上抓起胸甲，氣沖沖地朝巴利斯坦擲去。賽爾彌躲開了。出去，這時國王才冷冷地發話，免得我宰了你。
Ser Barristan left quickly. Ned was about to follow when the king called out again. Not you, Ned.
巴利斯坦爵士立刻離開，奈德正準備跟進，國王卻又叫道：奈德，你不用走。
Ned turned back. Robert took up his horn again, filled it with beer from a barrel in the corner, and thrust it at Ned. Drink, he said brusquely.
奈德轉身，只見勞勃再度拿起他的角杯，從角落里的酒桶裝滿啤酒，然后塞給奈德。喝吧。他唐突地說。
I've no thirst...
我不渴—
Drink. Your king commands it.
快喝。這是國王的命令。
Ned took the horn and drank. The beer was black and thick, so strong it stung the eyes.
于是奈德接過角杯喝了下去，啤酒又黑又濃，濃烈得令眼睛刺痛。
Robert sat down again. Damn you, Ned Stark. You and Jon Arryn, I loved you both. What have you done to me? You were the one should have been king, you or Jon.
勞勃又坐下來。去你的，奈德·史塔克。你和瓊恩·艾林，我這么愛你們，結果你們是怎么對我的？你或瓊恩才應該來當國王。
You had the better claim, Your Grace.
陛下，您名正言順，最有資格稱王。
I told you to drink, not to argue. You made me king, you could at least have the courtesy to listen when I talk, damn you. Look at me, Ned. Look at what kinging has done to me. Gods, too fat for my armor, how did it ever come to this?
我叫你喝酒，沒叫你頂嘴。媽的，你既然讓我做了國王，好歹我說話的時候專心聽行吧。奈德，你看看我，看看我當了國王之后變成什么樣子。諸神在上，我竟然胖得穿不下自己的鎧甲，怎么會搞成這樣？
Robert?
勞勃…
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。
