Scarlet-tinged spittle flew from the fat innkeep's mouth as she begged of Catelyn Stark, Don't kill him here!
胖老板娘向凱特琳·史塔克苦苦哀求，嘴里噴出一串腥紅的唾沫：別在這兒殺他！
Don't kill him anywhere, Tyrion urged.
到哪兒都別殺他。提利昂提議。
Take him somewheres else, no blood here, m'lady, I wants no high lordlin's quarrels.
夫人，要殺也請您到別的地方殺，別把我這兒弄得到處是血，我不想惹上官家的麻煩事兒啊。
We are taking him back to Winterfell, she said, and Tyrion thought, Well, perhaps.By then he'd had a moment to glance over the room and get a better idea of the situation. He was not altogether displeased by what he saw. Oh, the Stark woman had been clever, no doubt of it. Force them to make a public affirmation of the oaths sworn her father by the lords they served, and then call on them for succor, and her a woman, yes, that was sweet. Yet her success was not as complete as she might have liked. There were close to fifty in the common room by his rough count. Catelyn Stark's plea had roused a bare dozen; the others looked confused, or frightened, or sullen. Only two of the Freys had stirred, Tyrion noted, and they'd sat back down quick enough when their captain failed to move. He might have smiled if he'd dared.
我們要把他帶回臨冬城去。她說，提利昂聽了心想：要是這樣的話，或許…當時他已趁短暫余暇環顧四周，對當下情形更有掌握。眼前所見不至于讓他絕望。噢，那史塔克女人反應倒是機敏，這無庸置疑。她先逼他們公開承認自家主子對她父親的誓約，然后再請他們拔刀相助，何況她又是區區一個弱女子。沒錯，這招厲害。然而她也沒有贏得太徹底。據他約略估算，飯廳里將近有五十個人。凱特琳·史塔克不過說動了十來個，其他人有的困惑，有的害怕，還有的冷漠。提利昂注意到，佛雷家那群人只有兩個準備響應，而他們眼看帶頭的沒動靜，便又很快坐回去了。若不是不敢，否則他還真想偷笑。
Winterfell it is, then, he said instead. That was a long ride, as he could well attest, having just ridden it the other way. So many things could happen along the way. My father will wonder what has become of me, he added, catching the eye of the swordsman who'd offered to yield up his room. He'll pay a handsome reward to any man who brings him word of what happened here today.
臨冬城，去就去。他說。這會是趟漫長的旅途，他自己剛從反方向走來，有著切身的體會。誰也說不準途中會有什么變數。不過我不告而別，我老爸可能會擔心我，他補充道，一邊看著剛才那個自愿把房間讓給他的流浪劍客。誰把今天發生的事告訴他，他定將重重賞賜。
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。
