It was very dark right now, she realized. She hugged her bare knees tight against her chest and shivered. She would wait quietly and count to ten thousand. By then it would be safe for her to come creeping back out and find her way home.
她發(fā)覺這里也很暗，于是縮起裸露的膝蓋，緊緊抱在胸前，發(fā)起抖來。她決定在這里默默數(shù)到一萬，等那時候就可以安全地爬出去，找路回家了。
By the time she had reached eighty-seven, the room had begun to lighten as her eyes adjusted to the blackness. Slowly the shapes around her took on form. Huge empty eyes stared at her hungrily through the gloom, and dimly she saw the jagged shadows of long teeth. She had lost the count. She closed her eyes and bit her lip and sent the fear away. When she looked again, the monsters would be gone. Would never have been. She pretended that Syrio was beside her in the dark, whispering in her ear. Calm as still water, she told herself. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. She opened her eyes again.
當(dāng)她數(shù)到八十七的時候，眼睛已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了黑暗，房間也似乎逐漸亮起來，身邊的事物緩緩現(xiàn)形。昏暗之中，無數(shù)巨大而空洞的眼睛饑渴地瞪著她。她隱約看到長牙的鋸齒陰影。她頓時忘了數(shù)到哪里，只敢閉上眼睛，咬住嘴唇，驅(qū)趕恐懼。等她睜眼再看，怪獸就會不見。怪獸會不存在。她假裝西利歐也在黑暗中，陪在她身邊，對她悄聲說話。止如水，她告訴自己，壯如熊，猛如狼，然后睜開眼睛。
The monsters were still there, but the fear was gone.
怪獸還在，恐懼卻消失了。
Arya got to her feet, moving warily. The heads were all around her. She touched one, curious, wondering if it was real. Her fingertips brushed a massive jaw. It felt real enough. The bone was smooth beneath her hand, cold and hard to the touch. She ran her fingers down a tooth, black and sharp, a dagger made of darkness.It made her shiver.
艾莉亞小心翼翼地站起來。四周都是頭骨，她好奇地摸摸其中一個，不知到底是不是真的。她的指尖拂過一個寬大的下巴，摸起來挺像真的。骨頭的感覺很平滑，既冷且硬。她的手指摸到一顆牙齒，又黑又尖，活像是由黑暗所造的匕首，她不禁打了個寒顫。
背景介紹:
《權(quán)力的游戲》是一部中世紀(jì)史詩奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)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(chǔ)改編創(chuàng)作，由大衛(wèi)·貝尼奧夫和丹尼爾·威斯編劇、HBO電視網(wǎng)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(guān)注點，描寫細(xì)膩豐富，突破了幻想文學(xué)界固有的創(chuàng)作模式，多次引領(lǐng)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(jì)的海明威。從1989年開始，馬丁淡出文學(xué)界，轉(zhuǎn)而投身演藝界發(fā)展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學(xué)的創(chuàng)作，處女作便是《權(quán)力的游戲》，即為《冰與火之歌》的首部曲。《權(quán)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(jīng)可以和《魔戒》平起平坐，作者網(wǎng)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。
