Lysa whirled, her heavy robe swirling around her. Robert Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie, stood in the doorway, clutching a ragged cloth doll and looking at them with large eyes.
萊莎旋身，厚重的長袍也跟著轉圈。鷹巢城公爵勞勃·艾林站在門邊，抱著一個破爛的布偶，睜大雙眼看著她們。
He was a painfully thin child, small for his age and sickly all his days, and from time to time he trembled. The shaking sickness, the maesters called it. I heard voices.
這孩子瘦得可憐，個子比同年齡的孩子都要小，一張病懨懨的臉，還不時顫抖。她知道，學士管這種病叫癲癇。我聽見說話的聲音了。
Small wonder, Catelyn thought; Lysa had almost been shouting. Still, her sister looked daggers at her.
這也難怪，凱特琳心想，因為萊莎剛才幾乎就是在吼。妹妹看她的眼神依舊銳利如刀。
This is your aunt Catelyn, baby. My sister, Lady Stark. Do you remember?
小寶貝，這是你凱特琳阿姨。她是我姐姐，史塔克夫人，你還記得嗎？
The boy glanced at her blankly. I think so, he said, blinking, though he had been less than a year old the last time Catelyn had seen him.
小男孩一臉茫然地看著她。好像記得。他眨著眼說。凱特琳上次見他時，他還未滿周歲。
Lysa seated herself near the fire and said, Come to Mother, my sweet one. She straightened his bedclothes and fussed with his fine brown hair. Isn't he beautiful?
萊莎在火爐邊坐下。小親親，到媽咪這兒來。她整整他的睡衣，撥撥他的頭發(fā)。你看他漂不漂亮？
And strong too, don't you believe the things you hear. Jon knew. The seed is strong, he told me. His last words.
其實他也很強壯，你別聽信外邊的傳言。瓊恩很清楚，他親口對我說種性強韌，這是他的臨終遺言。
He kept saying Robert's name, and he grabbed my arm so hard he left marks. Tell them, the seed is strong. His seed.
他一直念叨著勞勃的名字，用力抓我的手，直到留下血痕。他是要我告訴他們，種性強韌，這是他的種，
He wanted everyone to know what a good strong boy my baby was going to be.
他要大家都知道我的小寶貝長大之后會變成個強壯的男子漢。
Lysa, Catelyn said, if you're right about the Lannisters, all the more reason we must act quickly. We...
萊莎，凱特琳道，如果關于蘭尼斯特家的情況屬實，那我們應該趕緊采取行動。我們—
Not in front of the baby, Lysa said. He has a delicate temper, don't you, sweet one?
不要在我寶貝面前談這些。萊莎說，他的脾氣很纖細，對不對啊，小親親？
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(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注點，描寫細膩豐富，突破了幻想文學界固有的創(chuàng)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(fā)展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學的創(chuàng)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(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。
