Catelyn wanted to slap her. Uncle Brynden had tried to warn her, she realized. No castle is impregnable.
凱特琳有種想甩她耳光的沖動。布林登叔叔試圖警告她,她這才明白原因何在。世上沒有攻不破的城堡。
This one is, Lysa insisted. Everyone says so. The only thing is, what am I to do with this Imp you have brought me?
這座城堡就攻不破。萊莎堅持,而且每個人都知道。現在惟一的問題是,我該怎么處置你帶來的這個小惡魔?
Is he a bad man? the Lord of the Eyrie asked, his mother's breast popping from his mouth, the nipple wet and red.
他是壞人嗎?鷹巢城主松開口中紅潤潮濕的乳頭問。
A very bad man, Lysa told him as she covered herself, but Mother won't let him harm my little baby.
他是個非常非常壞的人。萊莎告訴他,一邊穿好衣服。但是媽咪不會讓他欺負我的小親親。
Make him fly, Robert said eagerly.
讓他飛。勞勃急切地說。
Lysa stroked her son's hair. Perhaps we will, she murmured. Perhaps that is just what we will do.
萊莎搓搓兒子的頭發。這主意不錯,她喃喃道,這主意的確不錯。
He found Littlefinger in the brothel's common room, chatting amiably with a tall, elegant woman who wore a feathered gown over skin as black as ink.
他在妓院的前廳找到小指頭,發現他正與一位身材高挑、舉止優雅、全身黑如墨汁、穿著羽飾禮服的女士親切交談。
By the hearth, Heward and a buxom wench were playing at forfeits.
火爐邊,海華則和一位體態豐滿的少女玩著猜瓦片的游戲。
From the look of it, he'd lost his belt, his cloak, his mail shirt, and his right boot so far, while the girl had been forced to unbutton her shift to the waist.
到目前為止,他已經輸掉了皮帶、披風、鎖子甲和右腳的靴子,女孩則被迫從胸口一直解開到腰部的衣扣。
Jory Cassel stood beside a rain-streaked window with a wry smile on his face, watching Heward turn over tiles and enjoying the view.
喬里·凱索站在一扇滴雨如注的窗邊,臉上掛著嘲弄的微笑,饒有興味地看著海華輸掉一件又一件衣服。
Ned paused at the foot of the stair and pulled on his gloves. It's time we took our leave. My business here is done.
奈德停在樓梯口,戴上手套。我的事已經辦完,我們該走了。

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。
