Littlefinger did not need to be urged. I will bring the City Watch, he promised Ned.
小指頭無需催促。我這就去找都城守衛隊。他向奈德保證。
The Lannister line parted to let him through, and closed behind him. Littlefinger put his heels to his mare and vanished around a corner.
蘭尼斯特家的士兵向外站開,之后又復成包圍陣形。小指頭一踢馬肚,騎著母馬消失在街角。
Ned's men had drawn their swords, but they were three against twenty.
奈德的手下也拔出了武器,但他們是三對二十。
Eyes watched from nearby windows and doors, but no one was about to intervene.
附近居民在門窗后暗中觀望,無人打算干涉。
His party was mounted, the Lannisters on foot save for Jaime himself.
他的部下都騎馬,而蘭尼斯特家的人除了詹姆都是徒步。
A charge might win them free, but it seemed to Eddard Stark that they had a surer, safer tactic.
沖鋒或許能殺出一條血路,但艾德·史塔克認為還有更保險、更安全的策略。
Kill me, he warned the Kingslayer, and Catelyn will most certainly slay Tyrion.
你殺了我,他警告弒君者。凱特琳手中的提利昂也性命難保。
Jaime Lannister poked at Ned's chest with the gilded sword that had sipped the blood of the last of the Dragonkings. Would she?
詹姆·蘭尼斯特用那把曾啜飲末代龍王鮮血的鍍金寶劍戳戳奈德胸膛。她會嗎?
The noble Catelyn Tully of Riverrun murder a hostage? I think...not. He sighed.
奔流城高貴的凱特琳·徒利謀害毫無反抗能力的人質?我看…她不會。他嘆口氣,
But I am not willing to chance my brother's life on a woman's honor.
但我可不想拿我弟弟的性命來跟一個女人的榮譽感作賭。
Jaime slid the golden sword into its sheath. So I suppose I'll let you run back to Robert to tell him how I frightened you. I wonder if he'll care.
詹姆將黃金寶劍回鞘。這樣看來,我只好讓你跑去跟勞勃告狀,說我是如何欺負你了。我很懷疑他會不會理你?
Jaime pushed his wet hair back with his fingers and wheeled his horse around. When he was beyond the line of swordsmen, he glanced back at his captain.
詹姆伸手把濕發往后一撥,調轉馬頭。當他騎馬經過那排武士時,他回頭瞄了隊長一眼。
Tregar, see that no harm comes to Lord Stark.
崔格,不許傷害史塔克大人。
As you say, m'lord.
遵命,大人。
Still...we wouldn't want him to leave here entirely unchastened, so… through the night and the rain, he glimpsed the white of Jaime's smile…kill his men.
可是……也不能讓他平白逃過一劫,所以呢,——穿過夜色和大雨,他依稀看到詹姆的微笑——把他手下給我全宰了。

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。
