The wretched boy had started it, looking down on him from a throne of carved weirwood beneath the moon-and-falcon banners of House Arryn.
一切都是從那高高坐在魚梁木雕刻的王座上，頭頂飄揚著艾林家族的新月獵鷹旗幟，睥睨著他的該死小鬼開始的。
Tyrion Lannister had been looked down on all his life, but seldom by rheumy-eyed six-year-olds who needed to stuff fat cushions under their cheeks to lift them to the height of a man.
提利昂這輩子經常被人輕賤，然而被眼睛濕黏黏，得坐在厚厚的墊子上才有正常人高度的六歲小鬼如此看待，還是頭一遭。
Is he the bad man? the boy had asked, clutching his doll.
他就是那個壞人嗎？小鬼抱著玩偶問。
He is, the Lady Lysa had said from the lesser throne beside him. She was all in blue, powdered and perfumed for the suitors who filled her court.
就是他。萊莎夫人坐在他旁邊一張較小的王座上，一襲藍衣，為了滿足追求者，特別撲了粉又噴了香水。
He's so small, the Lord of the Eyrie said, giggling.
他好小一點點呀。鷹巢城公爵咯咯笑著說。
This is Tyrion the Imp, of House Lannister, who murdered your father.
這是蘭尼斯特家的小惡魔提利昂，謀害你父親的就是他。
She raised her voice so it carried down the length of High Hall of the Eyrie, ringing off the milk-white walls and the slender pillars, so every man could hear it. He slew the Hand of the King!
她提高音量，所講的話傳遍整個鷹巢城大廳，在乳白色墻壁和纖細的柱子間回蕩，讓每個人都聽得到。他害死了國王的首相！
Oh, did I kill him too? Tyrion had said, like a fool.
哦，原來他也是我殺的？提利昂像個蠢蛋似地反問。
That would have been a very good time to have kept his mouth closed and his head bowed.
那個時候，他本應當?shù)拖骂^顱，乖乖閉緊嘴巴。
He could see that now; seven hells, he had seen it then.
他早該想到的，七層地獄，其實他當時又何嘗不知。
The High Hall of the Arryns was long and austere, with a forbidding coldness to its walls of blue-veined white marble, but the faces around him had been colder by far.
艾林家的議事廳堂碩長而儉樸，藍紋的白色大理石墻，有股令人難以親近的寒意，然而周遭眾人的臉色，才真叫人心寒。
The power of Casterly Rock was far away, and there were no friends of the Lannisters in the Vale of Arryn. Submission and silence would have been his best defenses.
此處凱巖城勢力鞭長莫及，艾林谷中也少有親蘭尼斯特人士。總的說來，態(tài)度屈從，保持沉默，實是他最佳防御。
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。
