But Tyrion's mood had been too foul for sense. To his shame, he had faltered during the last leg of their day-long climb up to the Eyrie, his stunted legs unable to take him any higher.
然而那時提利昂心情正惡,哪還顧得了理智。在上鷹巢城長達一整天的攀爬之行最后,他發育缺陷的雙腿實在無法行走,
Bronn had carried him the rest of the way, and the humiliation poured oil on the flames of his anger.
只好很丟臉地讓波隆背他上山。此刻所受的羞辱,無疑對他本已熾烈的怒意火上添油。
It would seem I've been a busy little fellow, he said with bitter sarcasm. I wonder when I found the time to do all this slaying and murdering.
看來我還真是個忙碌的小家伙,他口氣酸苦地譏諷道,連自己都不知道哪來的時間殺這殺那。
He ought to have remembered who he was dealing with. Lysa Arryn and her half-sane weakling son had not been known at court for their love of wit, especially when it was directed at them.
他早該想起自己面對的是誰。萊莎·艾林和她那半瘋的虛弱小鬼對耍弄機智向無好感,尤其是針對他們的時候,這在宮里是人盡皆知的事。
Imp, Lysa said coldly, you will guard that mocking tongue of yours and speak to my son politely, or I promise you will have cause to regret it. Remember where you are.
小惡魔,萊莎冷冷地說,你最好管緊你那張碎嘴,對我兒子客氣點,否則保證你后悔。不要忘記自己身在何處,
This is the Eyrie, and these are knights of the Vale you see around you, true men who loved Jon Arryn well. Every one of them would die for me.
這里是鷹巢城,你周圍的人都是艾林谷的騎士,個個忠貞不貳,對瓊恩·艾林敬愛有加,他們每個人都愿意為我犧牲性命。
Lady Arryn, should any harm come to me, my brother Jaime will be pleased to see that they do. Even as he spat out the words, Tyrion knew they were folly.
艾林夫人,我要有什么不測,我老哥詹姆絕對很樂意料理他們。話出口的剎那,提利昂發覺這么說實在愚蠢。
Can you fly, my lord of Lannister? Lady Lysa asked. Does a dwarf have wings? If not, you would be wiser to swallow the next threat that comes to mind.
蘭尼斯特大人,敢問您會飛嗎?萊莎夫人間,侏儒有沒有長翅膀???如果沒有,您最好乖乖地把其他威脅都吞下肚去。
I made no threats, Tyrion said. That was a promise.
我這不是威脅,提利昂道,而是保證。

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。
