Now he was not so certain.
然而現(xiàn)在他卻不那么確定了。
Perhaps his captors only meant to let him rot here, but he feared he did not have the strength to rot for long.
或許他們只打算讓他爛在這里,怕只怕自己連爛久點的力氣都沒有。
He was growing weaker every day, and it was only a matter of time until Mord’s kicks and blows did him serious harm, provided the gaoler did not starve him to death first.
他日漸虛弱,距離莫德把他踢成重傷,只是時間的問題。這還得以獄卒沒先把他餓死為前提。
A few more nights of cold and hunger, and the blue would start calling to him too.
再來幾個饑寒交迫的夜晚,藍天就會呼喚他了。
He wondered what was happening beyond the walls (such as they were) of his cell.
他不禁猜想囚室圍墻(雖然根本沒有圍墻)之外是怎樣一番情形。
Lord Tywin would surely have sent out riders when the word reached him.
泰溫公爵接獲消息后一定會派出使者。
Jaime might be leading a host through the Mountains of the Moon even now...unless he was riding north against Winterfell instead.
說不定這會兒詹姆已帶著軍隊,穿越明月山脈而來…或者他直接對付臨冬城?
Did anyone outside the Vale even suspect where Catelyn Stark had taken him? He wondered what Cersei would do when she heard.
峽谷之外,誰會猜到凱特琳·史塔克把他綁架到這里呢?他很好奇,瑟曦得知消息后會采取何種行動。
The king could order him freed, but would Robert listen to his queen or his Hand? Tyrion had no illusions about the king’s love for his sister.
國王自可下令釋放他,但勞勃究竟會聽他王后的話,還是他首相的話呢?國王對姐姐的感情有多深,提利昂可是一清二楚。
If Cersei kept her wits about her, she would insist the king sit in judgment of Tyrion himself.
若瑟曦肯仔細盤算,她應(yīng)該堅持要國王親自審判提利昂。
Even Ned Stark could scarcely object to that, not without impugning the honor of the king.
這樣一來,連奈德·史塔克也沒法反對,否則便有損國王名譽。
And Tyrion would be only too glad to take his chances in a trial.
對提利昂來說,能有公開審判的機會,自是求之不得。
Whatever murders they might lay at his door, the Starks had no proof of anything so far as he could see. Let them make their case before the Iron Throne and the lords of the land.It would be the end of them. If only Cersei were clever enough to see that.
無論他們給他安上什么罪名,到目前為止,他看不出他們能提出任何有力證據(jù)。就讓他們當著鐵王座和全國諸侯的面審理這個案子吧,那么他們鐵定完蛋。如果瑟曦真有這么機靈就好了…

背景介紹:
《權(quán)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(chǔ)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(guān)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(lǐng)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(zhuǎn)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(quán)力的游戲》,即為《冰與火之歌》的首部曲。《權(quán)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。
