Making noise, Mord growled, with blood in his eyes. Dangling from one meaty hand was a leather strap, wide and thick, doubled over in his fist.
好吵。莫德滿眼血絲地咆哮道。他一只肥手里握著一條又粗又寬的皮帶，對折了抓在掌心。
Never show them you're afraid, Tyrion reminded himself. How would you like to be rich? he asked.
別讓他們知道你害怕，提利昂提醒自己。你想不想發財？他問。
Mord hit him. He swung the strap backhand, lazily, but the leather caught Tyrion high on the arm.
莫德揍他。他反手懶懶地揮出皮帶，打中提利昂上臂。
The force of it staggered him, and the pain made him grit his teeth. No mouth, dwarf man, Mord warned him.
力道震得他腳步不穩，痛得他咬緊牙根。矮冬瓜，別吵。莫德警告他。
Gold, Tyrion said, miming a smile. Casterly Rock is full of gold...ahhhh...
金子，提利昂裝出笑，凱巖城里到處都是金子…啊啊啊…
This time the blow was a forehand, and Mord put more of his arm into the swing, making the leather crack and jump.
這回莫德用了力，皮帶一聲爆裂，自他手中蹦跳到提利昂肋骨上，痛得他當即跪下呻吟。
It caught Tyrion in the ribs and dropped him to his knees, wimpering.
他強迫自己抬頭看著獄卒。跟蘭尼斯特家一樣有錢，
He forced himself to look up at the gaoler. As rich as the Lannisters, he wheezed. That's what they say, Mord...
他呼吸困難地說，他們不都這樣說么？莫德—
Mord grunted. The strap whistled through the air and smashed Tyrion full in the face.
莫德咕噥一聲，皮帶劃破空氣，正中提利昂面門。
The pain was so bad he did not remember falling, but when he opened his eyes again he was on the floor of his cell.
他天旋地轉，連自己是如何摔倒都不記得。
His ear was ringing, and his mouth was full of blood. He groped for purchase, to push himself up, and his fingers brushed against...nothing.
再睜眼時，他發現人躺在牢房地上，耳鳴不已，滿嘴是血。他伸手想找個支撐爬起來，結果手指摸到的卻是…什么也沒有。
Tyrion snatched his hand back as fast as if it had been scalded, and tried his best to stop breathing. He had fallen right on the edge, inches from the blue.
提利昂飛快地抽回手，仿佛被燙到似的，憋氣不敢呼吸。他剛好落在山崖邊，距離藍天只有幾寸之遙。
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。
