More to say? Mord held the strap between his fists and gave it a sharp pull.
還要說嗎?莫德雙手各握皮帶一端,猛力一扯,
The snap made Tyrion jump. The turnkey laughed.
啪的一聲把提利昂嚇得跳腳,獄卒樂得哈哈大笑。
He won't push me over, Tyrion told himself desperately as he crawled away from the edge.
他不敢把我推下去,提利昂一邊從崖邊爬回來,一邊絕望地告訴自己。
Catelyn Stark wants me alive, he doesn't dare kill me.
凱特琳·史塔克要留我活口,他絕對不敢殺我。
He wiped the blood off his lips with the back of his hand, grinned, and said, That was a stiff one, Mord.
他用手背抹抹唇上的血,嘻嘻笑道:莫德,剛剛那下可真帶勁。
The gaoler squinted at him, trying to decide if he was being mocked.
獄卒瞇眼看他,不知這是諷刺還是真心話。
I could make good use of a strong man like you.
我用得著你這么強壯的人。
The strap flew at him, but this time Tyrion was able to cringe away from it.
皮帶打過來,但這回提利昂縮身閃過。
He took a glancing blow to the shoulder, nothing more.
我說的可是金子,他像只螃蟹似地爬回來。
Gold, he repeated, scrambling backward like a crab, more gold than you'll see here in a lifetime.
重復(fù)道,你一輩子都用不完的金子。
Enough to buy land, women, horses,you could be a lord. Lord Mord.
買土地、女人、好馬都不成問題…你還可以當個貴族老爺。莫德大人,聽起來不賴吧?
Tyrion hawked up a glob of blood and phlegm and spat it out into the sky.
提利昂咳出一大口血和黏黏的東西,朝天空吐去。
Is no gold, Mord said.
沒有金子。莫德說。
He's listening! Tyrion thought. They relieved me of my purse when they captured me, but the gold is still mine.
他上鉤了!提利昂心想。他們抓我的時候把我的錢包搜走了,但錢還是我的。
Catelyn Stark might take a man prisoner, but she'd never stoop to rob him.
凱特琳·史塔克抓的是我的人,不至于紆尊降貴,搶我的錢。
That wouldn't be honorable. Help me, and all the gold is yours.
干那種事不光彩。只要你肯幫我,里面所有的金子都是你的了。
Mord's strap licked out, but it was a halfhearted, desultory swing, slow and contemptuous.
莫德的皮帶再度撲來,但只是漫不經(jīng)心地一揮,動作緩慢,充滿輕蔑。
Tyrion caught the leather in his hand and held it prisoned.
提利昂伸手抓住皮帶,這下他成了他的囚犯。
There will be no risk to you. All you need do is deliver a message.
你完全不用冒風險,只要幫我傳個口信就成。

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。
