The High Hall of the Arryns was aglow with the light of fifty torches, burning in the sconces along the walls.
艾林家的大廳燈火通明，五十支火炬在墻壁的臺座上熠熠發亮。
The Lady Lysa wore black silk, with the moon-and-falcon sewn on her breast in pearls.
萊莎夫人身著黑紗禮服，胸前配著珍珠繡的新月獵鷹紋章。
Since she did not look the sort to join the Night's Watch, Tyrion could only imagine that she had decided mourning clothes were appropriate garb for a confession.
既然她沒打算加入守夜人軍團，提利昂猜想，只怕她覺得聽人認罪時惟一適合的就是喪服。
Her long auburn hair, woven into an elaborate braid, fell across her left shoulder.
她的紅棕色長發扎成一個精巧的辮子，斜斜地垂在左肩。
The taller throne beside her was empty; no doubt the little Lord of the Eyrie was off shaking in his sleep.
她旁邊那個較高的王座是空的，想必鷹巢城的小公爵此刻正在睡夢中發抖罷。
Tyrion was thankful for that much, at least.
少了他總是好的。
He bowed deeply and took a moment to glance around the hall.
他深深一鞠躬，借機環顧在場人等。
Lady Arryn had summoned her knights and retainers to hear his confession, as he had hoped.

He saw Ser Brynden Tully's craggy face and Lord Nestor Royce's bluff one.
他看見布林登·徒利爵士歷盡風霜的臉，以及好脾氣的奈斯特·羅伊斯男爵。
Beside Nestor stood a younger man with fierce black side-whiskers who could only be his heir, Ser Albar.
奈斯特身旁站了個年紀較輕的人，生了對銳利的黑色八字胡，定是他的繼承人艾爾拔爵士。
Most of the principal houses of the Vale were represented.
峽谷的首要貴族多半有代表到場。
Tyrion noted Ser Lyn Corbray, slender as a sword, Lord Hunter with his gouty legs, the widowed Lady Waynwood surrounded by her sons.
提利昂看到瘦得像把劍的林恩·科布瑞爵士，腿生痛風的杭特伯爵，以及身邊兒子成群的寡婦韋伍德伯爵夫人。
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。
