Ned picked up the silver clasp. He was being given no choice, it seemed.
奈德拾起銀胸針??磥硭麆e無選擇。
His leg throbbed, and he felt as helpless as a child. The Targaryen girl...
他腳傷抽痛,覺得自己無助得像個孩子。坦格利安家那女孩—
The king groaned. Seven hells, don't start with her again.
國王一聲呻吟,七層地獄啊,你還提她干嘛?
That's done, I'll hear no more of it.
那件事算完了,我不想再談。
Why would you want me as your Hand, if you refuse to listen to my counsel?
若你不愿聽我忠告,還要我這個首相做什么?
Why? Robert laughed. Why not? Someone has to rule this damnable kingdom. Put on the badge, Ned.
做什么?勞勃大笑,這爛國家總得有人管。奈德,把徽章戴起來。
It suits you. And if you ever throw it in my face again, I swear to you, I'll pin the damned thing on Jaime Lannister.
我跟你發誓,你要是敢再丟還給我,我就親自把這爛東西配在詹姆·蘭尼斯特身上。

凱特琳
The eastern sky was rose and gold as the sun broke over the Vale of Arryn.
艾林谷的日出,將東方的天空染成玫瑰和金黃。
Catelyn Stark watched the light spread, her hands resting on the delicate carved stone of the balustrade outside her window.
凱特琳·史塔克雙手擱在窗外雕飾華麗的欄桿上,凝望著逐漸散溢的光輝。
Below her the world turned from black to indigo to green as dawn crept across fields and forests.
黎明爬過田野和森林,世界在她腳下由漆黑轉為靛青,再變成茵綠。
Pale white mists rose off Alyssa's Tears, where the ghost waters plunged over the shoulder of the mountain to begin their long tumble down the face of the Giant's Lance.
幽魂般的水沖出山脊,開始它們騰涌直落巨人之槍的漫長旅程,阿萊莎之淚上白霧激蕩。
Catelyn could feel the faint touch of spray on her face.
凱特琳隱約可以感覺水花濺到臉上。
Alyssa Arryn had seen her husband, her brothers, and all her children slain, and yet in life she had never shed a tear.
阿萊莎·艾林生前眼睜睜地見到丈夫、兄弟和兒女慘遭殺害,卻從未掉過一滴眼淚。

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?!稒嗔Φ挠螒颉犯Τ霰隳孟铝薆ritish 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。
