Tyrion glanced up at the sellsword. "Did I offend you?
提利昂瞄瞄傭兵。“我冒犯到你了嗎？
Oh, my pardons...but you are scum, Bronn, make no mistake.
那還真對不住……不過哩，波隆，你也搞清楚，你的的確確是個人渣。
Duty, honor, friendship, what's that to you?

Bronn blew gently on the fire, and the flames leapt up higher.

“萬一你死了怎么辦？”
"Why then, I’ll have one mourner whose grief is sincere,"
