Her stomach roiled and heaved, yet she kept on, her face smeared with the heartsblood that sometimes seemed toexplode against her lips.
她的胃里陣陣翻騰，但她咬牙堅持，還必須忍受不時噴濺到臉上的馬血。
Khal Drogo stood over her as she ate, his face as hard as a bronze shield. His long black braid was shiny withoil. He wore gold rings in his mustache, gold bells in his braid, and a heavy belt of solid gold medallions around his waist, but his chest was bare. She looked at him whenever she felt her strength failing; looked at him, and chewed and swallowed, chewed and swallowed, chewed and swallowed. Toward the end, Dany thought she glimpsed a fierce pride in his dark, almond-shaped eyes, but she could not be sure. The khal's face did not often betray the thoughts within.
卓戈卡奧高高地站在一旁，看著她吃，那張臉嚴峻得像青銅盾牌。他長長的黑發辮閃著油亮光澤，小胡子里掛了金環，發辮扎著鈴鐺，一條沉甸甸的金章腰帶系在腰間，胸膛卻是赤裸。每當她覺得力量漸失，便抬頭望他，然后繼續咬牙切齒、咀嚼吞咽。末了，她仿佛在他杏仁狀的黑眼瞳里，瞥見了某種堅毅的驕傲，但她不敢確定。無論卡奧心緒為何，他都很少顯現于色。
And finally it was done. Her cheeks and fingers were sticky as she forced down the last of it. Only then did she turn her eyes back to the old women, the crones of the dosh khaleen.
終于結束了。她吞下最后一塊馬肉，雙頰和手指早已僵麻。這時她才敢將視線轉回到那群老婦人，亦即多希卡林的老嫗們身上。
Khalakka dothrae mr'anha! she proclaimed in her best Dothraki. A prince rides inside me! She had practiced thephrase for days with her handmaid Jhiqui.
“卡拉喀，多斯雷，姆安哈！”她用自己最標準的多斯拉克語說，意思是：王子在我體內騎馬！多日以來，她和女仆姬琪反復練習這句話。
The oldest of the crones, a bent and shriveled stick of a woman with a single black eye, raised her arms on high. "Khalakka dothrae!" she shrieked. The prince is riding!
老嫗中最年邁的一位，一個彎腰駝背，骨瘦如柴，只剩一只黑眼的老女人雙手高舉。“卡拉喀，多斯雷！”她厲聲叫道，意思是：王子騎著馬！
