Timett's fellow Burned Men were so awed by his choice of an eye that they promptly named him a red hand, which seemed to be some sort of a war chief.
提魅的灼人部同胞由于對他的挖眼行徑大為折服，立刻便讓他成為“紅手”，約略等于戰(zhàn)爭領(lǐng)袖的意思。
I wonder what their king burned off, Tyrion said to Bronn when he heard the tale. Grinning, the sellsword had tugged at his crotch... but even Bronn kept a respectful tongue around Timett. If a man was mad enough to put out his own eye, he was unlikely to be gentle to his enemies.
“我真想知道他們的國王燒掉的是什么?！碧崂郝犨@故事的時候，對波隆這么說。傭兵嘿嘿一笑，伸手指指他的胯下……不過就連波隆，在提魅身邊講話也特別小心。既然這人瘋到連自己眼睛都敢挖出來，想必不會對敵人溫柔。
Distant watchers peered down from towers of unmortared stone as the party descended through the foothills, and once Tyrion saw a raven take wing. Where the high road twisted between two rocky outcrops, they came to the first strong point. A low earthen wall four feet high closed off the road, and a dozen crossbowmen manned the heights. Tyrion halted his followers out of range and rode to the wall alone. "Who commands here?" he shouted up.
隊(duì)伍騎馬走下山麓小丘，遠(yuǎn)處，未砌水泥的石制嘹望塔上，守衛(wèi)正向下掃視。一只渡鴉振翅高飛。山路夾在裸巖中間轉(zhuǎn)彎，他們來到了第一個有重兵防守的關(guān)卡。道路為一堵四尺陶土矮墻所阻擋，高處站有十來個十字弓兵負(fù)責(zé)把守。提利昂要同伴們停在射程之外，策馬獨(dú)自走近?！斑@兒由誰負(fù)責(zé)？”
The captain was quick to appear, and even quicker to give them an escort when he recognized his lord's son. They trotted past blackened fields and burned holdfasts, down to the riverlands and the Green Fork of the Trident. Tyrion saw no bodies, but the air was full of ravens and carrion crows; there had been fighting here, and recently.
守衛(wèi)隊(duì)長很快出現(xiàn)，一認(rèn)出他是領(lǐng)主的兒子，立刻派人馬護(hù)送他們下山。他們快馬跑過焦黑的田野和焚盡的村舍，進(jìn)入河間地區(qū)，接近三叉戟河的支流綠叉河。提利昂雖沒看見尸體，但空氣中彌漫著專食腐尸的烏鴉發(fā)出的味道；顯然這里最近曾發(fā)生戰(zhàn)斗。
