How is King Joffrey taking the news? Tyrion asked with a certain black amusement.
“喬佛里國王對此事有何反應?”提利昂帶著某種黑色的興致發問。
Cersei has not seen fit to tell him yet, Lord Tywin said. "She fears he might insist on marching against Renly himself."
“瑟曦認為現在還不宜告訴他,”泰溫公爵說,“她恐怕他會堅持親自出兵征討藍禮?!?/div>
With what army? Tyrion asked. "You don't plan to give him this one, I hope?"
“出兵?哪來的軍隊?”提利昂問,“你該不會打算把這支軍隊交給他吧?”
He talks of leading the City Watch, Lord Tywin said.
“他曾宣稱要率領都城守衛隊出征?!碧毓舻?。
If he takes the Watch, he'll leave the city undefended, Sir Kevan said. "And with Lord Stannis on Dragonstone... "
“他帶走都城守衛隊,城里勢必防御空虛,”凱馮爵士說,“那么龍石島的史坦尼斯公爵……”
Yes. Lord Tywin looked down at his son. "I had thought you were the one made for motley, Tyrion, but it would appear that I was wrong."
“是的?!碧毓纛㈨鍍鹤??!疤崂海以詾槟闵鷣碇挥须s耍的份,不過看來我是錯了?!?/div>
Why, Father, said Tyrion, "that almost sounds like praise." He leaned forward intently. "What of Stannis? He's the elder, not Renly. How does he feel about his brother's claim?"
“喲,老爸,”提利昂說,“聽起來好像贊美哩?!彼χ翱咳??!澳敲?,史坦尼斯方面有何行動?他才是長兄,藍禮只是三子。對于弟弟稱王一事,他有何反應?”
His father frowned. "I have felt from the beginning that Stannis was a greater danger than all the others combined. Yet he does nothing. Oh, Varys hears his whispers. Stannis is building ships, Stannis is hiring sellswords, Stannis is bringing a shadowbinder from Asshai. What does it mean? Is any of it true?" He gave an irritated shrug. "Kevan, bring us the map."
父親皺眉道:“從一開始,我就認為史坦尼斯比其他所有人加起來還要危險,但他卻毫無動靜。嗯,瓦里斯是有些情報,比如史坦尼斯正在建造船只,史坦尼斯正在招募傭兵,還說史坦尼斯從亞夏找來一個縛影師,可這究竟代表著什么?其中又有多少屬實?”他有些惱怒地聳聳肩。“凱馮,拿地圖來。”
Sir Kevan did as he was bid. Lord Tywin unrolled the leather, smoothing it flat.
凱馮爵士即刻照辦。泰溫公爵展開皮地圖,將之攤平。
