So power is a mummer's trick?
“這么說來，力量不過是騙人的把戲？”
A shadow on the wall, Varys murmured, "yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow."
“力量就像墻上的影子，”瓦里斯喃喃道，“但影子卻能殺人。而且，即便是矮小人物，也能投射出碩大的影子。”
Tyrion smiled. "Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it."
提利昂微笑道：“瓦里斯大人，說來奇怪，我發現自己越來越喜歡你了。我可能還是會殺你，不過我想自己會因此而難過。”
I will take that as high praise.
“我把這當作至高的贊美。”
What are you, Varys? Tyrion found he truly wanted to know. "A spider, they say." "Spies and informers are seldom loved, my lord. I am but a loyal servant of the realm."
“那你又是什么，瓦里斯？”這才是提利昂真正想知道的答案，“有些人說你是蜘蛛。”“大人哪，蜘蛛和密探鮮少受人喜愛，我只想當個忠勤于國的臣仆罷了。”
And a eunuch. Let us not forget that.
“也是個太監，我們別忘了這點。”
I seldom do.
“我不敢忘。”
People have called me a halfman too, yet I think the gods have been kinder to me. I am small, my legs are twisted, and women do not look upon me with any great yearning... yet I'm still a man. Shae is not the first to grace my bed, and one day I may take a wife and sire a son. If the gods are good, he'll look like his uncle and think like his father. You have no such hope to sustain you. Dwarfs are a jape of the gods... but men make eunuchs. Who cut you, Varys? When and why? Who are you, truly?
“人們說我是個半人，但我想天上諸神對我還算仁慈。我個子小，兩腳發育不良，女人對我沒興趣……但好歹還是個男人。雪伊并非第一個跟我上床的人，有朝一日我說不定還會娶妻生子。假如諸神眷顧，我兒子會有他大伯的外表和他老爸的頭腦。而你呢，沒有這樣的愿景作支撐。侏儒是諸神的惡作劇……太監卻是凡人造的孽。瓦里斯，是誰閹了你？什么時候的事？他為什么這樣做？你真正的身份又是什么？”
