When the wine was poured, Lord Gyles rose to lift a cup to the king, and Ser Balon Swann was heard to remark, 'We'll need three cups for that.' Many laughed..."
倒酒的時候，蓋爾斯大人舉杯敬國王陛下，有人聽到巴隆·史文爵士說：”那我們需要三個杯子。‘很多人笑了……“
Tyrion raised a hand. "Enough. Ser Balon made a jest. I am not interested in treasonous table talk, Lord Varys."
提利昂舉起手，“夠了，巴隆爵士不過開開玩笑。瓦里斯大人，我對宴會席間的閑話沒興趣。”
You are as wise as you are gentle, my lord. The parchment vanished up the eunuch's sleeve. "We both have much to do. I shall leave you."
“大人，您不但睿智，更有度量。”那張紙消失在太監袖子里，“我們都還有很多事要忙，我就先告辭了。”
When the eunuch had departed, Tyrion sat for a long time watching the candle and wondering how his sister would take the news of Janos Slynt's dismissal. Not happily, if he was any judge, but beyond sending an angry protest to Lord Tywin in Harrenhal, he did not see what Cersei could hope to do about it. Tyrion had the City Watch now, plus a hundred-and-a-half fierce clansmen and a growing force of sellswords recruited by Bronn. He would seem well protected.
太監離開之后，提利昂靜坐良久，望著眼前燭光。不知姐姐對杰諾斯·史林特遭遣一事有何反應，當然，她絕不會高興，這可以想見，然而除了向遠在赫倫堡的泰溫公爵遞交憤怒的控訴，估計她也沒什么辦法。如今提利昂不但掌握了都城守備隊，一百五十個剽悍的高山族民，還要加上波隆招募的、人數正不斷增加的傭兵，怎么看他都應該安全無虞。
Doubtless Eddard Stark thought the same.
想必當初艾德·史塔克也是這么以為。
The Red Keep was dark and still when Tyrion left the Small Hall. Bronn was waiting in his solar. "Slynt?" he asked.
提利昂離開小廳時，紅堡一片寂靜，四下漆黑。波隆正在他的書房里等他。“史林特呢？”他問。
Lord Janos will be sailing for the Wall on the morning tide. Varys would have me believe that I have replaced one of Joffrey's men with one of my own. More likely, I have replaced Littlefinger's man with one belonging to Varys, but so be it.
“杰諾斯大人明兒起早搭船去長城。瓦里斯要我相信，我把喬佛里的爪牙換成了自己的手下，可在我看來，是把小指頭的人換成了瓦里斯的人，不過暫時就這樣吧。”
