Tyrion
提利昂
I do not sleep as I did when I was younger, Grand Maester Pycelle told him, by way of apology for the dawn meeting. "I would sooner be up, though the world be dark, than lie restless abed, fretting on tasks undone," he said—though his heavy-lidded eyes made him look half-asleep as he said it. In the airy chambers beneath the rookery, his girl served them boiled eggs, stewed plums, and porridge, while Pycelle served the pontifications. "In these sad times, when so many hunger, I think it only fitting to keep my table spare."
“而今的睡眠不比從前啰，”派席爾大學士為凌晨的會議精神欠佳向他致歉，“我寧可天亮前便早早起身，也不愿輾轉反側，為未完成的工作揪心憂愁。”他話雖這么說，但瞧那低垂的眼皮，他似乎又快睡著了。他們坐在鴉巢下通風的房間里，他的女侍送上白煮蛋、熟李子和燕麥粥?！胺浅r期，許多百姓連吃的都沒有，我想自己也該一切從簡?！?/div>
Commendable, Tyrion admitted, breaking a large brown egg that reminded him unduly of the Grand Maester's bald spotted head. "I take a different view. If there is food I eat it, in case there is none on the morrow." He smiled. "Tell me, are your ravens early risers as well?"
“令人欽佩?！碧崂撼姓J，并敲開一顆棕色的大蛋，心里覺得這顆蛋還真像大學士布滿斑點的禿頭?！暗铱捶ú煌?。我是能吃的時候盡量吃，以免明天吃不到?！彼冻鑫⑿?，“說說，您的烏鴉也這么早起嗎？”
Pycelle stroked the snowy beard that flowed down his chest. "To be sure. Shall I send for quill and ink after we have eaten?"
派席爾捻捻流泄至胸的雪白胡須，“那當然。等您吃完，我就叫人拿紙筆來？”
No need. Tyrion laid the letters on the table beside his porridge, twin parchments tightly rolled and sealed with wax at both ends. "Send your girl away, so we can talk."
“不必了?！碧崂喝〕鰞煞庑牛旁谘帑溨嗯?。兩張卷得很緊的羊皮紙，側面用蠟封好?！敖心愕呐拖氯?，我們好說話?！?/div>
Leave us, child, Pycelle commanded. The serving girl hurried from the room. "These letters, now..."
“孩子，你先退下。”派席爾命令，女孩急忙離開房間?！罢垎栠@些是……”
