"And a good king?"
“也是個好國王？”
"Joffrey is king."
“喬佛里才是國王。”
"And Tommen is heir, should anything ill befall His Grace. Tommen, whose nature is so sweet, and notably... tractable."
“倘若陛下有什么不測，托曼便將繼承王位。托曼這孩子天生可愛，又是出了名的……聽話啊。”
"You have a suspicious mind, Varys."
“瓦里斯，你的想象力也未免太豐富了。”
"I shall take that as a tribute, my lord. In any case, Prince Doran will hardly be insensible of the great honor you do him. Very deftly done, I would say... but for one small flaw."
“大人，我就把您這話當恭維吧。總而言之，既然您對他如此禮遇，道朗親王斷無拒絕之理。我不得不說，您辦得實在高明……除了一個小小的漏洞。”
The dwarf laughed. "Named Cersei?"
侏儒大笑，“這個漏洞叫瑟曦？”
"What avails statecraft against the love of a mother for the sweet fruit of her womb? Perhaps, for the glory of her House and the safety of the realm, the queen might be persuaded to send away Tommen or Myrcella. But both of them? Surely not."
“國家大事哪比得上母子親情呢？或許，看在家族榮耀和王國和平的份上，太后會勉強同意把托曼與彌賽拉其中之一送走，但兩個都要？絕無可能。”
"What Cersei does not know will never hurt me."
“只要別讓瑟曦知道，她就無從妨礙啰。”
"And if Her Grace were to discover your intentions before your plans are ripe?"
“萬一計劃在成熟之前，就被陛下她發現呢？”
"Why," he said, "then I would know the man who told her to be my certain enemy." And when Varys giggled, he thought, Three.
“這個嘛，”他說，“我自然把告密者當死對頭啰。”看著瓦里斯咯咯傻笑，他心里清楚：第三個也成了。
