Politely, Tyrion turned his back. "I did not mean to frighten you. I promise you, nothing will happen to Myrcella."
提利昂恭敬地轉頭，“我不是想嚇你。真的，我跟你保證，彌賽拉決不會出事。”
"Liar," she said behind him. "I'm not a child, to be soothed with empty promises. You told me you would free Jaime too. Well, where is he?"
“騙子，”她在他背后說，“我不是三歲小孩，少拿空洞的承諾來敷衍我。你不是號稱能救出詹姆嗎？哼，他人在哪里？”
"In Riverrun, I should imagine. Safe and under guard, until I find a way to free him."
“在奔流城吧，我想。他有專人看守，安全無虞，正等著我想法子救他出來呢。”
Cersei sniffed. "I should have been born a man. I would have no need of any of you then. None of this would have been allowed to happen. How could Jaime let himself be captured by that boy? And Father, I trusted in him, fool that I am, but where is he now that he's wanted? What is he doing?"
瑟曦吸吸鼻子，“我是男人就好了，那樣我根本就不需要你們，也不會發生這些事。詹姆是怎么回事，竟然落入那小鬼手中？還有父親，算我蠢笨，居然信任他，眼下需要他的時候，他究竟在哪里？究竟在做什么？”
"Making war."
“他在打仗。”
"From behind the walls of Harrenhal?" she said scornfully. "A curious way of fighting. It looks suspiciously like hiding."
“躲在赫倫堡的高墻后打？”她輕蔑地說，“真是奇怪的戰法。說穿了，這是逃避！”
"Look again."
“你應該多動腦子。”
"What else would you call it? Father sits in one castle, and Robb Stark sits in another, and no one does anything."
“那你說是怎么回事？為何父親和羅柏·史塔克兩人各據一座城池，卻什么也不做！”
"There is sitting and there is sitting," Tyrion suggested. "Each one waits for the other to move, but the lion is still, poised, his tail twitching, while the fawn is frozen by fear, bowels turned to jelly. No matter which way he bounds, the lion will have him, and he knows it."
“他們不就在等嘛？”提利昂道，“雙方都在等對手行動。等待有兩種，獅子是搖著尾巴好整以暇，小鹿卻是嚇得不敢動彈，怕得魂飛魄散。不管朝哪邊跑，最后都會被獅子吃掉，而且它自己心知肚明。”
"And you're quite certain that Father is the lion?"
“你敢確定，父親就是那只獅子？”
Tyrion grinned. "It's on all our banners."
提利昂嘻嘻一笑，“喏，不就畫在咱家旗幟上嗎？”
