TYRION
列王的紛爭提利昂
Through the door came the soft sound of the high harp, mingled with a trilling of pipes.
輕柔的豎琴聲透過門扉傳來，混合著笛子的顫音。
The singer's voice was muffled by the thick walls, yet Tyrion knew the verse.
雖然歌手的嗓門隔著厚厚的門板聽不真切，但歌詞卻是提利昂再熟悉也不過的：
I loved a maid as fair as summer, he remembered, with sunlight in her hair...
我愛上一位美如夏日的姑娘，陽光照在她的秀發……
Ser Meryn Trant guarded the queen's door this night.
今晚在太后臥室門外把守的是馬林.特蘭爵士。
His muttered "My lord" struck Tyrion as a tad grudging, but he opened the door nonetheless.
提利昂的出現讓他有些為難，只好含含糊糊地說聲“大人”，活像個心懷不忿的孩子，隨后開了門。
The song broke off abruptly as he strode into his sister's bedchamber.
他大步跨入姐姐的臥室，歌聲嘎然而止。
Cersei was reclining on a pile of cushions. Her feet were bare, her golden hair artfully tousled,
瑟曦赤裸雙腳，倚靠在一堆墊子上，金色的秀發蓬亂而美麗。
her robe a green-and-gold samite that caught the light of the candles and shimmered as she looked up.
她抬起頭，一身金綠相間的錦袍映出閃爍的燭光。
"Sweet sister," Tyrion said, "how beautiful you look tonight." He turned to the singer.
“親愛的姐姐，”提利昂道，“你今晚看上去真迷人。”他轉向歌手，
"And you as well, cousin. I had no notion you had such a lovely voice."
“你也是，堂弟。真沒想到，你的嗓音這么動人。”
The compliment made Ser Lancel sulky; perhaps he thought he was being mocked.
聽見恭維，藍賽爾爵士繃起了臉，也許他意識到受了嘲笑。
It seemed to Tyrion that the lad had grown three inches since being knighted.
提利昂覺得這小子自從被封為騎士后，似乎拔高了三寸。
Lancel had thick sandy hair, green Lannister eyes, and a line of soft blond fuzz on his upper lip.
藍賽爾有濃密的黃棕頭發和蘭尼斯特家招牌式的碧眼，上唇留了一層柔軟的金色茸須。
At sixteen, he was cursed with all the certainty of youth, unleavened by any trace of humor or self doubt,
他年方十六，和其他少年一樣，對一切都那么肯定，毫無幽默感和自省心。
