丹妮莉絲
On the walls of Qarth, men beat gongs to herald her coming,
丹妮莉絲抵達魁爾斯時，人們在城墻上敲響銅鑼通報，
while others blew curious horns that encircled their bodies like great bronze snakes.

A column of camelry emerged from the city as her honor guards.
城內走出一隊駱駝騎兵，充當她的榮譽護衛。
The riders wore scaled copper armor and snouted helms with copper tusks and long black silk plumes,

and sat high on saddles inlaid with rubies and garnets.

Their camels were dressed in blankets of a hundred different hues.

Qarth is the greatest city that ever was or ever will be,

Pyat Pree had told her, back amongst the bones of Vaes Tolorro.

It is the center of the world, the gate between north and south,

the bridge between east and west, ancient beyond memory of man

and so magnificent that Saathos the Wise put out his eyes after gazing upon Qarth for the first time,
它宏偉壯麗，令智者薩索斯第一眼看到它之后便自毀雙眼，
because he knew that all he saw thereafter should look squalid and ugly by comparison.
因為他知道今后所見的一切，與它相比都將丑陋不堪，黯然失色。
Dany took the warlock’s words well salted,
丹妮認為男巫說話向來添油加醋，
but the magnificence of the great city was not to be denied.
