Tyrion watched the faces of the Lords Tyrell, Redwyne, and Rowan, wondering if any of the three would be bold enough to say,
提利昂望著提利爾公爵、雷德溫伯爵和羅宛伯爵，心里好奇這三人中有沒有誰敢大膽到直言詢問：
"But Lord Tywin, wasn't it you who presented the bodies to Robert, all wrapped up in Lannister cloaks?"
“可是，泰溫大人，將孩子們的尸體包上蘭尼斯特的紅斗篷，獻給勞勃的，不正是您嗎？”
None of them did, but it was there on their faces all the same.
沒人說出口，但臉色一望即知。
Redwyne does not give a fig, he thought, but Rowan looks fit to gag.
他看到雷德溫大人張大了嘴巴，羅宛大人則似乎哽住了。
"When the king is wed to your Margaery and Myrcella to Prince Trystane, we shall all be one great House,"
“只等國王陛下迎娶您的瑪格麗，再將彌賽拉公主嫁給崔斯丹王子，我們三家就是一個大家庭了，”
Ser Kevan reminded Mace Tyrell.
凱馮爵士提醒梅斯·提利爾，
"The enmities of the past should remain there, would you not agree, my lord?"
“依我看，以往的糾紛就隨它去吧，我們要面向未來，您說呢，大人？”
"This is my daughter's wedding
“可，可這是我女兒——”
"-- and my grandson's," said Lord Tywin firmly.
“——和我孫子的婚禮，”泰溫公爵鎮(zhèn)定地說，
"No place for old quarrels, surely?"
“不容許繼續(xù)那些陳年糾紛，行嗎？”
"I have no quarrel with Doran Martell,"
“我和道朗·馬泰爾之間沒有糾紛，”
insisted Lord Tyrell, though his tone was more than a little grudging.
提利爾公爵勉強宣布，
"If he wishes to cross the Reach in peace, he need only ask my leave."
“只是…他若想假道河灣地，至少該給我打聲招呼吧？”
Small chance of that, thought Tyrion.
他們才不會穿越高庭的土地，提利昂明白，
He'll climb the Boneway, turn east near Summerhall, and come up the kingsroad.
道朗親王將攀登骨道，在盛夏廳附近轉向東行，然后沿國王大道北上。
"Three hundred Dornishmen need not trouble our plans," said Cersei.
“三百多恩人是小事，”瑟曦說，
"We can feed the men-at-arms in the yard, squeeze some extra benches into the throne room for the lordlings and highborn knights,
“士兵就在院子里招待，王座廳內加幾條凳子給領主和騎士，
and find Prince Doran a place of honor on the dais."
至于道朗親王，當然得坐高臺。”
Not by me, was the message Tyrion read in Mace Tyrell's eyes, but the Lord of Highgarden made no reply but a curt nod.
別坐我旁邊，梅斯·提利爾的眼睛如是說，但他沒有答話，只簡單地一點頭。
"Perhaps we can move to a more pleasant task," said Lord Tywin.
“接下來我們談談愉快的話題，”泰溫公爵道，
"The fruits of victory await for division."
“勝利的果實等著瓜分呢?！?/p>
"What could be sweeter?" said Littlefinger, who had already swallowed his own fruit, Harrenhal.
“噢，還有什么比這更美的呢？”小指頭笑問。他已經(jīng)吃下了自己那份厚禮，赫倫堡。
Each lord had his own demands;
每位大人都提出要求：
this castle and that village, tracts of lands, a small river, a forest, the wardship of certain minors left fatherless by the battle.
城堡、村莊、土地、河流、森林以及小貴族子嗣的撫養(yǎng)權。
Fortunately, these fruits were plentiful, and there were orphans and castles for all.
很幸運，這次戰(zhàn)爭留下的果實很豐盛，人人都分到了城堡和孤兒。
Varys had lists.
根據(jù)瓦里斯的統(tǒng)計，
Forty-seven lesser lordlings and six hundred nineteen knights had lost their lives beneath the fiery heart of Stannis and his Lord of Light,
為史坦尼斯的光之王和烈焰紅心旗而戰(zhàn)的隊伍中，共有四十七名領主和六百一十九名騎士送命，
along with several thousand common men-at-arms.
此外，還有數(shù)以千計的普通士兵喪生。
Traitors all, their heirs were disinherited, their lands and castles granted to those who had proved more loyal.
由于被宣布為叛徒，他們子嗣的繼承權均遭剝奪，土地和城堡等著分配給國王的忠仆。
Highgarden reaped the richest harvest.
最富饒的部分給了高庭，
Tyrion eyed Mace Tyrell's broad belly and thought,
提利昂瞧著梅斯·提利爾的大肚子，心想：
He has a prodigious appetite, this one.
他真是貪得無厭啊。
Tyrell demanded the lands and castles of Lord Alester Florent, his own bannerman,
提利爾索要自己旗下封臣艾利斯特·佛羅倫的所有土地和城堡——此人打錯了算盤，
who'd had the singular ill judgment to back first Renly and then Stannis.
很不幸地先追隨藍禮，然后又投效史坦尼斯。
Lord Tywin was pleased to oblige.
對此要求，泰溫公爵欣然應允。
Brightwater Keep and all its lands and incomes were granted to Lord Tyrell's second son, Ser Garlan,
于是，亮水城的土地、稅賦轉封給提利爾公爵的次子勇武的加蘭，
transforming him into a great lord in the blink of an eye.
使他眨眼間成為全國排得上號的大貴族。
His elder brother, of course, stood to inherit Highgarden itself.
而他兄長，自然還是高庭的繼承人。
Lesser tracts were granted to Lord Rowan, and set aside for Lord Tarly, Lady Oakheart, Lord Hightower, and other worthies not present.
其他土地被依次給予羅宛伯爵，以及塔利伯爵、奧克赫特伯爵夫人、海塔爾伯爵等未到場的功臣。
Lord Redwyne asked only for thirty years' remission of the taxes that Littlefinger and his wine factors had levied on certain of the Arbor's finest vintages.
雷德溫伯爵只要求小指頭手下葡萄酒代理人免征青亭島佳釀三十年關稅，
When that was granted, he pronounced himself well satisfied and suggested that they send for a cask of Arbor gold,
獲得批準后，他興高采烈地宣布要即刻進獻青亭島的特產金色葡萄酒，
to toast good King Joffrey and his wise and benevolent Hand.
向好國王喬佛里和慈愛睿智的首相大人致敬。
At that Cersei lost patience.
聽他喋喋不休，瑟曦失去了耐性。
"It's swords Joff needs, not toasts," she snapped.
“小喬要的是軍隊，并非什么致敬，”她叫道，
"His realm is still plagued with would-be usurpers and self-styled kings."
“王國里到處都是叛徒和偽君！”
"But not for long, I think," said Varys unctuously.
“他們是不會長久的，太后陛下，”瓦里斯甜膩膩地接口。
"A few more items remain, my lords."
“還有最后幾件事，大人們，”
Ser Kevan consulted his papers.
凱馮爵士理理文件，
"Ser Addam has found some crystals from the High Septon's crown.
“亞當爵士找到了總主教水晶冠的碎片，
It appears certain now that the thieves broke up the crystals and melted down the gold."
事情很清楚，有賊人偷走不少水晶，并融化了黃金?！?/p>
"Our Father Above knows their guilt and will sit in judgment on them all," the High Septon said piously.
“天父無所不知，他們的罪惡逃不過審判，”總主教虔誠地說。
