Sansa's misery was deepening every day.
珊莎過得也很凄慘。
Tyrion would gladly have broken through her courtesy to give her what solace he might, but it was no good.
提利昂每每想打破她用禮貌編織的盔甲，給予她男人的慰籍，但他知道沒用。
No words would ever make him fair in her eyes.
不管嘴上說得多動聽，在她眼底，
Or any less a Lannister.
他其實是個丑陋不堪的怪物。
This was the wife they had given him, for all the rest of his life, and she hated him.
況且還是個蘭尼斯特。這就是他們給他的妻子，這就是要與他共度一生的女人。她恨他。
And their nights together in the great bed were another source of torment.
同床的夜晚是痛苦之源。
He could no longer bear to sleep naked, as had been his custom.
提利昂習慣裸睡，而今卻無法忍受。
His wife was too well trained ever to say an unkind word,
他的夫人被訓練得很嫻淑，從不說半句頂撞的話，
but the revulsion in her eyes whenever she looked on his body was more than he could bear.
但每當她看到他的身體，那種目光簡直讓人無地自容。
Tyrion had commanded Sansa to wear a sleeping shift as well.
于是他囑咐她穿上睡袍。
I want her, he realized.
我想要她，他心想，
I want Winterfell, yes, but I want her as well, child or woman or whatever she is.
是的，我也想要臨冬城，但最想要的還是她，管她孩子還是女人。
I want to comfort her.
我想給她安慰，
I want to hear her laugh.
我想聽她歡笑，
I want her to come to me willingly, to bring me her joys and her sorrows and her lust.
我想她開開心心地和我在一起，我想她把歡樂、痛苦、悲傷和欲望與我分享。
His mouth twisted in a bitter smile.
想到這里，他苦澀地笑了。
Yes, and I want to be tall as Jaime and as strong as Ser Gregor the Mountain too, for all the bloody good it does.
是啊，我好希望自己如詹姆一般高大，像魔山一樣強壯。諸神慈悲！
Unbidden, his thoughts went to Shae.
他不由自主地想起雪伊。
Tyrion had not wanted her to hear the news from any lips but his own,
結婚的消息，提利昂不愿瞞她，在成婚的前一天，
so he had commanded Varys to bring her to him the night before his wedding.
他吩咐瓦里斯將她帶來相見。
They met again in the eunuch's chambers, and when Shae began to undo the laces of his jerkin,
他們在太監(jiān)的臥室同床，當雪伊為他寬衣解帶時，
he'd caught her by the wrist and pushed her away.
他扣住她手腕，將她推開。
"Wait," he said,
“等等，”他說，
"there is something you must hear.
“我有件事必須跟你講。
On the morrow I am to be wed…
明天…我就要和…”
"… to Sansa Stark. I know."
“…珊莎·史塔克結婚。我知道。”
He was speechless for an instant.
他半晌說不出話來。
Even Sansa did not know, not then.
這事連珊莎本人都不知道，她怎么…？
"How could you know?
“你怎么知道？
Did Varys tell you?"
瓦里斯講的？”
"Some page was telling Ser Tallad about it when I took Lollys to the sept.
“我送洛麗絲去圣堂禱告時，聽見某個侍酒跟塔拉德爵士閑話，
He had it from this serving girl who heard Ser Kevan talking to your father."
而他又是從一位恰好聽見凱馮爵士和你父親談話的女仆那里聽說的。”
She wriggled free of his grasp and pulled her dress up over her head.
她掙脫抓握，將衣服流暢地拉過頭。
As ever, she was naked underneath.
和從前一樣，里面沒穿內衣。
"I don't care.
“我不擔心，
She's only a little girl.
她不過是個小孩子，
You'll give her a big belly and come back to me."
您會搞大她的肚子，然后回到我身邊來。”
Some part of him had hoped for less indifference.
他內心的一部分渴望相信她。
Had hoped, he jeered bitterly, but now you know better, dwarf.
相信她，他苦澀又嘲諷地想，唉，侏儒，
Shae is all the love you're ever like to have.
雪伊果真是你渴望的一切啊。
Muddy Way was crowded, but soldiers and townfolk alike made way for the Imp and his escort.
爛泥道上人潮洶涌，但在金袍子的驅趕下，兵士和平民都為小惡魔的隊伍讓道。
Hollow-eyed children swarmed underfoot, some looking up in silent appeal whilst others begged noisily.
眼窩深陷的兒童群聚在旁，有的沉默呆望，有的放聲乞討。
Tyrion pulled a big fistful of coppers from his purse and tossed them in the air, and the children went running for them, shoving and shouting.
提利昂從錢包里取出一大把銅板，拋擲出去，孩子們旋即展開爭奪，互相叫喊推擠。
The lucky ones might be able to buy a heel of stale bread tonight.
他們中的幸運兒大概今晚能吃上一塊霉面包。
He had never seen markets so crowded, and for all the food the Tyrells were bringing in, prices remained shockingly high.
市集廣場從未有過如此擁擠，提利爾家已運來無數補給，但食物的價格仍高得離譜。
Six coppers for a melon, a silver stag for a bushel of corn, a dragon for a side of beef or six skinny piglets.
六個銅板買一個南瓜，一個銀鹿換一堆玉米，一枚金龍的價值則是一刀牛肉或六只骨瘦如柴的豬崽。
Yet there seemed no lack of buyers.
雖然如此，買家依舊絡繹不絕。
Gaunt men and haggard women crowded around every wagon and stall, while others even more ragged looked on sullenly from the mouths of alleys.
形容憔悴枯槁的男女圍滿每一輛馬車、每一個貨攤，而那些凄慘無助的人則站在巷子口，陰郁地觀看。
"This way,"
“這條路…”
Bronn said, when they reached the foot of the Hook.
他們來到鉤巷口，波隆開口問，
"If you still mean to…?"
“你想去…？”
"I do."
“沒錯。”
The riverfront had made a convenient excuse, but Tyrion had another purpose today.
視察河濱只是幌子，提利昂另有目的。
It was not a task he relished, but it must be done.
這件事他不想去做，但別無選擇。
They turned away from Aegon's High Hill, into the maze of smaller streets that clustered around the foot of Visenya's.
于是他們離開伊耿高丘，朝維桑妮亞丘陵底部那堆由彎曲小巷組成的迷宮走去。
Bronn led the way.
波隆當先領路，
Once or twice Tyrion glanced back over his shoulder to see if they were being followed,
提利昂不時回頭，查看是否有眼線跟蹤，
but there was nothing to be seen except the usual rabble:
但沒發(fā)現什么異常情況：
a carter beating his horse, an old woman throwing nightsoil from her window,
只有一個驅策馬車的貨郎，一個在窗邊倒夜壺的老太婆，
two little boys fighting with sticks, three gold cloaks escorting a captive…
兩個用木棍打鬧的小孩，三名押送俘虜的金袍子…
they all looked innocent, but any one of them could be his undoing.
他們看起來都很無辜，但他卻不放心。
Varys had informers everywhere.
八爪蜘蛛瓦里斯可不是那么好欺瞞的。
