冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第1121期:第五十三章 提利昂(13)

 　　Then you had best learn to control them. I will not have the city plundered¹. “那你得学会如何管束他们，我不想见到他们在城里打家劫舍。”

　　The city? Tyrion was lost. "What city would that be?" “城里？”提利昂糊涂了，“哪个城？”

　　King's Landing. I am sending you to court. “君临。我要派你进宫。”

　　It was the last thing Tyrion Lannister would ever have anticipated. 这是提利昂·兰尼斯特最没预料到的事。

　　He reached for his wine, and considered for a moment as he sipped². "And what am I to do there?" 他举起酒杯，边喝边想，“派我进宫做什么？”

　　Rule, his father said curtly³. “管事。”父亲唐突地说。

　　Tyrion hooted⁴ with laughter. "My sweet sister might have a word or two to say about that!" 提利昂哈哈大笑。“我亲爱的老姐对此恐怕有意见哟！”

　　Let her say what she likes. Her son needs to be taken in hand before he ruins us all. “随她去说，总得有人管管她儿子，以免他把我们全部搞垮。

　　I blame those jackanapes on the council, our friend Petyr, the venerable Grand Maester, and that cockless wonder Lord Varys. 我认为这都是那群三心二意的重臣搞的鬼——我们的朋友培提尔、年高德劭的大学士，还有那个少了老二的活宝瓦里斯大人。

　　What sort of counsel are they giving Joffrey when he lurches from one folly⁵ to the next? 乔佛里做出一桩又一桩蠢事时，他们都在干什么？

　　Whose notion was it to make this Janos Slynt a lord? 到底是谁出的馊主意，竟把这个杰诺斯·史林特拔擢为贵族？

　　The man's father was a butcher, and they grant him Harrenhal. 这家伙的父亲是个屠夫，而他们竟给了他赫伦堡，

　　Harrenhal, that was the seat of kings! Not that he will ever set foot inside it, if I have a say. 赫伦堡！那是国王住的城堡！只要我一息尚存，他就别想踏进去。

　　I am told he took a bloody⁶ spear for his sigil. A bloody cleaver⁷ would have been my choice. 听说他挑了一支染血长枪作家徽，假如我在，非逼他改成染血的菜刀不可。”

　　His father had not raised his voice, yet Tyrion could see the anger in the gold of his eyes. 父亲并未提高音量，但提利昂从他的金黄眼瞳里体会得出他的愤怒。
