冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第1177期:第五十六章 丹妮莉丝(12)

 Dany heard logs spit and crack. The fires swept over Mirri Maz Duur. Her song grew louder, shriller... 丹妮听见柴薪爆裂，烈焰淹没了弥丽·马兹·笃尔，她的歌声变得更嘹亮、更尖锐……

then she gasped¹, again and again, and her song became a shuddering² wail³, thin and high and full of agony. 然后她突然喘了口气，再喘一口、一口，接着歌声成了颤抖的嚎啕，尖细高亢，充满痛苦。

And now the flames reached her Drogo, and now they were all around him. 火焰烧到了卓戈，很快将他团团围住。

His clothing took fire, and for an instant the khal was clad in wisps of floating orange silk and tendrils of curling smoke, grey and greasy⁴. 他的衣服着了火，刹那间，卡奥仿佛穿着翻飞的橙色丝衣，身上冒出缕缕灰烟。

Dany's lips parted and she found herself holding her breath. 丹妮张大了嘴巴，这才发现自己早已屏住呼吸。

Part of her wanted to go to him as Sir Jorah had feared, to rush into the flames to beg for his forgiveness and take him inside her one last time, 正如乔拉爵士所担心的，她心中的一部分只想冲进烈焰，请求他宽恕自己，最后一次进到自己体内。

the fire melting the flesh from their bones until they were as one, forever. 火熔肌肤，只余枯骨，长相厮守，直到永远。

She could smell the odor of burning flesh, no different than horseflesh roasting in a firepit. 她闻到人肉烧熟的味道，这与营火上烤马肉的气息并无二致。

The pyre roared in the deepening dusk like some great beast, 在渐渐深沉的暮色里，火葬台宛如一只咆哮的巨兽，

drowning out the fainter sound of Mirri Maz Duur's screaming and sending up long tongues of flame to lick at the belly⁵ of the night. 盖过了弥丽·马兹·笃尔微弱的惨叫，吐出长长的火舌，舔噬夜空的肚腹。

As the smoke grew thicker, the Dothraki backed away, coughing. 烟雾愈加浓密，多斯拉克人一边咳嗽，一边纷纷后退。

Huge orange gouts of fire unfurled their banners in that hellish wind, 橙色的巨焰鼓起炼狱的强风，将附近的旗帜吹得啪哒作响，

the logs hissing⁶ and cracking, glowing cinders⁷ rising on the smoke to float away into the dark like so many newborn fireflies. 木柴嘶声爆裂，发光的余烬自烟幕中升起，朝无边的黑夜飘去，仿若千百只新生的萤火虫。
