I'll come back for you, Mya said. Don't move, my lady.
我这就过来,米亚道,夫人,您站在那儿别动。
Moving was about the last thing Catelyn was about to do. She listened to the skirling of the wind and the scuffling sound of leather on stone. Then Mya was there, taking her gently by the arm. Keep your eyes closed if you like. Let go of the rope now, Whitey will take care of himself. Very good, my lady. I'll lead you over, it's easy, you'll see. Give me a step now. That's it, move your foot, just slide it forward. See. Now another. Easy. You could run across. Another one, go on. Yes. And so, foot by foot, step by step, the bastard girl led Catelyn across, blind and trembling, while the white mule followed placidly behind them.
此刻凯特琳最不会做的就是乱动。她听着风声呼啸,以及皮革在石头上发出的摩擦,随后米亚就来了,轻轻地牵起她的手。您怕的话,闭上眼睛就好。绳子可以放开,小白自己会走。很好,夫人。我带您过去,您看吧,没什么大不了。走一步试试看,就是这样,动动您的脚,往前滑就对了,看,挺简单吧?再来一步,慢慢来,路这么宽,您都可以跑哩。再来一步,再来。对了。私生女孩就这样一步一步带着闭起眼睛,颤抖不已的凯特琳走过危崖,那头白骡子则慢悠悠地跟在后面。
The waycastle called Sky was no more than a high, crescent-shaped wall of unmortared stone raised against the side of the mountain, but even the topless towers of Valyria could not have looked more beautiful to Catelyn Stark. Here at last the snow crown began; Sky's weathered stones were rimed with frost, and long spears of ice hung from the slopes above.
长天堡不过是一道新月形状,沿着山壁用粗石堆砌而成的高耸城墙,但凯特琳·史塔克却觉得,即便傲立云霄的瓦雷利亚通天塔也没这般美丽。雪线由此开始,长天堡历尽沧桑的城墙处处结霜,其上的斜坡挂满了长长的冰柱。
Dawn was breaking in the east as Mya Stone hallooed for the guards, and the gates opened before them. Inside the walls there was only a series of ramps and a great tumble of boulders and stones of all sizes.
米亚·石东向守卫打过招呼,城门便在她们面前打开,此时东方已经渐露曙光。城墙背后是一连串的坡道,各种大小的岩石摇摇欲坠,这里无疑便是全世界最容易山崩的地方了。
背景介绍:
《权力的游戏》是一部中世纪史诗奇幻题材的电视连续剧。该剧以美国作家乔治·R·R·马丁的奇幻巨作《冰与火之歌》七部曲为基础改编创作,由大卫·贝尼奥夫和丹尼尔·威斯编剧、HBO电视网推出。乔治·雷蒙德·理查德·马丁是欧美奇幻小说大师。马丁的作品主要以人物为关注点,描写细腻丰富,突破了幻想文学界固有的创作模式,多次引领阅读潮流。由于马丁的辉煌成就,他被誉为美国的托尔金和新世纪的海明威。从1989年开始,马丁淡出文学界,转而投身演艺界发展,1996年他才重返文坛而开始奇幻文学的创作,处女作便是《权力的游戏》,即为《冰与火之歌》的首部曲。《权力的游戏》甫出便拿下了British Fantasy Society、 世界奇幻奖和星云奖年度最佳幻想作品提名,在非官方的不记名奇幻作品投票中,《冰与火之歌》俨然已经可以和《魔戒》平起平坐,作者网站的访问量也是和斯蒂芬·金、J.K.罗琳等不相上下,其受欢迎的程度可见一斑。乔治马丁被时代杂志评选为2011年影响世界的一百人之一。
