The girl was wet with love. She would have done anything for Joffrey, until he cut off her father's head and called it mercy. That put an end to that.
“这小丫头情窦初开,只盼能和乔佛里在一起,叫她做什么都愿意。没料到他竟然砍了她父亲的头,还把这称为‘手下留情’,这下她的爱情梦可破灭了。”
His Grace has a unique way of winning the hearts of his subjects, Tyrion said with a crooked smile. "Was it Joffrey's wish to dismiss Ser Barristan Selmy from his Kingsguard too?"
“哈,陛下他赢得爱戴的方式可真是独树一帜。”提利昂咧嘴笑道,“将巴利斯坦·赛尔弥爵士从御林铁卫中革职,想必也是乔佛里的意思啰?”
Cersei sighed. "Joff wanted someone to blame for Robert's death. Varys suggested Ser Barristan. Why not? It gave Jaime command of the Kingsguard and a seat on the small council, and allowed Joff to throw a bone to his dog. He is very fond of Sandor Clegane. We were prepared to offer Selmy some land and a towerhouse, more than the useless old fool deserved."
瑟曦叹道:“乔佛里想找人为劳勃的死负责,瓦里斯便提议拿巴利斯坦爵士开刀,这也没什么不好,一方面,詹姆得以指挥御林铁卫,并跻身朝廷重臣,另一方面,小乔也有了喂狗的骨头。他很喜欢桑铎·克里冈。我们本打算赏给赛尔弥一点封地,一座塔堡,那一无是处的老头子本不配这种待遇。”
I hear that useless old fool slew two of Slynt's gold cloaks when they tried to seize him at the Mud Gate.
“我听说史林特手下两个金袍子想在烂泥门逮捕他,结果被这一无是处的老头子给宰了。”
His sister looked very unhappy. "Janos should have sent more men. He is not as competent as might be wished."
姐姐一脸不悦,“杰诺斯该多派些人去,他的办事能力实在不如预期。”
Ser Barristan was the Lord Commander of Robert Baratheon's Kingsguard, Tyrion reminded her pointedly. "He and Jaime are the only survivors of Aerys Targaryen's seven. The smallfolk talk of him in the same way they talk of Serwyn of the Mirror Shield and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight. What do you imagine they'll think when they see Barristan the Bold riding beside Robb Stark or Stannis Baratheon?"
“巴利斯坦·赛尔弥爵士是劳勃·拜拉席恩的御林铁卫队长,”提利昂刻意提醒她,“当初伊里斯·坦格利安的七铁卫中,只有他和詹姆存活在世。老百姓说起他,就像‘镜盾’萨文和‘龙骑士’伊蒙王子再世一般。倘若他们看到‘无畏的’巴利斯坦与罗柏·史塔克或史坦尼斯·拜拉席恩并肩作战,你觉得他们会作何感想?”
