冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第522期:第二十七章 艾德(59)

 　　A small army of slaves had gone ahead to prepare for Khal Drogo's arrival.  为了迎接卓戈卡奥，大队奴隶已在前等候。

　　As each rider swung down from his saddle, he unbelted his arakh and handed it to a waiting slave, and any other weapons he carried as well.  每个人下马后，便解开腰际的亚拉克弯刀，以及随身携带的其他武器，交给旁边的奴隶，

　　Even Khal Drogo himself was not exempt¹.  连卓戈卡奥也不例外。

　　Ser Jorah had explained that it was forbidden to carry a blade in Vaes Dothrak, or to shed a free man's blood.  乔拉爵士事前曾解释道：在维斯·多斯拉克城里禁止携带武器，也不能伤害其他自由人。

　　Even warring khalasars put aside their feuds² and shared meat and mead³ together when they were in sight of the Mother of Mountains.  在圣母山的注视下，即便正在交战的卡拉萨，也会暂时捐弃成见，共饮蜜酒作乐。

　　In this place, the crones of the dosh khaleen had decreed, all Dothraki were one blood, one khalasar, one herd⁴. 根据多希卡林女祭司的律令，在这个地方，所有的多斯拉克人都是血脉同源，属于同一个卡拉萨，同一个族群。

　　Cohollo came to Dany as Irri and Jhiqui were helping⁵ her down off her silver.  伊丽和姬琪扶丹妮下马时，科霍罗过来找她。
