冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第678期:第三十二章 丹妮莉丝(20)

 　　He kicked and twisted, whimpered like a dog and wept like a child, but the Dothraki held him tight between them.  他又踢又扭，像狗一样呜咽，像小孩似地啼哭，但几个多斯拉克人牢牢地把他抓住。

　　Sir Jorah had made his way to Dany's side.  乔拉爵士走到丹妮身边，

　　He put a hand on her shoulder. 伸手按住她的肩膀。

　　"Turn away, my princess, I beg you." “公主殿下，请您转过头，我求求您。”

　　No. She folded her arms across the swell¹ of her belly², protectively. “不。”她双手抱住隆起的肚腹，下意识地保护受威胁的孩子。

　　At the last, Viserys looked at her. 最后，韦赛里斯望向她。

　　"Sister, please...Dany, tell them...make them...sweet sister..." “妹妹，请你……丹妮，告诉他们……让他们……好妹妹……”

　　When the gold was half-melted and starting to run, Drogo reached into the flames, snatched out the pot.  当黄金融化了一半，正开始沸腾时，卓戈伸手到烈焰中抓起锅子。

　　"Crown!" he roared. "Here. A crown for Cart King!" “王冠！”他咆哮道，“来，给马车国王戴的王冠！”

　　And upended the pot over the head of the man who had been her brother. 说完便朝那个曾是她哥哥的人当头浇下。

　　The sound Viserys Targaryen made when that hideous³ iron helmet covered his face was like nothing human. 那顶狰狞的铁盔遮盖住韦赛里斯·坦格利安的脸庞时，他所发出的声音，只能以惨绝人寰来形容。

　　His feet hammered a frantic⁴ beat against the dirt floor, slowed, stopped. 他的双脚在泥地上狂乱地蹬了几下，渐缓，终止。

　　Thick globs of molten gold dripped down onto his chest, setting the scarlet⁵ silk to smoldering⁶...yet no drop of blood was spilled. 半液态的金块滴落他的胸膛，鲜红的丝衣嘶嘶冒烟……但他没有流出一滴血。

　　He was no dragon, Dany thought, curiously⁷ calm. Fire cannot kill a dragon. 他不是真龙，丹妮暗想，思绪意外地平静，真龙不怕火。
