 　　Caravan¹ guards wandered among the aisles³ in copper⁴ helmets and knee-length tunics⁵ of quilted yellow cotton, 商队守卫戴着赤铜盔，身披加衬里的黄棉及膝长袍，逡巡于过道之间，

　　empty scabbards swinging from their woven leather belts. 空空的剑鞘悬荡在皮腰带上。

　　Behind one stall an armorer displayed steel breastplates worked with gold and silver in ornate patterns, 一个盔甲师父站在摊贩后面，展示着用金银雕饰的精钢胸甲，

　　rings and brooches and torcs and exquisitely⁶ wrought⁷ medallions suitable for belting. 包括戒指、胸针、手镯和精工雕琢、可做成腰带的奖章。

　　A huge eunuch guarded her stall, mute and hairless, dressed in sweat-stained velvets and scowling⁸ at anyone who came close. 她身旁站了一个高大魁梧的太监，不发一语、全身无毛，汗水渗透了他的天鹅绒衣服，他对每个靠近的人都皱眉怒视。

　　Across the aisle², a fat cloth trader from Yi Ti was haggling⁹ with a Pentoshi over the price of some green dye, 走道对面，一位来自夷地的肥胖布商正和一个潘托斯人争论某种绿色染料的价钱，他不停摇头，

　　the monkey tail on his hat swaying back and forth¹⁰ as he shook his head. 帽子上的猴尾巴也跟着前后晃动。

　　"When I was a little girl, I loved to play in the bazaar," Dany told Sir Jorah as they wandered down the shady aisle between the stalls. “我小时候最喜欢在市集里玩。”丹妮一边同乔拉爵士穿梭于摊位间的遮荫过道，一边对他说，

　　"It was so alive there, all the people shouting and laughing, so many wonderful things to look at... “那里最有活力了，到处都是人，又叫又笑，还有好多新奇事物……

　　though we seldom had enough coin to buy anything... well, except for a sausage now and again, or honeyfingers...  虽然我们通常什么也买不起……嗯，除了偶尔买条香肠，或是蜂蜜棒……
