冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第822期:第三十八章 丹妮莉丝(12)

 　　The merchant must have taken her for Dothraki, with her clothes and her oiled hair and sun-browned skin. 由于她的衣着、抹油的头发和晒黑的皮肤，那商人原本一定把她当成多斯拉克人了，

　　When she spoke¹, he gaped² at her in astonishment³. 所以当她开口说话时，他吃惊地张大了嘴。

　　"My lady, you are... Tyroshi? Can it be so?" “尊贵的夫人，您是……泰洛西人吗？是么？”

　　My speech may be Tyroshi, and my garb⁴ Dothraki, but I am of Westeros, of the Sunset Kingdoms, Dany told him. “我说话或许有泰洛西口音，穿的或许是多斯拉克服饰，但我却是日落国度的维斯特洛人。”丹妮告诉他。

　　Doreah stepped up beside her. 多莉亚走到她身边。

　　"You have the honor to address Daenerys of the House Targaryen, Daenerys Stormborn, khaleesi of the riding men and princess of the Seven Kingdoms." “你有幸与马上民族的卡丽熙、七大王国的公主，坦格利安家族的‘风暴降生’丹妮莉丝说话。”

　　The wine merchant dropped to his knees. 酒商连忙跪下。

　　"Princess," he said, bowing his head. “公主殿下。”他低头道。

　　Rise, Dany commanded him. "I would still like to taste that summerwine you spoke of." “起来吧，”丹妮命令他，“我还想尝尝你的夏日红呢。”

　　The man bounded to his feet. "That? Dornish swill⁵. It is not worthy⁶ of a princess. 商人一跃起身，“您是说刚才那个？那是多恩的猪饲料，配不上公主您的。

　　I have a dry red from the Arbor⁷, crisp and delectable⁸. Please, let me give you a cask." 我有一种青亭岛产的干红，喝起来既甘甜又爽口。请让我荣幸地送您一桶罢。”

　　Khal Drogo's visits to the Free Cities had given him a taste for good wine, and Dany knew that such a noble vintage would please him. 卓戈卡奥在几次做客自由贸易城邦的过程中，养成了对好酒的喜爱，丹妮知道如此名贵的陈酿定会讨他欢心。

　　"You honor me, ser," she murmured sweetly. “您太客气了，先生。”她甜甜地轻声说。

　　The honor is mine. “这是我的荣幸。”

　　The merchant rummaged⁹ about in the back of his stall and produced a small oaken cask. 商人在摊位后面翻找半天，拿出一个小木桶。

　　Burned into the wood was a cluster of grapes. 桶子的木头上烙了葡萄串的图案。

　　"The Redwyne sigil," he said, pointing, "for the Arbor. There is no finer drink." “这是雷德温家族的标志，”他指着说，“青亭岛的特产，世上没有比这更好的东西。”
