冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第862期:第四十章 提利昂(12)

 　　He has that fat jape of a priest with him, the one who likes to set his sword on fire. 还有他带在身边的那个痴肥僧侣，最爱让剑喷火的那位。

　　Do you think you might be able to deal with them as you scamper¹ off? 你能发挥你逃跑的本事，去对付他们么？

　　Without making too much a botch of it?" 当然，不能给我捅出更大的漏子。”

　　Tyrion wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and smiled. 提利昂用手背抹抹嘴，微笑道：

　　"Father, it warms my heart to think that you might entrust² me with... what, twenty men? Fifty? “父亲，知道您这么信任我真教人感动，嗯，您要给我……二十个人？五十个？

　　Are you sure you can spare so many? 您确定拨得出这许多人手？

　　Well, no matter. If I should come across Thoros and Lord Beric, I shall spank³ them both." 唉，没关系，假如我碰上索罗斯和贝里大人，一定好好揍他们一顿屁股。”

　　He climbed down from his chair and waddled⁴ to the sideboard, where a wheel of veined white cheese sat surrounded by fruit. 他爬下椅子，摇摇摆摆地走向餐具柜，柜子上摆了一盘白乳酪，周围放着水果。

　　"First, though, I have some promises of my own to keep," he said as he sliced off a wedge. “不过首先，我得实现我的诺言。”他边说边切下一块奶酪。

　　"I shall require three thousand helms and as many hauberks, “我要三千顶头盔，三千套锁甲、

　　plus swords, pikes, steel spearheads, maces, battleaxes, gauntlets, gorgets, greaves, breastplates, wagons⁵ to carry all this..." 剑、长枪、钢制矛头、钉头锤、战斧、铁手套、颈甲、护膝、胸甲，以及用来载运这些东西的马车——”

　　The door behind him opened with a crash, so violently that Tyrion almost dropped his cheese. 身后的门轰然撞开，力道刚猛，提利昂差点松开手上的食物。

　　Sir Kevan leapt up swearing as the captain of the guard went flying across the room to smash against the hearth⁶. 凯冯爵士咒骂着跳起来，侍卫队长整个人飞过房间，撞上壁炉，
