 　　A pity you couldn't have been there, you would have been touched." He leaned forward intently. 只可惜您不在场，否则一定会大受感动。”他意图昭昭地往前靠。

　　"I trust you realize that you are a dead man, Lord Eddard?" “艾德大人，想必您知道自己在劫难逃吧？”

　　The queen will not kill me, Ned said. “王后不会杀我，”奈德说。

　　His head swam; the wine was strong, and it had been too long since he'd eaten. "Cat... Cat holds her brother... " 他开始头晕目眩；这酒太烈，他又太久没有进食。“凯特……凯特手里有她弟弟……”

　　The wrong brother, Varys sighed. "And lost to her, in any case. “但不是她爱的弟弟，”瓦里斯叹道，“而且这会儿也跑了。

　　She let the Imp¹ slip through her fingers. 显然是她让小恶魔从手里钻了出去。

　　I expect he is dead by now, somewhere in the Mountains of the Moon." 我看他现在多半已经死在明月山脉里某个不知名的地方了吧。”

　　If that is true, slit² my throat and have done with it. “倘若真是这样，那快快割了我喉咙，做个了结。”

　　He was dizzy from the wine, tired and heartsick. 酒劲上涌，他身心俱疲，头脑昏沉。

　　Your blood is the last thing I desire. “我对您的血一点兴趣都没有。”

　　Ned frowned. "When they slaughtered³ my guard, you stood beside the queen and watched, and said not a word." 奈德皱眉：“当他们屠杀我的手下时，你可是站在王后身边袖手旁观，一声不吭。”

　　And would again. I seem to recall that I was unarmed, unarmored, and surrounded by Lannister swords. “换做是现在，我还是会那么做。我记得自己当时不但手无寸铁，没盔没甲，还被兰尼斯特的武士团团围住。”

　　The eunuch looked at him curiously⁴, tilting⁵ his head. 太监歪着头，好奇地打量他。

　　"When I was a young boy, before I was cut, I traveled with a troupe⁶ of mummers through the Free Cities. “我小时候，还没被割之前，曾跟戏班子在自由贸易城邦巡回演出。

　　They taught me that each man has a role to play, in life as well as mummery. 他们教会我一件事，那就是每个人都有自己该扮演的角色，戏里戏外都一样。
