冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第969期:第四十六章 提利昂(5)

 　　He caught the scent¹ of garlic sausage, spiced and savory², so tempting³ it made his empty stomach growl⁴. 他闻到蒜肠的香味，辛辣又可口，令他空空的肚腹饥肠辘辘。

　　Away in the distance, he heard voices raised in some bawdy⁵ song. 他听见远处有人唱起情色小曲，

　　A giggling⁶ woman raced past him, naked beneath a dark cloak, her drunken pursuer stumbling over tree roots. 一个女人咯咯笑着从身边跑过，身上只盖了件深色斗篷，一个醉酒的人追在她后面，没两步就被树根绊倒。

　　Farther on, two spearmen faced each other across a little trickle⁷ of a stream, 更远的地方，两名长矛兵隔着小溪，

　　practicing their thrust-and-parry in the fading light, their chests bare and slick with sweat. 就着渐渐黯淡的天光，练习格挡和突刺的技巧，赤裸的胸膛上大汗淋漓。

　　No one looked at him. No one spoke⁸ to him. No one paid him any mind. 无人看他一眼，无人与他交谈，无人注意到他。

　　He was surrounded by men sworn to House Lannister, a vast host twenty thousand strong, and yet he was alone. 在他周围，全是宣誓效忠兰尼斯特家族的部属，一共多达两万人的庞大军团。然而他，却孤独无依。

　　When he heard the deep rumble⁹ of Shagga's laughter booming through the dark, 后来，他总算听到夏嘎低沉浑厚的笑声透过夜色轰隆传来，便循着笑声，

　　he followed it to the Stone Crows in their small corner of the night. 找到石鸦部过夜的小角落。

　　Conn son of Coratt waved a tankard of ale. 科拉特之子康恩朝他挥挥一大杯麦酒。

　　"Tyrion Halfman! Come, sit by our fire, share meat with the Stone Crows. We have an ox." “半人提利昂！过来，来我们火边坐坐，跟石鸦部一起吃肉，我们弄到一头牛。”

　　I can see that, Conn son of Coratt. “我看到了，科拉特之子康恩。”

　　The huge red carcass was suspended over a roaring fire, skewered¹⁰ on a spit the size of a small tree. 巨大的血红牛尸被架在熊熊营火之上，用一根粗如小树的烤肉叉串起。

　　No doubt it was a small tree.  恐怕那根叉子原本就是一棵小树罢。
