冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第1118期:第五十三章 提利昂(10)

 　　How is King Joffrey taking the news? Tyrion asked with a certain black amusement. “乔佛里国王对此事有何反应？”提利昂带着某种黑色的兴致发问。

　　Cersei has not seen fit to tell him yet, Lord¹ Tywin said. "She fears he might insist on marching against Renly himself." “瑟曦认为现在还不宜告诉他，”泰温公爵说，“她恐怕他会坚持亲自出兵征讨蓝礼。”

　　With what army? Tyrion asked. "You don't plan to give him this one, I hope?" “出兵？哪来的军队？”提利昂问，“你该不会打算把这支军队交给他吧？”

　　He talks of leading the City Watch, Lord Tywin said. “他曾宣称要率领都城守卫队出征。”泰温公爵道。

　　If he takes the Watch, he'll leave the city undefended, Sir Kevan said. "And with Lord Stannis on Dragonstone... " “他带走都城守卫队，城里势必防御空虚，”凯冯爵士说，“那么龙石岛的史坦尼斯公爵……”

　　Yes. Lord Tywin looked down at his son. “是的。”泰温公爵睥睨着侏儒儿子。

　　"I had thought you were the one made for motley, Tyrion, but it would appear that I was wrong." “提利昂，我原以为你生来只有杂耍的份，不过看来我是错了。”

　　Why, Father, said Tyrion, "that almost sounds like praise." “哟，老爸，”提利昂说，“听起来好像赞美哩。”

　　He leaned forward intently². "What of Stannis? He's the elder, not Renly. How does he feel about his brother's claim?" 他笑着往前靠去。“那么，史坦尼斯方面有何行动？他才是长兄，蓝礼只是三子。对于弟弟称王一事，他有何反应？”

　　His father frowned³. "I have felt from the beginning that Stannis was a greater danger than all the others combined. 父亲皱眉道：“从一开始，我就认为史坦尼斯比其他所有人加起来还要危险，

　　Yet he does nothing. Oh, Varys hears his whispers. 但他却毫无动静。嗯，瓦里斯是有些情报，

　　Stannis is building ships, Stannis is hiring sellswords, Stannis is bringing a shadowbinder from Asshai. 比如史坦尼斯正在建造船只，史坦尼斯正在招募佣兵，还说史坦尼斯从亚夏找来一个缚影师，

　　What does it mean? Is any of it true?" He gave an irritated⁴ shrug⁵. "Kevan, bring us the map." 可这究竟代表着什么？其中又有多少属实？”他有些恼怒地耸耸肩。“凯冯，拿地图来。”

　　Sir Kevan did as he was bid. Lord Tywin unrolled the leather, smoothing it flat. 凯冯爵士即刻照办。泰温公爵展开皮地图，将之摊平。
