(单词翻译:单击)

Making noise, Mord growled, with blood in his eyes. Dangling from one meaty hand was a leather strap, wide and thick, doubled over in his fist.
好吵。莫德满眼血丝地咆哮道。他一只肥手里握着一条又粗又宽的皮带,对折了抓在掌心。
Never show them you're afraid, Tyrion reminded himself. How would you like to be rich? he asked.
别让他们知道你害怕,提利昂提醒自己。你想不想发财?他问。
Mord hit him. He swung the strap backhand, lazily, but the leather caught Tyrion high on the arm.
莫德揍他。他反手懒懒地挥出皮带,打中提利昂上臂。
The force of it staggered him, and the pain made him grit his teeth. No mouth, dwarf man, Mord warned him.
力道震得他脚步不稳,痛得他咬紧牙根。矮冬瓜,别吵。莫德警告他。
Gold, Tyrion said, miming a smile. Casterly Rock is full of gold...ahhhh...
金子,提利昂装出笑,凯岩城里到处都是金子…啊啊啊…
This time the blow was a forehand, and Mord put more of his arm into the swing, making the leather crack and jump.
这回莫德用了力,皮带一声爆裂,自他手中蹦跳到提利昂肋骨上,痛得他当即跪下呻吟。
It caught Tyrion in the ribs and dropped him to his knees, wimpering.
他强迫自己抬头看着狱卒。跟兰尼斯特家一样有钱,
He forced himself to look up at the gaoler. As rich as the Lannisters, he wheezed. That's what they say, Mord...
他呼吸困难地说,他们不都这样说么?莫德—
Mord grunted. The strap whistled through the air and smashed Tyrion full in the face.
莫德咕哝一声,皮带划破空气,正中提利昂面门。
The pain was so bad he did not remember falling, but when he opened his eyes again he was on the floor of his cell.
他天旋地转,连自己是如何摔倒都不记得。
His ear was ringing, and his mouth was full of blood. He groped for purchase, to push himself up, and his fingers brushed against...nothing.
再睁眼时,他发现人躺在牢房地上,耳鸣不已,满嘴是血。他伸手想找个支撑爬起来,结果手指摸到的却是…什么也没有。
Tyrion snatched his hand back as fast as if it had been scalded, and tried his best to stop breathing. He had fallen right on the edge, inches from the blue.
提利昂飞快地抽回手,仿佛被烫到似的,憋气不敢呼吸。他刚好落在山崖边,距离蓝天只有几寸之遥。

背景介绍:

《权力的游戏》是一部中世纪史诗奇幻题材的电视连续剧。该剧以美国作家乔治·R·R·马丁的奇幻巨作《冰与火之歌》七部曲为基础改编创作,由大卫·贝尼奥夫和丹尼尔·威斯编剧、HBO电视网推出。乔治·雷蒙德·理查德·马丁是欧美奇幻小说大师。马丁的作品主要以人物为关注点,描写细腻丰富,突破了幻想文学界固有的创作模式,多次引领阅读潮流。由于马丁的辉煌成就,他被誉为美国的托尔金和新世纪的海明威。从1989年开始,马丁淡出文学界,转而投身演艺界发展,1996年他才重返文坛而开始奇幻文学的创作,处女作便是《权力的游戏》,即为《冰与火之歌》的首部曲。《权力的游戏》甫出便拿下了British Fantasy Society、 世界奇幻奖和星云奖年度最佳幻想作品提名,在非官方的不记名奇幻作品投票中,《冰与火之歌》俨然已经可以和《魔戒》平起平坐,作者网站的访问量也是和斯蒂芬·金、J.K.罗琳等不相上下,其受欢迎的程度可见一斑。乔治马丁被时代杂志评选为2011年影响世界的一百人之一。
