Among the Dothraki, mothers stayed on horseback almost up to the moment of birth, and she did not want to seem weak in her husband's eyes. But with the khal off hunting, it was pleasant to lie back on soft cushions and be carried across Vaes Dothrak, with red silk curtains to shield her from the sun. Sir Jorah saddled up and rode beside her, with the four young men of her khas and her handmaids.
多斯拉克女性即使怀孕也依旧骑马,只有临盆前夕才是例外,她自然不想在丈夫眼中自承虚弱。不过,既然卡奥已经外出打猎,她便可舒服地躺在靠垫上,坐轿子让人抬着穿越维斯·多斯拉克,还有红丝帷幕为她遮挡骄阳。乔拉爵士策马骑行在她身边,同行的还有四名年轻的卡斯部众与三位女仆。
The day was warm and cloudless, the sky a deep blue. When the wind blew, she could smell the rich scents of grass and earth. As her litter passed beneath the stolen monuments, she went from sunlight to shadow and back again. Dany swayed along, studying the faces of dead heroes and forgotten kings. She wondered if the gods of burned cities could still answer prayers.
天气和煦无云,晴空湛蓝。微风吹起,她闻到青草和土地的浓郁芬香。轿子从夺自异邦的神祗雕像下经过,她也随之脱离目光,进入阴影,接着再返回日光。一路上,丹妮随着轿子轻轻摇晃,审视着故去的英雄和被遗忘的国王们的脸庞,不知那些曾受人崇敬,如今信徒的城市早已付之一炬的诸神,是否依旧能应许她的祈祷。
If I were not the blood of the dragon, she thought wistfully, this could be my home. She was khaleesi, she had a strong man and a swift horse, handmaids to serve her, warriors to keep her safe, an honored place in the dosh khaleen awaiting her when she grew old... and in her womb grew a son who would one day bestride the world. That should be enough for any woman... but not for the dragon. With Viserys gone, Daenerys was the last, the very last. She was the seed of kings and conquerors, and so too the child inside her. She must not forget.
假如我不是真龙血脉,她满心思慕地想,这里就会是我的家。她身为卡丽熙,有一个强壮的男人和一匹迅捷的马,还有服侍她的女仆、保护她的武士,年老之后,还有多希卡林受人敬重的地位等着她……而且,在她的子宫里,那有朝一日将统御世界的儿子正日渐成长,对任何女人来说,都应该心满意足……然而对真龙来说,这样却是不够的。韦赛里斯既死,丹妮莉丝便是独一无二的真龙传人,她是国王与征服者的后裔,她体内的孩子也将继承这样的命运。她不敢忘却。
