When he was gone, Dany went to her window and looked out wistfully on the waters of the bay. The square brick towers of Pentos were black silhouettes outlined against the setting sun. Dany could hear the singing of the red priests as they lit their night fires and the shouts of ragged children playing games beyond the walls of the estate. For a moment she wished she could be out there with them, barefoot and breathless and dressed in tatters, with no past and no future and no feast to attend at Khal Drogo’s manse.

他离开後,丹妮走到窗边,思慕地望著海湾。潘托斯的方砖高塔是斜阳残照里的黑色翦影,丹妮可以听见红袍僧点燃夜火时的诵唱祝祷,以及高墙外孩童玩耍时的笑闹喧哗。就在那一刹那,她好希望自己能在外面和他们一起赤足嬉戏,穿著破烂衣裳喘著气,没有过去,没有未来,也不用参加卓戈卡奥的宅邸晚宴。

Somewhere beyond the sunset, across the narrow sea, lay a land of green hills and flowered plains and great rushing rivers, where towers of dark stone rose amidst magnificent blue-grey mountains, and armored knights rode to battle beneath the banners of their lords. The Dothraki called that land Rhaesh Andahli, the land of the Andals. In the Free Cities, they talked of Westeros and the Sunset Kingdoms. Her brother had a simpler name. “Our land,” he called it. The words were like a prayer with him. If he said them enough, the gods were sure to hear. “Ours by blood right, taken from us by treachery, but ours still, ours forever. You do not steal from the dragon, oh, no. The dragon remembers.”

在夕阳狭海的彼岸,有个青陵纵横,花开平野,深河奔涌的地方,那里有高耸於壮丽灰蓝峰峦间的黑石巨塔,有高举鲜明旗帜赶赴沙场的铁甲武土。多斯拉克人称呼那个地方为「雷叙·安达里」,意思是「安达尔人之地」。在自由城邦里,人们则称之为「维斯特洛」和「日落国度」,哥哥有个更简单的说法,他称之为「我们的土地」。这个名字就像句祷词,彷佛只要他说得次数够多,就定能上达天听。「那是我们龙族血脉所继承的土地,虽然遭人以阴谋诡计所夺,但仍然属於我们,永远属於我们。没有人能从真龙手中偷走东西,门都没有,因为真龙凡事都永远记得。」
