Sansa rode to the Hand's tourney with Septa Mordane and Jeyne Poole, in a litter with curtains of yellow silk so fine she could see right through them. They turned the whole world gold. Beyond the city walls, a hundred pavilions had been raised beside the river, and the common folk came out in the thousands to watch the games. The splendor of it all took Sansa's breath away; the shining armor, the great chargers caparisoned in silver and gold, the shouts of the crowd, the banners snapping in the wind?.?.?.?and the knights themselves, the knights most of all.
珊莎与茉丹修女和珍妮·普尔乘着轿子前往首相的比武大会。轿子的帘幕是用黄丝织成,做工极为精细,她可以直接透过帘幕,看到远方,而帘幕把外面的世界染成了一片金黄。城墙外,河岸边,百余座帐篷已然搭起,数以千计的平民百姓前来观赏。比武大会的壮观教珊莎看得喘不过气:闪亮的铠甲,披金挂银的高大战马,群众的高声吆喝,风中飘荡的鲜明旗帜……还有那些骑士,尤其是那些骑士。
“It is better than the songs,” she whispered when they found the places that her father had promised her, among the high lords and ladies. Sansa was dressed beautifully that day, in a green gown that brought out the auburn of her hair, and she knew they were looking at her and smiling.
"这比歌谣里唱的还棒。"当她们在列席的领主和贵妇们中间找到父亲安排的座位时,她不禁轻声说。这天珊莎穿了一件绿色礼服,正好衬出她棕红色的头发,漂亮极了。她自知众人看着她的眼神里漾满笑意。
They watched the heroes of a hundred songs ride forth, each more fabulous than the last. The seven knights of the Kingsguard took the field, all but Jaime Lannister in scaled armor the color of milk, their cloaks as white as freshfallen snow. Ser Jaime wore the white cloak as well, but beneath it he was shining gold from head to foot, with a lion's-head helm and a golden sword. Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain That Rides, thundered past them like an avalanche. Sansa remembered Lord Yohn Royce, who had guested at Winterfell two years before. “His armor is bronze, thousands and thousands of years old, engraved with magic runes that ward him against harm,” she whispered to Jeyne. Septa Mordane pointed out Lord Jason Mallister, in indigo chased with silver, the wings of an eagle on his helm. He had cut down three of Rhaegar's bannermen on the Trident. The girls giggled over the warrior priest Thoros of Myr, with his flapping red robes and shaven head, until the septa told them that he had once scaled the walls of Pyke with a flaming sword in hand.
她们看着千百条歌谣里描述的英雄跃然眼前,一个比一个英姿焕发。御林七铁卫是全场焦点,除了詹姆·兰尼斯特,他们全都身着牛奶色的鳞甲,披风洁白犹如初雪。詹姆爵士也穿了白披风,但他从头到脚金光闪闪,还有一顶狮头盔和黄金宝剑。外号"魔山"的格雷果·克里冈爵士以山崩之势轰隆隆地经过他们面前。珊莎还记得约恩·罗伊斯伯爵,他两年前到过临冬城作客。"他的铠甲是青铜做的,有好几千年的历史,上面刻了魔法符咒,保护他不受伤害。"她悄悄对珍妮说。茉丹修女在人群中指出一身蓝紫滚银边披风,头戴一顶鹰翼盔的杰森·梅利斯特伯爵给她们看。当年在三叉戟河上他一人就斩了雷加手下三名诸侯。女孩们看到密尔的战僧索罗斯是个大光头,一身宽松红袍在风中拍动不休,不禁咯咯直笑,直到修女告诉她们他曾手持冒火长剑,独自攻上派克城墙,她们方才止住。

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。
