Who do you belong to, boy? the septa demanded. Answer me. What's wrong with you, are you mute?
小弟弟，你是谁家的孩子？修女质问，告诉我。你怎么了？你是哑巴吗？
Arya's voice caught in her throat. If she answered, Tommen and Myrcella would know her for certain.
艾莉亚的话音卡在喉咙里。如果她出声回答，托曼和弥赛菈一定会认出她来。
Godwyn, bring him here, the septa said. The taller of the guardsmen started down the alley.
高德温，把他带过来。修女说。长得较高的那名卫士朝小巷的这边走来。
Panic gripped her throat like a giant's hand. Arya could not have spoken if her life had hung on it. Calm as still water, she mouthed silently.
恐慌如巨人的手攫住她的喉咙，艾莉亚知道自己命悬于此，不发出半点声音。止如水，她在心里默念。
As Godwyn reached for her, Arya moved. Quick as a snake. She leaned to her left, letting his fingers brush her arm, spinning around him. Smooth as summer silk. By the time he got himself turned, she was sprinting down the alley. Swift as a deer. The septa was screeching at her. Arya slid between legs as thick and white as marble columns, bounded to her feet, bowled into Prince Tommen and hopped over him when he sat down hard and said Oof, spun away from the second guard, and then she was past them all, running full out.
就在高德温伸手的前一刻，艾莉亚采取了行动。迅如蛇。她重心左移，他的手指擦臂而过。她绕过他。柔如丝。待他转身，她已朝巷口飞奔而去。疾如鹿。修女朝她尖叫，艾莉亚从她两条粗得像白色大理石柱的腿中间钻过去，站起身，迎面撞上托曼王子，他哎哟一声重重坐倒。她从他身上跳过，闪开第二个侍卫，然后她便摆脱他们，全速逃走。
She heard shouts, then pounding footsteps, closing behind her. She dropped and rolled. The red cloak went careening past her, stumbling. Arya sprang back to her feet. She saw a window above her, high and narrow, scarcely more than an arrow slit. Arya leapt, caught the sill, pulled herself up. She held her breath as she wriggled through. Slippery as an eel.
她听见叫喊，紧接着是砰砰砰的脚步迅速朝她逼近。她身子一蹲，着地滚开。红衣卫士踉跄着冲过她身边，差点跌倒。艾莉亚一跃起身，看到头上有扇又高又窄的窗子，比城墙上的射箭孔大不了多少，便向上一跳，攀住窗台，往上拉升，闭着气往里挤。滑如鳗。

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。
