Ser Barristan Selmy chuckled with him. Even Eddard Stark managed a smile. Always, though, the graver thoughts crept in. He could not help taking note of the two squires: handsome boys, fair and well made. One was Sansa's age, with long golden curls; the other perhaps fifteen, sandy-haired, with a wisp of a mustache and the emerald-green eyes of the queen.
巴利斯坦·赛尔弥爵士跟着呵呵笑了，就连艾德·史塔克也露出了微笑。然而，他没法不在意那两个侍僮：他们都是漂亮小伙子，皮肤白晰，体态匀称。生着金色卷发的那个年纪和珊莎差不多，另外那个约莫十五，黄棕色头发，一点小胡子，有着和王后一样的翡翠绿眸。
Ah, I wish I could be there to see Santagar's face, Robert said. I hope he'll have the wit to send them to someone else. We ought to keep them running all day!
啊，我真想瞧瞧桑塔加听了脸上是什么表情.劳勃道，他如果有点脑子，就会支他们去找别人。我们就让他俩成天跑个没完！
Those boys, Ned asked him. Lannisters?
这两个小伙子，奈德问他，是兰尼斯特家的人？
Robert nodded, wiping tears from his eyes. Cousins. Sons of Lord Tywin's brother. One of the dead ones. Or perhaps the live one, now that I come to think on it. I don't recall. My wife comes from a very large family, Ned.
劳勃点头，一边擦掉笑出的眼泪。她的两个堂弟，泰温大人他老弟的儿子，那些个死掉的老弟，我想想，又好像是活着的那个，我不记得了。奈德，我老婆来自一个很大的家族。
A very ambitious family, Ned thought. He had nothing against the squires, but it troubled him to see Robert surrounded by the queen's kin, waking and sleeping. The Lannister appetite for offices and honors seemed to know no bounds. The talk is you and the queen had angry words last night.
也是一个野心勃勃的家族，奈德心想。他对这两个侍从本身并无意见，但看到劳勃身边日夜都是王后的亲戚，却不免担心。兰尼斯特家对权位和荣耀真是贪得无厌。听说您昨晚和王后闹不愉快了？
The mirth curdled on Robert's face. The woman tried to forbid me to fight in the melee. She's sulking in the castle now, damn her. Your sister would never have shamed me like that.
劳勃脸上的欢乐顿时结冻。那死女人想阻止我参加今天的团体比武，这会儿她还窝在城堡里生闷气，气死算了。你妹妹绝不会这样羞辱我。
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。
