So long as the meat was seared, they gulped down several times their own weight every day, and at last began to grow larger and stronger. Dany marveled at the smoothness of their scales, and the heat that poured off them, so palpable that on cold nights their whole bodies seemed to steam.
从此，只要肉是烧过的，他们便每日吞下数倍体重的份量，终于渐渐茁壮。丹妮对他们光滑的鳞片颇感惊奇，龙鳞还会散发热气，到了寒冷的夜里尤其明显，彷佛全身都在冒烟。
Each evenfall as the khalasai set out, she would choose a dragon to ride upon her shoulder. Irri and Jhiqui carried the others in a cage of woven wood slung between their mounts, and rode close behind her, so Dany was never out of their sight. It was the only way to keep them quiescent.
每天傍晚，当卡拉萨拔营出发时，她都会挑一只龙骑负在肩。另外两只则关进一个木条笼子，挂在伊丽和姬琪的坐骑之间。她俩紧跟在后，丹妮决不容他们离开自己的视线，也唯有如此，才能令他们平静下来。
Aegon's dragons were named for the gods of Old Valyria, she told her bloodriders one morning after a long night's journey. "Visenya's dragon was Vhagar, Rhaenys had Meraxes, and Aegon rode Balerion, the Black Dread. It was said that Vhagar's breath was so hot that it could melt a knight's armor and cook the man inside, that Meraxes swallowed horses whole, and Balerion... his fire was as black as his scales, his wings so vast that whole towns were swallowed up in their shadow when he passed overhead."
“伊耿的龙取了远古瓦雷利亚神祗的名讳，”某天早上，经过整夜跋涉，她对自己的血盟卫说，“维桑尼亚的龙名叫瓦格哈尔，雷妮丝的是米拉西斯，伊耿自己骑着‘黑死神’贝勒里恩。据说瓦格哈尔呼出的气息温度极高，可以融化骑士铠甲，并把盔甲里的人活活烤熟。米拉西斯能连人带马一口吞下，至于贝勒里恩……它吐出的火焰如它的鳞片一般漆黑如夜，双翼的阴影足可遮住繁华市镇。”
The Dothraki looked at her hatchlings uneasily. The largest of her three was shiny black, his scales slashed with streaks of vivid scarlet to match his wings and horns. "Khaleesi," Aggo murmured, "there sits Balerion, come again."
多斯拉克武士有些不安地看着孵化不久的小龙。其中最大的一只浑身黑亮，黑鳞上穿插着猩红条纹，与翅膀和角的色泽遥相呼应。“卡丽熙，”阿戈小声说，“那就是贝勒里恩，他投胎转世了。”
