You are a young man, Tyrion, Mormont said. How many winters have you seen? 提利昂,你还年轻,莫尔蒙道,经历过几个冬天?
He shrugged 1. Eight, nine. I misremember. 他耸耸肩。八九个罢,我记不清了。
And all of them short. 而且都不长,对吧?
As you say, my lord. He had been born in the dead of winter, a terrible cruel one that the maesters said had lasted near three years, 您说得没错,大人。他降生于严冬之际,据学士们说,那是特别酷寒的一次冬天,整整长达三年之久,
but Tyrion's earliest memories were of spring. 然而提利昂最早的记忆却是春季。
When I was a boy, it was said that a long summer always meant a long winter to come. 我打小的时候,便听说接着长夏而来的会是更漫长的冬季。
This summer has lasted nine years, Tyrion, and a tenth will soon be upon us. Think on that. 这次的夏天已经过了九年,提利昂,很快便要进入第十个年头。想想看这意味着什么罢。
When I was a boy, Tyrion replied, my wet nurse told me that one day, if men were good, the gods would give the world a summer without ending. 而我小时候呢,提利昂应道,我奶妈告诉我,倘若有朝一日,人们都能和睦相处,知礼向善,那么诸神便会让盛夏永无止尽。
Perhaps we've been better than we thought, and the Great Summer is finally at hand. He grinned. 说不定是咱们表现得比意料中好,而传说中的永夏已经降临了哪。他嘻嘻一笑。
The Lord Commander did not seem amused. You are not fool enough to believe that, my lord. Already the days grow shorter. 守夜人军团总司令却没有开玩笑的心情。大人,您不会蠢到相信这种事的。白昼已经渐渐缩短,
There can be no mistake, Aemon has had letters from the Citadel 2, findings in accord 3 with his own. The end of summer stares us in the face. 这千真万确。伊蒙收到过学城寄来的信,与他的推论不谋而合。夏日将尽已是不容置疑的事实。
Mormont reached out and clutched 4 Tyrion tightly 5 by the hand. You must make them understand. 莫尔蒙伸手紧紧抓住提利昂。你一定得教他们了解事态的严重性。
I tell you, my lord, the darkness is coming. 我告诉你,大人,前所未有的黑暗时代即将来临。
There are wild things in the woods, direwolves and mammoths and snow bears the size of aurochs, and I have seen darker shapes in my dreams. 森林里各种怪兽出没,有冰原狼、长毛象和野牛一般大的雪熊,我还梦见过更可怕的东西。
