My wagons are still straggling through the city. I shall need appropriate garments.
我的马车还在城里半路上。我需要合适的衣服。
It will be my great pleasure, the steward said.
为您服务是我莫大的荣幸。总管道。
And so Ned had come striding into the council chambers, bone-tired and dressed in borrowed clothing, to find four members of the small council waiting for him.
于是，筋疲力尽的奈德，就这么穿着借来的衣服，大步走进议事厅，发现四名重臣正在等他。
The chamber was richly furnished. Myrish carpets covered the floor instead of rushes,
议事厅的陈设极为华丽。地板上铺的是密尔地毯，而非灯芯草席。
and in one corner a hundred fabulous beasts cavorted in bright paints on a carved screen from the Summer Isles.
房间一角摆着一幅来自盛夏群岛的木屏风，上面雕刻有上百种栩栩如生、色彩斑斓的珍禽异兽。
The walls were hung with tapestries from Norvos and Qohor and Lys, and a pair of Valyrian sphinxes flanked the door, eyes of polished garnet smoldering in black marble faces.
墙壁上则挂满了诺佛斯、科霍尔和里斯产的精美织锦。门两侧是一对瓦雷利亚的狮身人面兽雕像，圆润的红榴石双眼在黑色大理石的脸上显得炯炯有神。
The councillor Ned liked least, the eunuch Varys, accosted him the moment he entered. Lord Stark, I was grievous sad to hear about your troubles on the kingsroad.
奈德前脚刚踏进房间，几位重臣中他最嫌恶的太监瓦里斯便靠了过来。史塔克大人，我听说了您在国王大道上遇到的麻烦事儿，真令人遗憾哪。
We have all been visiting the sept to light candles for Prince Joffrey. I pray for his recovery.
我们都去圣堂为乔佛里王子点了蜡烛，祈祷他早日康复。
His hand left powder stains on Ned's sleeve, and he smelled as foul and sweet as flowers on a grave.
他的手在奈德袖子上留下脂粉的痕迹。他浑身散发出腐败的甜腻气息，闻起来活像生在坟墓上的花。
Your gods have heard you, Ned replied, cool yet polite. The prince grows stronger every day.
你的神想必听到了你的祷告，奈德冷淡而有礼地回答，王子的健康状况已日渐好转。
He disentangled himself from the eunuch's grip and crossed the room to where Lord Renly stood by the screen, talking quietly with a short man who could only be Littlefinger.
他从太监掌中抽出手，穿过房间朝蓝礼公爵走去。蓝礼正站在屏风旁，小声地和一名矮个男子交谈，那人必是小指头无疑。
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。
