It was very dark right now, she realized. She hugged her bare knees tight against her chest and shivered. She would wait quietly and count to ten thousand. By then it would be safe for her to come creeping back out and find her way home.
她发觉这里也很暗，于是缩起裸露的膝盖，紧紧抱在胸前，发起抖来。她决定在这里默默数到一万，等那时候就可以安全地爬出去，找路回家了。
By the time she had reached eighty-seven, the room had begun to lighten as her eyes adjusted to the blackness. Slowly the shapes around her took on form. Huge empty eyes stared at her hungrily through the gloom, and dimly she saw the jagged shadows of long teeth. She had lost the count. She closed her eyes and bit her lip and sent the fear away. When she looked again, the monsters would be gone. Would never have been. She pretended that Syrio was beside her in the dark, whispering in her ear. Calm as still water, she told herself. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. She opened her eyes again.
当她数到八十七的时候，眼睛已经习惯了黑暗，房间也似乎逐渐亮起来，身边的事物缓缓现形。昏暗之中，无数巨大而空洞的眼睛饥渴地瞪着她。她隐约看到长牙的锯齿阴影。她顿时忘了数到哪里，只敢闭上眼睛，咬住嘴唇，驱赶恐惧。等她睁眼再看，怪兽就会不见。怪兽会不存在。她假装西利欧也在黑暗中，陪在她身边，对她悄声说话。止如水，她告诉自己，壮如熊，猛如狼，然后睁开眼睛。
The monsters were still there, but the fear was gone.
怪兽还在，恐惧却消失了。
Arya got to her feet, moving warily. The heads were all around her. She touched one, curious, wondering if it was real. Her fingertips brushed a massive jaw. It felt real enough. The bone was smooth beneath her hand, cold and hard to the touch. She ran her fingers down a tooth, black and sharp, a dagger made of darkness.It made her shiver.
艾莉亚小心翼翼地站起来。四周都是头骨，她好奇地摸摸其中一个，不知到底是不是真的。她的指尖拂过一个宽大的下巴，摸起来挺像真的。骨头的感觉很平滑，既冷且硬。她的手指摸到一颗牙齿，又黑又尖，活像是由黑暗所造的匕首，她不禁打了个寒颤。
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。
