  • Tyrion had a morbid fascination with dragons. When he had first come to King's Landing for his sister's wedding to Robert Baratheon,
  • 提利昂对龙有种病态的迷恋。当年他初次造访君临,参加姐姐和劳勃·拜拉席恩的婚礼时,
  • he had made it a point to seek out the dragon skulls that had hung on the walls of Targaryen's throne room.
  • 就打定主意一定要瞧瞧那些悬挂在坦格利安王座厅墙上的龙头。
  • King Robert had replaced them with banners and tapestries,
  • 虽然劳勃国王早已把龙头换成了旗帜和壁毡,
  • but Tyrion had persisted until he found the skulls in the dank cellar where they had been stored.
  • 提利昂仍不死心,最后总算在阴湿的地窖内找到了它们的收藏处所。
  • He had expected to find them impressive, perhaps even frightening.
  • 他本以为龙头必定令人叹为观止,甚至叫人望而生畏,
  • He had not thought to find them beautiful. Yet they were.
  • 却怎么也想不到它们竟会是如此美丽的东西。它们的的确确美得让人目瞪口呆。
  • As black as onyx, polished smooth, so the bone seemed to shimmer in the light of his torch.
  • 黑如玛瑙,光滑洁亮,在他的火把映照下仿佛会闪闪发光。
  • They liked the fire, he sensed. He'd thrust the torch into the mouth of one of the larger skulls
  • 他察觉到它们喜欢火,因而特地把火把插进其中一个较大的龙嘴里,
  • and made the shadows leap and dance on the wall behind him.
  • 果真火光大盛,影子在他身后的墙上大肆舞跃。
  • The teeth were long, curving knives of black diamond. The flame of the torch was nothing to them;
  • 龙牙宛如一柄柄黑钻石制成的长弯刀,长年浸涤于炽热的烈焰里,火把微焰对它们来说根本算不了什么。
  • they had bathed in the heat of far greater fires. When he had moved away,
  • 当他抽身离去时,
  • Tyrion could have sworn that the beast's empty eye sockets had watched him go.
  • 他发誓那头巨兽空洞的眼窝是目送着自己离开的。
  • There were nineteen skulls. The oldest was more than three thousand years old;
  • 巨龙头骨一共十九个,最老的寿命已经超过三千年,
  • the youngest a mere century and a half.
  • 最幼小的也有一个半世纪那么久。
  • The most recent were also the smallest; a matched pair no bigger than mastiff's skulls,
  • 幼龙的头骨也是最小的,那两个畸形怪状,比猎犬的头骨大不了多少,
  • and oddly misshapen, all that remained of the last two hatchlings born on Dragonstone.
  • 它们是龙石岛上所孵化的最后两只龙,是坦格利安家族最后的两只,
  • They were the last of the Targaryen dragons, perhaps the last dragons anywhere, and they had not lived very long.
  • 或许也是这世界上最后的两只,它们非常短命。
