冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第63期:第四章艾德(13)
我了解。奈德轻轻地说。
[00:03:11]Robert looked at him. I think you do. If so, you are the only one, my old friend.
劳勃看著他说：老朋友，我想也只有你能够了解了。
[00:09:00]He smiled. Lord Eddard Stark, I would name you the Hand of the King.”
他面带微笑道：艾德·史塔克大人，我将任命你为御前首相。
[00:15:42]Ned dropped to one knee. The offer did not surprise him;
奈德单膝跪下。他并不感到意外，
[00:21:29]what other reason could Robert have had for coming so far?
除了这个原因，劳勃还会为了什麽千里迢迢北上呢?
[00:24:09]The Hand of the King was the second-most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms.
御前首相是七大王国中一人之下，万人之上的显赫要职，
[00:29:05]He spoke with the king’s voice, commanded the king’s armies, drafted the king’s laws.
他代国王发号施舍，统御三军，执掌司法。
[00:35:30]At times he even sat upon the Iron Throne to dispense king’s justice, when the king was absent, or sick, or otherwise indisposed.
遇到国王缺席、生病或其他突发事件，他甚至会坐上铁王座，实际统治国家。
[00:43:13]Robert was offering him a responsibility as large as the realm itself. It was the last thing in the world he wanted.
劳勃等於是将王国交到他手中。而这却是他最最不想要的。
[00:53:13]Your Grace,he said. I am not worthy of the honor.”
陛下，他说：恐怕我的能力不足以胜任此等要职。
[00:56:45]Robert groaned with good-humored impatience. If I wanted to honor you, I’d let you retire.
劳勃高兴地发出一声佯装不耐的咕哝声说：如果我更为你著想，我会让你退休的。
[01:04:32]I am planning to make you run the kingdom and fight the wars while I eat and drink and wench myself into an early grave.
我打算让你来治理国家，带兵打仗，而我自己呢?则痛痛快快地吃喝玩乐，嫖个过瘾。
[01:12:02]He slapped his gut and grinned. You know the saying, about the king and his Hand?”
他拍拍肚皮，嘿嘿笑道：你知道那句形容国王和首相的谚语吧?
[01:20:14]Ned knew the saying. What the king dreams,he said, the Hand builds.”
奈德当然知道。国王作梦，他说：首相筑梦。
[01:26:45]I bedded a fishmaid once who told me the lowborn have a choicer way to put it.
有个跟我上过床的渔家女孩告诉我，说她们中下阶层的百姓有个更妙的比喻：
[01:33:06]The king eats, they say, and the Hand takes the shit.He threw back his head and roared his laughter.
国王吃饭，首相清屎。这句话一说完，他仰头狂笑，
[01:42:15]The echoes rang through the darkness, and all around them the dead of Winterfell seemed to watch with cold and disapproving eyes.
回音响彻黑暗，四面八方的临冬城死者似乎很不以为然地冷眼旁观。
