冰與火之歌系列之《權力的游戲》第63期:第四章艾德(13)

[00:00:21]I understand,Ned said softly. 我了解。奈德輕輕地說。 [00:03:11]Robert looked at him. I think you do. If so, you are the only one, my old friend. 勞勃看著他說：老朋友，我想也只有你能夠了解了。 [00:09:00]He smiled. Lord Eddard Stark, I would name you the Hand of the King.” 他面帶微笑道：艾德·史塔克大人，我將任命你為御前首相。 [00:15:42]Ned dropped to one knee. The offer did not surprise him; 奈德單膝跪下。他并不感到意外， [00:21:29]what other reason could Robert have had for coming so far? 除了這個原因，勞勃還會為了什麼千里迢迢北上呢? [00:24:09]The Hand of the King was the second-most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms. 御前首相是七大王國中一人之下，萬人之上的顯赫要職， [00:29:05]He spoke with the king’s voice, commanded the king’s armies, drafted the king’s laws. 他代國王發(fā)號施舍，統(tǒng)御三軍，執(zhí)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. 遇到國王缺席、生病或其他突發(fā)事件，他甚至會坐上鐵王座，實際統(tǒng)治國家。 [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. 勞勃等於是將王國交到他手中。而這卻是他最最不想要的。 [00:53:13]Your Grace,he said. I am not worthy of the honor.” 陛下，他說：恐怕我的能力不足以勝任此等要職。 [00:56:45]Robert groaned with good-humored impatience. If I wanted to honor you, I’d let you retire. 勞勃高興地發(fā)出一聲佯裝不耐的咕噥聲說：如果我更為你著想，我會讓你退休的。 [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. 我打算讓你來治理國家，帶兵打仗，而我自己呢?則痛痛快快地吃喝玩樂，嫖個過癮。 [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：你知道那句形容國王和首相的諺語吧? [01:20:14]Ned knew the saying. What the king dreams,he said, the Hand builds.” 奈德當然知道。國王作夢，他說：首相筑夢。 [01:26:45]I bedded a fishmaid once who told me the lowborn have a choicer way to put it. 有個跟我上過床的漁家女孩告訴我，說她們中下階層的百姓有個更妙的比喻： [01:33:06]The king eats, they say, and the Hand takes the shit.He threw back his head and roared his laughter. 國王吃飯，首相清屎。這句話一說完，他仰頭狂笑， [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. 回音響徹黑暗，四面八方的臨冬城死者似乎很不以為然地冷眼旁觀。
