冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第173期:第十三章 提利昂(13)

 　　And suddenly the wolf was between them. He did not growl¹.  突然，狼又出现在两人之间，它没有吼叫

　　The damned thing never made a sound. He only looked at him with those bright red eyes, and showed him his teeth,  这只该死的东西从不发出半点声音——只是用那双灿亮的红眼打量他，露出满口尖牙，

　　and that was more than enough. Tyrion sagged² back to the ground with a grunt³. Don’t help me, then. I’ll sit right here until you leave.” 这就够吓人的了。提利昂咕哝一声缩回地上。"不帮就算了，我就在这里，等你走了再说。"

　　Jon Snow stroked Ghost’s thick white fur, smiling now. Ask me nicely.” 琼恩·雪诺搓搓白灵厚重的白毛，却笑了。"求我，我就帮你。"

　　Tyrion Lannister felt the anger coiling inside him, and crushed it out with a will.  提利昂·兰尼斯特只觉体内一股怒气逐渐酝酿，只好强自按捺。

　　It was not the first time in his life he had been humiliated⁴, and it would not be the last.  这不是他这辈子头一次遭人羞辱，肯定也不是最后一次，

　　Perhaps he even deserved this. I should be very grateful for your kind assistance, Jon,he said mildly. 何况这次还是他自讨苦吃。"琼恩，如果你肯出手相助，我将非常感激。"他温和地说。

　　Down, Ghost,the boy said. The direwolf sat on his haunches. Those red eyes never left Tyrion.  "白灵，坐下。"男孩命令，冰原狼听罢蹲坐下来，那对红眼却始终不曾离开提利昂。

　　Jon came around behind him, slid his hands under his arms, and lifted him easily to his feet.  琼恩绕到他身后，把手伸到他腋下，轻松地扶他起来，

　　Then he picked up the book and handed it back. 然后捡书递给他。

　　Why did he attack me?Tyrion asked with a sidelong glance at the direwolf.  "刚才它为什么攻击我？"提利昂问，他斜眼瞟了冰原狼一眼，

　　He wiped blood and dirt from his mouth with the back of his hand. 用手背揩了揩嘴里的血污和泥巴。

　　Maybe he thought you were a grumkin.” "说不定他以为你就是古灵精怪哟。"
