征服与叛乱
七大王国的动画版历史
第 一 章 瓦雷利亚子孙，坦格利安家族
这个世界不总是那么渺小琐碎 VISERYS: This world wasn't always so small and petty.
数千年前，其他人还在向众神祈祷 Thousands of years ago, while the rest of men prayed to gods,
瓦雷利亚人已成为神 the Valyrians became them.
透过魔法或纯粹的意志 Through magic or sheer will,
他们能驾驭史上最伟大的生物 they mastered the greatest creatures in history.
马匹让人们统领土地船只让人们统领海洋 A horse grants man dominion over the land, a ship, over the sea.
但龙给我们天空，还有天空底下的一切 But dragons gave us the sky, and everything, and everyone beneath it.
在全盛时期我的祖先统领了已知的世界 At its height, my ancestors ruled the known world.
其他不属于我们的部分都是不值得了解的 Whatever parts we didn't weren't worth knowing.
我们的瓦雷利亚首都让东方最华丽的城市相形逊色 Our capital of Valyria shamed the magnificent cities of the east,
铁锤和凿子无法和龙火和魔法相提并论 for hammers and chisels were no match for dragonfire and sorcery.
这个城市和帝国的建造是立了万年之基 It was a city and an empire built to last until the end of time.
可惜并没有 It didn't.
四百年前，瓦雷利亚遭逢末日浩劫 Four hundred years ago, the Doom fell on Valyria.
高山像鸡蛋似的碎裂 Mountains cracked open like eggs.
湖泊和河川滚沸起来 Lakes and rivers boiled.
地面喷出火瀑和烟尘 Fountains of fire, ash and smoke spewed from the ground,
烈焰如此高涨、炙热就连飞行的龙也遭灼伤 so high and so hot that even dragons burned in flight.
地面分裂，愤怒的海洋涌入 The land splintered, and the angry sea rushed in.
几个小时内，史上最伟大的城市也成为历史 In hours, the greatest city in history became history.
但我的祖先并没有随着其他人被烧死或淹死 But my ancestors didn't burn or drown with the rest of their race.
末日浩劫的前12年，不顾敌人的嘲笑 Twelve years before the Doom, despite the sneers of his rivals,
伊纳尔·坦格利安抛弃首都和家族 Aenar Targaryen abandoned the capital with his family.
传说他的女儿在梦中预见这个城市的毁灭 Legends claim that his daughter foresaw the destruction of the city in a dream.
比较有可能的是伊纳尔在宫廷的诉讼失利 More likely, Aenar met with some mishap at court
于是选择流放，逃避死刑 and chose exile over execution.
他和坦格利安家族逃到单调、遥远、无人问津的荒岛 He and House Targaryen slinked away to a dreary, remote, godforsaken island.
但再也不是乏人问津了 Forsaken no longer.
带着世界失传的技艺 With arts now lost to the world,
我们将一个前哨小岛转变成龙石岛 we transformed a tiny outpost into Dragonstone,
成为最后龙族的堡垒 a fortress fit for the last dragonlords.
伊纳尔的子孙在这里定居视这里为陨落祖国的墓地 Then Aenar's descendants settled into it like a tomb for their lost homeland.
直到伊耿才有所转变 Until Aegon.
当他眺望东方 When he looked east,
他看到过去、古老、疲态、死寂 he saw the past, old, tired, dead.
但是他望向西方 But when he looked west,
他看到未来 he saw the future,
金黄的土地、田野 gold in the ground, gold in the fields,
天空没有其他龙，只有他自己的 and no dragons in the sky but his.
他和他的姐妹雷妮丝、维桑尼亚飞过广大的陆地 He and his sisters Rhaenys and Visenya flew over the great continent,
表面上是拜访异地的过客 ostensibly visitors to a strange land.
但是当伊耿回家 But when Aegon returned,
他命令制作了一张巨大桌子雕刻出维斯特洛的地形 he ordered construction of a massive table carved in the shape of Westeros,
标示他们看过的河流和山脉 with all the notable rivers and mountains that they had seen.
这是七大王国的私人地图 A personal map of the Seven Kingdoms,
由七个争吵不休的家族统治 then ruled by seven squabbling families.
杜兰登家族阵守风息堡统治风暴地 House Durrandon held the Stormlands from their seat at Storm's End,
位于龙石岛之南 due south of Dragonstone.
铁群岛的霍尔家族也征服、奴役了河间地 House Hoare of the Iron Islands had also conquered and enslaved the Riverlands,
从赫伦堡统治他们 and ruled them from Harrenhal,
那是矗立在神眼湖的巨大城堡 a monstrous castle rising on the shore of the Gods Eye.
史塔克家族统治北方的冻结荒地 House Stark held the frozen wasteland of the North,
那是七国中最古老、广大、空旷的地区 the oldest, largest and emptiest of the kingdoms.
兰尼斯特家族统治西境 House Lannister held the Westerlands,
因为境内有金矿，是最富裕的王国 the wealthiest kingdom, thanks to their gold mines.
园丁家族统治河湾地 House Gardener held the Reach,
因为盛产农作物，是第二富裕的国家 the second wealthiest kingdom, thanks to their crops.
艾林家族统治谷地或者该说谷地统治了他们 House Arryn held the Vale, or rather the Vale held them.
除了通过血门这些高山根本无法穿越 The mountains were impassable except through the Bloody Gate,
所以没有人攻得下这里 which had never been taken.
马泰尔家族统治多恩沙漠 House Martell held the deserts of Dorne,
可能因为其他人不想要这里 probably because no one else wanted them.
这七国构成了维斯特洛大陆 Together, the Seven Kingdoms made Westeros,
一个还不能称为王国的地域 a realm that wasn't yet a realm,
由七个伟大家族统治但他们根本不知道什么叫伟大 ruled by great families who didn't know what greatness was.
伊耿教会了他们 Aegon would teach them.
第 二 章 入 侵
虽然杜兰登家族自称“风暴国王” VARYS: Though House Durrandon titled themselves "Storm Kings,"
他们充其量就是阵风 they were little more than gusts.
他们在风暴地的王国过去数百年来 Their kingdom in the Stormlands had been doddering to its end
早已是岌岌可危 for the past few centuries,
多亏其他家族的帮助 helped along by other houses,
主要是霍尔家族 most of all by House Hoare,
他们才刚刚完成巨大的赫伦堡 who were nearly finished with the monstrous castle of Harrenhal,
这个巨大王座耗资惊人他们只能统治河间地 too large and too costly a seat to rule only the Riverlands.
亚尔吉拉国王知道铁群岛人很快会反叛 King Argilac knew where the ironborn would soon turn.
你以为想保住王冠的国王 You'd think a king who wanted to keep his crown
应该会留意带着喷火怪兽的人 would be wary of a man with fire-breathing monsters,
亚尔吉拉·杜兰登国王绰号“傲慢的”不是叫假的 but King Argilac Durrandon wasn't called "the Arrogant" for nothing.
他不顾家人的阻止 Determined to arrest his family's decline,
派遣使者到龙石岛 he sent an envoy to Dragonstone
招募伊耿·坦格利安和他的龙联手对抗他的敌人 to enlist Aegon Targaryen and his dragons against his enemies.
交换条件是不属于亚尔吉拉的土地 In exchange, Argilac offered lands he didn't have
还有一个伊耿不需要的妻子 and a wife Aegon didn't need,
就像瓦雷利亚人一样伊耿已娶了姐姐维桑尼亚 for, as the Valyrians did, Aegon had wed his elder sister, Visenya.
但有一点不像瓦雷利亚人他也娶了妹妹雷妮丝 Then, as the Valyrians didn't, he took the younger Rhaenys as well.
两姐妹，两个妻子 Two sisters, two wives.
也许这就是他急于离开龙石岛的原因 Perhaps that's why he was so keen to get off Dragonstone.
伊耿礼貌回绝了亚尔吉拉 Aegon countered Argilac with courtesy.
他派自己的使者去要求 He sent his own envoy requesting
希望将杜兰登公主的玉手交给伊耿最要好的朋友 that Princess Durrandon's hand be given instead to Aegon's closest friend,
谣传是他同父异母的兄弟奥里斯·拜拉席恩 and rumored half-brother, Orys Baratheon.
亚尔吉拉派人送了锦盒和信件回覆 Argilac answered with a box and a note,
“你的杂种兄弟只能得到这双手” "These are the only hands your bastard shall have of me."
盒内是伊耿所派使者的双手 Inside the box were the hands of Aegon's envoy.
伊耿等这样的借口多久了？ How long had Aegon been waiting for such a pretext?
他的军队准备出航 As his army prepared to sail,
乌鸦飞往七国的每一位领主处 ravens flew to every great lord of the Seven Kingdoms.
送达同样的讯息 All bore the same message.
从这天开始维斯特洛只有一个国王 From this day forth, there would be but one king in Westeros.
臣服于坦格利安家族的伊耿国王 Those who bent the knee to Aegon of House Targaryen
就可以继续保有土地和头衔 would keep their lands and titles.
如果打算反抗他 Those who took up arms against him
将被彻底消灭 would be thrown down, humbled and destroyed.
可怜的老亚尔吉拉 Poor old Argilac.
他的傲慢也比不上伊耿 He couldn't even match Aegon in arrogance.
伊耿在黑水河口登陆 Aegon landed at the mouth of the Blackwater River
随即筑了最早的“伊耿堡” and raised a primitive "Aegonfort"
矗立于赫伦和亚尔吉拉之间的争议土地 in the disputed land between Harren's and Argilac's kingdoms,
所以两方都无法决定他是谁的问题 so that neither could decide whose problem he was.
他采取七国的传统 Adopting the customs of the Seven Kingdoms,
伊耿扬起自己的旗帜 Aegon unfurled his own banner
图案是三头红龙对着黑色领土喷出火焰 with a red three-headed dragon breathing fire upon a black field.
维桑尼亚替他加冕，王冠镶嵌红宝石是瓦雷利亚钢打造的 Visenya crowned him with a ruby-studded circlet of Valyrian steel,
雷妮丝称他为 while Rhaenys hailed him as
自黎明纪元以来大陆第一位伟大君王 the first high king the continent had seen since the Dawn Age.
领主和民众齐聚欢呼 As his lords and the gathered locals cheered him,
伊耿任命他最忠诚的朋友组成“御前会议” Aegon named his loyal friends to a "Small Council"
由他称为“我最得力的右手”奥里斯·拜拉席恩所领导 led by Orys Baratheon, whom he called, "My strong right hand."
这个说法从此生根 The title stuck,
私生子变成第一任国王之手 and a bastard became the first Hand of the King.
但目前伊耿的王国只有一座小岛和少数领地 But for now, Aegon's kingdom contained only a rocky island and a handful of fields.
其他国王有更庞大的军队、船队城堡和数千年的统治 The other kings had larger armies, ships, castles and thousands of years of rule.
但伊耿有龙 But Aegon had dragons.
他已经替他的家族选好口号“血火同源” He had chosen for the words of his house, "Fire and blood."
在他完成前河流、田地和天空都会染红 Before he was done, the rivers, fields and skies would turn red.
第 三 章 霍尔家族，河间地的铁群岛国王
赫伦·霍尔继承的王国 EURON: Harren of House Hoare inherited a kingdom
从铁群岛延伸到三叉戟河 that stretched from the Iron Islands to the Trident,
从派克岛的寒酸城堡这个王国实在大到难以管辖 too great a kingdom to rule from a castle as shitty as Pyke.
40年来，他的铁群岛子民搜刮了河间地 For 40 years, his ironborn plundered the Riverlands -(METAL CLANKING)
取得石头、木头和奴隶藉以打造他的王座 for stone, timber and slaves to build a seat worthy of him.
传说泥水匠把最后一块石头嵌入赫伦堡当天 Legend has it that masons laid the final stone in Harrenhal
正是伊耿登陆维斯特洛的日子 on the very day that Aegon landed in Westeros.
这可能是神的预兆 Could've been a divine omen.
可能是泥水匠想在龙抵达前赶紧逃走 Could've been the masons wanted to fuck off before the dragons got there.
他们不是唯一害怕的人 They weren't the only ones.
伊耿接近时 At Aegon's approach,
赫伦的领主在徒利家的带领下群起反抗 Harren's riverlords revolted, led by House Tully.
赫伦似乎没注意到 I doubt Harren noticed.
赫伦堡可以击退百万大军 Harrenhal could repel an army of a million men.
没有梯子可以登上城墙 No ladder could summit its walls,
任何冲撞也撼动不了他们 and no ram could shatter them.
城堡就像老处女的贞操坚不可破 The castle was as impregnable as an old maid's cunt.
赫伦关起城门保护自己还有他的儿子和铁群岛人 Harren shut his gates around himself, his sons, and his ironborn,
静待伊耿的军队退回泥沼 and waited for Aegon's army to drain back into the muck.
当伊耿看到巨大的城堡他要求谈判 When Aegon finally saw the monstrous castle, he asked for parley.
赫伦答应了 Harren granted it.
瓦雷利亚曾是世上最大的帝国 Valyria had been the greatest empire the world had ever seen.
赫伦却对他们的后代嗤之以鼻 Harren wanted to piss on its ashes.
“现在投降，也许你可以担任铁群岛的领主” AEGON: "Yield now, and you may remain as Lord of the Iron Islands.
“现在投降你的孩子可以继续你的统治” "Yield now, and your sons will live to rule after you.
“你看到我的军队聚集在城墙外” "You see my army outside your walls.
“你看到我的龙了” "You see my dragons."
“城墙外的一切无关紧要” HARREN: "What is outside my walls is of no concern.
“因为城墙坚固厚实” "Those walls are strong and thick."
“龙会飞” AEGON: "Dragons fly."
“但石头不会燃烧” HARREN: "But stone doesn't burn."
“等太阳下山，你们家族就灭绝了” AEGON: "When the sun sets, your line shall end."
赫伦呸了一声，回到他的城堡 EURON: Harren spat and returned to his castle.
回去之后，他承诺要送出土地、财富和徒利家的女儿 Once inside, he promised lands, riches and Tully's daughters
给能够拿下伊耿或龙的人 to whoever could bring down Aegon or his dragon.
太阳西下以后 As the sun sank below the horizon,
所有的赫伦士兵在城垛巡逻 all of Harren's men patrolled the battlements,
每阵风都像是翅膀在拍动 hearing wings in every gust of wind.
但是月亮升起又落下 But the moon rose, and sank,
龙并没有出现 and no dragon appeared.
当铁群岛人敲响警钟 VISERYS: While the ironborn were ringing the battlements,
伊耿乘着他的贝勒里恩龙飞得越来越高 Aegon drove his dragon Balerion higher and higher in the night sky
即使是高耸的赫伦堡如今看起来也像个小蚁丘 so that even the great castle of Harrenhal looked like an anthill below them.
然后他们朝城堡俯冲直下进入防守的城墙内 Then they plunged straight into the castle, well inside the guarded walls.
赫伦堡的五座高塔好像伸往伊耿的一只手 The five towers of Harrenhal reached towards Aegon like a hand.
贝勒里恩张开嘴将火焰喷往五座高塔 Balerion opened his mouth and bathed all the fingers in flame.
赫伦说对了，石头不会燃烧但人类会 EURON: Harren was right, stone doesn't burn, but men do,
即使是铁群岛人 even when they're ironborn. (SNIGGERS)
龙把我的祖先烧成灰 The dragon blasted my ancestors into ash
少数的生还者也因尖叫而呛住 that choked the survivors when they screamed.
赫伦的士兵有的从城垛往下跳结果摔死了 Harren's soldiers leapt from the battlements and died.
有的贴着墙相拥而死 They huddled against the walls and died.
有的逃到中庭被烧死 They fled across the yard and died.
赫伦和他的儿子躲在城堡内 Harren and his sons took shelter inside the castle.
石头不会燃烧 The stone didn't burn,
但贝勒里恩喷火产生的炙热 but as Balerion blasted it with fire, it glowed white-hot.
让世上最伟大的城堡变成世上最伟大的烤炉 The world's greatest castle became the world's greatest oven,
烤焦了最后的霍尔家族 baking the last of House Hoare within it.
在城墙之外 VISERYS: Outside the castle walls,
赫伦堡的高塔在夜里透出红光 the towers of Harrenhal glowed red against the night
渐渐扭曲、融化就好像五根巨大的蜡烛 and began to twist and melt like five huge candles
液态的石头低落在底座旁边好像蜡油一样 with liquid stone trickling down their sides like wax.
隔天早上，伊耿打造了新的河间地 The next morning, Aegon forged a new Riverlands.
他任命反叛的艾德敏·徒利担任三叉戟领主 He named the rebel Edmyn Tully as his Lord Paramount of the Trident,
再让其他的领主宣警效忠担任其诸侯 and had the other riverlords swear him fealty as their new liege.
几世纪以来，霍尔家族暴力统治河间地 For centuries, House Hoare had terrorized the Riverlands.
如今在徒利家的管理下 Under House Tully,
至少河间地能恢复平静和繁荣 the Riverlands would at last return to peace and prosperity.
等城堡冷却下来，人们才得以入内 After the castle cooled enough to allow men inside,
伊耿冒险进入赫伦堡废墟 Aegon ventured into the ruin he'd made of Harrenhal.
他看到化成灰的尸体、灼烧的石头 He saw the ashen bodies, the scorched stone
还有面前敌人破损、融化的剑 and the mangled and melted swords of his former enemies.
尽管他的手下很困惑 To his men's confusion,
他命人收集这些没用的剑送到他的伊耿堡 he ordered these useless swords collected and sent to his Aegonfort.
第 四 章 杜兰登家族，风暴国王
伊耿加冕之后，前往征服赫伦堡的同时 VARYS: While Aegon marched on Harrenhal after his coronation,
奥里斯·拜拉席恩率领大军还有皇后雷妮丝和她的龙 Orys Baratheon had taken most of his forces, and his Queen Rhaenys with her dragon,
南下处理入侵的借口 south to deal with the excuse for the invasion,
“傲慢的”亚尔吉拉，风暴国王 Argilac the Arrogant, King of the Stormlands.
亚尔吉拉的王座在风息堡 Argilac had his seat at Storm's End,
在赫伦堡之后堪称维斯特洛最坚固的城堡 a castle considered the most impregnable in Westeros after Harrenhal.
亚尔吉拉也许傲慢但他并不笨，也不懦弱 Argilac may have been arrogant, but he wasn't stupid or a coward.
他的领主建议他关上大门静待脱困 His lords advised him to shut his gates and wait out the siege,
但他听说赫伦堡发生的事 but he'd heard what had happened at Harrenhal
他拒绝像烤乳猪一样死在自己的城堡 and refused to die a suckling pig cooked in his own castle.
不论成败，他打算持剑一博 He would meet victory or defeat the same way, with sword in hand.
他召集所有的旗帜军队到战场和奥里斯·拜拉席恩碰面 He called his banners and marched to meet Orys Baratheon in the field.
多亏有雷妮丝的龙，米拉西斯 Thanks to Rhaenys' dragon, Meraxes,
奥里斯知道亚尔吉拉来了也知道他带了多少人 Orys knew Argilac was coming, how many men he had,
他们行军的速度多快 and how fast he marched.
所以奥里斯只要占据高地躲在山丘上等亚尔吉拉过来 So Orys simply seized the high ground and dug in on the hills to wait for Argilac.
当两方军队交锋 As the two armies approached,
迎接他们的是狂风暴雨 the wind rose to meet them, and the rain poured from the sky,
因此这场战役被称为“最后的风暴” a gale which would give the battle its name, "the Last Storm."
亚尔吉拉国王的领主请他等天气转好再战 King Argilac's lords urged him to wait for the weather to die down,
但风暴国王看到那场大雨 but the Storm King saw that the rain
淋湿了站在山丘上的拜拉席恩士兵雨水打在他们脸上 was blowing into the faces of the Baratheon men on their hills,
亚尔吉拉的军队人数比拜拉席恩多了一倍 and Argilac outnumbered the Baratheon host two-to-one,
骑士和重装马匹足足多了四倍 with four times as many knights and heavy horse.
亚尔吉拉坚持进攻 Argilac attacked.
三倍的亚尔吉拉骑士对抗拜拉席恩阵线 Three times Argilac led his knights against the Baratheon line,
但山丘很陡雨水把泥土淋成烂泥 but the hills were steep and the rain had beat the earth to mud.
战马们打滑 - The warhorses foundered and slipped, -(SWORDS CLANKING)
摔倒 and the charges collapsed.
感觉就要输了这场仗 The battle seemed lost
后来亚尔吉拉命令矛兵攻上山丘 until Argilac ordered his spearmen up the hill.
大雨让人张不开眼睛等拜拉席恩的人发现已经太迟了 Blinded by the rain, the Baratheons didn't see them until it was too late.
一座山丘被打倒了接着又一座，再一座 - One hill fell, then another, and another, -(MEN YELLING AND GRUNTING)
最后只剩下拜拉席恩所在的山丘 until only one remained in the Baratheon center.
如果亚尔吉拉可以突破此处 If Argilac could break through there,
他可以分散入侵的军队再各个击破 he could split the invading army and flank both halves.
亚尔吉拉带着手下猛攻拜拉席恩的阵线失守… Argilac and his men charged, and the Baratheon line broke...
雷妮丝皇后和米拉西斯龙出现了 Revealing Queen Rhaenys and Meraxes.
亚尔吉拉的前锋全身着火其余士兵惊慌失措 Argilac's vanguard burst into flame, and his men panicked.
快到手的胜利变成一团混乱 - The victory charge fell into chaos, -(HORSES WHINNYING)
亚尔吉拉的马受惊，他摔了下来 and Argilac himself was thrown from his horse.
但是他不肯投降 But he didn't yield.
奥里斯·拜拉席恩抵达时 When Orys Baratheon arrived,
发现老国王挡住了六个人 he found the old king holding off half a dozen men,
另外六人死在他的脚边 another half-dozen dead at his feet.
奥里斯下马，和国王站在对等的高度 Orys dismounted to meet the king on equal footing
给亚尔吉拉最后一次投降的机会 and offered Argilac one final chance to yield.
亚尔吉拉却咒骂他 Argilac cursed him instead.
风暴在他们身边肆虐 As the storm raged around them,
老国王昂首挺胸 the grizzled old warrior and the bearded upstart
为他的性命和王国奋力一博 fought for life and kingdom.
最后，亚尔吉拉得偿所愿 - In the end, Argilac got his wish. -(SWORDS CLANKING)
他手握长剑身亡 He died, sword in hand.
亚尔吉拉死亡的消息一传开 As word of Argilac's death spread,
他的领主和骑士纷纷弃剑而逃 his lords and knights threw down their swords and fled.
奥里斯率领先锋，骑马来到风息堡要替伊耿夺得亚尔吉拉的城堡 Orys and his vanguard rode to Storm's End to claim Argilac's castle for Aegon
结果却发现城门拉起城墙有人看守 only to find the gates barred and the walls manned.
亚尔吉拉的女儿继承他的王位 Argilac's daughter had assumed his crown,
成为新的风暴女王她和父亲一样不喜欢投降 and the new Storm Queen was as fond of yielding as her father.
她宣称奥里斯能赢得的只有白骨、鲜血和灰烬 She declared that Orys would win only bones, blood and ashes here.
但是她的士兵比她软弱 But her men were weaker than her,
那天晚上，奥里斯发现有人送来亚尔吉拉的女儿 and that night Orys found Argilac's daughter delivered,
她浑身赤裸，遭人捆绑、捂嘴 gagged, chained and naked to his camp.
亚尔吉拉的女儿拒绝嫁给奥里斯 Argilac had refused to give Orys her hand.
现在奥里斯可以为所欲为 Now, Orys could have any part of her he wished.
但奥里斯解开这个女孩 But Orys unchained the girl,
拿自己的披风替她披上倒了一杯酒给她 wrapped his cloak around her and poured her a glass of wine.
他告诉她，他会延用杜兰登家族的军队、旗帜和文字 He told her he would take the arms, banner and words of House Durrandon,
来彰显她父亲在最后的风暴一役的勇气 to honor her father's courage in the Last Storm.
这真方便，奥里斯也没有自己的旗号必须先弃用 Conveniently, Orys had none of his own to discard first.
宝冠雄鹿就成了拜拉席恩家族的印记 The crowned stag became the sigil of House Baratheon,
风息堡成了他们的王座所在 and Storm's End their seat.
亚尔吉拉的女儿甚至还可以住在原来的家 Argilac's daughter would even remain in her home,
只不过她不再是公主，而是皇后 though as a lady instead of a princess.
风暴地如今是伊耿的领土 The Stormlands were now Aegon's,
伊耿也命令奥里斯收集敌人的弃剑 and as tribute, Aegon demanded the swords of the men Orys had defeated.
到底要做什么，奥里斯也不知道 For what purpose, Orys didn't know.
第 五 章 兰尼斯特家族，凯岩城之王园丁家族，河湾地之王
伊耿现在统治七国中的两国 JAIME: Aegon now ruled two of the Seven Kingdoms,
但他无法再这样一一击破了 but he would no longer be able to take the rest piecemeal.
数千年来头一遭 For the first time in thousands of years,
各国国王放下成见联合起来对抗共同的敌人 the kings put aside their squabbles and joined forces against a common enemy.
我的祖先兰尼斯特家族的罗伦国王 My ancestor, King Loren of House Lannister,
是七国中最富裕家族之首 was head of the wealthiest family in the Seven Kingdoms.
罗伦国王派遣军队加入河湾地的孟恩·园丁国王 When King Loren joined his forces to Mern of House Gardener, King of the Reach,
他们拥有史上最强大的军力 they had the mightiest army in history,
声称是能击溃征服者的“铁拳” a so-called "iron fist" to break the would-be conqueror.
但铁拳也许可以击中敌人的脸 But while an iron fist can smash a man's face in battle,
但用来猎捕鸟类或野兽就有些可笑 you'd look silly hunting birds or beasts with it,
伊耿的动物身兼两者之长 and Aegon had a creature that was both.
那些国王从来没看过龙更别说和龙打仗了 The kings had never even seen a dragon, let alone fought one.
他们彼此相争了数千年 They had fought each other for thousands of years,
胜利总是属于军队较多的那方 and victory always went to the larger army.
五倍于伊耿的军力自然能应付一只龙… Surely a force five times that of Aegon's could manage one dragon...
但伊耿有三只龙 But Aegon arrived with three.
但兰尼斯特和园丁家族依然希望能得胜 Still, the Lannisters and Gardeners hoped for victory.
他们选择的战场是广大的平原土地扎实，天空晴朗 The battlefield they chose was a wide plain with firm ground and clear skies.
很适合弓箭手和骑兵 Perfect for archers and mounted cavalry.
但两位国王完全没想到为何土地会这样硬实 But neither of the kings spared a thought for why the ground was firm.
已经两周没有下雨了 There had been no rain for a fortnight,
这表示所有的麦田和草地都非常干燥 which meant all the wheat and grass on it were bone-dry.
很适合龙发威 - Perfect for dragons. -(HOOVES THUDDING)
起初两位国王以为他们会赢 At first, the kings looked like they would emerge victorious. -(HORN BLOWS)
战争的号角响起他们的军队横扫伊耿的侧翼 When the horn blew for battle, their armies swept around Aegon's flanks
铁甲，骑士组成的铁拳狠狠攻陷他的核心 and their iron fist of mounted knights smashed through his center
根本还来不及派出龙 before the dragons could even enter the fray.
但伊耿和他的姐妹随即乘着龙升空喷火 But then Aegon and his sisters took flight and unleashed their dragons
不是朝士兵喷火而是朝四周干燥的田野喷火 not on the soldiers, but on the dry fields all around them.
铁拳无法施展 - The iron fist unclenched -(MEN SCREAMING)
只能伸手痛苦求饶 - and became a hand outstretched for mercy. -(HORSE WHINNIES)
如同伊耿承诺过的，他绝不留情 As Aegon promised, he had none.
超过四千名士兵死于火中另外一千名及时逃跑 More than 4,000 men died in the fires, another 1,000 escaping them.
成千上万的人回家变成怪物 Tens of thousands returned home as monsters,
全身满是烧坏的疤痕，面目难辨 burned and scarred beyond recognition.
园丁家族再也没有回家 House Gardener never returned at all.
歌者称为“怒火燎原”的这场战役灭绝了园丁家族一脉 The "Field of Fire," as the singers call it, claimed the last of the Gardener line,
提利尔家族取而代之 and House Tyrell rose in their stead
成为河湾地领主和南方统领 as Lords of the Reach and Wardens of the South.
成为我杰出的祖先 As for my illustrious ancestor,
当罗伦国王看到战争失利 when King Loren saw the battle was lost,
他骑马穿过火墙烟幕，来到安全处所… he rode through a wall of flame and smoke to safety...
至少安全了一天才被英雄式围捕 Or at least to a heroic capture a day later,
他跪在伊耿面前，放下佩剑 where he laid his sword before Aegon and knelt.
伊耿说话算话，赦免他的死确认让兰尼斯特家族 Aegon, true to his word, spared him and confirmed House Lannister
担任凯岩城领主和西方统领 as Lords of Casterly Rock and Wardens of the West.
他何乐而不为呢？ Why wouldn't he?
兰尼斯特人有债必还现在国王饶了我们大家一命 A Lannister always pays his debts, and now we owed our lives to the crown.
这笔债至少要还几百年了 That was worth centuries of subservience, at least.
况且伊耿喜欢收集剑，不是人头 Besides, Aegon had a fetish for collecting swords, not heads.
他把罗伦国王和其手下留在怒火燎原的刀剑 He added Loren's to the pile his men had retrieved from the Field of Fire
通通送回伊耿堡 and sent them back to the Aegonfort.
第 六 章 史塔克家族，冬境之王
南方绝大多数已落入伊耿之手 SANSA: With most of the South in Aegon's hands,
最有机会击退征服者的如今只剩下北方了 the best chance to throw back the Conqueror now lay with the North,
如果我们有兴趣一试的话 if we cared enough to try.
我们不像南方的对手 Unlike our southern rivals,
冬境之王史塔克家族无意将北方打造成一个 the Stark Kings of Winter didn't forge the North into one kingdom
金碧辉煌的国家 for glory or gold,
这里没有金光闪闪，重点是如何存活 there is little of either here, but to survive.
维斯特洛的孤军 Alone in Westeros,
北方人记得还有比龙更糟的怪物能毁灭军队 the North remembered when worse than dragons laid waste to armies.
数千年前 Thousands of years ago,
太阳自人类的疆域落下，长夜开始 the sun set on the realms of men and the Long Night began.
新的种族从冰雪中崛起，异鬼 A new race emerged from the ice and snow, the White Walkers.
他们不求王位，不谈条件格杀勿论 They demanded no crown, offered no terms, spared no life,
死神与他们同行 and the dead marched with them.
随着人类面临灭绝史塔克寻求森林之子协助 With humanity facing extinction, a Stark sought out the Children of the Forest,
那是维斯特洛最古老的生物 the most ancient beings in Westeros,
他说服他们和曾经为敌的人类合作 and convinced them to ally with the men they'd once fought.
联手将异鬼赶入永冬之地 Together the two races pushed the Walkers back into the Land of Always Winter
再以长城封锁，保护七国安全 and sealed it off from the Seven Kingdoms with the Wall,
以冰、石、土砌的城墙长达五百公里高度达二百公尺 300 miles of ice, stone and earth rising nearly 700 feet tall.
为了守卫长城他们成立了守夜人 To guard it, they established the Night's Watch,
这个兄弟会誓言保护生人对抗死灵侵略 a brotherhood sworn to defend the living from the dead,
他们的誓言足以抵销所有头衔和罪名 whose vows erase both titles and crimes.
在长夜之后，北方很想忘记他们也是这块大陆的成员 VISERYS: After the Long Night, the North tried to forget it belonged to the continent,
也许是出于自尊也许是纯粹的傲慢 perhaps through pride, perhaps through sheer ignorance.
北方人是很难捉模的 You never can tell with the North.
但伊耿的龙横扫大陆的消息传来 But as news of Aegon's dragons spread,
冬境之王托伦·史塔克知道他不能再无视维斯特洛了 Torrhen Stark, the King of Winter, knew he couldn't forget Westeros any longer
他召集领主到临冬城 and summoned his lords to Winterfell.
许多笨蛋轻视这种威胁 Many fools shrugged off the threat
其他人则忙着下注赌南方多久会付之一炬 while the rest placed wagers on how long the South would take to burn.
托伦喝令他们安静要他们集结军队 Torrhen silenced them with a command to assemble their armies
率领大规模武力从北方南下 and descend from the North in force.
凯岩城与河湾地之王在怒火燎原一役惨败 SANSA: As the kings of the Rock and the Reach burned on the Field of Fire,
自长夜之后，最强大的北方武力 the greatest Northern force since the Long Night
渡过颈泽，来到河间地 crossed the Neck into the Riverlands.
但是当托伦国王抵达三叉戟 But when King Torrhen arrived at the Trident,
他看到对岸的情景 he saw on the opposing riverbank
被伊耿征服的诸国集结起来的武力 the combined strength of all Aegon's conquered kingdoms.
整整超过托伦军队的一倍外加三只龙 A force larger than Torrhen's own by half, and with three dragons.
那天晚上，托伦国王找来所有领主和军师开会 VISERYS: That night, King Torrhen called a conference of all his lords and advisers.
有些人想打相信靠北方人的勇气 Some wanted to fight, and trust Northern valor to carry the day,
可以在三叉戟大战一回 and burn on the Trident.
其中最有智慧的一群希望撤退到卡林湾 The wisest of them wanted to withdraw to Moat Cailin,
那里的碉堡成功抵抗了南方每一次的入侵 the fortress which had thrown back every southern invasion, and burn there.
还有一个自杀型的领主想趁夜突击伊耿的营地 One suicidal lord even wanted to ambush Aegon's camp in the dark
趁龙熟睡杀了它们至少杀了驾龙的骑士 and kill the dragons as they slept, or at the very least their riders.
很难判断他会有何下场 Hard to tell what would've been his fate.
烧死、砍头、五马分尸？ Burning, beheading, dismemberment?
也许通通免不了 Perhaps all three.
我的祖先采纳军师的意见 SANSA: My ancestor listened to their counsel,
他们在早晨挂出谈判的旗帜横渡三叉戟河 - and in the morning crossed the Trident under a flag of parley.
史塔克家族的托伦国王将他的古老皇冠放在伊耿脚边 Then King Torrhen of House Stark laid his ancient crown at Aegon's feet,
他被任命为临冬城城主以及北方统领… and was named Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North...
外号降服王 VISERYS: And the King Who Knelt.
他别无选择 SANSA: He had no choice,
多亏他，我们的士兵才能毫发无伤的回家 and thanks to him our soldiers returned to their homes whole and unharmed.
伊耿从他们手中收走的剑并没有扭曲、烧毁或损坏 The swords that Aegon took from them were not twisted, burnt or mangled.
还没有 VISERYSI Yet.
第 七 章 艾林家族，谷地之王
只剩下艾林谷一个王国了 LITTLEFINGER: The Vale of Arryn was the last of the great kingdoms left.
古老且骄傲 Old and proud,
艾林家族的做法就像在冲突时期一样 House Arryn did what they always did in times of strife.
他们关上血门，封锁河谷 They shut the Bloody Gate, sealing off the Vale.
艾林王国由太后莎拉摄政她和国王儿子罗纳 Then the Queen-Regent Sharra of House Arryn retreated with her son,
退回鹰巢城这是他们家族坚不可摧的堡垒 the boy king Ronnel, into the Eyrie, their family's impregnable fortress.
位居高耸的山头他们可以俯视远方的维斯特洛 From the top of their mountain, they could look down on Westeros far below,
但问题躲在云层之后 its problems hidden beneath the clouds.
有一天莎拉太后来到户外庭院 But one day Queen Sharra entered the outer courtyard
看现她的儿子坐在维桑尼亚·坦格利安的膝头 to find her young son sitting on the knee of Visenya Targaryen,
她的巨龙瓦格哈尔就在旁边 -and ogling her dragon, Vhagar, beside her. -(VHAGAR GROWLING SOFTLY)
就像要求晚餐多吃一块蛋糕 Just as he'd ask for another cake at dinner,
小国王罗纳问妈妈他是否可以坐这位好心女士的龙飞翔 little King Ronnel asked his mother if he could go flying on the nice lady's dragon.
维桑尼亚对着莎拉微笑 Visenya smiled at Sharra.
莎拉可以想像巨龙瓦格哈尔会如何 So, Sharra imagined, did Vhagar.
想起应有的礼仪 Remembering her manners,
莎拉问维桑尼亚要不要喝酒或吃东西 Sharra asked if she could have Visenya brought some wine or food,
经过长时间飞行，她肯定累了 she must be tired after such a long flight.
但维桑尼亚拒绝了 But Visenya demurred.
罗纳受不了母亲的殷勤只想快点得到答案 Bored with his mother's pleasantries, Ronnel demanded an answer.
可怜的孩子 Poor boy.
他甚至不了解这个要求 He didn't even understand the question.
莎拉迟疑了一下然后以母亲的身份问维桑尼亚 Sharra hesitated for a moment, then asked Visenya, as a mother,
男孩骑龙是否安全 if it were safe for the boy.
维桑尼亚向她保证 Visenya assured her it was.
莎拉还能有什么选择？ What choice did Sharra have?
当她的儿子绕着城堡盘旋 Whilst her son circled the castle,
她拿起他的小皇冠还有她自己的摄政皇冠 she collected his little ringlet, her own regent's coronet,
以及高山与谷地王国的古老猎鹰皇冠 and the ancient Falcon Crown of Mountain and Vale,
那是艾林家族戴了数千年的皇冠 which the Arryns had worn for thousands of years.
罗纳起飞时还是一国之王落地后却成了领主 Ronnel had taken to the sky as a king, but he landed as a lordling.
也许他觉得这个古老的皇权 Perhaps he considered his ancient rights
值得几分钟的翱翔飞行小男孩都会这样想 a fair trade for a few minutes of flight, as a little boy would.
他大概根本没注意维桑尼亚脚边的三项皇冠 More likely he didn't even notice the three crowns at Visenya's feet,
也不认得他的驻军所抛下的配剑 or recognize the swords of his garrison beside them.
第 八 章 伊耿一世
维斯特洛诸王已向伊耿俯首称臣 VISERYS: The heads of Westeros had bowed to Aegon,
但维斯特洛的精神依然生气勃勃 but its heart still beat free.
旧镇，七神信仰的中心 Oldtown, the center of the Faith of the Seven.
那里住着总主教，信仰之父 There dwelt the High Septon, the Father of the Faithful,
他主掌了维斯特洛所有顺服的信徒 who commanded the obedience of all Westeros,
拯救北方的野蛮人和他们的旧神 save the savages of the North and their Old Gods.
当伊耿登陆维斯特洛 When Aegon had landed in Westeros,
总主教将自己关在繁星圣堂 the High Septon had locked himself in the Starry Sept
禁食七天七夜 and fasted for seven days and seven nights,
敬奉七位神祗 one for each of his gods.
他的劳苦换得神赐的智慧 All he received for his trouble was the divine wisdom
如果旧镇反抗龙，城市会被烧毁 that if Oldtown took up arms against the Dragon, the city would burn,
信徒与无信仰者无一幸免 faithful and faithless alike.
在史塔克家族臣服之后 After the submission of House Stark,
伊耿朝旧镇前进准备进行下一场战役 Aegon marched towards Oldtown, steeling himself for another battle.
但他发现城门敞开总主教欢迎他入城 But he found the gates open, with the High Septon welcoming him.
这个虔诚的傻瓜甚至给予伊耿早已赢得的傲慢 The pious fool even had the arrogance to grant what Aegon had already won,
替最后的瓦雷利亚一脉涂抹圣油赋予封为“坦格利安家族的 and anointed the last Valyrian as "Aegon of House Targaryen,
伊耿一世洛伊拿人和先民的国王” "First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men,
“七国统治者暨全境守护者” "Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm."
彷佛这些头衔对此刻屈膝的男人比先前的一切更重要 As if titles meant anything to a man before whom time itself now bowed.
学士在纪录历史时会分成“先前”和“征服后” The maesters would hence divide all history into "Before" and "After Conquest."
多数人希望伊耿留下来在旧镇建立他的王座 Most expected Aegon to stay and make Oldtown his seat,
但伊耿登基之后没多久他就回到黑水河口 but soon after his coronation, Aegon returned to the mouth of the Blackwater River
那是他初抵维斯特洛之地 where he had first set foot on Westeros.
在他最初兴建的碉堡旁边已经发展出一个小镇 A small town had since sprouted around his primitive fort.
为了荣显他们的新主人当地人命名为君临城 To honor their new master, the locals dubbed it King's Landing,
不过小镇规模比较适合雇佣骑士 though it looked more fit for a hedge knight,
木头栅栏、泥泞街道 with wooden palisades, muddy streets
还有成堆受损的刀剑全是从每一场战役收集来的 and piles of mangled swords carted in from every corner of the conquest.
不过伊耿在这里打造皇宫时以石块取代了木头 But when Aegon made it his court, wood became stone.
黑泥被埋在红堡之下 Black mud was buried beneath a Red Keep.
伊耿利用从敌军收集而来被龙火焚烧过的铁剑 And the collected swords of Aegon's foes were blasted by dragonfire,
打造出最适合征服者的王座 and became a seat fit for the Conqueror
世上最伟大的王朝就此诞生 and the greatest dynasty this world has ever known.
坦格利安王期 House Targaryen.
我的家族 My family.
我的宝座 My throne.
或者应该是这样 Or so it should've been.
第 九 章 马泰尔家族，多恩亲王
但伊耿空有“七国统治者”的头衔 VARYS: But while Aegon titled himself "Lord of the Seven Kingdoms,"
实际上他只有六国 in reality he held only six.
第七国多恩一直没有臣服 The seventh, Dorne, had never knelt.
维桑尼亚飞进谷地，带回他们的皇冠 Visenya had flown into the Vale and returned with its crown.
雷妮丝效法姐姐 Mimicking her sister,
飞过阵守多恩入口的敌军 Rhaenys had flown over the enemy force holding the passes into Dome,
直接降落在城堡统治者是马泰尔家族的梅莉亚公主 and landed in the castle of its ruling lady, Princess Meria of House Martell.
梅莉亚公主80岁了身材矮胖、秃发又眼盲 Meria was 80 years old, fat, bald and blind.
人们在背后讥笑她是“多恩的黄蛤蟆” Behind her back, many sniggered at her as the "Yellow Toad of Dorne."
美丽的雷妮丝见了她之后可能也这么想 The beautiful Rhaenys probably thought as much when they met.
她命令梅莉亚公主臣服于她的哥哥伊耿 She demanded Princess Meria kneel to her brother Aegon,
她会保住梅莉亚的性命和财富 though she allowed that on account of Meria's age and health,
只要简单宣誓投降就好 a simple vow of submission would do.
但是公主告诉皇后多恩人不欢迎坦格利安家族 But the Princess told the Queen that the Targaryens weren't wanted in Dorne,
马泰尔家族绝不屈服不管遭受多么猛烈的火攻都一样 and no Martell would ever bow, bend or break no matter how badly they burned.
雷妮丝原本可以立刻召唤龙的 Rhaenys could have mounted her dragon right then
将城堡中的梅莉亚烤死就像她哥哥在赫伦堡所做的一样 and roasted Meria in the castle as her brother had done at Harrenhal.
但是她看到梅莉亚的眼睛 But whatever she saw in Meria's eyes
吓得她立刻返回君临城 scared her right back to King's Landing,
龙也夹着尼巴随之逃走 with her dragon's tail between its legs.
在伊耿登基后 After Aegon's coronation,
雷妮丝和伊耿、维桑尼亚一起带着他们的龙又回到多恩 Rhaenys returned to Dorne with Aegon and Visenya and their dragons.
但是田野没有阵守的军队城堡也没有藐视他们的领主 But no armies met them in the field, and no lords defied them in their castles.
龙靠近的时候，整个多恩大唱空城记 As the dragons approached, Dome simply emptied.
马泰尔家族从赫伦堡和怒火燎原中学到教训了 House Martell had learned from Harrenhal and the Field of Fire.
龙在战斗中是所向无敌的 The dragons were unbeatable in battle,
但战争不一定是战斗 but wars were more than battles.
由于没有对手，伊耿宣布拿下多恩 Unopposed, Aegon claimed Dorne for his own.
但是他一回到君临城 But as soon as he returned to King's Landing,
他的城主就被踢下高塔他的皇家驻军也消失在沙漠中 his castellans were hurled off towers, and his royal garrison vanished in the desert,
从此不见踪影 never to be seen again.
除非风向改变，卷起黄沙或许会透出白骨和盔甲 Except, perhaps, when the winds change and the sands cough up old bones and armor.
雷妮丝骑乘米拉西斯回去 Rhaenys returned on Meraxes,
打算替自己雪耻再次对抗梅莉亚·马泰尔 intent on revenging herself against Meria Martell.
但这次多恩不再是空城 But Dorne was no longer empty.
多恩人就像梅莉亚承诺的 The Dornish kept Meria's promise,
即使在龙火肆虐下他们奋战不懈 and fought even while burning under dragonflame.
而且赢了 And they won.
有人一箭射穿米拉西斯的眼睛龙跌落天空 One day a bolt pierced the eye of Meraxes and knocked the dragon out of the sky.
马泰尔依然坚不可摧雷妮丝就没那么好运了 House Martell remained unbroken, unlike the unfortunate Rhaenys.
愤怒的伊耿和维桑尼亚放火烧了阳戟城之外的城堡和城镇 In their wrath, Aegon and Visenya set flame to every castle and city but Sunspear,
想策反多恩人反抗马泰尔家族 trying to turn the people against House Martell.
但多恩人非常忠诚 But the Dornish stayed loyal,
当伊耿返回君临城 and when Aegon returned to King's Landing,
发现刺客已经埋伏在他的首都街道 he found assassins waiting for him in the streets of his own capital.
要不是有维桑尼亚征服者可能命不长久了 If not for Visenya, the Conqueror would not have enjoyed his Conquest for very long.
从此以后国王和他的家族接受保护 From then on, the king and his family would be guarded
由王国七个最伟大的御林铁卫负责 by the seven greatest knights in the realm, the Kingsguard.
当梅莉亚于睡眠中逝去她儿子软弱疲惫，一心寻求和平 When Meria died in her sleep, her weak and tired son sued for peace.
但老梅莉亚也让伊耿疲惫不堪他同意对方要求 But old Meria had exhausted Aegon as well, and he granted the request.
坦格利安家族还是想得到多恩最后他们也得到了 The Targaryens still wanted Dome, and eventually they would have it,
但不是靠刀剑得天下 but not at the point of a sword.
他们和其他伟大领主一样把领土买过来… They would buy it the same way great lords buy anything...
用女儿去交易 With a daughter.
第 八 章 最后的龙群
征服之后，人们一抬头就看到龙 VISERYS: After the Conquest, when men looked up, they saw dragons.
贵族懂得要垂下目光 Nobles learned to keep their eyes down,
但天神不习惯和别人分享天堂 but the gods weren't used to sharing the heavens.
伊耿死后，总主教率领教团武装反抗 When Aegon died, the High Septon led the Faith and its army in revolt,
声称瓦雷利亚兄妹联婚的传统 claiming that the Valyrian tradition of wedding brother to sister
在七神眼中是大不敬的 was an abomination in the eyes of the Seven.
虽然无人能解释圣母与天父是怎么来的 Though no one could explain where the divine Mother and Father had come from.
我的祖先智者梅葛有些人称他为“残酷的梅葛” My ancestor Maegor the Wise, or Maegor the Cruel, as men slander him,
悬赏捉拿每一个教团武装 put a bounty on the head of every militant priest,
信仰又奇迹似的回归圣堂 and miraculously the Faith soon returned to the septs.
收服了多恩圣堂也安分守己 With Dome in the fold, and the Faith put in its place,
维斯特洛已经没有人反抗我的家族 none in Westeros were left to oppose my family,
所以我们开始窝里反 so we started opposing each other.
在血龙狂舞时期 In the Dance of Dragons,
一名坦格利安公主想窃取哥哥的王位 a Targaryen Princess tried to steal her brother's throne.
由于她的愚行，我们多数的龙都死了 Thanks to her stupidity, most of our dragons died,
幸好最后一只龙把她吃掉了才没有遭毒手 though one thankfully ate her before it did.
但就算没有龙我们还是古老瓦雷利亚的血脉 But even without our dragons, we were still the blood of Old Valyria,
我们同样很危险 which proved just as dangerous.
只可惜有个愚蠢的祖先没发现这点 One of my foolish ancestors didn't see
原本他的私生子不见容于皇室子女 what separated his bastards from our family proper,
他在临死前却给他们正名 and legitimized them all on his deathbed.
给他们黑火这个姓氏 Adopting the name Blackfyre,
这些私生子不改本性试着夺取他们父亲的王国 the bastards proved their nature and tried to seize their father's kingdom.
当他们失败了，换儿子起义 When they failed, their sons tried.
儿子失败了，换孙子起义 When the sons failed, their grandsons tried.
最后“无畏的巴利斯坦”也是御林铁卫的骑士 Until finally Ser Barristan the Bold, knight of the Kingsguard,
在九铜板王之战中杀了“凶暴的”马里斯 slew Maelys the Monstrous in the War of the Ninepenny Kings,
这才结束了黑火家族一脉 ending the last of the Blackfyre line.
最后，少了我们的龙我们的血统又被凡人稀释 Ultimately, without our dragons and with our blood diluted by commoners,
我们看不见最大的危机隐隐待发 we failed to see the greatest threat growing under our noses.
就像俗话说的 JAIME: As the saying goes,
“每当一位坦格利安降生诸神就将硬币抛向空中” "Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin."
伊里斯国王诞生时诸神肯定弄丢了硬币 They must've dropped the one for King Aerys,
起初他似乎躲过家族的疯狂因子 for at first he seemed to have dodged the family madness.
但随着他长大，他开始疑神疑鬼到处看见阴谋者 But as he grew older, he began to see conspirators everywhere,
就算没有阴谋者他也会创造出一个 and where there were none, he worked to create them.
身为他的御林铁卫，我亲眼目睹 As one of his Kingsguard, I saw firsthand
国王无法统治自己的思维更别说统治七国了 that a king who couldn't rule his own mind couldn't rule seven kingdoms.
我们忍受他的统领 We endured his reign
因为我们希望他的儿子雷加继位后 because we hoped his son Rhaegar would right the realm
会是一位好国王 when he ascended to the throne.
结果雷加和他爸爸一样疯狂 But then Rhaegar proved as mad as his father
他抢走北方统领的女儿莱安娜·史塔克 and snatched Lyanna Stark, daughter of the Warden of the North,
她原本已经和风暴地的领主劳勃·拜拉席恩订亲了 and betrothed to Robert Baratheon, Lord of the Stormlands.
莱安娜的父亲和哥哥想讨个公道 When Lyanna's father and eldest brother demanded justice,
疯王却嗤之以鼻的 - The Mad King obliged, -(AERYS LAUGHING INSIDIOUSLY)
处决他们 laughing as he dispensed it.
不满意只杀了两人 VARYS: Unsatisfied with only two murders,
疯王又命令谷地领主琼恩·艾林 the Mad King then ordered Jon Arryn, Lord of the Vale,
处决他的两名义子劳勃·拜拉席恩和艾德·史塔克 to execute his two wards, Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark.
但琼恩·艾林决定反抗 Instead, Jon Arryn raised the Vale in revolt.
奈德·史塔克溜过皇家卫兵的看守在北方起义 Ned Stark slipped past royalist sentries and raised the North,
劳勃一天内连胜三场战役统一了风暴地 and Robert won three battles in a single day to unite the Stormlands behind him,
不过他被一支皇家军队击败被迫逃亡 only to be defeated by a royalist army and forced to flee,
丢下他的家乡风暴地遭敌人围困 leaving his home of Storm's End besieged.
国王之手最后在石堂镇包围了劳勃 SANSA: The Hand of the King finally cornered Robert in the town of the Stoney Sept
他派出士兵挨家挨户搜索叛军首领 and sent his soldiers door-to-door searching for the rebel leader. -(KNOCKING)
但村民讨厌疯王，喜欢劳勃 But the villagers hated the Mad King and loved Robert,
他们轮流藏起劳勃，不让士兵发现 and kept him one step ahead of the soldiers.
最后只剩下一个避难所 Until only one refuge remained.
当士兵接近时，整个城镇钟声大响 As the soldiers closed in, all the town bells rang out.
听到劳勃困境的钟声 -(BELLS TOLLING) - Hearing of Robert's plight,
我们的父亲和琼恩·艾林赶到河间地 our father and Jon Arryn had rushed to the Riverlands
力邀我们的祖父霍斯特·徒利来帮助他们 and enlisted our grandfather, Hoster Tully, to help them.
他们一起赶走国王之手的军队拯救了劳勃 Together they routed the Hand's army and rescued Robert.
为了庆祝和巩固与徒利的结盟 To celebrate and cement the Tully alliance,
我们的父亲娶了我们的母亲凯特琳琼恩·艾林娶了我们的阿姨莱莎 our father wed our mother, Catelyn, and Jon Arryn took our Aunt Lysa.
两周后，两位新郎又赶回战场 Only a fortnight later, both men rushed back into the field,
对付终于苏醒的龙族 for the dragon had finally woken.
在我父亲的士兵节节败退快失去他的王国时 VISERYS: While my father's servants were losing my father's kingdoms,
我的哥哥雷加正忙着搞… my brother Rhaegar had been cooped up with his...
他的情妇？妓女？ Mistress? Whore?
反正那只是他的消遣 Whatever else, I'd call her a distraction.
但现在雷加恢复理智他回到君临城 But now Rhaegar came to his senses and returned to King's Landing.
他劝服我们的父王召来他疏远的朋友 He persuaded our father to summon his estranged friend,
泰温·兰尼斯特王国中最有钱有势力的领主 Lord Tywin Lannister, the richest and most powerful lord in the realm.
雷加自己率领皇家军队 - Rhaegar himself would lead the royal army -(HOOVES THUDDING)
迎击反叛的劳勃 against the usurper, Robert.
在三叉戟河岸 -(SWORD SWISHES) - On the banks of the Trident,
我的哥哥对抗那个妻子被拐走的男人 my brother fought the man whose wife he'd stolen,
对方誓言要杀了我哥报仇 and who fought to steal his birthright in return.
但最后，劳勃想要的更多 In the end, Robert wanted it more.
他的铁锤敲碎我哥哥的盔甲 His hammer shattered my brother's armor
盔甲的红宝石像雨滴似的滚落河中 and its rubies fell into the river like raindrops,
消失在急流中 vanishing in the current.
雷加打了败仗现在劳勃可以直驱君临城 VARYS: With Rhaegar's defeat, nothing stood between Robert and King's Landing.
想像国王在两周后有多惊讶 Imagine the King's surprise a fortnight later
因为他看到门外不是雄鹿旗帜而是狮子旗帜 when he saw not stags, but lions outside his gates.
他的前任国王之手泰温·兰尼斯特 His former Hand, Tywin Lannister,
率领军队抵达首都他的武力连劳勃也无法抗衡 had come to the capital with a force even Robert couldn't match,
他声称前来效忠国王 claiming to be loyal to the king.
伊里斯国王相信了他，下令打开城门 Trusting what he wanted to believe, Aerys ordered the gates opened,
兰尼斯特开始展现武力 and the Lannister forces dutifully began
奸淫掳掠国王的财产 to rape, pillage and murder the king's actual loyal subjects.
当艾德·史塔克和劳勃的军队终于抵达首都 When Eddard Stark finally arrived at the capital with Robert's army,
发现城里到处挂满了兰尼斯特家的旗帜 he found Lannister banners hanging over the sacked city,
坦格利安家的尸体弃置街道 Targaryen corpses littering its streets,
詹姆·兰尼斯特骑士坐在铁王座之上 and Ser Jaime Lannister sitting on the Iron Throne.
疯王伊里斯在他脚下 Below him, the Mad King Aerys,
詹姆骑士誓言保护的国王躺在自己的血泊中 whom Ser Jaime had sworn to guard, lay in a pool of his own blood
一把剑插刺穿了他的后背 from a sword thrust through his back.
艾德领主也许要感谢詹姆骑士帮了王国一个忙 Lord Eddard might've thanked Ser Jaime for doing the realm a favor,
但是他品德高尚 but honorable as he was,
艾德领主谴责詹姆骑士为弑君者 Lord Eddard condemned Ser Jaime as a Kingslayer,
一个他永远无法摆脱的臭名 a name he would never escape.
劳勃和艾德领主不同，他很感谢我的这番贡献 JAIME: Unlike Lord Eddard. Robert appreciated my contribution to his glorious victory.
他赦免我的罪甚至让我继续当他的御林铁卫 He pardoned me for my crime, and even kept me on his Kingsguard
还有巴利斯坦·赛尔弥骑士也是 beside Ser Barristan Selmy,
他在三叉戟河捍卫雷加时受伤了 who'd been wounded at the Trident fighting for Rhaegar.
没错，我们两个都没有尽到保护坦格利安的责任 True, both of us had failed to protect our Targaryen charges,
也许劳勃就是因为这样才特别喜欢我们 but perhaps that's what Robert liked most about us.
我的父亲献给劳勃 When my father presented Robert
雷加的妻子和两名孩子的尸体 with the bodies of Rhaegar's wife and two children,
奈德·史塔克极力要求 Ned Stark hiked up his skirts and demanded
劳勃应该把凶手流放到多恩把我流放到长城 Robert send their killer to Dome, and me to the Wall.
但我看到奈德没有看到的 But I saw what Ned couldn't.
劳勃羞于看到这些尸体 Robert was ashamed of the bodies,
但他更羞于自己的如释重负 and more ashamed of his relief.
他知道雷加的继承人都必须死否则他的王座坐不安稳 He knew that Rhaegar's heirs had to die or his throne would never be safe,
但是光荣的英雄不会杀小孩 but glorious heroes didn't kill children.
他们自然没有处罚杀人者 They simply didn't punish their murderers.
我本来也会落得类似的下场 VISERYS: No doubt I would've suffered a similar fate,
但我父亲有先见之明他把我和怀孕的母亲送往龙石岛 but my father had wisely sent me and my pregnant mother to Dragonstone.
当篡夺者派人要杀我和我刚出生的妹妹 When the usurper heroically sent men to kill me and my newborn sister
来保护他偷来的王座 to protect his stolen throne,
一名忠诚的骑士偷偷带我们渡过狭海，来到厄斯索斯 a loyal knight smuggled us across the Narrow Sea to Essos.
瓦雷利亚最后的龙族命脉 And so the last dragons of Valyria,
伟大王朝的继承人 heirs to the greatest dynasty
来自这个世界最伟大的文明 from the greatest civilization this world has ever known,
如今睡在下水道在巷弄间捡拾残羹剩饭 slept in sewers and foraged for scraps in alleyways,
我们躲过篡夺者的刀口 one step ahead of the usurper's knives
躲过情报总管瓦里斯的耳目 and one step behind the whispers of his spymaster Varys.
但我们不会永远逃命 But we won't run forever.
有一天我会带着军队回到我的王国 One day I'll return to my kingdoms with an army,
拿回我的王座 take back my throne,
让所有的叛徒有债必偿以我们家族唯一认同的代价 and repay all traitors with the only coin my family knows.
血火同源 Fire and blood.
