Facts showed, Dany guessed mistakenly, others Oldtown aristocrat not „excessive preoccupation with trivia saps the will”, in most situations-- especially in Robert rule period, Tourney on two goals: 1. provides to gain the glory opportunity for the idle egg sore upper class ; 2. provides the entertainment program for the poverty-stricken common people, making them put behind the poverty-stricken life in reality temporarily. 事实证明,丹妮猜错了,人家旧镇贵族并没“玩物丧志”,绝大多数情况下——特别是在劳勃统治时期,比武大会就两个目的:1.为闲的蛋疼的上层阶级提供获取荣耀的机会;2.为穷苦老百姓提供娱乐节目,让他们暂时忘却现实中的困苦生活。 To put it bluntly, Tourney was the large-scale true person show trials of Western middle ages edition. 说白了,比武大会就是西方中世纪版本的大型真人秀选拔赛。 ** The happy theory is still valid here. **乐理论在这儿依然有效。 Dany has not participated in Tourney then to understand this truth, because all she has also studied the Tourney skill. 丹妮之所以没参加过比武大会便明白这个道理,全因为她本人也学习过比武大会的技巧。 Teaches her like the etiquette teacher various city-states and various national general etiquette, Barristan also teaches her in the flowery boxing-- true battlefield of long spear/gun competition, fart without. 就像礼仪老师教她各城邦、各民族通用礼仪一样,巴利斯坦也教她长枪比赛的花拳绣腿——真正的战场上,屁用没有。 Personally has participated in her of many fight, some completely qualifications spoke these words. 亲自参加过多场战斗的她,完全有资格说这句话。 Why said? 为何这么说呢？ The climax in Tourney, jousting: Two fully-armed iron armor Knight take the long and brittle hardwood holds mutually, cannot hold the horse, cannot hold the neck, face and thigh( point deduction), cannot wield strikes can only come to poke me toward you, I poke you, can only attack the chest board armor thickest place roughly. 比武大会中的重头戏,长枪比武:两个全副武装的铁甲骑士拿着长又脆的硬木互捅,不能捅马,不能捅脖子、脸面、大腿(会扣分),不能挥击只能直来直往你戳我,我戳你,大致上只能攻击胸口板甲最厚的地方。 Between two rider is also away from together the low board fence, will not have the horse's hoof to be stumbled, the horse's head will bump into and so on frequently at the miserable matter of true battlefield. 两名骑手之间还隔着一道低矮木栅栏,绝不会发生马蹄被绊,马头相撞之类经常会在真正战场发生的惨事儿。 Moreover the round system, the smooth charge, runs up to the tail from the beginning, middle only then one time the opportunity of holding striking. 而且还是回合制,流畅的冲锋,从头跑到尾,中间只有一次捅击的机会。 Takes a walk in the idle courtyard like graceful Lady. 如同优雅的淑女在闲庭散步。 1 point of this skill in the battlefield with does not have...... wu, is not right, jousting is high to the horse-riding, strength and eyesight request. 这种技能在战场上一点儿用也没......唔,不对,长枪比武对马术、力量、眼力要求非常高。 Simply speaking, can perhaps become the person of Tourney champion not to have the actual combat capability, but has to become the powerful Knight talent absolutely. Therefore, besides the entertainment populace, the feudal lord can also select the warrior through Tourney. 简单来说,能成为比武大会冠军的人也许没有实战能力,但绝对都具有成为强大骑士的天赋。因此,除了娱乐大众,领主还能通过比武大会选拔武士。 If wants to train to kill the enemy the technique, the Tourney least bit uses not to have, may as an exercise the movement of body and equestrian skill, it is also qualified. 如果想训练杀敌技艺,比武大会半点用没有,可作为一项锻炼身体与骑术的运动,它又非常合格。 On the Dany mouth has despised to the long spear/gun sprint skill, body actually following old Knight practiced some time very much honestly. 丹妮嘴上一直对长枪冲刺技巧鄙视不已,身体却很诚实地跟着老骑士练习了一段时间。 Two people arrive at Oldtown, approaches the Honeywine place to see the big piece tent outside city wall. 二人来到旧镇,就在城墙外靠近蜜酒河的地方见到大片帐篷。 Blue color, white, grey, azure and red...... 蓝色、白色、灰色、天青色、红色的...... Tattered, magnificent, spacious such as palace, diminutive as large size sleeping bag. 破烂的、华丽的,宽大如宫殿的、矮小似大号睡袋的。 The setting sun like the blood, in the region that the railing defines, the tent seems the cobblestone of riverside, builds crowded under the city. 残阳如血,围栏划定的区域内,帐篷好似河边的鹅卵石,密集堆砌在城下。 The Knight shield is hanging in the tent entrance respectively, long row of silk draw various family emblem---- pennants to flutter if any with the wind, the fine steel sword and gold-plated Spurs reflect the gloomy red light in the sunset glow. 骑士的盾牌各自悬挂在营帐门口,一长列丝质画着各家族徽——如果有的话——的三角旗随风飘扬,精钢刀剑和镀金马刺在晚霞中反射暗淡红光。 At this time the weather is late, the camp banquet opens greatly, the song sung to a stringed instrument accompaniment is ceaseless, columns of smoke such as in the winter strong winds the white birch forest, crowded, twists is rising the dim backdrop. 此时天色已晚,营地正宴席大开,弦歌不辍,一道道烟柱如冬季狂风中白桦林,密集、扭曲着升上昏暗天幕。 Separates far away, the singer singing sounds and musician wind and stringed musical instruments harp sound, turns the distortion tune to spread to distant Roseroad. 隔得老远,歌手歌声、乐师管弦竖琴声,扭扭曲曲传入远方玫瑰大道。 After approaching, Dany also saw that a giant sea cow was pierced the body by the arm thick tree trunk, the under carbon is fiery red, the above plump fat „scoffs” like the small stream drops the dripping oil juice, is mixing the strange fragrance of pepper, bay and burnt apple, allows to pass through the person to swallow the saliva secretly. 走近之后,丹妮还看到一头巨大的海牛被手臂粗树干洞穿身体,下方碳火红亮,上方肥厚脂肪如小溪般“嗤嗤嗤”地滴淌油汁,混合着胡椒、月桂、焦苹果的古怪香味,让路过之人都暗自吞咽唾沫。 The throat wriggles, the belly cluck makes noise, Dany stares at that sallow sea cow, is not returning said to old Knight: „I also want to participate in Tourney.” 喉咙蠕动,肚皮咕咕作响,丹妮盯着那头焦黄海牛,头也不回地对老骑士道:“我也想参加比武大会。” Old Knight warm Shengquan: „Not all rider are qualified for attending the Ser Tyrell banquet, you enter the camp not to eat these good meals now . Moreover the sea cow looks largely, actually the meat is somewhat thick, but also does not have the beef to be delicious.” 老骑士温声劝道:“并非所有骑手都有资格参加提利尔爵士的宴会,您现在进入营地也别想吃到那些美味佳肴,而且海牛看着肥大,其实肉有些粗,还没牛肉好吃。” Through the inquiry roadside rider, Dany they also clarify this Tourney long and short of the story. 通过询问路边骑手,丹妮他们也弄清这次比武大会的来龙去脉。 As expected, the organizer is the Earl Hightower family, is called the Baelor Brightsmile Earl successor and Lynesse big brother, Baelor Hightower. 不出所料,组织者为海塔尔伯爵家族,人称欢笑贝勒的伯爵继承人、琳妮丝的大哥,贝勒·海塔尔。 But camp central magnificent such as outside the gold-edged pure white tent of palace, is actually hanging Highgarden House Tyrell „green bottom Golden Rose” flag-- is in full bloom Golden Rose above verdant green field. 但营地中央华丽如宫殿的金边纯白营帐外,却挂着高庭提利尔家族的“绿底金玫瑰”旗——一朵盛开于青翠绿野之上的金玫瑰。 The second child of Highgarden Tyrell, Garlan the Galant also came, they unite House Hightower to collect Freerider in Oldtown wantonly, to deal with even more rampant Ironmen pirate. 高庭提利尔家的老二,“勇武的”加兰也来了,他们联合海塔尔家族在旧镇大肆征集自由骑手,以应付越发猖獗的铁民海盗。 Tourney like a giant magnet, Highgarden and Dorne, even Westerlands and Crownlands rider at ease attracts completely. 比武大会就像一枚巨大磁石,把高庭、多恩,甚至西境和王领的闲散骑手全部吸引过来。 Selects a number of fierce collars from Freerider, they have not thought that but asks 35,000 elite cavalries to be easy. 从自由骑手中选拔一批猛领,他们没想过,但找三五千精锐骑兵却轻而易举。 Westeros does not have the view of mercenary, but similar occupation are also many. 维斯特洛没有佣兵的说法,但类似职业也不少。 As Seven Kingdoms of Knight civilization, almost does not have the infantry mercenary, or you must link a horse not to have, the employer cannot have a liking for you from the start, when the mercenary cannot receive the business. 作为骑士文明的七国,几乎没有步兵佣兵,或者说,你要连一匹马都没有,雇主压根看不上你,当佣兵也接不到生意。 According to the position, Westeros Knight is divided into four ranks roughly: Freerider( a person of sword, broken leather armor, wild Knight of nag), hires Knight( by Freerider that feudal lord hires), Landed Knight( was granted Knight of fiefdom by feudal lord), aristocrat Knight( has title, to have the real power aristocrat in fiefdom) 按照身份地位,维斯特洛骑士大致上分为四个等级:自由骑手(一人一剑,一件破皮甲,一匹驽马的野骑士),雇佣骑士(被领主雇佣的自由骑手),有产骑士(被领主赐予封地的骑士),贵族骑士(有爵位、有封地的实权贵族) Dany and Barristan this time status is wild Knight, this person is as numerous as the hairs of an ox in Seven Kingdoms. 丹妮与巴利斯坦此时的身份便是野骑士,这种人在七国多如牛毛。 Naturally, female Knight are few, over overwhelming majorities are very difficult to mix. 当然,女骑士非常少,绝大多数还很难混出头。 For example Brienne the Beauty, Pretty Meris, their both resolve to become great female Knight since childhood, finally...... 比如“美人”布蕾妮,“美女”梅里丝,她们两个都从小立志成为伟大的女骑士,结果...... Oh, was ridiculed even, powerful and ugly like Brienne, the body has ‚lead’ halo, did not know by person sturdy/rape many early. 唉,被人嘲笑就算了,强大、丑陋如布蕾妮,要不是身具‘主角’光环,早不知被人强健多少遍了。 Meris did not have the status of Earl successor, the birth to hire the Knight family ordinary, has not bumped into oneself „Jaime”( Jaime Lannister saved Brienne), the key was looks is far less than the Brienne security, could not mix-- according to red hair Lyra in Westeros completely, her feudal lord led several Knight, knocked to fly her long sword, knocked down her- horseback, then taunted at the same time wantonly, a cincture she. 梅里丝没有伯爵继承人的身份,出生在普通雇佣骑士家庭,又没碰到自己的“詹姆”(詹姆·兰尼斯特拯救了布蕾妮),关键是长得远不如布蕾妮安全,在维斯特洛完全混不下去——据红发莱拉说,她的领主带领几个骑士,磕飞她的长剑,把她打落-马背,然后一边大肆嘲讽,一边轮了她。 Unavoidablily, Meris can only travel to distant lands, goes to Free Cities of next door to be the mercenary, finally her teammate is not the good thing, after being drunk, beast- nature sends greatly, entire mercenary group, over half members turned her...... 不得已,梅里丝只能远渡重洋,去隔壁的贸易城邦当佣兵,结果她的队友也不是什么好东西,喝醉酒后兽-性大发,整个佣兵团,超过半数团员轮了她...... Like the wild animal, rips her double breast, bites to be rotten her ear, gnaws her nose, finally still leaves behind together the deep cross scar in her two sides cheeks respectively. 如同野兽,割掉她的双乳,咬烂她的耳朵,啃掉她的鼻子,最后还在她两边脸颊各留下一道深深的十字疤痕。 Can live to depend entirely on her excellent will and unyielding spirit. 能活下来全靠她过人的意志和不屈精神。 Tattered Prince gave shelter to her fortunately, the Windblown reputation and atmosphere are also better than other mercenary group, Meris with „enlightened ruler”, exposes the talent slowly, becomes outstanding, but also became the Windblown cadre-- interrogation officer. 幸而褴衣亲王收留了她,风吹团的名声、风气也远比其它佣兵团好,梅里丝得遇“明主”,慢慢展露才华,出人头地,还成了风吹团干部——审问官。 Un, it is said Meris can before the interrogated and tortured person dies suffers his one month fully. 嗯,据说梅丽丝能在被拷问的人死前整整折磨他一个月。 Ice and Fire world, is extremely brutal to the woman, the aristocrat girl was taken away to marry, or by a status higher big aristocrat played with( her family member mostly happy so). 冰与火的世界,对女人太过残酷,贵族女孩被拿去联姻,或者被身份更高的大贵族玩弄(她的家人多半乐的如此)。 Ordinary families' girls are more miserable, attractive by feudal lord master sturdy/rape, ugly......, are you ugly can also be uglier than Brienne the Beauty? 普通人家的女孩更惨,漂亮的被领主老爷强健,丑的......唉,你再丑还能比“美人”布蕾妮丑？ Even her multiple pure and chaste do not guarantee. 连她都多次贞洁不保。 Regarding ability...... 至于说能力...... If high martial arts and magic said fortunately, but powerful such as Brienne and Meris, could the one-to-one anus turn the male warrior, the luck good 0.1 pairs two, a pair three also to win, when the enemy is over five, even Arthur Dayne has not grasped saves the life. 要是高武、高魔还好说,可强大如布蕾妮、梅里丝,也许能一对一肛翻男性武士,运气好点一对二,一对三也能赢,但敌人超过五个时,连亚瑟·戴恩都没把握保住性命。 Crosses the martial arts contest camp, is lining up to wait for across city gateway time, old Knight approaches the Dany small sound said: „Sir, the woman cannot participate in Tourney.” 越过比武营地,排着队等待穿过城门洞的时候,老骑士凑近丹妮小声道:“大人,女人不能参加比武大会。” The weather sinks secretly, by the city gate has selected to light a fire the stage, because must conduct Tourney in the near future, catches up with wild Knight that to be many from each region, the city gate waits for the rider and carriage of lining up to be many. 天色暗沉,城门两边已经点燃火台,因为近期要举办比武大会,从各地赶来的野骑士较多,城门等着排队的骑手、马车非常多。 „This Tourney mainly to recruit the rider, had not defined that the status of player, putting on face armor who knows that I am male am female?” Dany asked back with a smile. “这次比武大会主要是为了招募骑手,并没限定参赛选手的身份,戴上面甲谁知道我是男是女？”丹妮笑着反问。 The Tourney rule is basically fixed, but according to the difference of venue, conducting the person is different, certain small details may distinguish. 比武大会的规则大致固定,但根据举办地点的不同,举办人性格不同,某些小细节可能会有所区别。 For example believes the The Seven feudal lord devotionally, conducts Tourney in the name of The Seven in main house gate, then may stipulate very much, only allows to smudge the regular Knight participation of Saint oil. 比如一位虔诚信仰七神的领主,以七神的名义在家门口举办比武大会,便很有可能规定,只允许涂抹圣油的正规骑士参赛。 But Tourney in Westeros is the social activity that one type is known to everybody to be known to everybody, is almost similar to the Spring Festival of Asian, in most situations, so long as you have the horse, who can attend the competition. 但比武大会在维斯特洛是一种无人不知无人不晓的社会活动,几乎类似于亚洲人的春节,多数情况下,只要你有马,谁都能来参加比赛。 Even if stipulated that does not allow the woman to participate, still no one goes to inspection competition Knight willy. 即便规定不允许女人参赛,也没人去一个个检查比赛骑士的小吉吉。 Glimpses nearby some people to look, the Dany look is invariable, the pursing the lips lip, continues saying: „ I may know Barristan ‚fearless’ how title must come. 瞥见附近有人望过来,丹妮神色不变,抿了抿嘴唇,继续说道:“我可知道巴利斯坦‘无畏的’称号如何得来的。 50 years ago Blackhaven Tourney, are only ten -year-old Barristan does not know that which in „picking” one set of armor, attended the competition by the mysterious Knight status, even also dares to challenge Prince Duncan. 五十年前的黑港比武大会,才十岁的巴利斯坦也不知在哪“捡”了一套铠甲,以神秘骑士的身份参加比赛,甚至还敢挑战邓肯王子。 Finally was defeated by Prince, but also was opened face armor, causes to present everyone to ridicule to him loudly. 结果被王子打败,还被挑开面甲,引得在场所有人对他大声嘲笑。 Prince of Dragonflies has the favorable impression to him very much, not only expressed the sympathy and appreciation meaning, end, but also delivers him one ‚Barristan the Bold’ nickname. ” 龙芙莱王子却对他很有好感,不仅表达了同情与赞赏之意,末了,还送他一个‘无畏的巴利斯坦’的绰号。” Old Knight may be called one living history book, even the first-generation breaking an engagement male knew. 老骑士堪称一本活着的历史书,连第一代退婚男都认识。 „Armor is not picks,” the old Knight look shakes the head disappointed, „at that time he was Ser Manfred Swann Knight Squire/attendant, knew that he had to participate in the idea of Tourney, Ser several sons then collects money to build one set of small-scale iron armor for him.” “铠甲不是捡的,”老骑士神色怅然地摇摇头,“当时他是曼佛德·史文爵士的骑士侍从,得知他有参加比武大会的想法,爵士家几个儿子便凑钱为他打造了一套小型铁甲。” 50 years pass by, let alone had taken care of big Knight, the little friend of childhood also has even been no longer living, wants to come really moved. 五十年过去,别说曾经服侍过的大骑士,连儿时的小伙伴也早已不在人世,想来真让人伤感。 Oldtown and Volantis is a little similar, in both all enter a city the estuary package of river course, but Honeywine is inferior to the Rhoyne width, the water volume was also lower, the river surface has many limestone arched bridges. 旧镇与瓦兰提斯有点相似,两者皆把河道的入海口包裹进城内,不过蜜酒河不如洛恩河宽,水量也低了很多,河面有很多灰石拱桥。 The river center also has twinkle star several islands, in the island constructs the big house, connects through the stone bridges and both banks, there is neighboring near islands, between also established the arch stone bridge. 河中心也有星星点点的几座小岛,岛上多建有高大房屋,通过石桥与两岸连接,也有相邻较近的岛屿,之间也建立了拱形石桥。 Neglects the western-style architectural style, Dany has to plant the misconception of coming to Yangzhou Qinhuai River, the river both banks three four layers high bricks and stones buildings stretch out colored paper lanterns. 忽略西式建筑风格,丹妮有种来到扬州秦淮河的错觉,河两岸三四层高的砖石楼房伸出一盏盏彩纸灯笼。 Along the river the passers-by walks leisurely and carefree, the river surface also brilliantly illuminated pleasure boat, the powder greets the nostrils, the woman smiles tenderly with the sound that the guitar and lute sounded rhythmically may hear indistinctly. 路人沿河悠闲行走,河面还有一叶叶灯火辉煌的花船,脂粉扑鼻,女人娇笑与琴瑟鸣奏的声音隐约可闻。 „Day, the base is huger than Old Ghis Great Pyramid, Hightower, really lives up to reputation!” “天呐,基座比旧吉斯大金字塔还庞大,参天塔,果然名不虚传!” Actually sees tall tower who extends the indigo curtain of night in the city outside, 240 meters high construction, its top combustion flaming roaring flame, provides the most explicit terrain feature for the contact Whispering Sound sea boat. 其实在城外便看到伸展进靛青夜幕的高塔,240米高的建筑,其顶层燃烧熊熊烈焰,为往来低语湾的海船提供最明确的方向标。 After shocked the discovery, Hightower occupied entire islands, was huge looks like a big castle, rough estimate, over 10,000 square meters. 靠近之后才震撼发现,参天塔占据了一整座岛屿,庞大得像一个大城堡,粗略估计,超过一万平米。 „Naturally, Hightower, but one of the world nine big Wonders!” “当然,参天塔可是世界九大奇迹之一呢！”
