Dany draws Pate to a corner spatial table sits down, asked: „You not, when Maester?” 丹妮把佩特拉到角落一张空桌坐下,问:“你不当学士了？” „I think certainly, Maester can ride Malaysia that the feudal lord is granting, passes through-- this from the marketplace common people proudly is I in the dream has experienced the happiest matter. But I am too stupid, five years cannot build a link.” Pate depressed say/way. “我当然想,学士能骑着领主赏赐的大马,骄傲地从市井百姓面前走过——这是我在梦中经历过的最美好之事。可我太笨,五年也没能打造出一节链环。”佩特沮丧道。 Really realistic, had self-knowledge very much. 真现实,也很有自知之明。 The social class solidification of this world is too serious, the grass-root common people almost do not have the up-going channel, Maester to be equivalent „ultra match the version imperial civil service examination lowly”. 这个世界的阶级固化太严重,底层百姓几乎没有上升通道,学士就相当于“超低配版科举”。 Maester can indeed the high common people first-grade, but they are only one of the feudal lord staff, its treatment missed ‚successful candidate master’ several hundred streets. 学士的确能高普通百姓一等,可他们只是领主的幕僚之一,其待遇差了‘进士老爷’几百条街。 But must become Maester of aristocrat family/home, is more difficult than successful candidate. 但要成为贵族家的学士,远比中进士更难。 Which does not propose academic aspect to be profounder, the successful candidate three years one round, can always select a group of people each time. Westeros has the qualifications to raise the Maester feudal lord( real power Earl and above title), only then 200-300, Maester does is for a lifetime. 不提学术方面哪个更精深,进士三年一轮,每次总能选拔一批人。维斯特洛有资格养学士的领主(实权伯爵及以上爵位)只有200-300家,学士一干就是一辈子。 What is severer, Maester is not fastidious about „30 to be always well-versed in the classics, 50 few successful candidates” , the feudal lord in oneself old Maester person before the wood, will generally choose young and promising youngster Maester to come the family belongings substitution. 更严酷的是,学士不讲究“三十老明经,五十少进士”,一般情况下,领主会在自家老学士人将就木之前,选择年轻有为的少年学士来家当替补。 Similar Pate, even if he depends on diligently, finally becomes real Maester in 40 years old, 90% possibly still no one wants, the remaining years of life must waste time in Citadel, like Citadel that grey robe Maester that do not have the employer innumerably. 类似佩特,即便他靠着努力,终于在40岁成为一名真学士,90%可能也没人要,余生只得在学城蹉跎,就像学城那无数没有雇主的灰袍学士一样。 This has not raised Maester that the aristocrat second son comes, the competition is extremely really fierce. 这还不提贵族次子出身的学士,竞争实在太过激烈。 Dany also asked: „You now how much money?” 丹妮又问:“你现在有多少钱？” „Nine Silver Stag, 40 Copper Star, 200 copper coins.” “九枚银鹿,四十枚铜星币,两百个铜板。” A little miserable. 有点惨。 Golden Dragon = 210 Silver Stag, a Silver Stag = 7 copper star, a copper star = 16 copper coin. 一枚金龙枚银鹿,一枚银鹿枚铜星,一枚铜星枚铜板。 Un, the Westeros currency is complex, only the copper coin, is divided into the copper star, the copper wheat, half copper wheat, the copper cent and copper coin, altogether five types, from high to low, exchange in the binary mode. 嗯,维斯特洛的货币非常复杂,只铜币,便分为铜星、铜麦、半铜麦、铜分币、铜板,一共五种,从高到低,以二进制形式兑换。 For example, a copper star = two copper wheat 比如,一枚铜星=两枚铜麦 You think that this is for giving change? 你以为这是为了方便找零？ No, few people can give change in the currencies of different metal. 不,很少有人能够在不同金属的货币间找零。 The exchange proportions among various currencies were too complex, let alone these illiterate person farmers and mercenaries, many commerce cannot calculate continually, without the abacus, without the calculator, often finds fault money. 各种货币之间的兑换比例太复杂了,别说那些文盲农夫、佣兵,连很多商贩都算不过来,没有算盘,没有计算器,往往找错钱。 The personal experience of Dany, Silver Stag buys the same thing, bought twice, the boss looked for the copper coin quantity is not inconsistent finally. 丹妮的亲身经历,一枚银鹿买同样东西,前后买了两次,结果老板找回来铜钱数量不一致。 Why before she could not master this world person to do the currency such complex, waited for to become Queen, after obtaining Slaver's Bay several million Golden Dragon, Dany somewhat was gradually clear. 之前她也搞不懂这个世界的人为何把货币搞这么复杂,等成为女王,得到奴隶湾几千万金龙之后,丹妮渐渐有些明白了。 A few words, the social wealth assigns extremely unevenly. 一句话,社会财富极度分配不均。 With the Westeros example, over ten thousand years of history. Casterly Rock dug several thousand years of gold ore, according to the Lannister astute vigor, many of absolutely entering, few of going out, so then accumulated the countless gold coin. 拿维斯特洛举例,超过万年的历史。凯岩城挖了几千年金矿,按照兰尼斯特的精明劲儿,绝对进的多,出去的少,如此便累积了无以计数的金币。 If nothing else, Tywin lent Robert at least three million Golden Dragon, cash. 别的不说,泰温借给了劳勃至少三百万金龙,实打实的现金。 But entire Westerlands less than 1 million population, the average, a Lannisport beggar also has three Golden Dragon at least. 而整个西境都不足一百万人口,平均下来,兰尼斯特港的一个乞丐也起码有三个金龙。 But we know that „average GDP” is how pit father's data, over half people actually in „is a drag on country”. 可我们都知道“平均GDP”是个多么坑爹的数据,超过半数人其实都在“拖国家后腿”。 Big of Westeros gap between rich and poor, almost...... 维斯特洛贫富差距之大,几乎...... Oh, very difficult analogy, but can have a look at opposite frivolous young man Pate. 唉,很难比喻,但可以看看对面惨绿少年佩特。 His position, has actually surpassed the national nine adults, but, Pate is also normally hard to accumulate for a lifetime enough belongs to oneself that Golden Dragon. 他的身份地位,其实已经超过全国九成人,但正常情况下,佩特一辈子也难以攒够属于自己的那枚金龙。 Even his luck is good, the lower part is smooth, not gets sick without the disaster, may according to his contributing money speed, wait to sufficiently collect Golden Dragon, Rosey has become Emma( her mother). 即便他运气好,下半身顺风顺水,无病无灾,可按照他这攒钱速度,等凑足一枚金龙,萝希早已成了艾玛(她妈)。 It can be said that in currency maximum scale „Golden Dragon”, almost does not have the significance to him. 可以这么说,货币中最高档次的“金龙”,对他几乎没有意义。 Golden Dragon does not have the significance to the average person, but the national economy wants the normal development, must have the face value balanced currency system. 金龙对普通人没有意义,但国家经济要正常发展,就必须有面值均衡的货币体系。 Like reality world, there is one Yuan, five Yuan, ten Yuan, 20 Yuan, 50 Yuan, the currency of 100 Yuan face value. 就像现实世界,有一元,五元,十元,二十元,五十元,一百元面值的货币。 Saw? 看到了吗？ Almost is similar to the Westeros five bronze currencies, almost rises-- perhaps many people useless two Yuan rmb in the form of binary system? 几乎与维斯特洛的五种铜质货币差不多,差不多以二进制的形式升高——恐怕很多人都没用过两元的rmb吧？ If there is copper coin, most common people can reckon up the account, the quantity are small, the highest-quality copper star also exchanges 16 copper coins. 如果只有铜币,大部分老百姓还是能算清楚账的,数量少嘛,最高级的铜星也才兑换16枚铜板。 The plus-minus method in tens digit, the brain does not have the commerce of issue to reckon up. 十位数以内的加减法,脑子没问题的商贩都能算清。 But in addition silver coin, especially terrifying „Golden Dragon”, that fearful astronomical figures almost can let break off the person collapse that the finger is doing accounts. 但加上银币,特别是恐怖的“金龙”,那可怕的天文数字几乎能让掰着手指头算账的人崩溃。 A Golden Dragon = 23520 copper coin! 一枚金龙枚铜板！ If Dany goes to the street to buy the meat intestines of two copper coins with Golden Dragon, how the opposite party should get money? 如果丹妮用金龙去街头买两个铜板的肉肠,对方该怎么找钱呢？ Counts the copper coin? 数铜板？ When you take inventory 23518 copper coins, first did not say that can count, that time that the waiting gets money, enough Dany finished eating 100 meat intestines--, if she can eat up. 等你清点完23518枚铜板,先不说能不能数得过来,等待找钱的那段时间,足够丹妮吃完100根肉肠了——如果她能吃得下。 Only can get money with the mixed currency, then involved the complex computational process. 只能用混合货币找钱,然后就涉及到复杂的计算过程了。 Now my in the hand has many Silver Stag, many copper stars, many...... 现在我手里有多少枚银鹿,多少枚铜星,多少...... motherfucker, if I can depend on do mental arithmetic, figured out the accurate answer fast, the father goes to Citadel to build gold/metal chain( to represent arithmetic) early, why to sell the meat intestines on the avenue?! mmp,如果我能凭心算,快速算出准确答案,老子早去学城打造金项链(代表算术)了,何必在大街上卖肉肠？！ That young stall keeper thinks certainly. 那位小摊贩一定会这么想。 Actually must solve this complex currency problem is very simple, hits the local tyrant to divide the property, turns the local tyrant who Lannister, Iron Bank and Dragon Queen these store up the gold coin crazily dry/does, lets the gold coin truly as the circulation of money. 其实要解决这个复杂的货币问题也很简单,打土豪分财产,干翻兰尼斯特、铁金库、龙女王那些疯狂囤积金币的土豪,让金币真正作为货币流通起来。 The gold coin on market were many, naturally can reduce with the exchange proportion of silver coin. 市面上的金币多了,与银币的兑换比例自然会降低。 According to this world existing huge gold storage capacity, with extremely scarce population, can definitely build „a Golden Dragon = 10 Silver Stag = 100 copper coin” such simple direct currency system. 按照这个世界现有的庞大黄金储存量,与极其稀少的人口数量,完全能打造“一枚金龙枚银鹿枚铜板”这样简单直接的货币体系。 But that proverb, the Ice and Fire world gap between rich and poor is too terrifying. 可还是那句老话,冰与火的世界贫富差距太恐怖。 If the aristocrat does not purchase the luxury goods, the economy and in grain crops enough he territory rambled for a lifetime, was said that that „parsimonious” feudal lord, during the life only had the income, without expense. 如果贵族不购买奢侈品,领地内的经济、粮食作物就够他逍遥一辈子了,也即是说,那个“吝啬的”领主,一生当中只有进账,没有花销。 Even if one year only accumulates ten Golden Dragon...... 即便一年只攒十枚金龙...... In Westeros, your family millennium above history, will not have been ridiculed „wealthy villager” the-- premise is you must have a lot of money. 在维斯特洛,你的家族没有千年以上的历史,会被人嘲笑成“土财主的”——前提是你要有很多钱。 Similar Littlefinger such is poor and background is superficial, the aristocrat never ridiculed him, because they have not worked as the companion with him from the start. 类似小指头那样又穷又底蕴浅薄的,贵族从不嘲笑他,因为他们压根没拿他当同伴。 For example, somebody was sprinkled one bottle of mineral water at the speech congress, the big pony has been certainly teasing somebody in secret, but some throws the street hot flour, even if were pushed in the river, the big or small jockey club does pay attention to him? 比如,某人在演讲大会上被泼了一瓶矿泉水,大小马一定在私底下取笑过某人,可某个扑街热干面即便被人推河里,大小马会关注他吗？ Obviously not, even ridiculed, should still only happen in the circle of status same scale. 显然不会,即便嘲笑,也只会发生在身份同档次的圈子内。 Returns to the subject, one millenniums „small” aristocratic family, one year ten Golden Dragon, can accumulate 10,000, is counted the entire aristocrat circle, golden as if insufficiently they of new mining divide. 回归正题,一个千年“小”世家,一年十枚金龙,也能攒一万枚,算上整个贵族圈子,新开采的黄金似乎都不够他们分的。 So, the aristocrat and big merchant following social class, almost do not have Golden Dragon available. 如此,贵族、大商人以下的社会阶级,几乎没金龙可用。 Golden Dragon is unusual, the value naturally rose-- normally, the country should step at this time. 金龙稀奇,价值自然就升高——按说,这时候国家该出面干涉了。 But the aristocrat is equal to the country, the aristocrat has completely Golden Dragon, the Golden Dragon appreciation, is equal to the aristocrat getting rich, the aristocrat gets rich to be equal to the country getting rich, such country, will only try hard to promote Golden Dragon to appreciate, making the metal currency the exchange proportion even more unbalanced. 可贵族等于国家,贵族拥有全部金龙,金龙升值,等于贵族发财,贵族发财等于国家发财,那样的国家,只会努力推动金龙升值,让金属货币的兑换比例越发失衡。 -- final, the common people were oppressed on the reluctant warm and sufficient condition reference line( only in Summer), even if the aristocrats lead a befuddled life as if drunk or dreaming, can still the family property great wealth, rich then have the strength, had the strength to maintain for ten thousand years to rule, was very free! ——最终,老百姓被压迫在勉强温饱的基准线上(只在夏天),贵族们即便醉生梦死,也能家财万贯,有钱便了有力量,有了力量就能维系万年统治,好不逍遥！ This, is Tywin can relaxed throw million Golden Dragon boldly, buys a sword, but for a lifetime reason that the Pate struggle actually cannot preserve the girlfriend pure and chaste. 这,便是泰温能轻松豪掷百万金龙,去买一柄剑,而佩特奋斗一辈子却保不住女友贞洁的原因了。 Dany hesitates was asking: „If you bring Rosey to elope, whether from now on will be capable of supporting the oneself small family/home otherwise?” 丹妮沉吟着问:“如果你带着萝希私奔,今后是否有能力否养活自己的小家呢？” Pate said: „What I am coming the Citadel first two years study is the astronomy, not passed through an Archmaester's examination, actually also understands the skill that stargazing and calculation of season some foundations fluctuates, could help the aristocrat master manage the village.” 佩特说:“我来着学城头两年学的是天文学,没通过博士的考核,却也懂一些基础的观星与推算季节变幻的技巧,也许能帮贵族老爷管理村庄。” Dany nods, this four seasons unclear world, by the ability of Pate resolution sowing seeds time, is a village head to have more than enough to spare. 丹妮点点头,这个四季不明的世界,以佩特分辨播种时间的能力,当个村长绰绰有余。 Pate continued: „ After hanging the branch, I realized that the oneself head is a little stupid, becoming Maester is a little dangerous, therefore chose had the serviceable subject. 佩特继续说:“挂科之后,我认识到自己脑瓜有点笨,成为学士有点悬,于是选择了更具适用性的科目。 Un, I pay closer attention to the Ebrose medicine Archmaester course. 嗯,我把更多精力放在安布罗斯医学博士的讲座上。 Three years later, I have not obtained the silver link( silver to represent medicine), how actually also understands to set a broken bone, how to bring down a fever with the leech bloodletting. When the countryside doctor of Chinese medicine of wandering four directions is also good. ” 三年后,我还是没获得银链环(银代表医学),却也懂得如何接骨,如何用水蛭放血退烧。当个云游四方的乡下郎中也不错。” „Good, good.” The Dany nod said. “不错,不错。”丹妮点头称赞道。 Although the leech bloodletting a little pit, but in this scientifically underdeveloped world, the leech therapy is almost in the medicine one of the most mainstream branches. 虽然水蛭放血有点坑,但在这个科技落后的世界,水蛭疗法几乎是医学中最主流的分支之一。 What sickness regardless had, can first make the leech attract two to try, perhaps good? 无论得了什么病,都可以先让水蛭来吸两口试试,也许就好了呢？ In any case no big side effect. 反正没啥大的副作用。 Also therefore, this world „leech industry” is prosperous, laborious day in field, might as well go to the river to catch several obese leeches to make money. 也因此,这个世界的“水蛭产业”非常繁荣,在田里辛苦一天,也不如去河里逮几条肥肥胖胖的水蛭赚钱。 Un, Maesters infinitude purchase leech. 嗯,学士们无限量收购水蛭。 Obtains Dany to commend, studying dregs Pate is also very excited , to continue saying: „After medicine inspection failure, I minored in the curriculum of barber, before long, I can help the person tonsure and shave, in city, when the barber can also support Rosey.” 得到丹妮赞许,学渣佩特也很兴奋,继续道:“医学考核失败后,我又兼修了理发师的课程,过不了多久,我就能帮人剪发和刮胡子了,在城里当个理发师也能养活萝希。” „Very good, very good!” Dany even more appreciated this boy. “很好,很好！”丹妮越发欣赏这小子了。 Although studies a little dregs, but others are not stupid, had several keeping a family abilities, can be the barber in the city, can wander around to be barefoot doctor, can return to a countryside old family belongings young village head. 虽然学习有点渣,但人家并不愚蠢,掌握了好几门养家糊口的本领,可以在城里当理发师,可以四处流浪当个赤脚医生,也能回乡下老家当个小村长。 It seems like Citadel does not have no merit to speak of! 看来学城也并非一无是处嘛！ Dany thinks, is staring at his brown pupil, said earnestly: „ Golden Dragon and a copper coin have no difference to me, but I will not help a brothel customer pay to chase the capital. 丹妮想了想,盯着他褐色的眸子,认真道:“一枚金龙和一枚铜板对我没什么区别,但我绝不会帮一位嫖客支付嫖资。 If on some on the morning of 1st, I heard you to have the news that Rosey is eloping, will help you paid to make Emma satisfied ‚lottery prize money’ immediately. So, you and your little girlfriend were thorough the freedom. ” 如果在某一日早晨,我听到你带着萝希私奔的消息,会立即帮你支付让艾玛满意的‘彩金’。如此,你和你的小女友便彻底自由了。” „What's wrong?” “如何？” „Thank you, Miss Rhaella, I will seriously consider.” Pate serious say/way. “谢谢您,蕾拉小姐,我会认真考虑的。”佩特郑重道。 Now gives him Golden Dragon to be very simple, to Dany is not anything, but this goods the heat degree, will vent then to cool by some chance for a while from now on, decided to go back to continue to work as the promising Maester apprentice, that...... 现在给他一枚金龙很简单,对丹妮也不算什么,可万一这货只是一时热度,发泄过后便冷却下来,决定回去继续当个有前途的学士学徒,那...... Dany will die disgustingly. 丹妮会恶心死。 „Only feared that the Sir your pains will waste,” old Knight appears side Dany like a spirit, sat said in the Pate position, „the fervor of young people came quickly, went quickly, before was only the frantic ideal, went back to think peacefully perhaps one will regret late. What is more important is he has many intimate friends in Citadel, the friendship fetters are not so easy to give up.” “只怕大人您的一番苦心会白费了,”老骑士如幽灵般出现在丹妮身边,坐在原本佩特的位置说,“年青人的激情来得快,去得更快,之前只是狂热的理想,回去安静想一晚也许就会后悔。更重要的是他在学城有不少知心朋友,友情的羁绊并非那么容易割舍。” „Perhaps, has the opportunity to help others change lifetime ‚small busy’, why not?” Dany shrugs, asks: „How do you see to the Seven Kingdoms present situation?” “也许吧,有机会帮别人一个改变一生的‘小忙’,何乐而不为？”丹妮耸耸肩,问道:“你对七国如今的形势怎么看？”
