„What stole?” Dany inconceivable say/way. “偷了什么？”丹妮不可思议道。 „Waffles.” “华夫饼。” „Why does he steal the waffles?” “他干嘛偷华夫饼？” „Gluttonous, Zoan the first time was not went to the kitchen to steal the thing to eat.” Thin and tall Maester shrugged to say. “贪吃呗,锡安也不是第一次去厨房偷东西吃了。”瘦高个学士耸耸肩说。 Then he sizes up Dany, asked: „ Are you Knight Rhaella? I called Parker, economic Maester, is preparing Quill and Tankard to look for you. „ 接着他又打量丹妮一番,问道:“你是蕾拉骑士吧？我叫帕克,经济学学士,正准备去羽笔酒樽找你呢。“ „Hello, Maester Parker, I am Rhaella, why so anxious?” “你好,帕克学士,我是蕾拉,为何这么急？” „Very anxiously, after you reminded, Archmaester Perestan at the same night examined nearly 20 years of customs trade files, the trade deficit compared with fearfulness that we imagined.” “很急,经过你提醒后,佩雷斯坦博士连夜查看了近二十年的海关贸易档案,逆差远比我们想象的更可怕。” „To be honest, I do not know that our Westeros has so many Golden Dragon.” High Maester self-ridicules the forced smile. “说实话,我都不知道咱们维斯特洛有那么多金龙。”高个学士自嘲苦笑。 Several people stood before the steps said several words times, that two tall and strong Acolyte then pilfering food Zoan pulled off the front door. 几人站在阶梯前说了几句话的功夫,那两名身高体壮的助理学士便把偷嘴的锡安拖出大门。 Has a wood/blockhead hut of telephone booth size in the entrance, Acolyte diligently Zoan toward. 在门口有一个电话亭大小的木头小屋,助理学士正努力把锡安往里塞。 Zoan as if fears about the small log cabin extremely, the finger covers the crack in a door, struggles desperately, screamed loudly: „I am hungry, in my family poor, without money goes out on the inn, is really much hungrier steals the Archmaester biscuit, bypasses me!” 锡安似乎对小木屋极度恐惧,手指扣住门缝,死命挣扎,大声尖叫:“我饿呀,我家里穷,没钱出去上馆子,实在饿得慌才去偷博士饼干的,绕过我吧！” „Bang bang bang......” another two Acolyte pay no attention to him from the start, only takes the foot to trample fiercely, kicks the middle-aged apprentice calls, unavoidablily loosens both hands, wooden door „spurting”, closes immediately solid. “嘭嘭嘭......”另外两个助理学士压根不理他,只一个劲儿拿脚猛踹,把中年学徒踢得嗷嗷叫,不得已松开双手,木门“喷”的一下,立即关严实。 After Acolyte locks the thick oak gate, departure of being foul-mouthed, keeps the sound that Zoan knocks at the door and cries loudly crazily alone. 助理学士锁上厚实橡木门后,骂骂咧咧的离去,独留锡安疯狂拍门与嚎哭的声音。 Very pitiful. 很凄惨。 „What's the matter? Will the Citadel apprentice have an empty stomach?” Dany asked. “怎么回事？学城学徒还会饿肚子吗？”丹妮问。 „In ordinary circumstances, not helping Archmaester work to obtain the commission, but Zoan is too old, actually cannot obtain a link, Archmaester as if cannot have a liking for him, but he cannot have a liking for the manual labor of janitor, therefore......” thin and tall Parker shrugs, has not continued again. “一般情况下不会,帮博士干活可以得到佣金,但锡安年纪太大,却始终没能得到一个链环,博士似乎看不上他,而他也看不上杂役的活计,所以......”瘦高个帕克耸耸肩,没再继续说下去。 Dany thinks sets up a stall the old apprentice who sells the book in the Citadel entrance, is the copy clerk who the Oldtown common people write the correspondence, it seems like Pate is not the exceptional case, the day of Citadel apprentice is not liberal. 丹妮不由想到在学城大门口摆摊卖书的老学徒、为旧镇百姓代写书信的文书,看来佩特不是特例,学城学徒的日子都算不上优渥。 May compare with the common people, the apprentice is a top dog. Then, the life of village farmer this/should difficult? 可与普通百姓相比,学徒已经算是人上人了。那么,乡村农夫的生活又该多艰难？ In the Seneschal's Court gate is over 500 square meters spacious hall, the marble floor, four sides the wall has the big arched window, the natural lighting is good. 总管阁门内是一个超过五百平米的宽敞大厅,大理石地板,四面墙壁有高大拱窗,采光非常好。 Dany and Barristan two people iron boots exude the clear sound in the floor, compared with numerous grey robe Maester, their iron armor is too conspicuous. 丹妮与巴利斯坦两人的铁靴在地板发出清脆响声,与众多灰袍学士相比,他们的铁甲太显眼。 However „Rhaella military foremost person in the field” the reputation has started to ferment, coming and going Maesters guesses correctly her status, but also casts the curious inquisition vision in abundance. 不过“蕾拉武状元”的名头已经开始发酵,往来学士都猜出她的身份,还纷纷投去好奇的探究目光。 Dany neglects numerous Maester to look at the unusual look, asked that side guides tall economics Maester: „How long that will Zoan close in the small black room?” 丹妮忽略众学士看稀奇的眼神,问旁边带路高个子经济学学士:“那个锡安会在小黑屋里关多久？” „A day, two days, are indefinite.” “一天,两天,不确定。” The end of hall sets at a stage, above has face thin grey robe old Maester, sees Dany to walk, writes toward a book in the feather pen, while asked: „Rhaella Waters? Then, Knight Squire/attendant, what did you call?” 大厅的尽头置有一座高台,其上有个脸瘦瘦的灰袍老学士,看到丹妮走来,一边用羽毛笔往一本册子上写字,一边问道:“蕾拉·维水是吧？那么,骑士侍从,你叫什么？” „Arstan, I called Arstan Storm.” White Cloak said. “阿斯坦,我叫阿斯坦·风暴。”白骑士说道。 „Storm? Another illegitimate child......” old man takes down the name that Knight sent out, handed over two small wooden signs, a bronze key, „two were the honored guests of Citadel invitation, can take the wooden sign to go to the library borrowing books.” “风暴？又一个私生子......”老头记下骑士报出的名字,又递过来两个小木牌,一把青铜钥匙,“两位是学城邀请的贵客,可以拿着木牌去藏书楼借阅书籍。” Dany received the wooden sign and key, after reads, discovered that the wooden sign writes „Rhaella Waters” and „high-level guest, the jurisdiction is equal to ordinary Maester” the handwriting, the White Cloak wooden sign content and she is similar. 丹妮接过木牌与钥匙,翻看过后,发现木牌写有“蕾拉·维水”和“高级宾客,权限等同于普通学士”的字迹,白骑士的木牌内容与她差不多。 „Why does key use?” She lifts the bronze key to ask. “钥匙干什么用的？”她举着青铜钥匙问。 „You went to the library, naturally understood.” The old man beckons with the hand, starts the inquiry next visitor. “等你去了图书馆,自然就明白了。”老头摆摆手,开始询问下一位来访者。 In the process of crawling staircase, Maester Parker explained: „ Except for the books that all previous Maester compiles, we also purchase the books of any city-state, any national and any writing that anybody brings for a long time. 爬楼梯的过程中,帕克学士解释道:“除了历代学士编撰的书籍,我们还长期收购任何人带来的任何城邦、任何民族、任何文字的书籍。 Several thousand years accumulate, Citadel has to work as in this life the richest book collection. 几千年累积下来,学城拥有当今世上最丰富的藏书。 So many books, a room cannot put down completely, therefore Maester needs to bring the key to open hides the book room front door. ” 那么多书籍,一个房间完全放不下,所以学士需要带着钥匙去打开藏书室的大门。” Archmaester is waiting for Dany in a second floor spacious conference room, two small-scale Sphinx bronze statues stand near the gate, the room of 100 square meters warm tone decoration, the center places one ten meters, two meters wide red wooden table, except for the wooden table and high backed chair, does not have other ornaments again. 博士在二楼一间宽敞会议室等着丹妮,两座小型斯芬克斯铜像立在门边,一百平米的暖色调装饰的房间,中央摆放一条十米长、两米宽的红木桌,除了木桌与高背椅,再无其它摆设。 She arrives, 17-18 old Archmaester are taking one pack of child parchment to quarrel mutually, the golden sunshine projects through the arch glass window on them, Dany can when the light beam see the old men quarrelled spittle that spouted. 她到达的时候,17-18个老博士正拿着一叠子羊皮纸相互争吵,金色阳光通过拱形玻璃窗投射在他们身上,丹妮都能在光柱中看到老头们争吵时喷出的唾沫星子。 „, Miss Rhaella, you come,” Archmaester Perestan sets out to welcome hastily, „happen to bumps into Maester Parker? He just got down.” “啊,蕾拉小姐,你来啦,”佩雷斯坦博士连忙起身相迎,“正好碰上帕克学士的吧？他刚下去。” „Un, meets in the hall entrance.” “嗯,在大厅门口遇到的。” „Everyone,” red nose old man claps the palm of the hand, after attracting the numerous Archmaester attention, is pointing at a Dany introduced: „This is to then have great learning, martial skill excellent Miss Rhaella Waters.” “各位,”红鼻子老头拍拍巴掌,吸引众博士的注意力后,指着丹妮介绍道:“这位便是学识渊博、武技高超的蕾拉·维水小姐。” „Hello, Miss Rhaella, I called Gallard.” Sets out from Dany recent Archmaester immediately, good a ritual, then introduced oneself. “你好,蕾拉小姐,我叫加拉多。”距离丹妮最近的一位博士立即起身,行了一礼,然后自我介绍。 Perestan also said at the right moment: „Gallard is like me, is skilled in the history, he once travelled for pleasure Summer Isles, translates spreads until now Talking Tree ode from the antiquity, compiled famous «Children of Summer».” 佩雷斯坦也适时说道:“加拉多与我一样,精通历史学,他曾经游历盛夏群岛,翻译自上古流传至今的言树颂诗,编写了著名的《盛夏之子》一书。” „Archmaester Gallard, greeting on first meeting greeting on first meeting!” Dany at present one bright, thinks highly to say with a smile: „I have also experienced your writings in Free City!” “加拉多博士,久仰久仰！”丹妮眼前一亮,笑着恭维道:“我在自由城邦也见识过您的大作呢！” This is the truth, like the Citadel crazy collection from world regional books, Dany also wants to build a super library in Slaver's Bay, the marine trader frequently packed with various books to arrive at Astapor, then carries off large quantities of gold and hard sugar, white liquor and other cargos. 这是实话,就像学城疯狂搜集来自世界各地的书籍,丹妮也想在奴隶湾打造一座超级图书馆,海商经常满载各类书籍来到阿斯塔波,然后带走大量黄金和砂糖、白酒等货物。 «Children of Summer» is also famous in Summer Isles, is similar to the Heavenly Dynasty ancient the transcript on the bronze tripod, Summer Isles has life span glorious and huge trees, Talking Tree. 《盛夏之子》在盛夏群岛也非常有名,类似于天朝古人把文字记录在铜鼎上,盛夏群岛有一种寿命悠久、体型庞大的树木,言树。 Canopy of only one tree, can cover the entire small town. 只一棵树的华盖,就能覆盖整个小镇。 Local priestess every year by song and form of legend story, pure white such as the external skin recording local area of paper had, or has heard big event-- Talking Tree to have characteristics in the tree trunk in the past, so long as the tree is also living, the external skin scratch will retain permanently. 当地女祭司每年会以歌曲和传说故事的形式,在树干洁白如纸的表皮刻录当地当年发生、或听闻过的大事件——言树有一种特性,只要树还活着,表皮刻痕会永久保留。 Several thousand years pass by, since their history have then preserved through huge Talking Tree 几千年过去,他们的历史便通过巨大的言树一直保存至今 Proposes one additionally, because of Talking Tree the characteristics, the Slaver's Bay artisan once proposed that makes „the Queen Dany paper” with the Talking Tree skin...... 额外提一句,因为言树的这个特点,奴隶湾的工匠曾提议用言树皮制造“丹妮女王纸”...... When Perestan introduced one by one Archmaester, others are also talking in whispers, discussion at present this strange female Knight. 就在佩雷斯坦挨个介绍各位博士的时候,其他人也在窃窃私语,讨论眼前这个奇怪的女骑士。 „She is quite young.” “她好年轻。” „Indeed young, not over 18 years old, but others first proposed that the concept of trade deficit, depends on this to be able with building an economic link at least.” “的确年轻,不超过18岁,但人家最先提出贸易逆差的概念,就凭这点起码能拿打造一节经济学链环。” „Does not know that she did have the method of solution trade deficit, 14 years that King Robert was in power, Seven Kingdoms drained 16 million Golden Dragon unexpectedly, the terrifying in this way!” “只是不知她有没有解决逆差的法子,劳勃国王当政的14年,七国竟流失了1600万枚金龙,恐怖如斯！” „Last night actually she proposed ‚aristocrat collective repudiating a debt law’, can attempt.” “其实她昨晚提出的‘贵族集体赖账法’,可以尝试一下。” „That will make entire Westeros be sewn on the shame column, was reviled for 10,000 years by the foreigner.” “那会让整个维斯特洛被钉在耻辱柱上,被外国人唾骂一万年。” ...... ...... 18 Archmaester, except for Seneschal oneself, have almost two or over two red copper( history) with the gold( economics) link, and has the cane and ring of copper or dore metal. 十八个博士,除了总管本人,几乎都有两枚或两枚以上的红铜(历史学)与黄金(经济学)链环,并有铜或金银合金的手杖和戒指。 Un, the Citadel apprentice neck was smooth, builds the apprentice of metal link to have the qualifications to become assistant Maester ; Accumulates link enough( ten), when composes the chains , to promote Maester ; Has the extremely thorough research when some division/discipline, or the number of some metal link is over three, having the qualifications becomes Archmaester, Archmaester will act according to its research project to wear to respond the mask, cane and ring metal. 嗯,学城学徒脖子光溜溜,打造了金属链环的学徒有资格成为学士助理;攒够链环(十节),组成锁链时,晋升学士;在某一学科有极深入的研究,或者某种金属链环的数量超过三节时,有资格成为博士,博士会根据其研究项目佩戴响应金属的面具、手杖、戒指。 Gives an example, Archmaester Perestan, he has the silver, gold, lead, iron, black iron, platinum and other links of metal, but his mainly research project is the history, enough five red copper links. 举个例子,佩雷斯坦博士,他有银、黄金、铅、铁、黑铁、白金等多种金属的链环,但他主要研究项目为历史,足足五节红铜链环。 Therefore, his ring, scepter and mask are the copper products. 因此,他的戒指、权杖和面具是铜制品。 You bump into a grey robe person in Citadel casually, so long as sees clearly his appearance, would hardly judge the wrong its status and occupation. 你在学城随便碰到一个灰袍人,只要看清楚他的打扮,几乎不会判断错其身份与职业。 When has seen all Archmaester, Archmaester Perestan directs situated in side Dany the chief old person, „Sir Seneschal, this is Miss Rhaella.” 待见过所有博士,佩雷斯坦博士才将丹妮引到位于首席的老人身边,“总管大人,这是蕾拉小姐。” „Snoring-- snoring--” old person is crooked the neck, exudes the slight snoring sound. “呼噜——呼噜——”老人歪着脖子,发出轻微呼噜声。 In the afternoon the warm sunlight according to the old person, he rests fragrantly in this quarrel continuous room. Can see that his facial features are quite old, the hair almost falls out or off entirely, reveals the baby pink scalp, the cheeks muscle is withered, the pale chicken skin covers entirely the soybean to be big, broad bean big age-spots. 下午温暖的阳光照在老人身上,他在这争吵不休的房间内睡得香甜。可以看到他的面容极为苍老,头发几乎掉光,露出婴儿似的粉红头皮,脸颊肌肉干瘪,苍白鸡皮布满黄豆大、蚕豆大的老人斑。 „Archmaester Walgrave,” half of the day cannot awaken the old person, Perestan must go forward one step, pushed pushing on him gently, „Archmaester, Sir Seneschal, Miss Rhaella came, the conference can formally start!” “沃格雷夫博士,”半天叫不醒老人,佩雷斯坦只得上前一步,在他身上轻轻推了推,“博士,总管大人,蕾拉小姐来了,会议可以正式开始啦！” „Oh, oh, did the conference start?” The old person rubs the nose, sits slowly sets out, only looked at Dany one, suddenly stares, immediately struggles to stand, while shouted loudly: „Your highness makes reparations, the old man does not know that you came, Cressen, Cressen, holds me to pay respect to your highness quickly.” “喔,喔,会议开始了？”老人揉揉鼻子,缓缓坐起身,只看了丹妮一眼,突然一愣,立即一边挣扎着要站起来,一边高喊:“殿下赎罪,老头子不知您来了,克礼森,克礼森,快扶我起来参拜殿下。” Dany does not clarify the condition completely, is astonished, the Archmaester Perestan facial expression is awkward, rises to blush to shout: „Archmaester, your admitting mistakes person, this is Miss Rhaella, moreover Cressen half a century ago went to Storm's End.” 丹妮完全搞不清状况,一脸愕然,佩雷斯坦博士神情尴尬,涨红着脸嚷道:“博士,你认错人了,这是蕾拉小姐,而且克礼森半个世纪前就去了风息堡。” „Pedalled the tread tread......” in this time, a left side wall surface leaf of door opened, a youth apprentice slightly ran over from the next room, supports Archmaester Walgrave to ask: „Archmaester, do you want to do?” “蹬蹬蹬......”正在这时,左侧墙面一扇小门打开,一个青年学徒从隔壁房间小跑过来,扶住沃格雷夫博士问:“博士,您要干什么？” „Pate?” Dany discovered with amazement Pate that the apprentice who has not seen unexpectedly long time, before his complexion no longer, like that ruddy, is pale seems like the excessive loss of blood patient, but pair of cross-eyed had the appearance compared with before. “佩特？”丹妮惊讶发现过来的学徒竟是多日未见的佩特,他的脸色不复之前那般红润,苍白得好像失血过多的病人,但一对斗鸡眼比之前更有神采。 „Hello, Miss Rhaella.” Pate smiled awkwardly, explained low voice: „I am the Archmaester Walgrave assistant, is responsible for assisting him to complete the work, but Archmaester cannot remember my name frequently, regards he is young the assistant when me, Maester Cressen.” “你好,蕾拉小姐。”佩特尴尬笑了一下,小声解释道:“我是沃格雷夫博士的助理,负责协助他完成工作,不过博士经常记不住我的名字,把我当成他年轻时的助理,克礼森学士。” , Dany frowns gradually, she discovered a matter, on Pate once made the makings that she sympathizes with pity not have, instead were many...... to say the dislike, was a little exaggerating, but that type of aura was always unpleasant. 渐渐的,丹妮皱起眉头,她发现了一件事,佩特身上曾经让她同情怜悯的气质没了,反而多了一股让人......说厌恶,有点夸张,可那种气息总让人不愉快。 However this place person is meddlesome, she does not have the time excessively to study the young apprentice's change, that old Archmaester also in restless! 不过此地人多事杂,她也没时间过多研究小学徒的变化,那位老博士还在闹腾呢！ „You are saying anything, after has not paid a visit to a big hurry......” Archmaester Walgrave said one, dull in that muttered was saying: „Yeah, this is Princess Rhaelle, is Princess Rhaella, I have not heard clearly.” “你们在说什么呢,还不快快拜见......”沃格雷夫博士说了一句后,又呆愣在那,喃喃着说:“哎,这位是雷蕾公主,还是雷拉公主,我没听清。” „Should make Archmaester Theobald preside over the conference.” Has Archmaester to cover the face to sigh woefully. “该让席奥博德博士来主持会议的。”有博士捂脸哀叹。 „Oh, does not blame him, Archmaester Walgrave 94 years old, conducts the Seneschal election this year last year time fortunately good, finally only then had the Alzheimer's over the past month.” Nearby Archmaester heaves a deep sigh. “唉,也不怪他老人家,沃格雷夫博士今年94岁了,去年进行总管选举的时候还好好的,结果只过去一个月便得了老年痴呆症。”旁边博士摇头叹息。 The people discuss spiritedly, Dany is awkward and shocking, has not noticed, two 50-year-old copper ring old Archmaester looks take a look at her strangely...... 众人议论纷纷,丹妮又尴尬又震惊,没注意到,有两个50多岁的铜戒指老博士正眼神诡异地打量她......
