上古卷軸5天際精彩書籍節選 盤點那些提神醒腦的好書
先翻譯一段【狼心女王】提神
那一晚,就像所有禮儀和外交事儀應該做的那樣,波圖瑪與國王奧甘姆進行了深入地交流。最後她發現,他是她目前為止在交流方面見過最厲害的人。在開始之前,他給了她吃一些藥品,這讓她感覺自己簡直漂浮在時間表面。意識裡只剩下那些她剛剛做完的,交流的姿勢。她感覺自己就像冰冷的水霧,一次又一次地熄滅熄滅著他的欲火。早上,他親吻著她的臉頰,用他那純白色眼睛看著她,向她道別。她感到心裡被刀捅了一下,名為悔恨的刀。
Potema shared her bed that night with King Orgnum, as it seemed the polite and diplomatic thing to do. As it turned out, he was one of the better lovers she had ever had. He gave her some herbs before beginning that made her feel as if she was floating on the surface of time, conscious only of the gestures of love after she had found herself making them. She felt herself like the cooling mist, quenching the fire of his lust over and over and over again. In the morning, when he kissed her on the cheek, and said with his bald white eyes that he was leaving her, she felt a stab of regret
Barenziah sneaked in a few minutes later.
They ate and drank together gleefully, rejoicing in their escape, and made love vigorously on the narrow cot. Afterward they fell into an exhausted, dreamless sleep.
"We could buy a little farm, you and me, Berry -- and settle down, all nice like."
Peasant! Barenziah thought scornfully. Straw was a peasant and harbored nothing but peasant dreams.
She had no doubt it was going to be a long life yet. And during it she wanted peace, and quiet, and serenity, of her soul as well as of her heart. Peasant dreams. That was what she wanted. That was what the real Barenziah wanted. That was what the real Barenziah was. Peasant dreams.Pleasant dreams
在幾分鐘後Barenziah溜了回來,他們愉快地吃完晚餐,對他們的逃亡充滿了喜悅,在狹窄的床上激烈做愛。後來,他們一起睡著了,疲憊而無夢。
“我們可以買一個小農場,你和我,Berry(巴蘭的化名),安定下來,這是墜吼的!”
農民!Barenziah輕蔑地想。Straw是一個農民,一無所有,除了幻想著卑微農民的生活。
毫無疑問,以後將是漫長的一生。她想要和的是,屬於她的靈魂與內心的,和平,寧靜,與安詳。普通鄉下人的夢,這就是她想要的,這就是真正的Barenziah想要的,這就是真正的Barenziah,鄉村的夢想。
一個好夢。
PS:其實這部書比起小黃本更像寫實的,straw,泰伯,星馬庫斯,夜鶯(以後翻譯),寫的很有連貫性,不過最後結尾其實有點強詞奪理了,巴蘭茲雅明顯是跟了一個國王衣食無憂,這個和鄉村夢想其實毫無聯繫。
【狼心女王】
"For your kindness to an old woman, I've bought you these," she said, giving the boy the necklace and the ring. "You can give the ring to your uncle, and tell him it has been enchanted with a levitation spell, so if ever he needs to leap from high places, it will protect him. The soulgem is for you."
"為了感謝你對我這老婦人的好意,我為你買了這些”她說,給了男孩項鏈和戒指。“你可以把戒指給你叔叔,告訴他這枚戒指有懸浮的魔法,如果他需要從高處跳下,它會保護他。這枚靈魂石是給你的。”
"Thank you," said the boy. "But this is too kind of you."
"Kindness has nothing to do with it," she answered, quite honestly. "You see, I was in the Hall of Records at the Imperial Palace once or twice, and I read about you in the foretellings of the Elder Scrolls. You will be Emperor one day, my boy, the Emperor Pelagius Septim III, and with this soul gem to guide you, posterity will always remember you and your deeds
“謝謝你,”男孩說。“但你也太好了。”
“我沒你想的那麽好”她如實回答。“你看,我去過皇宮的記錄大廳一兩次,我讀到你在上古卷軸的預言。終有一天,你將成為皇帝,我的孩子,皇帝伯拉糾賽普汀三世,這靈魂寶石會指引你,後人將永遠記住你和你的事跡。
The Emperor Magnus Septim dies. His son, who will be known as Pelagius the Mad, is coronated
皇帝馬格努斯賽普汀去世後,他的兒子,將作為瘋王伯拉糾為世人所熟知,加冕為皇帝
PS:《THE WOLF QUEEN》,(狼心女王)波特瑪賽普汀從小就是一個不折不扣的天才,在任何方面都是,比如14歲撬開了藏有上古卷軸的房間的鎖並沒有被發現(沒錯,盜賊工會的人,你們在女王大人面前就是一群垃圾,拳師工會的,你們也一樣!),美麗聰明而出生顯貴,卻被她爹和爺爺因為政治原因嫁給了獨孤城的國王,一個60多的胖老頭,之後她的全部年華都在天際這個破地方度過。天才都是有野心的,她把一切寄托在自己的兒子身上,那個長的像極了泰伯帥小夥,難道不應該是天生的皇帝嗎?她為了這個兒子玩了一輩子陰謀,在最後在紅寶石戰爭,這場帝位爭奪戰中,她的兒子死於非命。
她變得瘋狂,但她依然還是曾經的天才,她臭名昭著的死靈軍隊讓人毛骨悚然,她的詛咒毀滅了之後兩任皇帝,她的仇恨依然徘徊在獨孤城最陰暗的角落,影響著世人,因愛生恨,那匹喪子的母狼......
