Game of Thrones Season 6: Long-Scattered Characters ReunitedSet images from Game of Thrones Season 6 have started to float around on the Internet. And despite the fact that book readers don’t know ex-actly what’s coming, we’re still able to use some book knowledge to make an educated guess or two.《權(quán)力的游戲》第六季的片場照已經(jīng)開始在網(wǎng)上散播。盡管原著讀者們不清楚下面劇情的確切走向，我們還是可以通過書中的部分情節(jié)，做出合理的猜測。
Recently an image of Kit Har-ington in Stark armor leaked online, seeming to confirm the previous rumor that Lord Commander Snow was going to lay down his blacks in order to lead a northern rebellion against the nasty Boltons and take back Winterfell. Well, that was not the only battle photo that has leaked. Here’s one that went up on Imgur that, at first glance, doesn’t seem all that exciting.最近，一張基特·哈靈頓身穿史塔克家族鎧甲的照片在網(wǎng)上流出，看來證實了此前的傳聞，守夜人總司令雪諾將脫下黑袍，率領(lǐng)北境大軍對抗卑劣的波頓家族，奪回臨冬城。不過，曝光的不僅只有這張戰(zhàn)斗場面的照片。還有張照片出現(xiàn)在Imgur網(wǎng)站上，乍看起來，似乎不怎么令人激動。
That’s just a bunch of mud and straw and banners and the backs of men you don’t recognize. The key, though, is the banners. It’s pretty easy to identify a few sigils including the direwolf of House Stark, the bear of House Mormont, and, as Watchers on the Wall[1] discovered, the brown moose of House Hornwood. Now you’re for-given if the name Hornwood doesn’t exactly send a chill down your spine. And even though I’m pretty excited to meet the young girl in charge of House Mormont[2] after the sassy letter she sent Stannis last season...這張照片上只有一堆泥土、稻草、旗幟和你認(rèn)不出的一些男人的背影。不過，關(guān)鍵是那些旗幟，很容易就能從上面辨認(rèn)出幾個家族族徽，包括史塔克家族的冰原狼、莫爾蒙家族的熊，根據(jù)粉絲社區(qū)“長城守望”的新發(fā)現(xiàn)，還有霍伍德家族的褐色駝鹿。如果霍伍德這個姓氏沒有讓你感到不寒而栗的話，那也情有可原。雖然我很高興看到執(zhí)掌莫爾蒙家族的小姑娘，她在上一季給史坦尼斯送來了那封無禮的信……[1]《權(quán)力的游戲》及其原著《冰與火之歌》的粉絲們發(fā)布相關(guān)新聞和評論的在線交流社區(qū)。[2] 指熊島（Bear Island）統(tǒng)治者梅姬·莫爾蒙（Maege Mormont）夫人最小的女兒萊安娜·莫爾蒙（Lyanna Mormont），現(xiàn)在大概10 歲。當(dāng)史坦尼斯·拜拉席恩寫信給北境諸侯們，希望他們臣服于自己時，萊安娜回信拒絕了，并表示莫爾蒙家族只會臣服于史塔克家族。
...none of the newcomers are the Northerners we’re looking for. The key to this plot, actually, is in that let-ter from young Lyanna Mormont. The northern armies wouldn’t fight for Stannis because he was an interloper. They will, however, fight for a Stark, and luckily enough, there are several Starks on hand. First of all, Rickon, a.k.a. the littlest Stark, has been holed up north with House Umber since Sea-son 3. We know actor Art Parkinson has been spotted around the Game of Thrones set so it’s possible the north-ern troops are rallying around him.……新登場的角色沒有一個是我們正在尋找的北境人。實際上，這個情節(jié)的關(guān)鍵在于年幼的萊安娜·莫爾蒙送來的那封信。北境軍隊不會為了史坦尼斯戰(zhàn)斗，因為他是個入侵者。不過他們會為史塔克家族而戰(zhàn)，而幸運的是，有幾位史塔克家族的成員即將現(xiàn)身。首先是史塔克家族的小兒子瑞肯，他從第三季以來一直藏身在北境的安柏家族。我們都知道，飾演瑞肯的阿特·帕金森被人拍到出現(xiàn)在《權(quán)力的游戲》拍攝現(xiàn)場附近，所以北境軍隊可能會團結(jié)在他的周圍。
But, with apologies to Rickon, there’s an even better Stark leader hanging out up north. That’s right, Littlefinger’s dark and calculating ap-prentice: Sansa Stark. If she and Theon are smart they will hightail it north as fast as their hobbled ankles[3] can carry them. Theon won’t be all that welcome, but Sansa is likely headed for a touching reconciliation with her brother. That will be the first time two members of the Stark family have been reunited since they all scattered way back in Season 1. Brace yourselves: tears set to the House Stark theme are coming.不過，要向瑞肯說聲抱歉，還有一位更出色的史塔克家族領(lǐng)袖也在北境逗留。沒錯，她就是小指頭深藏不露、精于算計的徒弟珊莎·史塔克。如果她和席恩足夠聰明的話，他們應(yīng)邁開蹣跚的腳步，盡快向北境逃亡。席恩不見得會受到歡迎，但可能會上演珊莎與弟弟重歸于好的感人場面。這將是史塔克一家在第一季四散分離后，兩位家族成員首次重逢。做好準(zhǔn)備：史塔克家族主題曲一定會讓你感動得落淚。[3] 第五季結(jié)尾，珊莎和席恩一起跳下臨冬城（Winterfell）的城墻逃跑。
Then, of course, there’s Jon Snow. Or should we be prepared to finally call him Jon Stark? Jon Targaryen? Given the Ned Stark-themed flashbacks that are planned for Season 6, we’re likely finally about to have the truth about poor Jon’s parentage. If that truth is what makes him slip on this Stark armor in place of his Night’s Watch blacks, then maybe Rickon has some competition for King in the North.當(dāng)然，還有瓊恩·雪諾。或者，我們應(yīng)該作好準(zhǔn)備，終于可以叫他瓊恩·史塔克了？要不就是瓊恩·坦格利安？考慮到劇組計劃為第六季拍攝以奈德·史塔克為主題的倒序片段，我們終于有望弄清楚可憐的瓊恩的身世真相。如果這個真相是導(dǎo)致他脫去守夜人黑袍、穿上史塔克家族鎧甲的原因，那么想要成為北境之王的瑞肯也許會面臨一些競爭。
However many Starks and dire-wolves it takes, the North seems to be united here in its hatred of the Boltons, and if Jon is involved, it’s possible he’ll even have the Wildlings on his side. Watchers on the Wall reports that this battle will take place in Episode 9 and that members of the production crew are jokingly calling it the “Battle of Six Armies”—one-upping[4] the mas-sive skirmish and cumbersome subtitle that closed out Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy.無論史塔克家族成員和冰原狼有多少能夠重聚，北境似乎會出于對波頓家族的仇恨團結(jié)起來，如果瓊恩參與進來，他甚至可能得到野人的支持。根據(jù)“長城守望”的報告，這場大戰(zhàn)將安排在第9集，被主創(chuàng)人員戲稱為“六軍之戰(zhàn)”——這將勝于彼得·杰克遜執(zhí)導(dǎo)的《霍比特人》三部曲的收官之作，該劇集展現(xiàn)了大規(guī)模遭遇戰(zhàn)場面，字幕冗長。
And while big battles can be in-teresting, it’s the personal investment here that should make Season 6, Epi-sode 9 so compelling for fans of Game of Thrones. The long-suffering separa-tion and near misses of the Starks is almost laughably tragic at this point.大戰(zhàn)役當(dāng)然引人入勝，但個人際遇才是第六季第9集讓《權(quán)力的游戲》劇迷真正倍感震撼之處。史塔克一家飽受離別之苦，多少次彼此擦肩而過，在這團聚的一刻，過往那些經(jīng)歷悲催得幾近荒唐可笑。But with Rickon, Sansa, Jon, and maybe even Bran both potentially in one place for the first time since the pilot and united under the flag of their father (uncle?[5]) ... well, I’d hate to be the Boltons. ■不過，自這部電視劇試播以來，瑞肯、珊莎、瓊恩甚或布蘭可能首次出現(xiàn)在同一個地方，團聚在他們父親（或是舅舅？）的旗幟下……哎呦，我可不想成為波頓家族的人。□[5] 瓊恩·雪諾的身世一直是個謎。有一種推測認(rèn)為他的父親是坦格利安家族雷加王子（Rhaegar Targaryen），母親是艾德·史塔克（Eddard Stark）的妹妹萊安娜·史塔克（Lyanna Stark）。
