不好意思，请不要灌水

没人这么读过吧？我来当吃螃蟹的第一人

卷五 序章
读完了，开心的是经过前三卷的洗礼，这篇读的速度很快，好像1个小时就读完了，查的单词不到20个，只有一个是之前没有查过的……我这记性……唉……
但是读序言是最最痛苦的事情，整整10页念完才知道作者在说什么。之前读卷三的时候也是这样，但是至少卷三的序言我一开头就知道是守夜人里面的Chett。
开篇以为是布兰或者囧的狼梦，然而并不是，而且什么Haggon，Lump，Varamyr一会是同一个人，一会又分开，日！好不容易知道说的是Varamyr，结果满脑子又在想，Haggon是谁……
但是读完以后发现，还***没明白，这篇说的啥？最后到底发生了什么，感觉他进入Thistle以后就跟嗑药了一样，整个儿High起来了……是因为他进入了那个女人，然后那个女人咬舌自尽，结果他才死了，死了以后飞起来了？我TMD差点以为这篇说的是三眼乌鸦的诞生
She sucked down a mouthful of the frigid air, and
Varamyr had half a heartbeat to glory in the taste of it and the strength of this young body before her
teeth snapped together and filled his mouth with blood. 这句话看了八遍……
那个女人把舌头吐出来以后怎么他就附身鱼梁木了？
他到底是怎么死的？他最后看到Thistle的时候是以什么形态（最后他好像没有附身在三只狼身上，那他是怎么上去的？）？最后几句话的时候他有没有变成Wight？
扫了一遍中文翻译，我基本没有理解错什么……卷五的翻译是Z大发给我的，那个PDF上好像说是网络翻译，不是CX翻译的……

卷四的序章我读了3个小时……
30分钟搞清楚了出场的四个人物，然后30分钟明白了他们是在喝酒的地方玩射箭，靠！什么酒馆可以玩射箭的？
等LEO出场彻底晕菜，每个人都有绰号。一直以为Acolyte是跟炼金术士有关的，被误导半小时。
As great a maester as once he’d been, now his robes
concealed soiled smallclothes oft as not, and half a year
ago some acolytes found him weeping in
the Library, unable to find his way back to his chambers.
不错，他曾经很伟大，现在却连用长袍遮掩脏污的内衣都做不到，
半年前，几个助理学士发
现他在图书馆哭泣，因为找不到回房的路。
翻译错了

五卷的序章读完了，总结出一个规律：
每一个序章都是非主要人物的POV，每个都死了。

刚才我序言朗读了一边，出声的，整整45分钟……我好慢啊
Upriver, the domes and towers of the Citadel rose on both sides of the river, connected by stone
bridges crowded with halls and houses.
桥上盖房子？
Lazy Leo多大了？怎么会跟这些小毛孩子这么熟？他可是Mace Tyrell的堂兄弟啊……
She was the oldest of the serving wenches at
the Quill and Tankard, forty if she was a day
啥叫she was a day？

My brother Balon made us great
again, which earned the Storm God’s wrath. He
feasts now in the Drowned God’s watery halls,
with mermaids to attend his every want.
I bet mermaids number exactly two-and-seventy......
arah whuackblaaaaaaaaaaa

Aeron feasted on goat for a year, and named the longship Golden Storm, though Balon threatened to
hang him from her mast when he heard what sort of ram his brother proposed to mount upon her prow.
What had Aeron planned to mount upon the prow of his longship as a ram?
A goat or the model of his penis?

Z大，我对于盾牌上面的纹章用词还不是很理解。哪里有比较好的解释？
charge，device这样的词似乎都有别的含义，一般的词典查不到，求指教
@Zionius

Small wonder the ironborn had been conquered, they who once held sway
everywhere the sound of waves was heard.
后半句帮我分析一下呗，怎么看都是They who 引导的一个定语从句，然后，就没有了，这也行？

He had kept his
iron halfhelm, with its crest of sharpened spikes, but now he wore it wrapped in orange silk,
weaving the cloth in and around the spikes. Elsewise the sun beating down on the metal would
have his head pounding before they saw the palace.
一个铁盔上能有几个spike？为啥用复数？

靠，海鸥蛋还切成丁……

突然发现冰火里面好多人都裸睡……
Cerci做噩梦被吓醒的时候，侍卫就直接进她房间了？Kettleblack跟Blount也跟进来了，那时候她还没穿衣服呢……
