" I think life is a jape. Yours, mine, everyone's" .

" 我觉得生活本身就是个大玩笑。你的、我的、所有人的生活都是这样。"

" No" . Was that a jape? With Stannis, it was hard to tell.

" 不用。" 这是玩笑么？由史坦尼斯口中说出来，实在难于分辨。

" Just put it on" . The prince was in no mood for japes.

" 戴好就行。" 王子没心情开玩笑。

" Is that a jape? You know how I feel about Ser Loras" .

" 开什么玩笑？你明知道我如何看待洛拉斯爵士。"

I had hoped you might have more to offer us than japes, Tyrion, Lord Tywin Lannister said.

" 提利昂，我希望你能提供一点有用的建议，不要只要嘴皮子。" 泰温·兰尼斯特公爵说。

" Oh, I have, I have, I shan't deny it ... but I'm amusing, with all my japes and capers. I make men laugh" .

" 哦，是的，是的，我不否认我的罪行… … 但我是最有趣的，我会讲笑话，我会蹦蹦跳跳。我会逗老爷们开心。"

Sansa saw a spasm of rage pass across her husband's face. " I misspoke, " he said. " It was a bad jape, sire" .

她看见丈夫脸上青筋暴突。" 我失言了，" 他最后说，" 这是个差劲的玩笑，陛下。"

" Both of you have a taste for mockery, " his uncle said. " Spare me your japes, ser, I have no taste for them" .

" 他们两个都爱耍小聪明，" 叔叔道，" 够了，省省你的贫嘴吧，爵士，我没兴趣。"

" Did you come here just to complain of your bedchamber and make your lame japes? I have important letters to finish" .

" 你来这儿就为着抱怨卧室和开些蹩脚玩笑？省省吧，我有几封重要信件要写。"

" A jape, Your Grace. From the ships. I was greensick the whole way from Volantis. Heaving and … well, I shouldn't say" .

" 只是个绰号，陛下，船上给起的。从瓦兰提斯来此，我一路吐到尾，天翻地… … 唔，这不好说。"

Asha threw back her head and laughed. " The Drowned God must have shoved a pricklefish up Uncle Aeron's arse. A kingsmoot? Is this some jape, or does he mean it truly" ?

阿莎仰头大笑，" 淹神一定是把刺棘鱼塞进了伊伦叔叔的屁眼里。选王会？他开玩笑还是来真的？"

" Caper as you like, it won't wash out your crimes. Daenerys Targaryen is no silly child to be diverted by japes and tumbles. She will deal with you justly" .

" 随便怎么耍把式，也洗不清你深重的罪孽。丹妮莉丝·坦格利安不是没见过市面的傻孩子，劝你趁早打消翻翻筋斗来蒙混过关的念头。她会公正地审判你。"

" Do they mean to try and blow our walls down" ? japed a Flint when the warhorn sounded once again. " Mayhaps he thinks he's found the Horn of Joramun" .

" 他想把城墙吹倒还是咋地？" 战号再度响起时，一个菲林特家的人打趣道，" 搞不好他挖出了乔曼的号角咧。"

" We were having a jape with Hodor, " confessed Big Walder. " I am sorry if we offended Prince Bran. We only meant to be amusing" . He at least had the grace to look abashed.

" 我们刚才和阿多开玩笑。" 大瓦德承认，" 倘若我们冒犯到布兰王子，我很抱歉。我们只是觉得好玩罢了。" 他起码还知道不好意思。

Sweets sniggered, but Nurse was not amused. " Save your japes for this evening, when you perform for our noble master. If you please him, you will be well rewarded. If not … " He slapped Tyrion across the face.

甜心听了吃吃傻笑，保姆却没被逗乐。" 把你那点笑话留到今晚为高贵的主人表演时再说。若你能逗他开心，自然重重有赏，如若不能… … " 他扇了提利昂一巴掌。

All the smiles had died. " It was the priestess we were laughing at, " said Satin, a lithe and pretty youth who had once been a whore in Oldtown. " We were only having a jape, my lord" .

大家都止住笑。" 我们是在笑话那女祭司，" 纱丁解释。他是个脂粉味重的标致青年，从前在旧镇当男妓，" 只是个小玩笑，大人。"
