《冰与火之歌》（A Song of Ice and Fire）是由美国作家乔治·R·R·马丁所著的严肃奇幻小说系列。该书系列首卷于1996年初由矮脚鸡图书公司在美国出版，全书计划共七卷，截至2014年共完成出版了五卷，被译为三十多种文字。 《冰与火之歌》主要描述了在一片虚构的中世纪世界里所发生的一系列宫廷斗争、疆场厮杀、游历冒险和魔法抗衡的故事。在内容及风格上，《冰与火之歌》是现实生活的一面镜子，人性真实的写照。写作手法上马丁运用了POV（Point-of-View，即“视点人物写作手法”），以轮流交换人物第三人称视点的叙事方式进行描写，从而推动故事的进展。 但在“魔法”色彩上，乔治·R·R·马丁再次遵从了他的偶像约翰·罗纳德·瑞尔·托尔金的做法，绝不轻易地在小说里运用魔法，使其只是一个为小说渲染气氛所需要的元素，绝不用在人本身上。在《冰与火之歌》里主要人物中，几乎没有一个会魔法的，他们和现实生活中的我们一样。也没有一个人在魔法帮助下能起死回生，马丁完全遵从于现实中人的生命规律。因此有人认为与其说《冰与火之歌》是极度“低魔”的奇幻小说，不如说它更像是一部虚构世界的平行历史小说。 2011年，《冰与火之歌》被美国HBO电视网改编成了电视剧《权力的游戏》。
I saved you. I saved this city and I all your worthless lives. I should have let Stannis kill you all.
是我救了你们，是我救了整个城市，是我拯救了你们这些卑微的生命。我应该让史坦尼斯把你们都杀了。
Yes, father. I'm guilty. Guilty, is that what you want to hear?
是的，父亲。我有罪。有罪，这就是你想听的吗？
No, of that I'm innocent. I am guilty of a far more monstrous crime.
不，关于那一点我是无罪的。我犯下的是比那个恐怖得多的罪孽。
I am guilty of being a dwarf. I've been on trial for that my entire life.
我有罪，因为我是个侏儒，我的一生都为此遭受审判
Have you nothing to say in your defense? nothing but this——I did not do it.
你不为自己做任何辩护吗？什么都没有，只有这一句——不是我干的。
I did not kill Joffrey but I wish that I had.
我没有杀乔弗里，我倒希望是我做的。
I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it.
我希望我是你们口中的那个怪物，我希望我有足够的毒药能毒死你们所有人。我愿意献出我的生命，看着你们所有人咽下毒药。
I will not give my life for Joffrey's murder. Let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat.
我不会背负这个罪名而死，我要让上天决定我的命运。我要求比武审判。
这一段比较有感觉
He felt a bone-deep ache in his phantom fingers. I’ve lost a hand, a father, a son, a sister, and a lover, and soon enough I will lose a brother. And yet they keep telling me House Lannister won this war.
从幻影手指上，传来阵阵深及骨髓的痛。我失去了右手，失去了父亲，失去了儿子，失去了姐姐，失去了爱情，不久连弟弟也要失去。可他们居然告诉我，兰尼斯特家族赢得了战争。
