直到我看到它。好的英语奇幻/科幻文学作品就像神一样。当我读《冰与火之歌》时,Bran当我的被打开时,我突然意识到这本书实际上打开了我心中的天眼。你不必相信我。你只要读一下下面这本书的介绍。
这是一本书,即使你完全平躺着,你仍然可以读。在这个平躺的时代,也许拯救我们心灵的唯一方法就是找到一种方法来打开我们的眼睛。再次找到你自己,找到一个更好的自己。
有一件事我可以保证:你再也看不到重复的书了,世界每天都是新的,都是你看不到的。
假如你的学习目标是实现听、说、读的全面突破,请一定要坚持读、听、读、跟读的学习方法。
现在,让我们开始吧。
第一部分:引子:
当树林周围的光线越来越暗淡时,我们应该回去了,Gared催促道,那些野蛮人已经死了。
那些死人吓到你了吗?Waymar Royce爵士问道,他的脸上浮出一丝笑意。
Gared但是没有上钩。他已经五十多岁了。他看到了许多成年人来来往往的事情。死人就是死人,他说,我们不能和死人打交道。
他们真的死了吗?Royce轻声问道:我们有证据吗?
“Will看见他们,Gared说,“如果Will他说如果他们死了,这个证据对我来说就足够了。
Will我知道他们迟早会把自己拖进这场争吵中。他只是想越晚被拖进去越好。我妈说死人不会唱歌,他现在插嘴。
我的奶妈也说过同样的话,,Will,”Royce回答, 永远不要相信女人在你喝牛奶时说的任何话。我们甚至可以从死者那里学到一些东西。他的声音很大,回声在夜晚的树林里回荡。
我们必须在前面骑长长的路,Gared强调,八天,也许九天。再说,今天就要黑了。
Waymar Royce爵士不感兴趣地瞥了一眼天空。每天这个时候,天都黑了。你怕黑吗?Gared?”
Will看得出Gared嘴角现在紧绷着,他厚厚的黑色斗篷几乎无法抑制他眼中的愤怒。Gared已经在夜间守护营待了40年,早已从一个孩子成长为一个男人。他不习惯被轻视。不过,这个时候可不是被人轻视那么简单。在他受伤的自尊之下,Will还能感觉到老大哥身上还有别的东西。你能察觉到的是一种近乎恐惧的紧张焦虑。
Will我也感到这种不安。他在长墙上呆了四年。当他第一次被派往长墙外时,他听到的所有故事都浮现在脑海中,他吓得尿裤子。后来,他觉得这很可笑。现在,他是一位有着数百次巡逻经验的老兵。无边无际的黑暗荒野被南方人称为闹鬼森林。现在对他来说并不可怕。
直到今天晚上。今晚有点不对劲。这片黑暗像一把锋利的刀,使他不寒而栗。他们已经骑了九天,先往北走,再往西北走,再往北走。他们离长墙越来越远,沿着一群野蛮人的脚步追逐着他们。每一天都感觉比前一天更糟,而今天是最糟糕的一天。一股冷风从北方吹来,吹得树木沙沙作响,仿佛是一群生物。一整天,Will感觉好像有什么东西在监视他,那是一种冷酷而不爱的东西,而且肯定是一种不喜欢他的东西。看来Gared也有感觉。Will现在什么都不想,只想拼命骑回长墙那安全的地方,但他不能把这种感觉告诉他的官员。
尤其不能告诉像这家伙这样的长官。
Waymar Royce爵士乐是一个古老家庭中最小的儿子,有太多的继承人。他是一个只有十八岁的英俊青年,眼睛是灰色的,身材优雅纤细,像一把刀。骑士骑在他高大的黑色战马背上,比骑在小矮马上更好Will 和Gared要高出一大截。他穿着黑色皮靴、黑色羊毛裤和黑色软鼠皮手套。在他厚厚的黑色羊毛软皮衬衫外面,他穿着一件漂亮、柔软、闪亮的黑色链甲。Waymar在不到半年的时间里,爵士成为了夜间守护营的兄弟,但是没有人会说他没有为自己的生意做好准备。至少从他衣柜里的衣服来看,他是有准备的。
他的斗篷是他锦上添花的服装;那是一件貂皮斗篷,又厚又黑又亮,非常柔软。我打赌那些水貂一定是他自杀的,一定是他干的。Gared有一次喝酒的时候地的兄弟们说:把他们所有的小脑袋都拧断了,多么杰出的战士啊。他的兄弟们笑了。

《A Song of Ice and Fire》
Prologue
“We should start back,” Gared urged as the woods began to grow dark around them. “The wildlings are dead.”
“Do the dead frighten you?” Ser Waymar Royce asked with just the hint of a smile.
“Are they dead?” Royce asked softly. “What proof have we?”
“Will saw them,” Gared said. “If he says they are dead, that’s proof enough for me.”
Will had known they would drag him into the quarrel sooner or later. He wished it had been later rather than sooner. “My mother told me that dead men sing no songs,” he put in.
“My wet nurse said the same thing, Will,” Royce replied. “Never believe anything you hear at a woman’s tit. There are things to be learned even from the dead.” His voice echoed, too loud in the twilit forest.
“We have a long ride before us,” Gared pointed out. “Eight days, maybe nine. And night is falling.”
Ser Waymar Royce glanced at the sky with disinterest. “It does that every day about this time. Are you unmanned by the dark, Gared?”
Will could see the tightness around Gared’s mouth, the barely suppressed anger in his eyes under the thick black hood of his cloak. Gared had spent forty years in the Night’s Watch, man and boy, and he was not accustomed to being made light of. Yet it was more than that. Under the wounded pride, Will could sense something else in the older man. You could taste it; a nervous tension that came perilous close to fear.
Ser Waymar Royce was the youngest son of an ancient house with too many heirs. He was a handsome youth of eighteen, grey-eyed and graceful and slender as a knife. Mounted on his huge black destrier, the knight towered above Will and Gared on their smaller garrons. He wore black leather boots, black woolen pants, black moleskin gloves, and a fine supple coat of gleaming black ringmail over layers of black wool and boiled leather. Ser Waymar had been a Sworn Brother of the Night’s Watch for less than half a year, but no one could say he had not prepared for his vocation. At least insofar as his wardrobe was concerned.
His cloak was his crowning glory; sable, thick and black and soft as sin. “Bet he killed them all himself, he did,” Gared told the barracks over wine, “twisted their little heads off, our mighty warrior.” They had all shared the laugh.
(To be continued).
