《权游》原著更新太慢!马丁老爷子决定先写剧本
George RR Martin is known for taking his time over his books. But he has teased fans with a rough date for the release of Winds Of Winter, the sixth book in the series that the Game Of Thrones series is based on.
乔治·RR·马丁(George RR Martin)因为《权力的游戏》系列享有盛名。最近因为《凛冬的寒风》 (The Winds of Winter)发售日期开起了粉丝的玩笑。《凛冬的寒风》是《权力的游戏》系列的第六部原著,发售日期目前尚不清楚。
It has been teased for the best part of 2017 that George's sixth and final epic would be coming this year – and he’s notoriously kept fans waiting while he writes the adventure.
有人开玩笑说,2017年最棒的就是《权力的游戏》最后一部小说《凛冬的寒风》终于要发售了。马丁的创作过程对等待的粉丝来说也是出了名的煎熬。
The television adaptation is now going to finish before the books reach their conclusion, because Martin has unusually agreed to work on totally new episodes of the show before writing them up in print.
《权力的游戏》电视改编版比小说发展要快,马丁出乎意料地同意在小说出版前先动笔续写新的剧集。
But taking to his blog on Monday, he wrote: 'I do think you will have a Westeros book from me in 2018… and who knows, maybe two. A boy can dream.'
但是周一,他在博客上写到:“我觉得2018年大家肯定能看到新的《冰与火之歌》,或者能出两部?总之可以幻想一下。”
According to The Sun, the author said that the show would parallel Game Of Thrones the TV show: ‘Winds will be different in some ways, but will parallel the show in others.
《太阳报》(The Sun)报道,马丁曾透露小说绝对能和电视剧媲美:“有些地方不同,但是相同剧集的地方绝对不熟电视剧。”
‘At this point, there are probably a dozen characters who are dead on the show but alive in the books, so it would be impossible for the two to remain the same.
他的意思是,一些在电视剧中死了的角色在小说中还是活着的,所以小说和电视剧绝不可能相同。
With Game Of Thrones season 7 leaving people on tenterhooks, work will actually begin on the eighth series of the HBO show this October.
《权力的游戏》第七季已经让观众坐不住了,今年10月,美国有线电视网将播放第八季,好戏即将开始。
New details about the final season of Game of Thrones have emerged from one of the long-running fantasy show's stars.
《权力的游戏》诸多演员透漏了第八季不少细节。
Speaking to Collider, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, let slip that the cast will soon be back at work.
詹姆·兰尼斯特(Jaime Lannister)的扮演者尼可拉·科斯特-瓦尔道(Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)不小心透露给Collider网站,很快各个演员就会开始工作。
‘But, I don’t know what's going to happen next season. We go back in October, so maybe in the next few weeks, we'll get the scripts and I'll find out. I'm very curious.'“
但是我不知道下一季的剧情。十月我们会进组,所以大概接下来几周能拿到剧本看看后面的剧情,我也非常好奇。”
It's looking like HBO will beat George to the story's conclusion – but we'll definitely read the book regardless.
看来美国有线电视网要催马丁赶紧出《冰与火之歌》结局了,当然,无论如何我们都会读读原著的。
