原文语境

"If the wrong ears heard what I’m about to tell you, off comes my head. And who would mourn poor Varys then? North or South, they sing no songs for spiders. But there are things you must know. You are the King’s Hand and the king is a fool-your friend, I know, but a fool and doomed unless you save him." "I’ve been in the capital a month. Why have you waited so long to tell me this?" "I didn’t trust you. The queen is not the only one who has been watching you closely. There are few men of honour in the capital. You are one of them." "What sort of doom does the king face?" "The same sort as Jon Arryn. The tears of Lys, they call it. A rare and costly thing, as clear and tasteless as water. It leaves no trace." "Who gave it to him?" "Some dear friend, no doubt."

“如果有不该听到的人听到我正要告诉你的话,我就会人头落地。那时候谁会为可怜的瓦里斯哀悼?无论南方还是北方,没人为蜘蛛歌唱。但有些事情你必须知道。你是国王的首相,而国王是个傻瓜--他是你的朋友,我知道,但他确实是个傻瓜,而且注定毁灭,除非你救他。” “我来首都已经一个月了。你为什么等了这么久才告诉我这些?” “我不信任你。王后并不是唯一一个在密切监视你的人。首都里几乎没有正人君子。你算其中一个。” “国王面临着怎样的厄运?” “和琼恩·艾林一样的厄运。他们称之为里斯之泪。罕见而昂贵,像水一样清澈无味。它不留痕迹。” “是谁给他的?” “毫无疑问是某个密友。”
