《權遊》原著更新太慢,馬丁老爺子決定先寫劇本
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.
喬治·RR·馬丁(George RR Martin)因爲《權力的遊戲》系列享有盛名。最近因爲《凜冬的寒風》 (The Winds of Winter)發售日期開起了粉絲的玩笑。《凜冬的寒風》是《權力的遊戲》系列的第六部原著，發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.
有人開玩笑說，2017年最棒的就是《權力的遊戲》最後一部小說《凜冬的寒風》終於要發售了。馬丁的創作過程對等待的粉絲來說也是出了名的煎熬。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.
《權力的遊戲》電視改編版比小說發展要快，馬丁出乎意料地同意在小說出版前先動筆續寫新的劇集。
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.'
但是週一，他在博客上寫到：“我覺得2018年大家肯定能看到新的《冰與火之歌》，或者能出兩部？總之可以幻想一下。”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.
《太陽報》（The Sun）報道，馬丁曾透露小說絕對能和電視劇媲美：“有些地方不同，但是相同劇集的地方絕對不熟電視劇。”‘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，一些在電視劇中死了的角色在小說中還是活着的，所以小說和電視劇絕不可能相同。
With Game Of Thrones season 7 leaving people on tenterhooks, work will actually begin on the eighth series of the HBO show this October.
《權力的遊戲》第七季已經讓觀衆坐不住了，今年10月，美國有線電視網將播放第八季，好戲即將開始。New details about the final season of Game of Thrones have emerged from one of the long-running fantasy show's stars.
《權力的遊戲》諸多演員透漏了第八季不少細節。Speaking to Collider, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, let slip that the cast will soon be back at work.
詹姆·蘭尼斯特（Jaime Lannister）的扮演者尼可拉·科斯特-瓦爾道（Nikolaj Coster-Waldau）不小心透露給Collider網站，很快各個演員就會開始工作。‘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劇情。十月我們會進組，所以大概接下來幾周能拿到劇本看看後面的劇情，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.
看來美國有線電視網要催馬丁趕緊出《冰與火之歌》結局了，當然，無論如何我們都會讀讀原著的。
