George RR Martin has rebuffed the rumour that he has secretly finished the
final two books in his Song of Ice and Fire series, after a Game of Thrones
actor made the claimlast month.
乔治RR马丁公开怒斥最近盛传他已经完成最后两本小说的流言
Speculation began spreading online after actor Ian McElhinney, who played Ser
Barristan Selmy in the HBO adaptation, made the claim on 29 April at a fan
convention in Russia. “George has already written books six and seven … but
he struck an agreement with David and Dan, the showrunners, that he would not
publish the final two books until the series has completed,” he told the
audience at EPIC Con 2019.
流言起于Ser Barristan的演员Ian McElhinney在4/29的一个俄罗斯粉丝聚会中宣称
乔治已经写完第六本跟第七本小说，但碍于他跟D&D有协议，因此无法公布此讯息
，更无法出版这两本小说。
The fifth novel in Martin’s bestselling series, A Dance with Dragons, was
published in 2011.
乔治RR马丁的第五本小说 与龙共舞在2011年出版
But writing on his website on Monday, Martin said McElhinney’s claim was not
true. “No, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring are not finished. Dream
is not even begun; I am not going to start writing volume seven until I finish
volume six,” wrote the author.
作者在他自己的网站上说Ian McElhinney的讯息是错误的，"寒冬凛风跟春晓的梦想
并没有完成。春晓的梦想根本还没开始动笔，在写完第六本前我是不会写第七本的"
“It seems absurd to me that I need to state this … Why would I sit for years
on completed novels? Why would my publishers – not just here in the US, but
all around the world – ever consent to this? They make millions and millions
of dollars every time a new Ice & Fire book comes out, as do I. Delaying makes
no sense.”
我自己要出来声明这件事情本身就很荒谬了，为啥明明我写完小说还要枯等大半年?
怎么可能全世界的出版社会同意这等荒谬的事情，每次我出一本新书，这些出版社就可以
赚进大把大把的钞票，延期这件事根本不合逻辑。
HBO did not ask him to delay the books, the author added, nor did the show’s
co-creators, David Benioff and DB Weiss. “There is no ‘deal’ to hold back
on
the books. I assure you, HBO and David & Dan would both have been thrilled and
delighted if The Winds of Winter had been delivered and published four or five
years ago,” he wrote. “And NO ONE would have been more delighted than me.”
作者补充，HBO并没有要求他延后出书，D&D也没有跟他有所谓的延后协议，如果寒冬凛风
在四五年前能够完工，最高兴的人莫过于D&D了，但倘若这件事发生，没人会比我更高兴
。
Martin also took the opportunity to double down on his claim that Gandalf
would “kick Dumbledore’s ass”, after making the assertion at the premiere of the
new JRR Tolkien biopic last week.
乔治RR马丁也趁机再次强调他的"甘道夫屌打邓不利多"的论点
此争论起源于上周的JRR托尔金传记电影首映会
“Gandalf COULD kick Dumbledore’s ass. I mean, duh. He’s a Maia, folks. Next
best thing to a demigod,” wrote Martin, diving deep into Silmarillion levels
of Tolkien knowledge with his “maia” reference. According to the Tolkien
Gateway: “The Maiar (singular Maia) were those spirits which descended to
Ardato help the Valar shape the World.”
马丁说"甘道夫可以杀爆邓不利多，我的意思是，拜托，他是迈雅欸，快跟半神差不多了"
根据Tolkien Gateway网站的纪录，迈雅来到阿尔达帮助维拉建造这世界。
Martin wrote: “Gandalf dies and come back. Dumbledore dies and stays dead.
But if it will calm down all the Potterites out there, let me say that Gandalf
could kick Melisandre’s ass, too.”
马丁说"甘道夫死而复生，邓不利多死了就真的死了，但为了让众多哈粉们安慰一点，
我会说甘道夫也会杀爆红袍女的喔"
