#皇家騎士第三部 #冰封之地 #阿拉倫的不破之城

阿拉倫城堡，鄧肯國王的王城，是一座宏偉的曠世堡壘，高聳林立的尖塔、臨風而立的優雅扶壁，讓整座城池充滿生命與剛毅。當然，這座無堅不摧的城堡外觀精美，外牆是蜂蜜色的大片硬石建材打造成的建築奇觀。

林立高聳的尖塔讓整個王城看起來輕巧優雅，但同時也給守城的駐軍們很多空間可以備弓拉箭、投石潑油，來抵禦可能的外侮。

impregnable (a.) 無堅不摧的
buttress (n.) 城堡的扶壁
lifelike (a.) 栩栩如生的
solidity (n.) 堅固
hardstone (n.) 硬石
gracefulness (n.) 優雅
inhabitant (n.) 居住者
a score of 大量的
assault (v.) 襲擊

Castle Araluen, the seat of King Duncan’s rule, was a building of majestic beauty. The tall, spire-topped towers and soaring buttresses had an almost lifelike grace to them that belied the strength and solidity of the castle. It was beautiful, surely enough, built in huge of blocks of honey-coloured hardstone, but it was almost impregnable as well.

The many high towers gave the castle a sense of light and air and gracefulness. But they also provided the inhabitants with a score of positions from which to pour arrows, rocks and boiling oil on any attackers who might be unwise enough to assault the walls.

#龍騎士最終章 #英文朗讀

我閒著沒事的時候就喜歡看奇幻小說當閒書，高中開始，我陸陸續續地看了很多奇幻小說，從中文，一路看到了英文。

現在如果下課的話，我也會打開英文的RPG遊戲來玩，邊玩邊學。

小說翻譯：
落日的餘暉滲進亞拉岡的帳篷裡，髹上一層冷冷灰灰的餘光，彷彿一切是從花崗岩刻劃出來的。亞拉岡可以用自己的精靈夜視看得很清楚，但他知道葛小姐可能沒辦法，所以為了她，亞拉岡輕念了咒語，一個發亮的光球漂浮在帳篷上，暖白的光芒沒有溫度，但像一個燈籠一樣照耀著。亞拉岡不想念出另一個招喚火的咒語，不然一個不小心，他攜帶的長劍，就會瞬時變成一把火劍。

你可能需要的單字:
seep (v.) 滲透
granite (n.) 花崗岩
discernible (a.) 依稀可辨的

“Naina hvitr un böllr” (精靈語 : 點燃圓光)
“brisingr” (精靈語 : 烈焰)

Faint light from the dying sun seeped into Eragon’s tent. Everything within was gray, as if it were carved from granite. With his elf vision, Eragon could see the shape of objects easily enough, but he know that Gertrude would have trouble, so for her sake he said, ''Naina hvitr un bollr,'' and set a small, glowing werelight floating in the air by the peak of the tent. The soft white orb produced no discernible heat but as much illumination as a bright lantern. He refrained from using the word brisingr in the spell, so as to avoid setting the blade of his sword on fire.

然後，隨著車子開始起飛，兩旁破舊的建築物漸漸離開，地面開始越來越遠，不到幾秒，整個霧靄靄的倫敦就在兩人的下方閃爍。

這是一個截然不同的世界，他們的車輪駛過毛茸茸的雲海，映入眼簾的是天空一望無際的湛藍，烈日在他們的眼前綻放著熾眼的白光。

out of sight 在視線之外
glitter (v.) 閃閃發光
below (prep.) 在...之下
skim (v.)掠過
fluffy (a.) 柔毛的、蓬鬆的

And the ground and the dirty buildings on either side fell away, dropping out of sight as the car rose; in seconds, the whole of London lay, smoky and glittering, below them.

It was a different world. The wheels of the car skimmed the sea of fluffy clouds, the sky a bright, endless blue under the blinding white sun.
