You know, darling, I think we are going to have a lot of fun together.
参考译文你知道吗，亲爱的，我想我们以后会一起享受许多乐趣。
玩家
No, but let's see what happens.
参考译文不算认真，不过我们可以看看会发生什么。
阿斯代伦
Not exactly a resounding declaration of love, but... maybe that's for the best.
参考译文这可算不上什么掷地有声的爱情宣言，不过……也许这样反而最好。
阿斯代伦
All right. Let's see what happens.
参考译文好吧。那就看看会发生什么。
盖尔
You remembered where to find me, then?
参考译文你还记得该去哪里找我啊？
盖尔
I know Astarion has a hold on your heart. No doubt he quickens your pulse far more than I. What's a humble archmage in the face of such rakish charms?
参考译文我知道阿斯代伦已经占据了你的心。毫无疑问，比起我，他更能令你心跳加速。面对那般风流倜傥的魅力，一个谦逊的大法师又算得了什么？
盖尔
Sorry. I'm feeling bitter. Though I think I'm entitled to, given I know exactly what you came here to say.
参考译文抱歉，我只是有些苦涩。不过我想自己有理由如此——毕竟我很清楚你是来对我说什么的。
盖尔
We didn't just make love. We bonded, body and soul. I got lost in you.
参考译文我们不只是缠绵过。我们的身体与灵魂都曾紧密相连，而我曾彻底沉醉于你。
盖尔
And now you've left me stranded, without compass nor map.
参考译文如今你却把我独自留在这里，既没有罗盘，也没有地图。
玩家
Wait - Gale. I've changed my mind. I want you .
参考译文等等——盖尔。我改变主意了。我想要你。
盖尔
I'm afraid you can't always have what you want.
参考译文恐怕你不能总是想要什么就得到什么。
盖尔
I think it's best we close off this little chapter of ours, and focus on writing the rest of the book. Though if it's all the same to you, I'll be skipping the romance.
参考译文我想，最好就此结束属于我们的这一小章，转而写完余下的故事。不过若你不介意，我会略过爱情那一部分。
玩家
I was just fooling around with you, in truth. Passing time.
参考译文说实话，我只是和你玩玩，打发时间而已。
盖尔
An icicle through the heart would have been kinder.
参考译文这还不如一根冰锥刺穿心脏来得仁慈。
盖尔
I think it's best we close off this little chapter of ours, and focus on writing the rest of the book. Though if it's all the same to you, I'll be skipping the romance.
参考译文我想，最好就此结束属于我们的这一小章，转而写完余下的故事。不过若你不介意，我会略过爱情那一部分。

盖尔
An icicle through the heart would have been kinder.
参考译文这还不如一根冰锥刺穿心脏来得仁慈。
盖尔
I think it's best we close off this little chapter of ours, and focus on writing the rest of the book. Though if it's all the same to you, I'll be skipping the romance.
参考译文我想，最好就此结束属于我们的这一小章，转而写完余下的故事。不过若你不介意，我会略过爱情那一部分。
玩家
Leave .

盖尔
Ooft, you are a very Cone of Cold!
参考译文嚯，你可真是一道寒冰锥！
盖尔
I am as honoured as I am enamoured. I am not the only one who longs for you... yet you chose me.
参考译文我既感到荣幸，也深深为你倾心。渴望你的人不止我一个……而你选择了我。
盖尔
I thought you might have been won over by Astarion. His gaudy flourishes no doubt have made many swoon...
参考译文我还以为你会被阿斯代伦迷住。他那套浮华张扬的做派，想必曾令不少人神魂颠倒……
盖尔
I must admit I am surprised - not to mention flattered, elated, and a little frightened. Such stiff competition... and yet you chose me.
参考译文我得承认，我很意外——更别说还受宠若惊、欣喜若狂，又有一点惶恐。面对如此强劲的对手……你却选择了我。
玩家
Of course I did. I have an eye for quality.
参考译文我当然会选你。我看人的眼光一向很好。
盖尔
Then I'm glad to have met your standards. And intend to prove your appraisal more than correct.
参考译文那么，我很高兴自己达到了你的标准，也打算证明你的评价远不止正确而已。
玩家
Don't be so modest. You know you're the most brilliant person here.
参考译文别这么谦虚。你知道自己是这里最出色的人。
盖尔
Perhaps, but unbecoming of me to flat out state it. I will make it my mission to prove you made the right choice. A thousand times over.
参考译文也许吧，不过由我直说未免有失体面。我会竭尽所能，一次又一次证明你的选择没有错。
玩家
I have my doubts about you, but let's see where it goes.
参考译文我对你仍有疑虑，不过可以看看这段关系会走向哪里。
盖尔
The best cure for doubt is study and experimentation. And an experiment must be repeated thrice in order to ensure accuracy, of course.
参考译文消除疑虑的最好办法是研究与实验。当然，为确保准确，实验必须重复三次。
盖尔
If you did want to repeat it thrice, I can make myself available...
参考译文如果你确实想重复三次，我可以随时奉陪……
玩家
You're so handsome when you're silent, Gale. Don't spoil the moment.
参考译文盖尔，你安静的时候真英俊。别破坏这一刻。
盖尔
Apologies - I am a babbling brook of romantic verbage. Consider my mouth sealed... until you have use for it, of course.
参考译文抱歉——我一谈起爱情就像溪水般喋喋不休。就当我的嘴已经封上了……当然，除非你另有用处。
盖尔
Your cheeks are flush, there's a twinkle in your eye... but I think I am no longer the cause.
参考译文你双颊泛红，眼里闪着光……但我想，那个原因已经不再是我。
盖尔
It's Astarion, isn't it? I've felt the tension between you. I told myself it was casual, not a matter of the heart... but clearly I was wrong.
参考译文是阿斯代伦，对吧？我早就察觉到你们之间的暧昧。我曾告诉自己，那只是随意玩玩，与真心无关……显然我错了。
盖尔
You two have grown closer than I thought possible. And it looks like I'm the last to know.
参考译文你们的关系比我想象中还要亲近。看来我是最后一个知道的。
盖尔
I... I thought you would show me the respect of telling me first, but no matter. You can tell me now - who is it to be? Me, or him?
参考译文我……我原以为你至少会先告诉我。不过算了。你现在就可以说——你要选谁？我，还是他？
玩家
I want to be with Astarion, I'm sorry.
参考译文我想和阿斯代伦在一起。对不起。
盖尔
I see. Well, I suppose he does have a certain charm about him. If you're into that sort of thing.
参考译文明白了。好吧，我承认他确实有种特别的魅力——如果你喜欢那一类的话。
盖尔
I'll just put my feelings to one side. I think that's best for everyone. It's certainly the best thing for me.
参考译文我会把自己的感情收起来。我想这对大家都好，至少对我而言是最好的。
盖尔
I won't leave - not unless you want me to, or until fate forces my hand. If your friendship is all we have, then I will be happy to have it. Eventually.
参考译文我不会离开——除非你希望我走，或命运逼我如此。如果我们只剩友情，我也会庆幸还能拥有它。总有一天会的。
玩家
I want to be with you and Astarion, equally. Why limit ourselves?
参考译文我想同时和你、阿斯代伦在一起，一视同仁。为什么要限制自己？
盖尔
I'm sorry, but to know I had less than the whole of your heart - I can't do it. Not when I would give all of myself to you.
参考译文对不起，可一想到我得不到你完整的心……我做不到。尤其当我愿意把完整的自己交给你时。
盖尔
Call me greedy, stubborn, old-fashioned... but I cannot change who I am, or how I love.
参考译文你可以说我贪心、固执、守旧……但我无法改变自己，也无法改变我爱人的方式。
盖尔
In any case, know that I harbour no ill-will. I would rather see you happy with another, than not happy at all.
参考译文无论如何，请相信我并无怨恨。我宁愿看见你与别人幸福，也不愿你得不到幸福。
盖尔
Whatever your decision, I will accept it. But you must choose. You cannot have us both.
参考译文无论你如何决定，我都会接受。但你必须选择。你不能同时拥有我们两个。
玩家
I didn't know you felt so strongly, Gale.
参考译文我不知道你的感情这么深，盖尔。
盖尔
Perhaps I should have done more. Been more charming, more flattering, harder to reach... but I was only myself, and sometimes that isn't enough.
参考译文也许我本该做得更多：更迷人、更会奉承、更难以接近……可我只是做了自己，而有时这还不够。
盖尔
Whatever your decision, I will accept it. But you must choose. You cannot have us both.
参考译文无论你如何决定，我都会接受。但你必须选择。你不能同时拥有我们两个。
玩家
Then I choose you. Astarion was a bit of fun, nothing more.

参考译文嚯，你可真是一道寒冰锥！
玩家
Then he needs to manage that for himself. I'm not his keeper.
参考译文那他就得学会自己管好自己。我不是他的监护人。
盖尔
You are right. And your heart should not be the price of his redemption. He must earn that for himself.
参考译文你说得对。你的真心不该成为他获得救赎的代价。那必须由他自己争取。
盖尔
I am beyond lucky to have you. Sometimes even the power of the Weave seems mundane, compared to how you make me feel.
参考译文能拥有你，我何其幸运。与你带给我的感受相比，有时连魔网的力量都显得平淡无奇。
玩家
He will still have my support. But as a friend, nothing more.
参考译文我仍会支持他，但只以朋友的身份，仅此而已。
盖尔
And he will be grateful for it. I'm sure. Your friendship is a blessing for anyone, though I'm glad our bond is becoming something more.
参考译文我相信他会心怀感激。能得到你的友谊是任何人的福气，不过我很庆幸我们的关系正在变得更加深厚。
