同样的伶牙俐齿

Not everyone is comfortable being alone with their thoughts. Though I never felt alone with a book in my hand. Or with her for company.

参考译文不是每个人都能自在地独处、面对自己的思绪。不过手里有书时，我从不觉得孤单。有她陪伴时也是。

I speak of Tara, my tressym, assistant, my constant companion through all the ills and tribulations my hubris has thrust upon me.

参考译文我说的是塔拉——我的翼猫、助手，也是陪我走过因自身傲慢而招致的一切苦难与磨炼的永恒伙伴。

By Ahghairon's lost nose - no!

参考译文以阿格哈伦失落的鼻子起誓——当然不是！

By Ahghairon's lost nose - no!

参考译文以阿格哈伦失落的鼻子起誓——当然不是！

Tara is not any cat. She's a tressym . And given your confusion, I'm guessing you've never met one. They're brilliant creatures - fine company for any self-respecting wizard.

参考译文塔拉可不是什么猫。她是翼猫。看你这么困惑，我猜你从没见过。那是极聪明的生灵——任何自重的法师都求之不得的好伙伴。

'Smart' does her a disservice. She's a fine wizard in her own right, though somewhat held back by her lack of opposable thumbs.

参考译文只说“聪明”未免太轻看她了。她本身就是一位优秀的法师，只是没有对生拇指，多少限制了发挥。

Very funny. But as we all know, nymphs are sticklers when it comes to their bathing routines. You, my friend, haven't been near a fresh spring in a tenday or more.

参考译文真幽默。不过众所周知，宁芙对沐浴习惯一丝不苟。你呢，我的朋友，至少十天没靠近过清泉了。

Not that I don't appreciate your musk. I actually rather like it...

参考译文倒不是说我不欣赏你身上的气味。事实上，我还挺喜欢……

Well, this seems as good a time as any for me to stop babbling on.

参考译文好吧，现在似乎正适合让我停止胡言乱语。

I assure you, were you to meet Tara you would see the comparison for the flattery it is. But perhaps that's not a point worth labouring further.

参考译文我向你保证，如果你见过塔拉，就会明白这种比较是一种赞美。不过，也许这点不值得再纠缠。

Suffice it to say, I think rather a lot of you. And there aren't many on this plane who I'd give such high praise.

参考译文简单说，我对你的评价相当高。这个位面上，能得到我如此赞誉的人并不多。

She'll love you. So long as you don't rub her belly. She hates it when anyone does that.

参考译文她会喜欢你的。只要别揉她的肚子。她最讨厌别人那么做。

She'll love you. So long as you don't rub her belly. She hates it when anyone does that.

参考译文她会喜欢你的。只要别揉她的肚子。她最讨厌别人那么做。

Sadly not. If I'm being entirely honest, my social circle is rather small. More of a dot. Or a pinhead.

参考译文遗憾的是，没有。若要完全诚实地说，我的社交圈相当小。更像一个点，或者一个针尖。

I've got aquaintances, certainly. Plenty of colleagues. But friends? Those are precious indeed.

参考译文熟人当然有，也有许多同僚。但朋友？那确实弥足珍贵。

I hope, though we've only known each other for a short time, I might be able to count you among that number?

参考译文我希望，尽管我们认识的时间还不长，我也能把你算在其中？

Were I to recite that list, I fear we'd still be here at dusk tomorrow. Many things, I assure you, but a conversation better saved for another time.

参考译文若要逐项背出那份清单，恐怕到明天黄昏我们还站在这里。我向你保证，确实有许多；不过那番话更适合留到以后再谈。

One doesn't become the most powerful archmage in Waterdeep and lover to the goddess of magic herself by having low standards.

参考译文若是标准不高，可成不了深水城最强大的大法师，更不可能成为魔法女神本人的爱侣。

I assure you, when I tell someone they're wonderful - I mean it. And you are wonderful.

参考译文我向你保证，当我说某个人很美好时，我是认真的。而你确实很美好。

Then let me say it more plainly -

参考译文那就让我说得更直白些——

I think you're rather wonderful. And that's not a word I waste on anyone unworthy of it.

参考译文我觉得你相当美好。这个词，我不会浪费在不配的人身上。

Right. Understood. You shall hear no more on the subject from me.

参考译文好。明白了。你不会再从我这里听见这类话题。

Consider this budding romance thoroughly nipped. Though I hope our friendship need not come to such an abrupt end.

参考译文就当这段刚萌芽的恋情已经彻底掐灭。不过我希望，我们的友谊不必也这样戛然而止。

The pleasures I experienced in Mystra's embrace go far beyond the thrill of having one's tummy tickled. I remember once, she took the smallest piece of the Weave and made it into -

参考译文我在密斯特拉怀中体验过的欢愉，远远超过肚皮被挠一挠的刺激。我记得有一次，她取了魔网中最微小的一缕，把它变成——

Wait. Are you saying...

参考译文等等。你是在说……

I see. Then perhaps we see each other in the same light after all. A resplendent one, flush with warmth and anticipation, but one which I must shy away from, for now.

参考译文我明白了。看来，我们看待彼此的目光终究是一样的：灿烂、温暖，又满怀期待。不过眼下，我必须暂且避开这道光。

I assure you, were you to meet Tara you would see the comparison for the flattery it is. But perhaps that's not a point worth labouring further.

参考译文我向你保证，如果你见过塔拉，就会明白这种比较是一种赞美。不过，也许这点不值得再纠缠。

参考译文简单说，我对你的评价相当高。这个位面上，能得到我如此赞誉的人并不多。

Not an animal lover? Nobody's perfect, I suppose.

参考译文不喜欢动物？好吧，人无完人。

Nonetheless, your finer qualities are remarkably plentiful.

参考译文不过，你的优点实在多得惊人。

Suffice it to say, I think rather a lot of you. And there aren't many on this plane who I'd give such high praise.

参考译文简单说，我对你的评价相当高。这个位面上，能得到我如此赞誉的人并不多。

Always bringing such candour to our conversations. Some would think twice about mocking Gale of Waterdeep, but you just go straight for the gut.

参考译文你在我们的谈话里总是如此坦率。有些人嘲弄“深水城的盖尔”前还会三思，你却直奔要害。

I like that about you. It's one of your rarer qualities, though I fear my ego can take no more of it tonight.

参考译文我喜欢你这一点。这算是你比较罕见的优点之一；不过今晚，我的自尊恐怕再也承受不起了。

Please - feel free to enjoy yourself elsewhere. No doubt there are others here who offer more welcome company.

参考译文请便——去别处享受夜晚吧。这里想必还有更讨你喜欢的同伴。

Were I to recite that list, I fear we'd still be here at dusk tomorrow. Many things, I assure you, but a conversation better saved for another time.

Wine is to wit as meat is to... to... oh, I can't bloody remember it. There I go, then, proving your point.

参考译文酒之于机智，犹如肉之于……于……哦，我实在想不起来了。瞧，我这就证明了你的说法。

Perhaps we'd better leave it at that. My ineloquent tongue isn't worthy of your ear at present.

参考译文也许我们最好就说到这里。我此刻笨拙的舌头配不上你的耳朵。

Always bringing such candour to our conversations. Some would think twice about mocking Gale of Waterdeep, but you just go straight for the gut.

参考译文你在我们的谈话里总是如此坦率。有些人嘲弄“深水城的盖尔”前还会三思，你却直奔要害。
