Author George R.R. Martin will release?Game of Thrones?prequel?Fire & Blood?later this year.
今年，《權(quán)力的游戲》作者喬治·馬丁將推出小說前傳《Fire & Blood》。

It?will serve as a prequel to the?A Song of Ice and Fire?book series that is the narrative for HBO's?Game of Thrones.?
這部《Fire & Blood》是《冰與火之歌》系列的前傳，美國HBO電視網(wǎng)將《冰與火之歌》改編為電視劇《權(quán)力的游戲》。

But?Fire & Blood?and its forthcoming companion won't be novels.
但是《Fire & Blood》及其相關(guān)作品不會(huì)以小說的形式呈現(xiàn)。

According to Martin's publisher Ballantine?Bantam Dell,?Fire & Blood?will be?"the definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil war that nearly ended their dynasty forever."
馬丁的出版商班樂廷·班特曼·戴爾說，《Fire & Blood》會(huì)是“坦格利安家族在維斯特洛最完整的歷史記錄，記載了七個(gè)王國在坦格利安統(tǒng)治下通過龍之舞得到統(tǒng)一，內(nèi)戰(zhàn)最終永久摧毀了七個(gè)王國?！?/div>

Martin discussed the new prequel?on his blog?saying it's a "hefty book" with a 1,000-page manuscript.
馬丁在博客上說新前傳的手稿有一千頁，是本“巨大的書”。

Unfortunately fans of Martin's long-awaited book?The Winds of Winter?won't be getting it this year.
而粉絲們期待已久的《The Winds of Winter?》今年不會(huì)面世。

In a statement, Martin said: "No, winter is not coming... not in 2018, at least," he wrote. "You're going to have to keep waiting for THE WINDS OF WINTER. ... I do want to stress...indeed, I want to shout... that FIRE & BLOOD is not a novel. This is not a traditional narrative and was never intended to be…let's call this one 'imaginary history' instead. The essential point being the 'history' part. I love reading popular histories myself, and that's what I was aiming for here… As for me, I'm returning once again to THE WINDS OF WINTER."
馬丁在某聲明中說：“2018年《The Winds of Winter?》沒法上，至少18年沒希望。大家可能還要繼續(xù)等。想強(qiáng)調(diào)一下《Fire & Blood》不是一本小說，也不是一般的記敘文，更不是大家以前以為的‘想象中的歷史’。重點(diǎn)在‘歷史’，我喜歡讀野史，這也是我在這個(gè)作品中要表達(dá)的?，F(xiàn)在也會(huì)再執(zhí)筆《The Winds of Winter?》?！?/div>

The?Game of Thrones?author?has not yet finished the novel which will follow 2011's?A Dance With Dragons?in the series.
《The Winds of Winter?》是2011年出版的《冰與火之歌5》的后續(xù)，馬丁目前尚未完成小說。

Fire & Blood is due November 20 via?Ballantine?Bantam Dell.
據(jù)其出版商說，《Fire & Blood》將在11月20日面世。

The new and final season of?Game of Thrones?will air on HBO in 2019.?
《權(quán)力的游戲》最新季也是終季將于2019年在HBO播映。
