哈佛大學的教授希望以此來吸引學生們的興趣，據美國藝術與科學學院的研究顯示，有關中世紀方面的研究近年來有所減少，從2012年到2014年，與此有關的學士學位的頒發率下降了8.7%。
哈佛也不是第一個更不是唯一一個以《權力的遊戲》為名來開課的學校，事實上，2015年，加州大學伯克利分校就開了好幾門與此有關的課程，比如說跟電影研究有關的「Film Genre: Game of Thrones（電影類型：權力的遊戲）」課程，今年夏天，還會再開一節6周的課程叫做「The Linguistics of Game of Thrones and the Art of Language Invention（《權力的遊戲》語言學及語言創作的藝術）」。
7月份，《權力的遊戲》第七季就要來了，華譯君今天帶大家回顧一下那些令人印象深刻的經典臺詞。
Varys: 「Three great men sit in a room. A king, a priest, and a rich man. Between them stands a common sellsword. Each great man bids the sellsword kill the other two. Who lives? Who dies?」
蜘蛛：「三位貴人坐在一個房間中：一個國王，一個僧侶和一個富翁。三人之間，站著一名普通傭兵，每位貴人都命傭兵殺死另外二人。孰生，孰死？
Tyrion: 「Depends on the sellsword.」
小惡魔：那要視那個傭兵而定。
Varys: 「Does it? He has neither crown, nor gold, nor favor with the gods.」
蜘蛛：是嗎？他既沒有王冠，也無金銀珠寶，更沒有神明的眷顧。
Tyrion: 「He has a sword. The power of life and death.」
小惡魔：但他有利劍，有決定生死的力量。
Varys: 「If it’s swordsmen who rule, why do we pretend kings hold all the power? When Ned Stark lost his head, who was truly responsibly? Joffrey? The executioner? Or something else?」
蜘蛛：既然生死取決於士兵，那我們為什麼又假裝承認國王的權利至高無上呢？奈德·史塔克人頭落地，應該負責的究竟是誰？喬佛裡？劊子手？還是別的什麼東西？
Varys: "Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick, a shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow."
蜘蛛：權力存於人心。信則有，不信則無。惑人的把戲，如浮影遊牆。即便是矮小之人，也能投射出巨大的影子。
Jon:Why do you read so much?
瓊恩：你讀那麼多書幹嘛？
Tyrion:My mind is my weapon. My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer, and I have my mind...And a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.
提利昂：吾思即吾劍。我的兄弟有他的長劍、國王羅伯特有他的戰錘，而我有的是腦子……頭腦要閱讀才能保持清醒，就像劍要磨才鋒利一樣。
Littlefinger:The realm?Do you know what the realm is ?It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies.A story we agree to tell each other over and overtill we forget that it's a lie.But what do we do have left once we abandon the lie?But what do we do have left once we abandon the lie?
小指頭:王國？你知道王國是什麼嗎？它就是伊耿之敵的一千把劍,一個我們反覆講述的故事，直到我們都忘了它不過是個謊言,戳穿了謊言我們還剩什麼呢？
Varys: Chaos.A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.
瓦裡斯：混亂。血口大張的深淵等待吞噬一切。
Littefinger: Chaos isn't a pit.Chaos is a ladder.Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again.The fall breaks them.And some are given a chance to climb,but they refuse.They cling to the realm or gods,or love.illusions.Only the ladder is real.The climb is all there is.
小指頭：混亂不是深淵，混亂是階梯。許多人想往上爬, 但他們失敗了並永無機會再試一次，他們墜落而亡。有人本有機會攀爬，但他們拒絕了。他們守著王國不放，守著諸神,守著愛情。盡皆幻象。只有階梯真實存在，攀爬才是生活的全部。
Know your strengths, use them wisely, and one man can be worth 10000.
認清自己的長處，明智的加以利用，一個人便可抵千軍萬馬。
Hate's as good thing as any to keep a person going.
仇恨是個好東西，讓人渾身是勁。
Imp: Let me give you some advice,bastard.Never forget what you are.The rest of the world will not.Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you.
小惡魔：讓我給你一些忠告，私生子。永遠不要忘記自己是什麼人，因為這個世界不會忘記的，用它來武裝自己，就沒有人可以用它來傷害你了。
Jon: What the hell do you know about being a bastard?
瓊恩：你又知道身為私生子是什麼樣子的嗎？
Imp: All dwarves are bastards in their father's eyes.
小惡魔：全天下的侏儒在他們父親眼裡都跟私生子沒什麼兩樣。
Night watcher swear——
"Night gathers,
and now my watch begins.
It shall not end until my death.
I shall take no wife,
hold no lands,
father no children.
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.
I shall live and die at my post.
I am the sword in the darkness.
I am the watcher on the walls.
I am the fire that burns against the cold,
the light that brings the dawn,
the horn that wakes the sleepers,
the shield that guards the realms of men.
I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch,
for this night and all the nights to come."
「長夜將至，
我從今開始守望，至死方休。
我將不娶妻、不封地、不生子。
我將不戴寶冠，不爭榮寵。
我將盡忠職守，生死於斯。
我是黑暗中的利劍，長城上的守衛。
我是抵禦寒冷的烈焰，破曉時分的光線，喚醒眠者的號角，守護王國的堅盾。
我將生命與榮耀獻給守夜人，今夜如此，夜夜皆然。」
Bran: How can a man be brave if he's afraid?
Ned: That is the only time a man can be brave.
布蘭：一個人如果害怕那還怎麼變得勇敢？
奈得：人在恐懼的時候方能勇敢。
"People die at their dinner tables. They die in their beds. They die squatting over their chamber pots. Everybody dies sooner or later. And don't worry about your death. Worry about your life. Take charge of your life for as long as it lasts."
「人們在飯桌上死去，在床上喪生，在蹲茅廁時沒命。人早晚都有一死。所以，不要想著死亡，想想你活著的時候吧..。在你有生之年要好好掌控你的生活。」
"Laughing at another person's misery was the only thing that made me feel like everyone else."
「嘲笑別人的苦難是唯一一件讓我覺得自己跟別人沒什麼不同的事情。」
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.
你玩權力的遊戲，結局要麼贏、要麼死。沒有其他選擇。
There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.
世界上再也沒有比人更可怕的生物了。
最後，也是特別經典的一段——小惡魔的審判。
I saved you; I saved this city and I all your worthless lives. I should have let Stannis kill you all.
是我救了你們，是我救了整個城市，是我拯救了你們這些卑微的生命。我應該讓史坦尼斯把你們都殺了。
Yes, father. I'm guilty. Guilty, is that what you want to hear?
是的，父親。我有罪。有罪，這就是你想聽的嗎？
No, of that I'm innocent. I am guilty of a far more monstrous crime.
不，關於那一點我是無罪的。我犯下的是比那個恐怖得多的罪孽。
I am guilty of being a dwarf. I've been on trial for that my entire life.
我有罪，因為我是個侏儒，我的一生都為此遭受審判
Have you nothing to say in your defense? nothing but this——I did not do it.
你不為自己做任何辯護嗎？什麼都沒有，只有這一句——不是我幹的。
I did not kill Joffrey but I wish that I had.
我沒有殺喬弗裡，我倒希望是我做的。
I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough posion for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it.
我希望我是你們口中的那個怪物，我希望我有足夠的毒藥能毒死你們所有人。我願意獻出我的生命，看著你們所有人咽下毒藥。
I will not give my life for Joffrey's murder. Let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat.
我不會背負這個罪名而死，我要讓上天決定我的命運。我要求比武審判。
