蘭尼斯特家族House Lannister是《權力的遊戲》中的一個顯赫家族，是西境最重要的家族，其手下封臣眾多軍隊龐大，同時也是維斯特洛最富有且最有權勢的家族，族語:聽我怒吼（Hear me roar），更有「蘭尼斯特有債必償（Lannisters Always pay their debts.）」這句民間盛傳的諺語。

On the far western coast of the continent, high atop a rocky promontory overlooking the Sunset Sea, sits Casterly Rock, ancestral seat of House Lannister. Below it lies Lannisport, one of the great cities of Westeros; a center of trade, culture and the great Lannister fleet.
蘭尼斯特家族的家堡-凱巖城，坐落在大陸的遠西海岸，高聳的巖石峭壁之上，俯瞰日落之海。在家堡下方，坐落著蘭尼斯特港，是貿易，文化和偉大的蘭尼斯艦隊的中心。
There are a number of gold and silver mines in the Westerlands, making it the richest region in all of Westeros. One of our most productive gold mines lies beneath Casterly Rock itself, making House Lannister the wealthiest of all the noble houses.
在西境，有眾多金銀礦，使這裡成為維斯特洛最富有的地區。其中一座最豐產的金礦就在凱巖城之下，這也使蘭尼斯特成為所有貴族中最富有的家族。
This allows House Lannister to fund many endeavors of other noble houses. Even the King himself has sought credit from Casterly Rock from time to time.
這也能讓蘭尼斯特家族能夠資助其他家族，甚至國王有時也會向凱巖城借錢。
We Lannisters claim our descent from the Andal invaders and, through the female bloodline, Lann the Clever. According to the legend, Lann, using only his wits, won Casterly Rock from the noble house of Casterly, during the Age of Heroes.
我們蘭尼斯特人認為，我們的父系血統來自安達爾冒險者，母系祖先來自「機靈的」蘭恩。據傳說，在「英雄紀元」時期，蘭恩，憑著他的智慧，從凱斯德利家族手裡贏得了凱巖城。
The Lannisters reigned as Kings of the Rock for thousands of years; and worked to make it the envy of the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.
蘭尼斯特人在凱巖王國稱王已有幾千年，讓七大王國羨慕不已。
Our time as Kings ended, however, when Aegon Targaryen, otherwise known as "Aegon the Conqueror", arrived in Westeros with his army.
隨著伊耿· 坦格利安，即「徵服者伊耿」帶著軍隊入侵維斯特洛，我們稱王的時代結束。
The last King of the Rock, King Loren Lannister, joined forces with Mern Gardener, the King of the Reach. Together, with sixty thousand men, they met the Targaryen host in open battle.
最後一位凱巖王羅倫·蘭尼斯特，和河灣王國的國王孟恩·園丁九世一起率軍抵抗，在和坦格利安家族的戰役中，一共犧牲了六萬多名士兵。
History tells us that Aegon unleashed all three of his dragons, slaughtering four thousand men, at what came to be known as "the Field of Fire". King Mern himself was burned alive that day, and House Gardener turned to ash with him.
歷史記載，在「怒火燎原」戰役中，伊耿放出了三條龍，屠殺了4000多名士兵。那天，國王孟恩被活活燒死，園丁家族也和他一起化為灰燼。
Seeing both the threat and opportunity the Targaryens represented, Loren wisely surrendered; and aided Aegon in his further conquest of Westeros. The Lannisters were thus appointed Lords Paramount of the Westerlands and Wardens of the West, titles we hold to this day.
看到坦格利安人既是威脅又是機遇以後，羅倫明智地投降了，並協助伊耿進一步地徵服維斯特洛大陸。因此，蘭尼斯特家族被授命為西境的最高統治者，並作為西境守護世代鎮守，這個稱號一直延續到今。
Let us be clear: it is neither luck nor royal favor that makes our House prosperous. There have been times in our history when some have thought us weak, lazy or opulent. My father, Tytos Lannister, nearly bankrupted our House with his poor investments, and allowed himself to be mocked openly at court.
讓我們明確一點：讓我們家族繁榮的絕不是運氣或是榮寵。歷史上，曾有一段時期，有人認為我們軟弱，懶惰，奢靡。我的父親泰陀斯·蘭尼斯特經營無方，幾乎讓我們家族破敗。人們也在朝堂之上公然地譏諷他。
When our vassal, the Reynes of Castamere, dared to rise against the Lannisters, they learned how dangerous it can be to taunt a lion. I, Tywin Lannister, personally led the assault on Castamere to put down this rebellion. I made an example of them, to anyone who doubts our might. They even made a quaint song about the fate of the Reynes of Castamere... but sadly there are no Reynes left to hear it.
當我們的封臣，卡斯特梅城的領主，竟敢反抗蘭尼斯特家族的時候，他們也領教了逗弄獅子是一件多麼危險的事。我，泰溫·蘭尼斯特，親率將士鎮壓了卡斯特梅的叛亂。我給那些挑戰我們權威的人樹立了一個例子。人們甚至為卡斯特梅領主的命運寫了一首有趣的歌謠…但可惜的是沒有卡斯特梅人再能聽到。
Today the golden Lion of Lannister is rightly admired and feared throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Our words are "Hear me Roar"; but there are of other words that should be remembered when crossing a "Lion" of Casterly Rock: "A Lannister always pays his debts".
今天，蘭尼斯特的金獅仍讓為七大王國上下所敬仰和生畏。我們的族語是「聽我怒吼」，不過在和凱巖城的「獅子」打交道時候，也需要記住這句話：「蘭尼斯特有債必償」。
