Willis 威利斯, the stable boy馬童 (aka又稱Hodor), sacrificed himself so Meera Reed could cart Bran Stark 主人公布蘭away into the great white cold. He stood his ground and held the door against the White Walkers異鬼 and their army of others. He was massive and beautiful and lovely and, like a flying unicorn 獨角獸made out of gold, chocolate, and dreams, too special for this world. We will love him always. He was the best man in Westeros. Hodor, as he was affectionately 親切地known, lost his life in two ways. Not only did he die so that our younger, higher-born heroes could live, but he also surrendered his sense of self. In the moment of his death, Bran was simultaneously 同時地in the past and inside Hodor’s brain. Through this strange magic, the young Willis experienced his death decades before it took place. His body was ripped apart by shock and his psyche was forever fixed on one moment, one command, one phrase: “Hodor.” Hodor was noble in a way that few characters in Game of Thrones could ever be; He may have been the only person in Westeros who acted completely out of selflessness. He wasn’t cruel or avaricious 貪得無厭的. He wasn’t bitter 充滿仇恨的or mean. Despite his size, he was easily frightened and he was not prone 不易to acts of violence. It would be simple to write off this purity of heart as a side effect of Hodor’s mental condition, but that isn’t the case. When Bran sees the younger version of Willis, he discovers that he was still a sweetheart before he went full “Hodor.” Hodor was fun. He was good for a giggle 傻笑. He was cool with carrying a tween around like a backpack. He could lift spirits with his smile and seemed completely unconcerned that he was introduced as comic relief (嚴肅戲劇中的)輕松場面，戲劇、電影中的滑稽場. In the end, Hodor’s story is a meditation 沉思 on the tragedies hidden all around us. He is an emblem of how innocents are often the first to be sacrificed in the name of some higher idealistic purpose 某種更崇高的理想主義. He, not Bran, is a true hero. Farewell, Hodor! You made us smile, you’ve made us cheer, and now you’ve made us shed many a tear. You did a good job. You were the best. Thank you, Hodor. 文章出自：http://decider.com/2016/05/23/game-of-thrones-rip-hodor/ 好劇推薦 《權力的游戲》Game of Thrones是一部中世紀史詩奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)劇，該劇以美國作家喬治·R·R·馬丁的奇幻巨作《冰與火之歌》七部曲為基礎改編創(chuàng)作。 故事背景中虛構的世界，分為兩片大陸：位于西面的“日落國度”維斯特洛；位于東面的類似亞歐大陸。維斯特洛大陸邊境處發(fā)現遠古傳說中早已滅絕的生物開始，危險也漸漸在靠近這里。這片大陸的臨冬城主暨北境統領艾德史塔克家族也迎來了老友兼國王勞勃·拜拉席恩的來訪。國王希望艾德·史塔克（肖恩·賓 Sean Bean 飾）能擔任首相一職，對抗企圖奪取鐵王座的叛軍。危情一觸即發(fā)，整個王國看似平和的表面下卻是波濤暗涌。權高位重的拜拉席恩家族、勇敢善良的史塔克家族、企圖謀取王位的坦格利安家族、有著不可告人秘密的蘭尼斯特家族。這些家族各懷鬼胎，這個國家將會陷入一場混戰(zhàn)....（摘自豆瓣） 目前，《權力的游戲》已經更新到第6季，每一季都獲得了超高的評分和口碑，喜歡美劇的你千萬不要錯過。 墊樂 Goodbye Brother by Ramin Djawadi from Game of Thrones OST Finale by Ramin Djawadi from Game of Thrones OST 主播介紹 雲昊：江西南昌人，本科時就讀于東華理工大學，現在德克薩斯大學達拉斯分校攻讀碩士學位。 主播 | 制作：雲昊 ; 發(fā)行: 永清 文字及墊樂歸作者或版權方所有 圖片源于網絡
