3. Is The Hound coming back?
“獵狗”會回來嗎?

The short answer to this? Yes, probably.
回答是？是的，很有可能。

We already knew that excellent British thesp Ian McShane would be joining the show in April, taking on a significant but undisclosed role. But recent comments from McShane made it clear that the actor will most likely be playing a character named the Elder Brother.
我們已經知道英國優秀演員伊恩·麥克肖恩4月份將加盟演出，扮演一個重要但尚未披露的角色。但是從麥克肖恩最近的評論可以斷定，演員很可能扮演一個叫“哥哥”的角色。

“My character is an ex-warrior who has become a peacenik," McShane told BBC Breakfast. "So I have this group of peaceful…sort of a cult, a peaceful tribe. I bring back a much loved character who everyone thinks is dead."
“我扮演的角色以前是一位戰士，現在已成為反戰分子，”麥克肖恩告訴《BBC早餐》新聞節目說。“于是我擁有了這群和平的……有狂熱信仰的和平的部落。我要飾演的是一個備受喜愛的角色，一個大家都認為已經死去的角色。”

In Martin’s books, the Elder Brother leads an island community of men who have taken a vow of silence. Known as the Quiet Isle, it’s a peaceful place, where washed-up penitents can find some respite from past trauma.
在馬丁的書中，“哥哥”領導著一個發誓保持沉默的島嶼，叫做“安靜島”，這是一個和平的地方，誠心懺悔的人在這里可以暫時逃離過往的創傷，得到喘息的機會。

At one point in Martin’s book A Feast For Crows, Brienne (played on the show by Gwendoline Christie) visits the island and notices a gravedigger, who bears a strong physical resemblance to The Hound/Sandor Clegane.
在馬丁的書《群鴉的盛宴》中，布蕾妮（由格溫多蘭·克里斯蒂扮演）拜訪“安靜島”時，發現一個掘墓人，和“獵狗”（桑鐸·克里岡）長得很是相似。

It’s worth noting, however, that the character is never explicitly named – and the “sighting” deliberately left ambiguous. But McShane’s comments suggest the show may make The Hound’s return a little more definite.
然而，值得注意的是，這個角色從來沒被叫出名字——鏡頭也故意模糊不清。但麥克肖恩的評論顯示，預告片讓人更加肯定了“獵狗”的回歸。
