之前读了冰与火之歌的小说的时候整理了一些奇幻小说会出现的用词。 这篇整理一下与马有关的。下面会有书中的例句。 中古世纪的马通常是以功用来区分，而不是品种。 courser 和charger都是指战马，destrier的话是战马中常常被用来骑去长矛 比赛用的。palfrey是一般供骑乘的马，妇女也可以骑乘的。garron是拿来做 工的马，体型比较小但是比较稳健。 以性别区分的话，stallion是指公马，没有被阉过 (gelded) 的。母马是mare， 被阉过的公马是gelding。 另外还可以见到的是piebald，杂色的马。 单字表 courser, charger, destrier 战马 palfrey 一般供骑乘的马 garron 工作的小型马 stallion 公马 mare 母马 gelding 阉过的公马 piebald 杂色马 以下是一些冰与火里面用到这些字的句子 : Prince Joffrey's mount was a blood bay courser, swift as the wind, and he rode it with reckless abandon, so fast that Sansa was hard-pressed to keep up on her mare. (A Game of Thrones) The horse. She had seen the stallion, had heard it kicking, but she had not understood. Destriers were trained to kick and bite. In war they were a weapon, like the men who rode them. Like the Hound. (A Feast for Crows) His palfrey was a blood bay, his destrier a magnificent grey stallion. It had been long years since Jaime had named any of his horses; he had seen too many die in battle, and that was harder when you named them. (A Feast for Crows) A great jumble of fallen rock blocked their way partway up, where a section of the cliff face had fallen, but the surefooted little garrons were able to pick their way through. (A Clash of Kings) King Joffrey followed on a tall grey palfrey, a golden crown set upon his golden curls. Sansa Stark rode a chesnut mare at his side, looking neither right nor left, her thick auburn hair flowing to her shoulders beneath a net of moonstones. (A Clash of Kings) Robb came back to her on a different horse, riding a piebald gelding in the place of the grey stallion he had taken down into the valley. (A Game of Thrones) 参考资料 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horses_in_the_Middle_Ages --
