Yahoo / House Greyjoy

雅虎/ 葛雷乔伊家族

When Marissa Mayer took over as Yahoo’s CEO, it left many people scratching their heads. Why would a woman at the height of her career as a Google executive leave for such a maybe-doomed train-wreck?
    很多人无法理解为什么Marissa Mayer选择在职业高峰期离开Google投奔即将灭亡的雅虎。

That’s the same way readers of the “Song of Ice and Fire” series felt when Theon Greyjoy betrayed his adopted clan by joining up with the deluded, backwards-thinking jackasses of the Iron Islands. For Theon, the move ended in ridicule, accidental incest, and betrayal at the hands of his own men. Of course Mayer is much more clever than poor Theon Greyjoy. But if Yahoo’s prior history with CEOs is any indication, she could suffer a similar fate.
    就如很多人无法理解，为什么希恩要叛变收养他的斯塔克家族，与落后孤立的铁群岛为伍。希恩的叛变是一个不明智的选择，最终栽在自己部下的脚下；Marissa虽然聪明得多，但是鉴于雅虎之前CEO的命运，Marissa也有可能面临相同的命运。

Buzzfeed / Tyrion

Buzzfeed / 小恶魔提瑞昂

His whole life, people have underestimated him, laughed at him, called him names. And yet the dwarf son of Tywin Lannister has proven himself to be the most cunning of all of Westeros’ schemers. Meanwhile, Buzzfeed’s Jonah Peretti continues to fight conventional wisdom, proving that funny, viral listicles, and investigative journalism can coexist (and rack up millions of pageviews).
    小恶魔一生都被人看低、被嘲笑、被辱骂，然而他最终却证明自己是最精明的阴谋者。Buzzfeed的总裁Jonah Peretti也仍在走非常规路线吸引眼球，证明搞笑与严肃的调查新闻能共存（还能吸引数千万浏览量）。

Twitter / Ravens and crows

推特 / 信鸦

Exhibit A for why Westeros is way cooler than our universe: Here, we send short messages named after the sound birds make. In Westeros, they send actual birds.
    维斯特洛各国传递消息的方式比我们酷多了。我们通过一个用鸟叫声命名的平台发送信息，人家用的是真鸟。
