The “Game of Thrones” Season 6 finale finally confirmed what Ned Stark has long been warning us about — winter is here — but unfortunately for fans of HBO’s hit drama, that means Season 7 probably won’t be for a while, since our weather patterns aren’t quite as consistent as those in Westeros.

　　《权利的游戏》第六季最后一集中古确认了艾德·史塔克一直警告我们的——冬天来了——不过这对这部HBO热剧的粉丝们来说是个坏消息，因为这意味着第七季要等一段时间了，要知道我们侄儿的天气模式可不像维斯特洛那样始终如一。

　　“Game of Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss recently told the UFC Unfiltered podcast that due to winter’s much-anticipated arrival in the world of the show, production on Season 7 will be delayed in order to capture the chilliness of the change, even in some of the show’s hotter filming locations.

　　《权利的游戏》制作人大卫·贝尼奥夫和D.B.威斯最近在UFC Unfiltered播客上称由于在该剧中冬季来得比预期的早太多，第七季的制作将会延期，这样即使是在较为炎热的拍摄地也能够抓住这季节变化的颤栗。

　　HBO had no comment on a potential airdate for Season 7.

　　HBO未透露《权利的游戏》第七季可能的播出日期。

　　Fans are already coming to terms with the fact that our time in Westeros is limited; as Variety first reported, Benioff and Weiss are considering shorter seasons to end the show’s run, perhaps as little as 13-15 more episodes in total before the series ends, although an exact number has yet to be determined.

　　粉丝们已经接受维斯特洛时间有限的现实;Variety报道称贝尼奥夫和威斯正在考虑以更短的集数结束这部剧，也许只有13到15集，具体数字还未正式确定。
