Yahoo / House Greyjoy

雅虎/ 葛雷喬伊家族

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?
    很多人無法理解為什么Marissa Mayer選擇在職業高峰期離開Google投奔即將滅亡的雅虎。

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.
    就如很多人無法理解，為什么希恩要叛變收養他的斯塔克家族，與落后孤立的鐵群島為伍。希恩的叛變是一個不明智的選擇，最終栽在自己部下的腳下；Marissa雖然聰明得多，但是鑒于雅虎之前CEO的命運，Marissa也有可能面臨相同的命運。

Buzzfeed / Tyrion

Buzzfeed / 小惡魔提瑞昂

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).
    小惡魔一生都被人看低、被嘲笑、被辱罵，然而他最終卻證明自己是最精明的陰謀者。Buzzfeed的總裁Jonah Peretti也仍在走非常規路線吸引眼球，證明搞笑與嚴肅的調查新聞能共存（還能吸引數千萬瀏覽量）。

Twitter / Ravens and crows

推特 / 信鴉

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.
    維斯特洛各國傳遞消息的方式比我們酷多了。我們通過一個用鳥叫聲命名的平臺發送信息，人家用的是真鳥。
