George R.R. Martin has long said that he knows how "Game of Thrones" will end. In fact, he's already told showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss on the off chance that something happens to him and he can't finish writing。
美劇《權力的遊戲》原著作者喬治·R·R·馬丁一直都稱自己已經想好如何結束這一系列。事實上，老馬丁已經把想好的結局告訴執行製片人大衛·貝尼奧夫和D.B. 威斯了，因為搞不好自己年紀大了發生萬一，無法完成作品。
But while fans anxiously await the next "A Song of Ice and Fire" book "The Winds of Winter," they can rest easy knowing Martin has a backup ending for the series in case he writes himself into a corner. As he explains on Empire Magazine's webcast, he's already written himself an easy exit even though there's a lot more he has left to write。
不過，雖然冰火迷們都焦急地等待著《冰與火之歌》系列的下一部書《凜冬的寒風》， 但他們至少可以舒一口氣了，因為即便馬丁的寫作陷入了困境，他也已經有了結束這個系列的預備方案。正如馬丁在《帝國雜誌》的網絡直播中所解釋的那樣，儘管他留著很多內容可以寫，但他還是安排了一個相對簡單的結尾。
"Two BIG books. 1500 manuscript pages each -- that's 3000 pages. I think I have a good shot. And you know, if I really get pressed, I've already established that red comet. I can just have it hit Westeros and wipe out all life," he writes。
“兩大本書，每本有1500頁手稿，也就是說一共有3000頁，我覺得進展還是挺順利的。再說如果我當真覺得壓力太大，我就讓那個已經出現的紅色彗星去和維斯特洛相撞，讓維斯特洛大陸上的一切都死掉。我覺得這個主意不錯。” 馬丁這樣寫道。
Martin also gives an answer to when "Winds of Winter" will be finished -- "When it's done!" -- and whether he knows where "A Song of Ice and Fire" is going. Short answer: he does。
關於《凜冬的寒風》何時完成，馬丁給出的回答是“當它寫好的時候！” 當被問及“是否知道《冰與火之歌》該如何繼續” 時，答案：他知道。
"I hate outlines. I have a broad sense of where the story is going; I know the end, I know the end of the principal characters, and I know the major turning points and events from the books, the climaxes for each book, but I don't necessarily know each twist and turn along the way," he explains. "That's something I discover in the course of writing and that's what makes writing enjoyable. I think if I outlined comprehensively and stuck to the outline the actual writing would be boring"
“我不喜歡概述。對於故事是如何進行的，我有一個宏觀的考慮。我想好了結局，知道主要人物的最終命運，也知道書中重要的轉折點和每本書中的的高潮部分，但我並不需要知道故事推進過程中的所有波折。”馬丁解釋說。“這也讓我在寫作時發現這一過程充滿樂趣。我覺得如果我把故事的框架全部設定好，再讓自己陷進去，這樣的話寫作就很沒勁了。”
Would you be okay if Martin used his backup ending?
如果喬治·馬丁用了預備方案來結束《冰火》，你們覺得怎麼樣？
