A new alliance has been formed in the game of thrones.
《權利的遊戲》出現了新的同盟。
The Kingdom of Nabisco confirmed to PEOPLE that they would be releasing new limited edition Oreos this spring branded after HBO’s hit fantasy series Game of Thrones.
Nabisco公司向公衆確認，他們在今年春天會推出美國HBO大熱的奇幻劇《權力的遊戲》主題的限定奧利奧。
The cookies are rumored to be the traditional chocolate wafers and vanilla cream, but with GoT designs modeled after the show’s White Walkers, House Lannister, House Targaryen, and House Stark, though Oreo could not confirm those details just yet.
據說主題餅乾還是傳統的巧克力薄餅加上香草奶油，但加上了些權遊的設計，參照了該劇的異鬼、蘭尼斯特家族、坦格利安家族和史塔克家族，儘管奧利奧目前還沒有證實這些細節。
News of Game of Thrones Oreos comes as the show is entering its upcoming eighth and final season, which will finally premiere on HBO in April — two years after its last season aired.
《權利的遊戲》宣佈，在距上一季播出兩年後，第八季即最終季即將回歸，四月份將在HBO首播。
As always, the plot of what will happen in Game of Thrones season 8 is being kept under lock and key.
一如既往，《權力的遊戲》第八季的劇情還是保密得死死的。
But one thing fans do know for sure? Author George R.R. Martin, whose A Song of Ice and Fire novels form the basis for the series, won’t be appearing as previously hoped.
但是有一點是粉絲們可以確定的，那就是該劇原著《冰與火之歌》的作者喬治·R·R·馬丁不會像之前預期的一樣在新一季裏露面。
Entertainment Weekly reported on Wednesday that series showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss tried to get Martin to travel to North Ireland, where the show filmed, to do a cameo on the upcoming season, but Martin declined. Instead, he choose to stay in his New Mexico home so he could work on the highly anticipated sixth novel in his series, The Winds of Winter.
《娛樂週刊》週三報道，權遊的主創David Benioff和Dan Weiss想請馬丁來拍攝地北愛爾蘭，在這季裏客串一下，但馬丁拒絕了。他選擇留在新墨西哥州的家裏，這樣他就可以繼續完成這個系列小說備受期待的第六部《凜冬的北風》。
Meanwhile, if Game of Thrones isn’t your thing, Oreos has recently released a slew of new flavors — including Carrot Cake Oreos and their biggest cookie to date, Most Stuf Oreos.
同時，如果你對《權力的遊戲》不感興趣，奧利奧最近推出了一系列新口味——包括胡蘿蔔蛋糕奧利奧和史上最大份的奧利奧餅乾Most Stuf Oreos。
In December, they also added Dark Chocolate Oreos to the list of permanent flavors.
十二月，他們還新加了黑巧克力奧利奧作爲常駐口味。
And, Game of Thrones premieres on HBO April 14.
最後，《權利的遊戲》4月14日在HBO開播。
