Game of Thrones prequel casts young Grindelwald and a young Dumbledore!

《权力的游戏》前传的演员包括年轻时的格林德沃和邓布利多！

HBO's upcoming Game of Thrones prequel just added a boatload of new names to the call sheet.

HBO即将问世的《权游》前传刚刚又公开了一打演员。

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed eight new additions to the cast of the first Game of Thrones prequel, titled The Long Night, including Jamie Campbell Bower (The Crimes of Grindelwald) Toby Regbo (Reign). Toby Regbo also played young Albus Dumbledore.

《权游》的第一部前传名为《长夜》，《好莱坞记者报》现在公布了这部剧的8名新增演员，包括《格林德沃之罪》里的杰米·堪培·鲍尔和《风中的女王》里的托比·雷格布。托比·雷格布同时还演了《格林德沃之罪》里的年轻版邓布利多。

Regbo counts Netflix's The Last Kingdom and recently reprised his role as Young Dumbledore in November's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindewald. He is currently shooting Netflix's Medici, opposite Game of Thrones grad Richard Madden.

雷格布出演过Netflix的《孤国春秋》，并且最近也在《神奇动物在哪里：格林德沃之罪》中重新出演了年轻版邓布利多这一角。他目前正在演Netflix的《美第奇家族》，而与他演对手戏的是《权游》的前演员理查德·麦顿（史塔克家的大哥）。

No word yet on who each of these incoming actors will portray in the series, but we can make a quick assessments right away:

现在还没有任何消息透露这些新演员会演什么角色，不过我们还是能很快做出些推断：

Young Grindelwald's character could easily be an ancient Lannister, because just look at his hair!

年轻版格林德沃的角色很有可能是兰尼斯特家的一位先祖，原因嘛，看看他的头发就知道了！

The series is the first of several potential Game of Thrones prequels and is expected to shed some light — er, darkness — on the fabled time period when the world descended from its "golden Age of Heroes" and brought about those pesky White Walkers that continue to ensnare all of Westeros in the show we all know.

这部剧集是《权游》那一连串可能会拍的前传中的第一部，它会为我们讲述故事里的那个很久以前的传说时代：那个“英雄们的黄金年代”为什么会终结？异鬼为什么会肆虐维斯特洛？这部剧预计会将这些迷雾一一拨开（又或者把坑越挖越深）。

它也能作动词表示“分配角色”：
