“How much can a crown be worth, when a crow can dine upon a king?”
― George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows
『當烏鴉能夠吃上國王時，王冠還剩多少價值？』
--喬治 R.R. 馬丁，冰與火之歌 第四卷 群鴉盛宴
------
dine upon （something）
解釋：to eat something as a meal （以某物為食）
例句：We dined on salmon and strawberries.
我們吃了三文魚和草莓。
-----
釋義：
It means that power and success mean nothing in this world when you consider that we are all in the same situation when we die.
這句話的意思是說：當考慮到我們都一樣的死去時，這世上的權力與成功毫無意義。
The king may wear a crown in life, but in death a crow can eat his dead body (the image is of the body of a defeated king a battlefield and a crow might come to feed on it).
某個國王可能在生前戴著王冠，但當他死了，一隻烏鴉也能吃它的屍體（想象戰場上一具被打敗的國王的屍體，一隻烏鴉可能會飛過來吃他。）
