Neither gods nor men will ever compel me to let you turn Casterly Rock into your whorehouse.
Neither gods nor men will ever force me to allow you to turn Casterly Rock into your brothel.
Tywin Lannister (3×01)
This linguistic construction is a real lifesaver if you need to emphasize the negation of several objects.
He mentioned
neither the rain nor the storm. He didn't mention rain or storm.
Don't forget that the rule of the impossibility of double negatives also applies here.
He did not mention either the rain or the storm.
The translation of this sentence is the same: “
he did not mention either rain or storm.”
The Freys and the Lannisters send their regards.
The Freys and Lannisters send their best wishes.
Walder Frey (6x10)
“Send somebody's regards to someone” can also be used to translate the popular Russian expression “send greetings”. Take note
