Will heard the breath go out of Ser Waymar Royce in a long hiss. “Come no farther,” the lordling warned. His voice cracked like a boy’s. He threw the long sable cloak back over his shoulders, to free his arms for battle, and took his sword in both hands. The wind had stopped. It was very cold.
威爾只聽威瑪·羅伊斯爵士倒抽一口冷氣。“不要過來！”貴族少爺警告對方，聲音卻小得像個孩童。他將那件長長的貂皮大衣翻到背后，空出活動空間，雙手持劍。風已停，寒徹骨。
The Other slid forward on silent feet. In its hand was a longsword like none that Will had ever seen. No human metal had gone into the forging of that blade. It was alive with moonlight, translucent, a shard of crystal so thin that it seemed almost to vanish when seen edge-on. There was a faint blue shimmer to the thing, a ghost-light that played around its edges, and somehow Will knew it was sharper than any razor.
異鬼安靜地向前滑行，手中握著長劍，威爾從沒見過類似的武器。那是把半透明的劍，材質完全不是人類所使用的金屬，更像是一片極薄的水晶碎片，倘若平放刃面，幾乎無從發現。它與月光相互輝映，劍身周圍有股淡淡而詭異的藍光。不知怎地，威爾明白這柄劍比任何剃刀都要鋒利。
Ser Waymar met him bravely. “Dance with me then.” He lifted his sword high over his head, defiant. His hands trembled from the weight of it, or perhaps from the cold. Yet in that moment, Will thought, he was a boy no longer, but a man of the Night’s Watch.
威瑪爵士勇敢地迎上前去。“既然如此，我們就來較量較量罷。”他舉劍過頭，語帶挑釁。雖然他的手不知因為重量或是酷寒而顫抖，威爾卻覺得在那一刻，他已經不再是個軟弱怯懦的少年，而成了真正的守夜人男子漢。
The Other halted. Will saw its eyes; blue, deeper and bluer than any human eyes, a blue that burned like ice. They fixed on the longsword trembling on high, watched the moonlight running cold along the metal. For a heartbeat he dared to hope.
異鬼停住腳步。威爾看到了它的眼睛，那是一種比任何人眼都要湛藍深邃的顏色，如玄冰一般冷冷燃燒。它把視線停留在對方高舉的顫抖著的劍上，凝視著冷冷月光在金屬劍緣流動。那一剎那，威爾覺得事情還有轉機。
