“One day, Bran, you will be Robb’s bannerman, holding a keep of your own for your brother and your king, and justice will fall to you. When that day comes, you must take no pleasure in the task, but neither must you look away. A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is.”
"布蘭,有朝一日你會(huì)成為羅柏的家臣,為你哥哥和國王治理屬於你自己的領(lǐng)地,屆時(shí)你也必須執(zhí)掌律法。當(dāng)那天來臨的時(shí)候,你絕不可以殺戮為樂,亦不可逃避責(zé)任。統(tǒng)治者若是躲在幕後,付錢給劊子手執(zhí)行,很快就會(huì)忘記死亡為何物。"
That was when Jon reappeared on the crest of the hill before them. He waved and shouted down at them. “Father, Bran, come quickly, see what Robb has found!” Then he was gone again.
這時(shí)瓊恩出現(xiàn)在他們面前的坡值,他揮手朝下大喊?父親大人,布蘭,快來看看羅柏找到了什麼!"隨即又消失在丘陵的彼方。
Jory rode up beside them. “Trouble, my lord?”
喬里趕上前來,"大人,出事了麼?"
“Beyond a doubt,” his lord father said. “Come, let us see what mischief my sons have rooted out now.” He sent his horse into a trot. Jory and Bran and the rest came after.
"那還用說,"他的領(lǐng)主父親說道:"來罷,我們?nèi)タ纯次夷钦{(diào)皮的兒子又闖了什麼禍。"他策馬狂奔,喬里和布蘭以及其他人也跟了上去。
They found Robb on the riverbank north of the bridge, with Jon still mounted beside him. The late summer snows had been heavy this moonturn. Robb stood knee-deep in white, his hood pulled back so the sun shone in his hair. He was cradling something in his arm, while the boys talked in hushed, excited voices.
他們在橋北河畔找到羅柏,瓊恩仍在馬上。這個(gè)月來晚夏的積雪沉厚,羅柏站在及膝深雪里,披風(fēng)後敞,陽光在他發(fā)際閃耀。他懷里抱著不知什麼東西,正和瓊恩兩人興奮地竊語交談。
The riders picked their way carefully through the drifts, groping for solid footing on the hidden, uneven ground. Jory Cassel and Theon Greyjoy were the first to reach the boys. Greyjoy was laughing and joking as he rode. Bran heard the breath go out of him. “Gods!” he exclaimed, struggling to keep control of his horse as he reached for his sword.
隊(duì)伍騎著馬小心地穿過河面的諸多漂浮物,尋找隱藏於雪地下崎嶇地面的立足點(diǎn)。喬里·凱索和席恩·葛雷喬伊最先趕到男孩身邊。葛雷喬伊原本還有說有笑,緊接著布蘭卻聽見他倒抽一口氣?諸神保佑!"他驚叫著伸手拔劍,一邊還掙扎著要穩(wěn)住坐騎。
Jory’s sword was already out. “Robb, get away from it!” he called as his horse reared under him.
喬里的配劍已然出鞘,"羅柏,離那東西遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)!"他才叫出聲,坐騎便已前腳高舉跳了起來。
