Robb grinned and looked up from the bundle in his arms. “She can’t hurt you,” he said. “She’s dead, Jory.”
羅柏懷里抱著一團東西,這時嘻嘻笑著抬起頭,"它傷不了你的,"他說道:"喬里,它已經死啦。"
Bran was afire with curiosity by then. He would have spurred the pony faster, but his father made them dismount beside the bridge and approach on foot. Bran jumped off and ran.
布蘭滿心好奇,焦躁不安,一心只想叫鞍下小馬再跑快點,但父親卻要他在橋邊下馬,徒步過去。他迫不及待地跳下馬,三步并作兩步地跑了過去。
By then Jon, Jory, and Theon Greyjoy had all dismounted as well. “What in the seven hells is it?” Greyjoy was saying.
等他到的時候,瓊恩、喬里和席恩·葛雷喬伊都已經下馬了?這是什麼鬼東西?"葛雷喬伊喃喃說道。
“A wolf,” Robb told him.
"狼。"羅柏告訴他。
“A freak,” Greyjoy said. “Look at the size of it.”
"胡說,"葛雷喬伊反駁:"狼哪有這麼大的?"
Bran’s heart was thumping in his chest as he pushed through a waist-high drift to his brothers’ side.
布蘭的心臟砰砰狂跳,推開一堆及腰的漂浮物,奔至兄長身旁。
Half-buried in bloodstained snow, a huge dark shape slumped in death. Ice had formed in its shaggy grey fur, and the faint smell of corruption clung to it like a woman’s perfume. Bran glimpsed blind eyes crawling with maggots, a wide mouth full of yellowed teeth. But it was the size of it that made him gasp. It was bigger than his pony, twice the size of the largest hound in his father’s kennel.
一個巨大的暗黝身形半掩在血漬斑駁的雪堆埋,綿軟而無生息。蓬松的灰色絨毛已經結冰,腐朽的氣味緊附其間,就像是女人身上的香水那樣,布蘭隱約瞥見它無神的眼窩里爬滿蛆蟲,咧嘴內滿是黃牙。但真正嚇到他的是這只狼的大小,它比他的小馬還大,比他父親最大的獵犬還要大上兩倍。
“It’s no freak,” Jon said calmly. “That’s a direwolf. They grow larger than the other kind.”
"我沒騙你,"瓊恩正色道:"這確實是冰原狼沒錯,因為他們比其他狠都還要來得大?
Theon Greyjoy said, “There’s not been a direwolf sighted south of the Wall in two hundred years.”
席恩·葛雷喬伊說:"可是兩百年來,絕境長城以南沒人見過半條冰原狼。"
“I see one now,” Jon replied.
"現在不就見到一只了嗎?"瓊恩回答。
Bran tore his eyes away from the monster. That was when he noticed the bundle in Robb’s arms. He gave a cry of delight and moved closer.
布蘭努力將視線扯離面前的怪物,這才注意到羅柏懷里抱著的東西。他高興得叫了一聲,隨即靠過去。
