JON
瓊恩
There were times, not many, but a few, when Jon Snow was glad he was a bastard. As he filled his wine cup once more from a passing flagon, it struck him that this might be one of them.
在某些場合——雖然不多，卻依舊存在——瓊恩·雪諾會暗自慶幸自己是個私生子。當他拿起傳來的酒壺，把自己剛喝干的杯子斟滿時，他驚覺現在就是這樣的場合。
He settled back in his place on the bench among the younger squires and drank. The sweet, fruity taste of summerwine filled his mouth and brought a smile to his lips.
他返身坐回長凳，和青年侍從們坐在一起，啜飲杯中佳釀。滿口夏日紅酒甜美的水果香氣，牽起他嘴角的一絲微笑。
The Great Hall of Winterfell was hazy with smoke and heavy with the smell of roasted meat and fresh-baked bread. Its grey stone walls were draped with banners. White, gold, crimson: the direwolf of Stark, Baratheon’s crowned stag, the lion of Lannister. A singer was playing the high harp and reciting a ballad, but down at this end of the hall his voice could scarcely be heard above the roar of the fire, the clangor of pewter plates and cups, and the low mutter of a hundred drunken conversations.
臨冬城的大廳里熱氣蒸騰，四溢著烤肉和剛出爐的面包所散發的香味。大廳的灰石墻上掛滿了各家旗幟，白色是史塔克家族的冰原奔狼，金色是拜拉席恩家族的寶冠雄鹿，緋紅則是蘭尼斯特家族的怒吼雄獅。大廳里有位歌手正撥弄豎琴，高唱歌謠，然而在爐火熊熊，蠟碟碰撞和酩酊交談的喧囂覆蓋下，坐在長廳末端的他根本聽不清楚。
It was the fourth hour of the welcoming feast laid for the king. Jon’s brothers and sisters had been seated with the royal children, beneath the raised platform where Lord and Lady Stark hosted the king and queen. In honor of the occasion, his lord father would doubtless permit each child a glass of wine, but no more than that. Down here on the benches, there was no one to stop Jon drinking as much as he had a thirst for.
為國王接風洗塵而舉辦的歡迎晚宴，已經進行了整整四個鐘頭。瓊恩的兄弟姐妹和他隔著整個大廳，他們和王子公主們坐在一起，只比史塔克公爵夫婦和國王王后所處的高臺低一席。每逢這種特殊場合，他的公爵父親總會特許每個孩子喝一杯葡萄酒，但不準再多。反倒是像他這樣與隨從仆役們在一塊兒，沒人會管他喝多少。
