Jon grinned and reached under the table to ruffle the shaggy white fur. The direwolf looked up at him, nipped gently at his hand, then went back to eating.
瓊恩得意地笑著,探手到桌底摸摸它一身蓬松的白絨毛。小狼抬起頭望他,溫柔地咬了他的手一口,然后又低頭大快朵頤。
“Is this one of the direwolves I’ve heard so much of?” a familiar voice asked close at hand.
"這就是大名鼎鼎的冰原狼嗎?"一個熟悉的聲音在身旁問。
Jon looked up happily as his uncle Ben put a hand on his head and ruffled his hair much as Jon had ruffled the wolf’s. “Yes,” he said. “His name is Ghost.”
瓊恩開心地抬頭,班叔叔把手放在他頭上,撥弄著他的頭發,就好像他剛才撥弄白靈身上的毛一樣。"對,"他回答,"它叫做白靈。"
One of the squires interrupted the bawdy story he’d been telling to make room at the table for their lord’s brother. Benjen Stark straddled the bench with long legs and took the wine cup out of Jon’s hand. “Summerwine,” he said after a taste. “Nothing so sweet. How many cups have you had, Jon?”
一名正說著低級故事的侍從停下來,挪出位置給公爵的弟弟坐。班揚·史塔克跨坐上長凳,從瓊恩手里接過酒杯。"夏日紅,"他嘗了一口后緩緩地說,"沒有東西比得上這酒甜美。瓊恩,你今晚喝了幾杯?"
Jon smiled.
瓊恩笑而不答。
Ben Stark laughed. “As I feared. Ah, well. I believe I was younger than you the first time I got truly and sincerely drunk.” He snagged a roasted onion, dripping brown with gravy, from a nearby trencher and bit into it. It crunched.
班揚·史塔克笑道:"果不出我所料。呵呵,算了。記得我自己第一次喝得酩酊大醉時,年紀比你還小。"他從旁邊木餐盤里揀起一顆滴著棕色肉汁的烤洋蔥,一口咬將下去,發出松脆的喀嚓聲響。
His uncle was sharp-featured and gaunt as a mountain crag, but there was always a hint of laughter in his blue-grey eyes. He dressed in black, as befitted a man of the Night’s Watch. Tonight it was rich black velvet, with high leather boots and a wide belt with a silver buckle. A heavy silver chain was looped round his neck. Benjen watched Ghost with amusement as he ate his onion. “A very quiet wolf,” he observed.
他的叔叔容貌銳利,瘦削有如危巖嶙峋,但他灰藍色的眼睛里永遠帶著笑意。他和所有守夜人一樣一襲黑衣,今晚他身著厚實的天鵝絨長衫,腳穿皮里高統靴,腰系寬邊皮帶和鍍銀扣環,脖間還戴了串沉甸甸的銀項鏈。班揚一邊吃洋蔥,一邊興味盎然地看著白靈。"很安靜的一只狼。"他做出結論。
