“I forget nothing,” Jon boasted. The wine was making him bold. He tried to sit very straight, to make himself seem taller. “I want to serve in the Night’s Watch, Uncle.”
"我什么都沒忘，"瓊恩吹噓，酒精讓他膽子也大了起來。他試著坐直身子，好讓自己看起來更高大，"叔叔，我想進(jìn)入守夜人部隊(duì)服役。"
He had thought on it long and hard, lying abed at night while his brothers slept around him. Robb would someday inherit Winterfell, would command great armies as the Warden of the North. Bran and Rickon would be Robb’s bannermen and rule holdfasts in his name. His sisters Arya and Sansa would marry the heirs of other great houses and go south as mistress of castles of their own. But what place could a bastard hope to earn?
對于這個決定，他早已反復(fù)思量，夜里，當(dāng)他的兄弟們在身邊安睡酣眠，他卻輾轉(zhuǎn)難安。羅柏有朝一日會繼承臨冬城，以北境守護(hù)的身份指揮千軍萬馬。布蘭和瑞肯則將成為他的封臣，擁有各自的莊園，為他管理內(nèi)政。妹妹艾莉亞和珊莎會嫁給其他豪族的子嗣，以貴族夫人的身份前往南方屬于她們的領(lǐng)地。惟有他，區(qū)區(qū)一個私生子，能指望些什么呢？
“You don’t know what you’re asking, Jon. The Night’s Watch is a sworn brotherhood. We have no families. None of us will ever father sons. Our wife is duty. Our mistress is honor.”
"瓊恩，你恐怕不知道。守夜人是一個視死如歸的團(tuán)體，我們沒有家庭羈絆，永遠(yuǎn)也不會生兒育女，我們以責(zé)任為妻，以榮譽(yù)為妾。"
“A bastard can have honor too,” Jon said. “I am ready to swear your oath.”
"私生子一樣有榮譽(yù)心，"瓊恩說，"我已經(jīng)做好宣誓加入的準(zhǔn)備了。"
“You are a boy of fourteen,” Benjen said. “Not a man, not yet. Until you have known a woman, you cannot understand what you would be giving up.”
"你只是個十四歲的孩子，"班揚(yáng)答道，"還算不上成人。在你接觸女人之前，恐怕無法想像要付出的代價有多大。"
“I don’t care about that!” Jon said hotly.
"我才不在乎那個！"瓊恩火氣直往上撞。
“You might, if you knew what it meant,” Benjen said. “If you knew what the oath would cost you, you might be less eager to pay the price, son.”
"你若是知道，多半就會在乎了。"班揚(yáng)說，"孩子啊，倘若你知道發(fā)了這誓，會有什么樣的后果，你就不會這么急著要加入了。"
Jon felt anger rise inside him. “I’m not your son!”
瓊恩聽了更覺氣惱："我才不是你的孩子！"
Benjen Stark stood up. “More’s the pity.” He put a hand on Jon’s shoulder. “Come back to me after you’ve fathered a few bastards of your own, and we’ll see how you feel.”
班揚(yáng)·史塔克站起身，"我就可惜你不是我孩子。"他拍拍瓊恩肩膀，"等你在外面生了兩三個私生子，再來找我，到時候看看自己會有什么想法。"
