Jon trembled. “I will never father a bastard,” he said carefully. “Never!” He spat it out like venom.
瓊恩渾身顫抖。"我絕不會(huì)在外面生什么私生子,"他一字一頓地說(shuō),"永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)!"他將最后一句話當(dāng)成毒液般吐出口。
Suddenly he realized that the table had fallen silent, and they were all looking at him. He felt the tears begin to well behind his eyes. He pushed himself to his feet.
這時(shí)他驚覺(jué)全桌的人不知什么時(shí)候都靜了下來(lái),所有人都盯著他。他只覺(jué)淚水充滿眼眶,最后他站了起來(lái)。
“I must be excused,” he said with the last of his dignity. He whirled and bolted before they could see him cry. He must have drunk more wine than he had realized. His feet got tangled under him as he tried to leave, and he lurched sideways into a serving girl and sent a flagon of spiced wine crashing to the floor. Laughter boomed all around him, and Jon felt hot tears on his cheeks. Someone tried to steady him. He wrenched free of their grip and ran, half-blind, for the door. Ghost followed close at his heels, out into the night.
"恕我先告退。"他用最后一絲尊嚴(yán)說(shuō)道,然后趁其他人看到他眼淚掉下之前,旋風(fēng)似地跑開(kāi)。他一定是喝多了,兩只腳仿佛打了結(jié),當(dāng)即與一位女侍撞個(gè)滿懷,使一壺?fù)较懔系钠咸丫茲姙⒃诘兀淖D時(shí)響起哄堂大笑。瓊恩眼中的熱淚滾下面頰,有人想攙他,但他甩開(kāi)善意的手,憑著辨不清地面的眼睛,繼續(xù)朝大門(mén)跑去。白靈緊隨其后,奔進(jìn)低垂的夜幕。
The yard was quiet and empty. A lone sentry stood high on the battlements of the inner wall, his cloak pulled tight around him against the cold. He looked bored and miserable as he huddled there alone, but Jon would have traded places with him in an instant. Otherwise the castle was dark and deserted. Jon had seen an abandoned holdfast once, a drear place where nothing moved but the wind and the stones kept silent about whatever people had lived there. Winterfell reminded him of that tonight.
空蕩的庭院分外寂靜,內(nèi)墻城垛上只有一位拉緊斗篷抵御寒意的守衛(wèi),獨(dú)自蜷縮墻角,雖然看上去百無(wú)聊賴,表情悲苦,但瓊恩卻有一千個(gè)一萬(wàn)個(gè)想和他交換位置的愿望。除此之外,整座孤城四下漆黑,滿是寂寥。瓊恩曾去過(guò)一座被遺棄的莊園,那里杳無(wú)人跡、沉默陰郁,四下一片肅然,惟有巨石在默默傾訴過(guò)往主人的景況。今夜的臨冬城便讓瓊恩聯(lián)想起當(dāng)時(shí)的情景。
