The sounds of music and song spilled through the open windows behind him. They were the last things Jon wanted to hear. He wiped away his tears on the sleeve of his shirt, furious that he had let them fall, and turned to go.
笙歌舞樂從身后敞開的窗戶向外流瀉,正是他此刻最不想聽的靡靡之音。他用衣袖抹去淚水,氣惱自己如何把持不住,隨后準備轉身離開。
“Boy,” a voice called out to him. Jon turned.
"小子。"有人叫住他。瓊恩轉頭。
Tyrion Lannister was sitting on the ledge above the door to the Great Hall, looking for all the world like a gargoyle. The dwarf grinned down at him. “Is that animal a wolf?”
提利昂·蘭尼斯特正坐在廳堂前門上面突出的壁架上,睥睨世間萬物,活像只石像鬼。這侏儒朝他笑笑:"你身旁那家伙可是只狼?"
“A direwolf,” Jon said. “His name is Ghost.” He stared up at the little man, his disappointment suddenly forgotten. “What are you doing up there? Why aren’t you at the feast?”
"是冰原狼。"瓊恩說,"叫做白靈。"他抬頭望著侏儒,先前的不滿被好奇取而代之。"你在那兒做什么?怎沒在里面參加晚宴呢?"
“Too hot, too noisy, and I’d drunk too much wine,” the dwarf told him. “I learned long ago that it is considered rude to vomit on your brother. Might I have a closer look at your wolf?”
"里面太熱太吵,我又多喝了點酒。"侏儒告訴他,"很久以前,我就學到了一個教訓:在你的哥哥身上嘔吐是件不太禮貌的事。我可以靠近瞧瞧你那只狼嗎?"
Jon hesitated, then nodded slowly. “Can you climb down, or shall I bring a ladder?”
瓊恩遲疑了一下,然后緩緩點頭:"你能自己下來么?還是要我去弄張梯子?"
“Oh, bleed that,” the little man said. He pushed himself off the ledge into empty air. Jon gasped, then watched with awe as Tyrion Lannister spun around in a tight ball, landed lightly on his hands, then vaulted backward onto his legs.
"去,瞧不起我啊?"小個子說。他兩手往后一用力,整個人翻騰進半空中。瓊恩驚訝得喘不過氣,瞠目結舌地看著提利昂緊縮成一個球,輕巧地以手著地,然后后空翻站起身。
Ghost backed away from him uncertainly.
白靈有些遲疑地向后退了幾步。
The dwarf dusted himself off and laughed. “I believe I’ve frightened your wolf. My apologies.”
侏儒拍拍身上的灰塵,笑道:"我想我一定是嚇著你的小狼了。真不好意思。"
“He’s not scared,” Jon said. He knelt and called out. “Ghost, come here. Come on. That’s it.”
"他才沒被嚇著。"瓊恩邊說邊彎身喚道:"白靈,過來,快過來,乖。"
