Whoever Jon’s mother had been, Ned must have loved her fiercely, for nothing Catelyn said would persuade him to send the boy away. It was the one thing she could never forgive him. She had come to love her husband with all her heart, but she had never found it in her to love Jon. She might have overlooked a dozen bastards for Ned’s sake, so long as they were out of sight. Jon was never out of sight, and as he grew, he looked more like Ned than any of the trueborn sons she bore him. Somehow that made it worse. “Jon must go,” she said now.
無論瓊恩的生母是誰,奈德對她鐵定是一往情深,因為不管凱特琳說好說歹,就是沒法說服他把孩子送走。這是她永遠不會原諒他的一件事。她已經(jīng)學著全心全意去愛自己丈夫,但她怎么也無法對瓊恩產(chǎn)生感情。其實只要別在她眼前出現(xiàn),奈德愛在外面生多少私生子她都可以睜一只眼閉一只眼。然而瓊恩卻總是看得見摸得著,怎么看怎么礙眼,更糟的是他越長越像奈德,竟比她生的幾個兒子都還要像父親。"瓊恩非走不可。"她回答。
“He and Robb are close,” Ned said. “I had hoped?”
"他和羅柏感情很好,"奈德說,"我本來希望……"
“He cannot stay here,” Catelyn said, cutting him off. “He is your son, not mine. I will not have him.” It was hard, she knew, but no less the truth. Ned would do the boy no kindness by leaving him here at Winterfell.
"他絕不能留下來。"凱特琳打斷他,"他是你兒子,可不是我的,我不會讓他留在這里。"她知道自己這樣有些過分,但她也是實話實說。奈德倘若真把他留在臨冬城,對那孩子本身也無好處。
The look Ned gave her was anguished. “You know I cannot take him south. There will be no place for him at court. A boy with a bastard’s name? you know what they will say of him. He will be shunned.”
奈德看她的眼神里充滿痛楚。"你也知道我不能帶他南下,朝廷里根本沒他容身之處。一個冠著私生子姓氏的孩子……你應該很清楚旁人會如何閑言閑語。他會被排擠。"
Catelyn armored her heart against the mute appeal in her husband’s eyes. “They say your friend Robert has fathered a dozen bastards himself.”
凱特琳再次武裝起自己,對抗丈夫眼底無聲的訴求:"我聽說你的好朋友勞勃在外面也生了不少私生子。"
“And none of them has ever been seen at court!” Ned blazed. “The Lannister woman has seen to that. How can you be so damnably cruel, Catelyn? He is only a boy. He...”
"但一個也沒在宮廷里出現(xiàn)過!"奈德怒道,"那個蘭尼斯特家的女人很堅持這一點,天殺的,凱特琳,你怎么狠得下心這樣對他?他不過是個孩子罷了,他——"
