7.ARYA
第七章艾莉亞
Arya’s stitches were crooked again.
艾莉亞的縫衣針又歪了。
She frowned down at them with dismay and glanced over to where her sister Sansa sat among the other girls. Sansa’s needlework was exquisite. Everyone said so. “Sansa’s work is as pretty as she is,” Septa Mordane told their lady mother once. “She has such fine, delicate hands.” When Lady Catelyn had asked about Arya, the septa had sniffed. “Arya has the hands of a blacksmith.”
她懊惱地皺起眉頭,看著手里那團(tuán)亂七八糟的東西,然后又偷偷瞄了瞄和其他女孩坐在一起的姐姐珊莎。每個人都說珊莎的針線功夫完美無瑕。"珊莎織出來的東西就跟她人一樣漂亮。"有次茉丹修女對她們的母親大人這么說,"她那雙手既纖細(xì)又靈巧。"當(dāng)凱特琳夫人問起艾莉亞的表現(xiàn)時,修女哼了一聲答道:"艾莉亞的手跟鐵匠的手沒兩樣。"
Arya glanced furtively across the room, worried that Septa Mordane might have read her thoughts, but the septa was paying her no attention today. She was sitting with the Princess Myrcella, all smiles and admiration. It was not often that the septa was privileged to instruct a royal princess in the womanly arts, as she had said when the queen brought Myrcella to join them. Arya thought that Myrcella’s stitches looked a little crooked too, but you would never know it from the way Septa Mordane was cooing.
艾莉亞偷偷環(huán)視房間四周,擔(dān)心茉丹修女會讀出她的思想。但是修女今天可沒把心思放在她身上,她正坐在彌賽菈公主身旁,臉上堆滿笑容,口中連聲贊美。先前當(dāng)王后把彌賽菈帶來加入她們時,修女就說她平生可沒這種福氣,可以指導(dǎo)公主針線女紅。艾莉亞覺得彌賽菈的針線也有點歪七扭八,但是從茉丹修女的甜言蜜語聽起來,旁人絕對想不到。
She studied her own work again, looking for some way to salvage it, then sighed and put down the needle. She looked glumly at her sister. Sansa was chatting away happily as she worked. Beth Cassel, Ser Rodrik’s little girl, was sitting by her feet, listening to every word she said, and Jeyne Poole was leaning over to whisper something in her ear.
她又瞧了瞧自己的活兒,想找出個補(bǔ)救的法子,最后還是嘆了口氣,把針線擱到一邊去了。她沮喪地看看自己的姐姐,珊莎正一邊巧手縫紉,一邊開心地說閑話。羅德利克爵士的女兒小貝絲·凱索坐在她腳邊,認(rèn)真地聆聽她所說的一字一句。這時候,珍妮·普爾剛巧湊在她耳旁不知說了些什么悄悄話。
