“What are you talking about?” Arya asked suddenly.
"你們在說什么呀？"艾莉亞突然問。
Jeyne gave her a startled look, then giggled. Sansa looked abashed. Beth blushed. No one answered.
珍妮露出吃驚的表情，隨即咯咯笑了起來。珊莎一臉羞赧，貝絲也面紅耳赤。沒有人答話。
“Tell me,” Arya said.
"跟我說嘛。"艾莉亞說。
Jeyne glanced over to make certain that Septa Mordane was not listening. Myrcella said something then, and the septa laughed along with the rest of the ladies.
珍妮偷瞟了那邊一眼，確定茉丹修女沒有注意聽。恰好彌賽菈說了點話，修女隨即和其他仕女一同放聲大笑。
“We were talking about the prince,” Sansa said, her voice soft as a kiss.
"我們剛剛在說王子的事。"珊莎說，聲音輕得像一個吻。
Arya knew which prince she meant: Jofftey, of course. The tall, handsome one. Sansa got to sit with him at the feast. Arya had to sit with the little fat one. Naturally.
艾莉亞當然知道姐姐指的哪一個王子，除了那個高大英俊的喬佛里還會是誰？先前晚宴的時候珊莎和他坐在一起，艾莉亞則自然而然地得坐在另外那個小胖子旁邊了。
“Joffrey likes your sister,” Jeyne whispered, proud as if she had something to do with it. She was the daughter of Winterfell’s steward and Sansa’s dearest friend. “He told her she was very beautiful.”
"喬佛里喜歡你姐姐喲。"珍妮悄聲道，語氣中帶著自豪，仿佛這件事是她一手促成似的。她是臨冬城總管的女兒，也是珊莎最要好的朋友。"他跟她說她很漂亮。"
“He’s going to marry her,” little Beth said dreamily, hugging herself. “Then Sansa will be queen of all the realm.”
"有一天他會娶她作新娘子。"小貝絲雙手環膝，用一種如夢似幻的語調說，"然后珊莎就會變成全世界的王后啰。"
Sansa had the grace to blush. She blushed prettily. She did everything prettily, Arya thought with dull resentment. “Beth, you shouldn’t make up stories,” Sansa corrected the younger girl, gently stroking her hair to take the harshness out of her words. She looked at Arya. “What did you think of Prince Joff, sister? He’s very gallant, don’t you think?”
珊莎很有禮貌地臉紅了。她臉紅起來還是很漂亮，她不管做什么都漂漂亮亮，艾莉亞一肚子不滿地想。"貝絲，不要這樣瞎編故事。"珊莎糾正身旁的小女孩，同時輕輕撥弄她的發絲，好讓自己的話聽起來不那么嚴厲。她轉向艾莉亞："好妹妹，你覺得小喬王子怎么樣？他實在是個很勇敢的人，你說是不是？"
“Jon says he looks like a girl,” Arya said.
"瓊恩說他看起來像個女孩子。"艾莉亞回答。
Sansa sighed as she stitched. “Poor Jon,” she said. “He gets jealous because he’s a bastard.”
珊莎嘆了口氣，繼續手中的針線活。"可憐的瓊恩，"她說，"作私生子的難免嫉妒別人。"
背景介紹：
《權力的游戲》是一部中世紀史詩奇幻題材的電視連續劇。該劇以美國作家喬治·R·R·馬丁的奇幻巨作《冰與火之歌》七部曲為基礎改編創作，由大衛·貝尼奧夫和丹尼爾·威斯編劇、HBO電視網推出。喬治·雷蒙德·理查德·馬丁是歐美奇幻小說大師。馬丁的作品主要以人物為關注點，描寫細膩豐富，突破了幻想文學界固有的創作模式，多次引領閱讀潮流。由于馬丁的輝煌成就，他被譽為美國的托爾金和新世紀的海明威。從1989年開始，馬丁淡出文學界，轉而投身演藝界發展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學的創作，處女作便是《權力的游戲》，即為《冰與火之歌》的首部曲。《權力的游戲》甫出便拿下了British Fantasy Society、 世界奇幻獎和星云獎年度最佳幻想作品提名，在非官方的不記名奇幻作品投票中，《冰與火之歌》儼然已經可以和《魔戒》平起平坐，作者網站的訪問量也是和斯蒂芬·金、J.K.羅琳等不相上下，其受歡迎的程度可見一斑。喬治馬丁被時代雜志評選為2011年影響世界的一百人之一。
