“He’s our brother,” Arya said, much too loudly. Her voice cut through the afternoon quiet of the tower room.
"他是我們的哥哥。"艾莉亞回嘴，卻說得大聲了。她的聲音劃破了塔頂房間午后的靜謐。
Septa Mordane raised her eyes. She had a bony face, sharp eyes, and a thin lipless mouth made for frowning. It was frowning now. “What are you talking about, children?”
茉丹修女抬起眼。她有張細瘦的臉，一雙銳利的眼睛，還有一張薄得幾乎看不到唇的嘴，這張臉仿佛生來就是用于皺眉生氣似的。這下她立刻皺起眉頭來了。"孩子們，你們在說些什么呀？"
“Our half brother,” Sansa corrected, soft and precise. She smiled for the septa. “Arya and I were remarking on how pleased we were to have the princess with us today,” she said.
"同父異母的哥哥，"珊莎輕柔而準確地糾正她，同時朝修女露出微笑，"艾莉亞和我剛才正在說：今天能與公主作伴，真是件快樂的事。"
Septa Mordane nodded. “Indeed. A great honor for us all.” Princess Myrcella smiled uncertainly at the compliment. “Arya, why aren’t you at work?” the septa asked. She rose to her feet, starched skirts rustling as she started across the room. “Let me see your stitches.”
茉丹修女點頭："沒錯，對我們所有人來說都是莫大的榮幸。"彌賽菈公主聽到這樣的恭維，有點遲疑地笑了笑。"艾莉亞，你怎么不織東西呢？"她問，隨即起身走來，漿過的裙子在身后沙沙作響。"讓我看看你織出了什么。"
Arya wanted to scream. It was just like Sansa to go and attract the septa’s attention. “Here,” she said, surrendering up her work.
艾莉亞好想扯開嗓子大聲尖叫，都是珊莎把修女給引過來的。"喏。"她邊說邊無奈地交出"成果".
The septa examined the fabric. “Arya, Arya, Arya,” she said. “This will not do. This will not do at all.”
修女仔細檢視著手中的織錦。"艾莉亞、艾莉亞、艾莉亞，"她說："這樣不行??！你這樣完全不行??！"
Everyone was looking at her. It was too much. Sansa was too well bred to smile at her sister’s disgrace, but Jeyne was smirking on her behalf. Even Princess Myrcella looked sorry for her. Arya felt tears filling her eyes. She pushed herself out of her chair and bolted for the door.
每個人都在看她，這真是太過分了。珊莎很有教養，不會因為自己妹妹出丑而展露嘲笑，但珍妮卻在一旁竊笑，連彌賽菈公主也一副憐憫的模樣。艾莉亞只覺得眼里充滿淚水，她倏地從椅子上站起，往門的方向沖了過去。
