“I can be fast,” Arya said.
"我動作很快呢。"艾利亞道。
“You’ll have to work at it every day.” He put the sword in her hands, showed her how to hold it, and stepped back. “How does it feel? Do you like the balance?”
"你以后要天天練習，"他把劍放進她的掌心，指導她握法，然后退開一步。"感覺如何，還順手嗎？"
“I think so,” Arya said.
"我覺得蠻不錯。"艾莉亞回答。
“First lesson,” Jon said. “Stick them with the pointy end.”
"第一課，"瓊恩正色道，"用尖的那端去刺敵人。"
Arya gave him a whap on the arm with the flat of her blade. The blow stung, but Jon found himself grinning like an idiot. “I know which end to use,” Arya said. A doubtful look crossed her face. “Septa Mordane will take it away from me.”
艾莉亞用鈍的一端在他手上砰地敲了一下，雖然很痛，瓊恩卻不由自主地像個傻子般嘻嘻直笑。"我知道該用那一邊刺人啦。"艾莉亞說，隨即臉上蒙了一層疑惑，"茉丹修女一定會把劍拿走的。"
“Not if she doesn’t know you have it,” Jon said.
"假如她不知道你有這把劍，就不會把它拿走了。"
“Who will I practice with?”
"那我跟誰練習呢？"
“You’ll find someone,” Jon promised her. “King’s Landing is a true city, a thousand times the size of Winterfell. Until you find a partner, watch how they fight in the yard. Run, and ride, make yourself strong. And whatever you do?”
"你會找到對手的。"瓊恩向她保證，"君臨是座名副其實的大城，足足有臨冬城的一千倍大。在你還沒找到練習伙伴之前，仔細觀察校場里其他人怎么打斗。多跑步，多騎馬，把身體養壯。還有，無論如何……"
Arya knew what was coming next. They said it together.
艾莉亞知道他接下來要說些，于是兩人異口同聲道：
“don’t tell Sansa!”
"……絕對……不要……告訴……珊莎！"
Jon messed up her hair. “I will miss you, little sister.”
瓊恩揉揉她的頭發："小妹，我會想念你的。"
Suddenly she looked like she was going to cry. “I wish you were coming with us.”
突然間她的樣子像要哭。"我真希望你和我們一起走。"
“Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle. Who knows?” He was feeling better now. He was not going to let himself be sad. “I better go. I’ll spend my first year on the Wall emptying chamber pots if I keep Uncle Ben waiting any longer.”
"殊途不見得不能同歸，誰知道將來怎么樣呢？"他心情漸漸開朗，決定不再沮喪下去。"我該走了。我再這樣讓班揚叔叔等下去，恐怕在長城的第一年就得天天清理大小便了。"
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。
