Maester Luwin set the lamp in a niche by the door and fiddled with its wick. “There are several appointments that require your immediate attention, my lady. Besides the steward, we need a captain of the guards to fill Jory’s place, a new master of horse...”
魯溫學士把油燈安置在門邊的壁龕里，胡亂捻著燈芯。"夫人，還有好些職務要請您立刻決定。除總管外，我們需要一名新的守衛隊長，以替代喬里的位子，還有新的馬房總管——"
Her eyes snapped around and found him. “A master of horse?” Her voice was a whip.
她的雙眼倏地轉去，緊緊盯住他。"馬房總管？"她的聲音如鞭子破空。
The maester was shaken. “Yes, my lady. Hullen rode south with Lord Eddard, so...”
老學士顯然被嚇了一跳。"是的，夫人，胡倫也和艾德大人一起南下，所以——"
“My son lies here broken and dying, Luwin, and you wish to discuss a new master of horse? Do you think I care what happens in the stables? Do you think it matters to me one whit? I would gladly butcher every horse in Winterfell with my own hands if it would open Bran’s eyes, do you understand that? Do you?”
"魯溫，我兒子支離破碎地躺在這里等死，你卻要跟我討論一個管馬的家伙？你覺得我在乎馬廄里發生了什么事嗎？你覺得那邊發生的事和我沾得上一點邊嗎？如果殺光全城的馬可以讓布蘭睜開眼睛，我會很樂意地親自動手，你聽懂了沒有？聽懂了沒有？"
He bowed his head. “Yes, my lady, but the appointments...”
他低下頭。"夫人，我聽得懂，但是這些職位等不——"
“I’ll make the appointments,” Robb said.
"我來安排。"羅柏道。
Catelyn had not heard him enter, but there he stood in the doorway, looking at her. She had been shouting, she realized with a sudden flush of shame. What was happening to her? She was so tired, and her head hurt all the time.
凱特琳沒聽見羅柏的腳步聲，但抬頭就發現他站在過道里，定定地看著她。她想起自己剛才大呼小叫的舉動，臉倏地一紅，為自己羞恥。我究竟是怎么了？她只覺得好累，頭一整天痛個沒完。
Maester Luwin looked from Catelyn to her son. “I have prepared a list of those we might wish to consider for the vacant offices,” he said, offering Robb a paper plucked from his sleeve.
魯溫師傅看看凱特琳，又看看她兒子。"我已經列好一份合適人選的名單。"他邊說邊從袖子里掏出一張紙交給羅柏。
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。
