I have to be with him, if?if?” She took her son’s limp hand, sliding his fingers through her own. He was so frail and thin, with no strength left in his hand, but she could still feel the warmth of life through his skin.
我得守著他，以免……以免……"她握起愛子了無生氣的手掌，把他的手指滑過自己的指間。他實在好脆弱好消瘦，手里半點力氣也沒有，好在透過他的皮膚，仍舊能感覺生命的溫暖。
Robb’s voice softened. “He’s not going to die, Mother. Maester Luwin says the time of greatest danger has passed.”
羅柏的語氣和緩下來："母親，他不會死的，魯溫師傅說危險期已經過了。"
“And what if Maester Luwin is wrong? What if Bran needs me and I’m not here?”
"那要是魯溫師傅錯了呢？要是布蘭需要我時我卻不在呢？"
“Rickon needs you,” Robb said sharply. “He’s only three, he doesn’t understand what’s happening. He thinks everyone has deserted him, so he follows me around all day, clutching my leg and crying. I don’t know what to do with him.” He paused a moment, chewing on his lower lip the way he’d done when he was little. “Mother, I need you too. I’m trying but I can’t?I can’t do it all by myself.” His voice broke with sudden emotion, and Catelyn remembered that he was only fourteen. She wanted to get up and go to him, but Bran was still holding her hand and she could not move.
"需要你的人是瑞肯，"羅柏語鋒轉厲，"他才三歲，還根本搞不清事態。他只以為大家都不要他了，所以成天跟著我，抱著我大腿又哭又鬧，我真不知該怎么辦才好！"說到這里他突然停了下來，像他小時候習慣的那樣咬咬下嘴唇。"媽，我也需要你啊。我很努力在嘗試，可我……我一個人做不來啊！"隨著這突如其來的情緒激動，他的聲音陡地沙啞，凱特琳這才想起他不過十四歲。她好想站起來去抱抱他，但布蘭仍舊握著她的手，她沒法動彈。
Outside the tower, a wolf began to howl. Catelyn trembled, just for a second.
高塔之外傳來一聲狼嚎，凱特琳不禁渾身顫抖。
“Bran’s.” Robb opened the window and let the night air into the stuffy tower room. The howling grew louder. It was a cold and lonely sound, full of melancholy and despair.
"是布蘭的狼。"羅柏打開窗，讓晚風灌進窒悶的高塔斗室。狼嚎聲越來越大，那是一種冷徹心肺的孤絕之音，充滿憂郁和絕望。
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。
