Lady brushed against her leg. Sansa scratched her ears the way she liked, and Lady sat beside her on her haunches, watching Arya chase Nymeria.
淑女蹭了蹭她的腳，珊莎用她喜歡的方式幫她搔搔耳朵，淑女便后腳蹲地，在她身邊坐了下來，看著艾莉亞追趕娜梅莉亞。
Why would you want to ride a smelly old horse and get all sore and sweaty when you could recline on feather pillows and eat cakes with the queen?
當你可以舒舒服服靠著羽毛枕頭，和王后一起享受蛋糕時，怎么會想騎著臭馬，弄得四肢酸痛，滿身大汗呢？
I don't like the queen, Arya said casually. Sansa sucked in her breath, shocked that even Arya would say such a thing, but her sister prattled on, heedless.
我不喜歡王后。艾莉亞隨口道。珊莎聽了倒抽一口冷氣，即便是由艾莉亞口中說出來，她仍舊十分震驚。但艾莉亞卻滿不在乎地繼續下去，
She won't even let me bring Nymeria. She thrust the brush under her belt and stalked her wolf. Nymeria watched her approach warily.
她連讓我帶娜梅莉亞都不準。她把梳子往腰帶里一插，偷偷地朝她的小狼走去。娜梅莉亞小心翼翼地看著她逼近。
A royal wheelhouse is no place for a wolf, Sansa said. And Princess Myrcella is afraid of them, you know that.
御用輪宮本來就不是讓狼撒野的地方。珊莎說，而且你也知道彌賽菈公主很怕它們。
Myrcella is a little baby. Arya grabbed Nymeria around her neck, but the moment she pulled out the brush again the direwolf wriggled free and bounded off.
彌賽 是個小娃娃。艾莉亞一把攫住娜梅莉亞的脖子，可她才拔出梳子，冰原狼便使勁一扭逃開了。
Frustrated, Arya threw down the brush. Bad wolf! she shouted.
艾莉亞氣得丟下梳子。你這個大壞蛋！她吼道。
Sansa couldn't help but smile a little. The kennelmaster once told her that an animal takes after its master.
珊莎不禁微笑。以前臨冬城里的馴獸長法蘭曾對她說過，有什么樣的主人就會養出什么樣的動物。
She gave Lady a quick little hug. Lady licked her cheek. Sansa giggled. Arya heard and whirled around, glaring.
她輕輕抱了淑女一下，淑女舔舔她的臉頰，珊莎咯咯直笑。艾莉亞聽見笑聲，轉身怒視道：
I don't care what you say, I'm going out riding. Her long horsey face got the stubborn look that meant she was going to do something willful.
我不管你怎么說，我就是要去騎馬。她那張又長又頑固的馬臉露出一種即將任性而為的表情。
Gods be true, Arya, sometimes you act like such a child, Sansa said. I'll go by myself then. It will be ever so much nicer that way.
老天爺，艾莉亞，有時候你才真像個小孩子。珊莎道，那我就自己去啰。你不去更好，
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。
