Jofftey reflected a moment. We could go riding.
喬佛里想了想。我們可以去騎馬。
Oh, I love riding, Sansa said.
噢，我最喜歡騎馬了。珊莎道。
Joffrey glanced back at Lady, who was following at their heels.
喬佛里回頭看看跟在他們身后的淑女。
Your wolf is liable to frighten the horses, and my dog seems to frighten you.
你的狼會嚇著馬，而我的狗好像也嚇著了你，
Let us leave them both behind and set off on our own, what do you say?
不如我們把他們都留在這兒，自己出去玩，你看怎么樣？
Sansa hesitated. If you like, she said uncertainly. I suppose I could tie Lady up.
珊莎遲疑了一會兒。您覺得好就好，她猶豫道，我想我得先把淑女拴起來。
She did not quite understand, though. I didn't know you had a dog?
可她還有些地方沒聽懂。其實我不知道您養了狗…
Joffrey laughed. He's my mother's dog, in truth. She has set him to guard me, and so he does.
喬佛里笑道：他是我媽的狗，她叫他負責保護我，他就這么跟著我了。
You mean the Hound, she said. She wanted to hit herself for being so slow.
原來您指的是'獵狗'.她邊說邊懊惱自己反應遲鈍，
Her prince would never love her if she seemed stupid. Is it safe to leave him behind?
假如她是個笨蛋，那么王子是決計不會愛她的。這樣做好嗎？
Prince Joffrey looked annoyed that she would even ask. Have no fear, lady.
喬佛里王子聽了似乎有點不高興。小姐，用不著害怕，
I am almost a man grown, and I don't fight with wood like your brothers.
我都快成年了，我可不像你哥哥只會用木頭劍，
All I need is this. He drew his sword and showed it to her;
我有這個。他抽出佩劍給珊莎看。
a longsword adroitly shrunken to suit a boy of twelve, gleaming blue steel, castle-forged and double-edged, with a leather grip and a lion's-head pommel in gold.
那是把經過巧妙微縮，恰好適合十二歲男孩需要的長劍，劍身是用精鋼打造，泛著藍光，兩面開刃，劍柄裹著皮革，尾端則是一個黃金做的獅頭。
Sansa exclaimed over it admiringly, and Joffrey looked pleased. I call it Lion's Tooth, he said.
珊莎看得連聲贊嘆，喬佛里相當滿意。我叫它獅牙。
And so they left her direwolf and his bodyguard behind them, while they ranged east along the north bank of the Trident with no company save Lion's Tooth.
于是他們把冰原狼和保鏢拋在腦后，沿著三叉戟河北岸往西行去，除了'獅牙'以外，沒有別的同伴。
It was a glorious day, a magical day. The air was warm and heavy with the scent of flowers, and the woods here had a gentle beauty that Sansa had never seen in the north.
這是個神奇而燦爛的日子，溫暖的空氣里彌漫花香，這兒的樹林有種珊莎在北方的林子從未見到的柔和之美。
