A face swam up at him out of the grey mist, shining with light, golden. The things I do for love, it said.

Bran screamed.

The crow took to the air, cawing. Not that, it shrieked at him. Forget that, you do not need it now, put it aside, put it away.
烏鴉騰空飛起，嘎嘎大叫。不是那個，它對他嘶聲叫道，忘記那個，你現(xiàn)在需要的不是它，忘記那件事，拋開那個念頭。
It landed on Bran's shoulder, and pecked at him, and the shining golden face was gone.
它停在布蘭肩頭，啄他，那張亮澄澄的金黃臉孔便隨即消失。
Bran was falling faster than ever. The grey mists howled around him as he plunged toward the earth below.
這時，布蘭越掉越快，朝地面急速撲去，灰霧在他耳際怒吼。
What are you doing to me? he asked the crow, tearful.
你對我做了什么？他噙著眼淚問烏鴉。
Teaching you how to fly.
我在教你飛。
I can't fly!
我不會飛！
You're flying tight now.
你現(xiàn)在不就在飛。
I'm falling!
我在往下掉！
Every flight begins with a fall, the crow said. Look down.
飛，都是從墜落開始的，烏鴉說，往下看。
I'm afraid?
我怕…
LOOK DOWN!
往下看！
Bran looked down, and felt his insides turn to water. The ground was rushing up at him now.
布蘭往下看，覺得五臟六腑簡直都要融化。
The whole world was spread out below him, a tapestry of white and brown and green.
地面正朝他迎面襲來，整個世界攤在下方，如同一幅五顏六色的織錦。

他看到陽臺上的魯溫師傅，一邊用只擦得晶亮的青銅管子觀測天象，一邊皺著眉頭在記事本上涂涂寫寫。

他看見哥哥羅柏在廣場上練習(xí)劍術(shù)，手中拿著精鋼打造的真正武器，個頭比記憶中更要高壯。
背景介紹:
《權(quán)力的游戲》是一部中世紀(jì)史詩奇幻題材的電視連續(xù)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(chǔ)改編創(chuàng)作，由大衛(wèi)·貝尼奧夫和丹尼爾·威斯編劇、HBO電視網(wǎng)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(guān)注點，描寫細(xì)膩豐富，突破了幻想文學(xué)界固有的創(chuàng)作模式，多次引領(lǐng)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(jì)的海明威。從1989年開始，馬丁淡出文學(xué)界，轉(zhuǎn)而投身演藝界發(fā)展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學(xué)的創(chuàng)作，處女作便是《權(quán)力的游戲》，即為《冰與火之歌》的首部曲。《權(quán)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(jīng)可以和《魔戒》平起平坐，作者網(wǎng)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。
