I never...I didn't think...
我不知道…我以為…
Best you start thinking, Noye warned him. That, or sleep with a dagger by your bed. Now go.
好好想一想，諾伊提醒他。不然就準備枕著匕首睡覺。行了，你回去吧。
By the time Jon left the armory, it was almost midday. The sun had broken through the clouds.
瓊恩離開武器庫時，已近中午。太陽撥開云層，露出臉來。
He turned his back on it and lifted his eyes to the Wall, blazing blue and crystalline in the sunlight.
他轉身背向陽光，將視線抬至長城，看著城墻在陽光下閃著晶瑩的藍光。
Even after all these weeks, the sight of it still gave him the shivers.
雖然已經在此生活了好幾個星期，可每當他目光觸及這番景象，依舊不禁渾身顫抖。
Centuries of windblown dirt had pocked and scoured it, covering it like a film, and it often seemed a pale grey, the color of an overcast sky...
無數世代的風沙污泥，早在城墻留下印痕，宛如一層覆蓋的膜，以至于城墻有時成了淺灰，猶如陰霾天際…
but when the sun caught it fair on a bright day, it shone, alive with light, a colossal blue-white cliff that filled up half the sky.
但當晴日里天光直射，長城又仿佛有生命般閃閃發亮，如同一道橫斷半天的藍白絕壁。
The largest structure ever built by the hands of man, Benjen Stark had told Jon on the kingsroad when they had first caught sight of the Wall in the distance.
當初他們在國王大道上遙遙望見長城時，班揚史塔克告訴瓊恩這是人類所造最龐大的建筑物。
And beyond a doubt the most useless, Tyrion Lannister had added with a grin, but even the Imp grew silent as they rode closer.
毫無疑問也是最沒用的。聽完后，提利昂·蘭尼斯特嘻笑著加上一句。然而隨著距離漸漸拉近，連小惡魔也沉默下來。
You could see it from miles off, a pale blue line across the northern horizon, stretching away to the east and west and vanishing in the far distance, immense and unbroken.
幾里之外便可清楚地看到這條橫亙北方地平線的灰藍直線，毫不間斷地向東西兩邊延展，直到消失于遠方，
This is the end of the world, it seemed to say.
好像在宣告：這里便是世界盡頭。
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。
