There were other wolves for her to play with, we heard them howling, and Jory said the woods were full of game, so she'd have deer to hunt.
她該去找其他狼玩，我們聽見好多狼在叫，喬里說森林里獵物很多，她可以去追捕野鹿，
Only she kept following, and finally we had to throw rocks. I hit her twice.
可她偏偏要跟著我們，最后我們才不得不丟石頭趕她。我打中她兩次，
She whined and looked at me and I felt so 'shamed, but it was right, wasn't it? The queen would have killed her.
她邊哀嚎邊看著我，我覺得好羞恥，但這樣做是正確的對不對？不然王后會殺她的。
It was right, her father said. And even the lie was...not without honor. He'd put Needle aside when he went to Arya to embrace her.
你做得沒錯，父親說，有時謊言也能…不失榮譽。方才他趨身擁抱艾莉亞時把縫衣針放在一邊，
Now he took the blade up again and walked to the window, where he stood for a moment, looking out across the courtyard.
這會兒他又拾起短劍，踱至窗邊。他在那里駐足片刻，視線穿過廣場，望向遠方。
When he turned back, his eyes were thoughtful. He seated himself on the window seat, Needle across his lap. Arya, sit down.
等他回過頭來，眼里滿是思緒。他在窗邊坐下，把縫衣針平放膝上。艾莉亞，坐下來。
I need to try and explain some things to you.
有些事我要試著跟你解釋清楚。
She perched anxiously on the edge of her bed. You are too young to be burdened with all my cares, he told her, but you are also a Stark of Winterfell.
她不安地在床邊坐下。你年紀還太小，本不該讓你分擔我所有的憂慮。他告訴她，但你是臨冬城史塔克家族的一份子，
You know our words.
你也知道我們的族語。
Winter is coming, Arya whispered.
凜冬將至。艾莉亞輕聲說。
The hard cruel times, her father said.
是的，艱苦而殘酷的時代即將來臨，父親說，
We tasted them on the Trident, child, and when Bran fell. You were born in the long summer, sweet one, you've never known anything else, but now the winter is truly coming.
我們在三叉戟河上嘗到了這種滋味，孩子，布蘭墜樓時也是。你生于漫長的盛夏時節，我親愛的好孩子，至今還未經歷其他季節，然而現在冬天真的要來了。
Remember the sigil of our House, Arya.
艾莉亞，不論何時何地，我要你牢牢記住我們的家徽。
The direwolf, she said, thinking of Nymeria. She hugged her knees against her chest, suddenly afraid.
冰原狼。她邊說邊想起娜梅莉亞，不由得縮起膝蓋、靠著胸膛，害怕了起來。
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。
