Sam got awkwardly to his feet. I had better try to sleep. He huddled down in his cloak and plodded off.
山姆蹣跚地站起身。我想辦法睡一會兒好了。他裹緊斗篷離開。
The others were still in the common room when Jon returned, alone but for Ghost.Where have you been? Pyp asked.
瓊恩帶著白靈回到大廳時，其他人都還在。你跑哪兒去啦？派普問。
Talking with Sam, he said.
跟山姆聊天。他說。
He truly is craven, said Grenn. At supper, there were still places on the bench when he got his pie, but he was too scared to come sit with us.
他實在窩囊透頂，葛蘭道，晚上吃飯，長凳上明明還有空位，可他拿了餡餅偏偏就不敢過來跟我們一起坐。
The Lord of Ham thinks he's too good to eat with the likes of us, suggested Jeren.
火腿大人太尊貴啦，不跟我們這種人同桌用飯的。杰倫猜測。
I saw him eat a pork pie, Toad said, smirking. Do you think it was a brother? He began to make oinking noises.
你們看看他吃豬肉餅的樣子，陶德獰笑道，簡直就是在跟兄弟敘舊。說完他學起了豬叫。
Stop it! Jon snapped angrily.
閉嘴！瓊恩憤怒地斥道。
The other boys fell silent, taken aback by his sudden fury. Listen to me, Jon said into the quiet, and he told them how it was going to be.
其他男孩被他突如其來的怒氣嚇住，紛紛沉默下來。聽我說。瓊恩平靜地告訴他們該怎么做。
Pyp backed him, as he'd known he would, but when Halder spoke up, it was a pleasant surprise.
如他所料，派普站在他這邊，但令人驚喜的是霍德也表示支持。
Grenn was anxious at the first, but Jon knew the words to move him. One by one the rest fell in line.
葛蘭起初還有些猶豫，但瓊恩知道怎樣才能說動他。其他人也紛紛同意。
Jon persuaded some, cajoled some, shamed the others, made threats where threats were required. At the end they had all agreed...all but Rast.
瓊恩或好言勸說，或以利相誘，有時出言羞辱，必要的話也用武力要挾。最后所有人都愿意照他的話去做…只有雷斯特不肯。
You girls do as you please, Rast said, but if Thorne sends me against Lady Piggy, I'm going to slice me off a rasher of bacon.
你們要孬種就孬種罷，雷斯特說，但如果索恩叫我跟豬小姐打，我可是會好好切他一大塊火腿下來。
He laughed in Jon's face and left them there.
他當著瓊恩的面冷笑兩聲，轉身便走。
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。
