I might have a copper or two, but I'd sooner toss it down a well than pay for your howling, Ser Rodrik groused. His opinion of singers was well known; music was a lovely thing for girls, but he could not comprehend why any healthy boy would fill his hand with a harp when he might have had a sword.
我是有兩個銅板，但我寧可把錢扔到井里也不想聽你鬼叫。羅德利克爵士沒好氣地說。他討厭歌手是出了名的，他認為女孩子家學點音樂固然很好，但身體健康的男孩竟然不碰刀劍，反而拿個豎琴哼哼唱唱，實在太不像話。
Your grandfather has a sour nature, Marillion said to Catelyn. I meant to do you honor. An homage to your beauty. In truth, I was made to sing for kings and high lords.
你爺爺講話真酸，馬瑞里安對凱特琳說，我本來是想歌頌你的美貌哪。說實話，我這嗓子生來就是要唱歌給國王和大老爺聽的。
Oh, I can see that, Catelyn said. Lord Tully is fond of song, I hear. No doubt you've been to Riverrun.
噢，看得出來，凱特琳道，據說徒利家老爺愛聽音樂，想必你一定到過奔流城吧？
A hundred times, the singer said airily. They keep a chamber for me, and the young lord is like a brother.
去過不知多少次了哪，歌手輕飄飄地說，他們還專門幫我備了一間客房，我和他家少爺熟得跟哥們兒一樣。
Catelyn smiled, wondering what Edmure would think of that. Another singer had once bedded a girl her brother fancied; he had hated the breed ever since. And Winterfell? she asked him. Have you traveled north?
凱特琳微笑，心想不知艾德慕聽了會作何反應？她弟弟自從喜歡的女孩子被一個歌手給睡了之后，他對這個行業便痛恨至今。那臨冬城呢？她又問，你去過北方嗎？
Why would I?' Marillion asked. It's all blizzards and bearskins up there, and the Starks know no music but the howling of wolves. Distantly, she was aware of the door banging open at the far end of the room.
我去那兒做什么？馬瑞里安反問，那里冰雪滿天飛，出個門都裹得厚厚的，而且史塔克家的人哪懂什么音樂？他們只愛聽狼嚎罷了。這時她隱約聽見房間遠端傳來開門的聲音。
Innkeep, a servant's voice called out behind her, we have horses that want stabling, and my lord of Lannister requires a room and a hot bath.
老板，一個隨從的聲音從她身后傳來，找個人幫我們喂馬，我們家蘭尼斯特大人要房間和洗熱水澡。
Oh, gods, Ser Rodrik said before Catelyn reached out to silence him, her fingers tightening hard around his forearm.
諸神在上。羅德利克道，凱特琳急忙伸手制止他，她的手指緊緊攫住他的前臂。
Masha Heddle was bowing and smiling her hideous red smile. I'm sorry, m'lord, truly, we're full up, every room.
瑪莎·海德露出那招牌式的可怖的腥紅微笑，忙著打躬作揖。大人，真對不住，可咱們真的客滿了。
