He shouldered his way to where his daughter was seated and found her as the horns blew for the day's first joust. Sansa was so engrossed she scarcely seemed to notice his arrival.
他推擠著穿過人群，走到女兒身邊時，當天第一場比武的號角正好吹響。珊莎聚精會神地看著武場，沒注意他的到來。
Sandor Clegane was the first rider to appear. He wore an olive-green cloak over his soot-grey armor. That, and his hound's-head helm, were his only concession to ornament.
桑鐸·克里岡首先出現在場子上，他穿著煙灰色的戰甲，外罩橄欖綠披風。那件披風和他的獵犬頭盔是他全身上下惟一的裝飾。
A hundred golden dragons on the Kingslayer, Littlefinger announced loudly as Jaime Lannister entered the lists, riding an elegant blood bay destrier. The horse wore a blanket of gilded ringmail, and Jaime glittered from head to heel. Even his lance was fashioned from the golden wood of the Summer Isles.
一百枚金龍幣賭弒君者贏。詹姆·蘭尼斯特騎著優雅的血棕色戰馬進場時，小指頭高聲宣布。這匹馬披著鍍金環甲，詹姆本人也是從頭到腳金光閃閃，他的長槍則是用盛夏群島出產的金木所削制。
Done, Lord Renly shouted back. The Hound has a hungry look about him this morning.
我跟，藍禮公爵喊回去，我看'獵狗'今兒早上特別餓。
Even hungry dogs know better than to bite the hand that feeds them, Littlefinger called dryly.
狗就算肚餓，也知道不能咬主人的手。小指頭冷冷地回敬。
Sandor Clegane dropped his visor with an audible clang and took up his position. Ser Jaime tossed a kiss to some woman in the commons, gently lowered his visor, and rode to the end of the lists. Both men couched their lances.
桑鐸·克里岡鏗地一聲，把面罩蓋上，然后就位。詹姆爵士向群眾里某位女士拋出個飛吻，方才輕輕拉下面罩，騎到場子邊。兩人放低長槍。
Ned Stark would have loved nothing so well as to see them both lose, but Sansa was watching it all moist-eyed and eager.
奈德最樂于見到的莫過于兩人都輸，珊莎則睜大眼睛急切觀看。
The hastily erected gallery trembled as the horses broke into a gallop.
兩匹馬開始全速奔跑，臨時搭建的看臺也隨之震動。
The Hound leaned forward as he rode, his lance rock steady, but Jaime shifted his seat deftly in the instant before impact.
獵狗騎在馬上，身體前傾，他的長槍穩若磐石，但詹姆在交擊前的一刻把身體一挪，結果克里岡的槍尖被他的獅紋黃金盾毫發無傷地卸開，自己反被刺個正著。
