Tyrion looked around. The enemy were all vanquished or vanished. Somehow the fighting had ended when he wasn't looking. Dying horses and wounded men lay all around, screaming or moaning. To his vast astonishment, he was not one of them. He opened his fingers and let the axe thunk to the ground. His hands were sticky with blood. He could have sworn they had been fighting for half a day, but the sun seemed scarcely to have moved at all.
提利昂環顧四周，敵人不是被殺便是逃走，總之戰斗在他沒注意到的時候已經結束。遍地都是瀕死的馬和負傷的人，發出慘叫和呻吟。最令他驚訝的是自己竟安然無恙。他松開手指，斧頭鏘一聲落在地上，忽然發現自己滿手是血。他相信他們起碼打了半天之久，但太陽卻紋絲未動。
Your first battle? Bronn asked later as he bent over Jyck's body, pulling off his boots. They were good boots, as befit one of Lord Tywin's men; heavy leather, oiled and supple, much finer than what Bronn was wearing.
第一次上戰場？過了一會兒，波隆站在杰克的尸體上一邊彎身脫靴子，一邊問。那是雙好靴子，厚實的皮革，上過油，柔軟異常，正配泰溫公爵手下的身份，比起波隆穿的要好太多了。
Tyrion nodded. My father will be so proud, he said. His legs were cramping so badly he could scarcely stand. Odd, he had never once noticed the pain during the battle.
提利昂點點頭。我老爸應該會驕傲。他說。他的腳抽筋得厲害，幾乎無法站立。奇怪，剛才打斗時卻一點不覺得疼。
You need a woman now, Bronn said with a glint in his black eyes. He shoved the boots into his saddlebag. Nothing like a woman after a man's been blooded, take my word.
你需要找個女人，波隆眨著黑眼睛，順手將靴子扔進自己的馬鞍袋。相信我，流過血之后，找個女人最來勁。
Chiggen stopped looting the corpses of the brigands long enough to snort and lick his lips.
聽見這話，契根停下對土匪尸體的搜刮，哼了一聲，舔舔舌頭。
Tyrion glanced over to where Lady Stark was dressing Ser Rodrik's wounds. I'm willing if she is, he said. The freeriders broke into laughter, and Tyrion grinned and thought, There's a start.
提利昂瞄了一眼正幫羅德利克爵士包扎的史塔克夫人。她說好我就上。他說。兩個流浪武士聽了哈哈大笑，提利昂一邊跟著樂一邊想：這是個好的開始。
Afterward he knelt by the stream and washed the blood off his face in water cold as ice.
隨后他跪在溪邊，用冰冷刺骨的溪水洗去臉上血跡。
