Ser Willis Wode led them out. Bronn took the rear, with Lady Stark safely in the middle, Ser Rodrik a shadow beside her. Marillion kept throwing sullen looks back at Tyrion as they rode. The singer had broken several ribs, his woodharp, and all four fingers on his playing hand, yet the day had not been an utter loss to him; somewhere he had acquired a magnificent shadowskin cloak, thick black fur slashed by stripes of white. He huddled beneath its folds silently, and for once had nothing to say.
維里·渥德領隊，波隆負責殿后，史塔克夫人安全地騎在隊伍中間，羅德利克爵士則如影隨形跟在她身旁。途中，馬瑞里安帶著怨恨的眼光，不斷回頭看他，他的幾根肋骨，木頭豎琴，還有用來彈奏的四根指頭通通斷了，但他還不算倒楣到極點：他弄來一件漂亮的影子山貓皮披風，厚實的黑毛皮，點綴著白線。他沉默地縮在斗篷里，難得地閉上了嘴巴。
They heard the deep growls of shadowcats behind them before they had gone half a mile, and later the wild snarling of the beasts fighting over the corpses they had left behind. Marillion grew visibly pale. Tyrion trotted up beside him. Craven, he said, rhymes nicely with raven. He kicked his horse and moved past the singer, up to Ser Rodrik and Catelyn Stark.
行不到半里，他們便聽見背后影子山貓低沉的吼叫，稍后又傳來它們爭食尸體的咆哮。馬瑞里安的臉色愈加蒼白，提利昂騎馬跑到他旁邊。'黑鳥'，他道，恰好跟'膽子小'押韻。說完他一踢馬肚，丟下吟游詩人，跑到羅德利克爵士和凱特琳·史塔克身邊。
She looked at him, lips pressed tightly together.
她抿緊嘴唇看著他。
As I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted, Tyrion began, there is a serious flaw in Littlefinger's fable. Whatever you may believe of me, Lady Stark, I promise you this, I never bet against my family.
剛才我話說到一半，就被人無禮地打斷了。提利昂開口道，小指頭編的故事里有個很嚴重的疏漏。史塔克夫人，無論你信不信，我可以向你保證——我跟別人賭的時候，只把注下在自家人身上。
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。
