Jon Arryn's trueborn heir, by all the gods, yet there are some who say he is too weak to sit his father's seat, Nestor Royce has been high steward these past fourteen years, while Lord Jon served in King's Landing, and many whisper that he should rule until the boy comes of age.
他是瓊恩·艾林的親生兒子，有天上諸神為證，可有人傳說他太過虛弱，無法繼承父親的寶座。過去十四年來瓊恩大人都在君臨任職，此間是由大總管奈斯特·羅伊斯負責，不少人據此認定應該由他來代理，直到那孩子長大為止。
Others believe that Lysa must marry again, and soon. Already the suitors gather like crows on a battlefield. The Eyrie is full of them.
還有的人認為萊莎理應再婚，并且越快越好。如今鷹巢城內擠滿了追求者，多得像戰場上的烏鴉。
I might have expected that, Catelyn said. Small wonder there; Lysa was still young, and the kingdom of Mountain and Vale made a handsome wedding gift.
我早該料到，凱特琳道。這消息不足為奇，萊莎還年輕，山谷王國更是一份最厚重的嫁妝。
Will Lysa take another husband?
萊莎會再嫁嗎？
She says yes, provided she finds a man who suits her, Brynden Tully said, but she has already rejected Lord Nestor and a dozen other suitable men.
她同意，只要找到合適的人。布林登·徒利道，但她卻拒絕了奈斯特大人和其他十來位追求者。
She swears that this time she will choose her lord husband.
她對外發誓這次要由她來選擇夫婿。
You of all people can scarce fault her for that.
別人也就算了，至少你不該怪她。
Ser Brynden snorted. Nor do I, but...it seems to me Lysa is only playing at courtship. She enjoys the sport.
布林登爵士哼了一聲。我也沒怪她，可……在我看來萊莎只是裝模作樣，她雖然很享受被人追求的愛情游戲。
But I believe your sister intends to rule herself until her boy is old enough to be Lord of the Eyrie in truth as well as name.
但我相信你妹妹打算親自主政，直到兒子長大，成為名副其實的鷹巢城公爵。
A woman can rule as wisely as a man, Catelyn said.
女人跟男人一樣可以英明統治。凱特琳說。
The right woman can, her uncle said with a sideways glance. Make no mistake, Cat. Lysa is not you. He hesitated a moment.
合適的女人才可以。叔叔從旁掃了她一眼，凱特，別搞錯了，萊莎可不是你。他遲疑了一會兒。
If truth be told, I fear you may not find your sister as helpful as you would like.
真要說的話，我很怕你會發現你妹妹能幫得上的忙……沒有想像中的多。
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。
