Her small mouth had turned petulant. As Catelyn held her, she remembered the slender, high-breasted girl who'd waited beside her that day in the sept at Riverrun. How lovely and full of hope she had been. All that remained of her sister's beauty was the great fall of thick auburn hair that cascaded to her waist.
凱特琳抱著她，想起當年在奔流城的圣堂婚禮時站在自己身邊，那個身軀纖細、抬頭挺胸的女孩。如今妹妹的美貌只剩下那頭蓬松柔軟、流瀉至腰的紅棕色長發(fā)。
You look well, Catelyn lied, but...tired.
你看起來氣色很好，凱特琳撒了謊。只是…有點累。
Her sister broke the embrace. Tired. Yes. Oh, yes. She seemed to notice the others then; her maid, Maester Colemon, Ser Vardis. Leave us, she told them. I wish to speak to my sister alone. She held Catelyn's hand as they withdrew...
妹妹松開她。是有點累，是啊，真的有點累。這時她似乎注意到在場的其他人：侍女、柯蒙學士和瓦狄斯爵士。你們下去罷，她告訴他們，我想跟我姐姐單獨談談。她挽起凱特琳，看著他們離開…
And dropped it the instant the door closed. Catelyn saw her face change. It was as if the sun had gone behind a cloud. Have you taken leave of your senses? Lysa snapped at her. To bring him here, without a word of permission, without so much as a warning, to drag us into your quarrels with the Lannisters...
門一關上，便立刻摔開她的手。凱特琳見她臉色一變，仿佛烏云遮蔽了太陽。你到底想干什么？萊莎斥責她，竟然未經許可，連聲招呼都不打，就把他帶來這里，把我們扯進你跟蘭尼斯特的爭端……
My quarrels? Catelyn could scarce believe what she was hearing. A great fire burned in the hearth, but there was no trace of warmth in Lysa's voice. They were your quarrels first, sister. It was you who sent me that cursed letter, you who wrote that the Lannisters had murdered your husband.
我的爭端？凱特琳簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。壁爐里火光熊熊，但萊莎的聲音卻沒有絲毫溫暖。小妹，打一開始這就是你的事。你寫了那封該死的信給我，說蘭尼斯特家的人害死了你丈夫。
To warn you, so you could stay away from them! I never meant to fight them! Gods, Cat, do you know what you've done?
我寫信的目的是警告你，叫你離他們遠一點！不是叫你跟他們硬碰硬！諸神在上，凱特，你知道這樣做會有什么后果？
Mother? a small voice said.
媽？一個細小的聲音說。
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(xù)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(chuàng)作，由大衛(wèi)·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(chuàng)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(fā)展，1996年他才重返文壇而開始奇幻文學的創(chuàng)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。
