The boy is Lord of the Eyrie and Defender of the Vale, Catelyn reminded her, and these are no times for delicacy. Ned thinks it may come to war.
這孩子是鷹巢城公爵，也是艾林谷的守護者。凱特琳提醒她，現在不是曲意溫柔的時候。奈德認為依目前情勢很可能會演變至戰爭。
Quiet! Lysa snapped at her. You're scaring the boy.
閉嘴！萊莎怒叱。你嚇到孩子了。
Little Robert took a quick peek over his shoulder at Catelyn and began to tremble.
小勞勃從她肩頭偷偷望了凱特琳一眼，然后發起抖來。
His doll fell to the rushes, and he pressed himself against his mother.
他的玩偶掉到地毯上，他則緊緊抱住母親。
Don't be afraid, my sweet baby, Lysa whispered.
我親愛的小寶貝，別怕喔。萊莎輕聲說。
Mother's here, nothing will hurt you. She opened her robe and drew out a pale, heavy breast, tipped with red.
媽咪在這里，不會有事的。她掀開睡袍，拉出一只蒼白但漲鼓鼓、奶頭紅潤的乳房。
The boy grabbed for it eagerly, buried his face against her chest, and began to suck. Lysa stroked his hair.
男孩渴切地抓住它，把頭埋在她胸口，吸吮了起來。萊莎撫弄著他的頭發。
Catelyn was at a loss for words. Jon Arryn's son, she thought incredulously.
凱特琳說不出話來。這竟然是瓊恩·艾林的兒子，她難以置信地想。
She remembered her own baby, three-year-old Rickon, half the age of this boy and five times as fierce.
她想起了自己的小兒子，瑞肯才三歲，年紀只有這男孩的一半，
Small wonder the lords of the Vale were restive. For the first time she understood why the king had tried to take the child away from his mother to foster with the Lannisters...
卻精力旺盛，足以當他好幾倍有余。難怪艾林谷的諸侯們焦慮不安。她終于了解到國王為何要把這孩子從母親身邊帶開，交給蘭尼斯特家撫養…
We're safe here, Lysa was saying. Whether to her or to the boy, Catelyn was not sure.
在這里，我們不會有事。萊莎說。至于這話究竟是對她說，還是對那孩子說，凱特琳無法確定。
Don't be a fool, Catelyn said, the anger rising in her. No one is safe.
別傻了，凱特琳道，怒意陡然從心中升起。現在哪里都不安全。
If you think hiding here will make the Lannisters forget you, you are sadly mistaken.
你以為躲在這里，蘭尼斯特家就會忘記你的存在嗎？你真是大錯特錯！
Lysa covered her boy's ear with her hand. Even if they could bring an army through the mountains and past the Bloody Gate, the Eyrie is impregnable.
萊莎伸手捂住男孩的耳朵。就算他們帶兵殺進崇山峻嶺，穿過血門，也不可能攻破鷹巢城。
You saw for yourself. No enemy could ever reach us up here.
你自己也看到了，沒有人能攻到這里。
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。
