Bran shook his head. I was just remembering, he said. Jory brought us here once, to fish for trout. You and me and Jon. Do you remember?
布蘭搖搖頭。我只是想起從前的事。他說，有一次喬里帶我們來這兒抓鱒魚。就你、我還有瓊恩，記得嗎？
I remember, Robb said, his voice quiet and sad.
我記得。羅柏說，他的語調平靜而哀傷。
I didn't catch anything, Bran said, but Jon gave me his fish on the way back to Winterfell. Will we ever see Jon again?
結果我什么也沒抓到，布蘭說，可在回臨冬城的路上，瓊恩卻把他抓的魚都給了我。我們還能再見到瓊恩嗎？
We saw Uncle Benjen when the king came to visit, Robb pointed out. Jon will visit too, you'll see.
上次國王來訪，我們不就看到了班揚叔叔？羅柏告訴他，瓊恩也會回來作客，你等著瞧吧。
The stream was running high and fast. Robb dismounted and led his gelding across the ford.
溪流湍急，水勢高漲。羅柏下馬，牽著坐騎越過淺灘。
In the deepest part of the crossing, the water came up to midthigh. He tied his horse to a tree on the far side, and waded back across for Bran and Dancer.
渡口最深處，水及大腿。他把馬兒拴在對岸的一棵樹上，然后涉水回來帶布蘭和小舞過去。
The current foamed around rock and root, and Bran could feel the spray on his face as Robb led him over.
溪流拍打著巖石和樹根，激起陣陣飛沫，羅柏當先領他渡河，布蘭可以感覺水花濺到臉上。
It made him smile. For a moment he felt strong again, and whole.
他笑了。一時之間，他覺得自己又是身強體壯，四肢健全。
He looked up at the trees and dreamed of climbing them, right up to the very top, with the whole forest spread out beneath him.
他仰望樹林，夢想自己能爬上去，攀上樹頂，讓整片樹海盡展眼前。
They were on the far side when they heard the howl, a long rising wail that moved through the trees like a cold wind.
他們抵達對岸時，只聽樹林里傳來一聲長嚎，音調漸高，哀嘆久長，仿如穿梭林間的一陣冷風。
Bran raised his head to listen. Summer, he said. No sooner had he spoken than a second voice joined the first.
布蘭抬首聆聽。那是夏天。他說。話音剛落，第二陣嚎聲便加入進來。
They've made a kill, Robb said as he remounted. I'd best go and bring them back. Wait here, Theon and the others should be along shortly.
他們殺死獵物了。羅柏邊說邊騎上馬。我看我最好去帶他們回來。你在這里等，席恩他們應該馬上就到。
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。
