The night of our wedding feast, the first time we shared a bed, he called me by your sister's name. He was on top of me, in me, stinking of wine, and he whispered Lyanna.
“我們新婚當(dāng)晚，初次同床共枕，他叫的卻是你妹妹的名字。他壓在我身上，進(jìn)到我體內(nèi)，渾身酒臭，他竟然悄悄念著‘萊安娜’。”
Ned Stark thought of pale blue roses, and for a moment he wanted to weep. "I do not know which of you I pitymost."
奈德·史塔克想起碧藍(lán)的玫瑰，一時間只覺泫然欲泣。“我真不知該可憐你還是可憐他。”
The queen seemed amused by that. "Save your pity for yourself, Lord Stark. I want none of it."
王后似乎覺得這話頗為有趣。“史塔克大人，省省力氣可憐你自己罷。我不需要。”
You know what I must do.
“你很清楚我必須怎么做。”
Must? She put her hand on his good leg, just above the knee. "A true man does what he will, not what he must." Her fingers brushed lightly against his thigh, the gentlest of promises. "The realm needs a strong Hand. Joff will not come of age for years. No one wants war again, least of all me." Her hand touched his face, his hair. "If friends can turn to enemies, enemies can become friends. Your wife is a thousand leagues away, and my brother has fled. Be kind to me, Ned. I swear to you, you shall never regret it."
“必須怎么做？”她朝他沒受傷的腳伸出手，擱在剛過膝蓋的地方。“一個真實的人做他想做的事，而不是他必須做的事。”她的手指輕輕拂過他的大腿，帶著最溫柔的暗示。“離小喬成年還有好些年，國家需要一個強(qiáng)有力的首相。沒人想重啟戰(zhàn)端，我尤其不想。”她的手拂過他的臉龐和頭發(fā)，“倘若朋友可以反目成仇，我們?yōu)楹尾荒芑瘮碁橛眩孔鸱蛉诉h(yuǎn)在千里之外，我弟弟也不在城中。奈德，對我好一點，我發(fā)誓絕不讓你后悔。”
Did you make the same offer to Jon Arryn?
“你當(dāng)初也是這么向瓊恩·艾林提議嗎？”
She slapped him.
她甩了他一個耳光。
I shall wear that as a badge of honor, Ned said dryly.
“我會把這當(dāng)成榮譽的獎?wù)隆！蹦蔚吕淅涞卣f。
Honor, she spat. "How dare you play the noble lord with me! What do you take me for? You've a bastard of your own, I've seen him. Who was the mother, I wonder? Some Dornish peasant you raped while her holdfast burned? A whore?
“去你的榮譽，”她啐道，“少給我道貌岸然！你把我當(dāng)什么了？你自己也有個私生子，我親眼見過。我很好奇他的母親是誰？是不是哪個家園被你放火燒掉，隨后被你強(qiáng)奸的多恩農(nóng)家女？還是個婊子？
