You came to us children. You came to us alone, in chains, with neither friends nor honor. You came to us rich, and you came to us poor. Some of you bear the names of proud houses. Others have only bastards' names, or no names at all. It makes no matter. All that is past now. On the Wall, we are all one house.
你們來時尚為孩童，一身孑然，身負枷鎖，既無友朋，更無榮譽。你們來時或富貴榮祿，或赤貧如洗。你們來自豪門望族，或僅有私生子之名，甚或藉藉無名，但這些都不重要。一切皆成過去。長城之上，我們都是一家人?！?/div>
"At evenfall, as the sun sets and we face the gathering night, you shall take your vows. From that moment, you will be a Sworn Brother of the Night's Watch. Your crimes will be washed away, your debts forgiven. So too you must wash away your former loyalties, put aside your grudges, forget old wrongs and old loves alike. Here you begin anew.
“今日傍晚，夕陽西沉，低垂夜幕之下，你們便將宣誓。從此以后，你們就是誓言效命的守夜人弟兄。你們的罪名將被洗清，債務業已勾銷，同樣，你們必須抹去從前的家族忠誠，拋開舊時的仇恨，忘卻過往的情愛恩怨。你們將于茲重獲新生?！?/div>
A man of the Night's Watch lives his life for the realm. Not for a king, nor a lord, nor the honor of this house or that house, neither for gold nor glory nor a woman's love, but for the realm, and all the people in it. A man of the Night's Watch takes no wife and fathers no sons. Our wife is duty. Our mistress is honor. And you are the only sons we shall ever know."
“守夜人為王國效命。非為國王，非為貴族，亦非為豪門榮辱，不論財富，不論光榮，亦不論兒女情愛，一切只為王國安泰及其子民平安。守夜人不娶妻，不生子，我們以責任為妻，以榮譽為妾，而你們則是我們惟一的兒子?！?/p>
