Then you'll stay and say your words with me?
“那你會留下來跟我一起宣誓啰？”
The old gods will be expecting us. He made himself smile.
“舊神正在等著我們哪。”他逼自己擠出一絲微笑。
They set out late that afternoon. The Wall had no gates as such, neither here at Castle Black nor anywhere along its three hundred miles. They led their horses down a narrow tunnel cut through the ice, cold dark walls pressing in around them as the passage twisted and turned. Three times their way was blocked by iron bars, and they had to stop while Bowen Marsh drew out his keys and unlocked the massive chains that secured them. Jon could sense the vast weight pressing down on him as he waited behind the Lord Steward. The air was colder than a tomb, and more still. He felt a strange relief when they reemerged into the afternoon light on the north side of the Wall.
他們于當日下午出發(fā)。長城沿線三百里沒有一座城門，他們得牽馬走進穿透冰層的狹窄隧道。路徑曲折蜿蜒，黑暗而冰冷的冰墻無時無刻不向他們逼近。他們經過三道攔路鐵欄，每次都得停下腳步，讓波文·馬爾錫取出大串鑰匙，打開鎖住柵欄的厚重鐵鏈。等候總務長開門時，瓊恩感到無比龐然的重量朝他壓來。這里的空氣陰冷賽過墓穴，且更為凝滯。等他們終于抵達長城以北，重見午后的陽光，頓時感覺到一股奇異的舒暢。
Sam blinked at the sudden glare and looked around apprehensively. "The wildlings ... they wouldn't ... they'd never dare come this close to the Wall, Would they?"
面對突如其來的強光，山姆眨眨眼，擔憂地環(huán)顧四周。“野人……他們不會……他們不敢跑到離長城這么近的地方來，是不是？”
They never have. Jon climbed into his saddle. When Bowen Marsh and their ranger escort had mounted, Jon put two fingers in his mouth and whistled. Ghost came loping out of the tunnel.
“從來不敢。”瓊恩翻身上馬。等波文·馬爾錫和護送他們的游騎兵都上了馬，瓊恩把兩根手指伸進嘴巴，吹聲口哨，白靈從地道里應聲奔出。
The Lord Steward's garron whickered and backed away from the direwolf. "Do you mean to take that beast?"
總務長的坐騎嘶叫著退開。“你要帶這野獸一起去？”
