Sam gave a tremulous nod, working up his courage with a visible effort. Slowly he swiveled his head. His eyes widened, but Jon held his arm so he could not turn away.
山姆顫巍巍地點個頭，很明顯地努力鼓起勇氣，然后緩緩轉頭。他的雙眼頓時睜得老大，但瓊恩抓住他的手，不讓他轉開。
Sir Jaremy, the Old Bear asked gruffly, "Ben Stark had six men with him when he rode from the Wall. Where are the others?"
“杰瑞米爵士，”熊老沒好氣地問，“班·史塔克出長城帶了六個人，其他人上哪兒去了？”
Sir Jaremy shook his head. "Would that I knew."
杰瑞米爵士搖搖頭?！拔胰羰侵谰秃昧??！?/div>
Plainly Mormont was not pleased with that answer. "Two of our brothers butchered almost within sight of the Wall, yet your rangers heard nothing, saw nothing. Is this what the Night's Watch has fallen to? Do we still sweep these woods?"
莫爾蒙對這答案顯然大為不滿?！皟蓚€弟兄幾乎在長城的肉眼可見范圍內慘遭殺害，你的游騎兵卻什么也沒聽見，什么也沒看到，難道守夜人已經怠惰到這種地步了？我們到底有沒有派人掃蕩森林？”
Yes, my lord, but...
“當然是有的，大人，可是——”
Do we still mount watches?
“我們還有沒有派人騎馬巡邏？”
We do, but...
“有的，可是——”
This man wears a hunting horn. Mormont pointed at Othor. "Must I suppose that he died without sounding it? Or have your rangers all gone deaf as well as blind?"
“這家伙身上帶著獵號，”莫爾蒙指著奧瑟說，“莫非你要我相信他臨死前連一聲都沒吹？還是你的游騎兵不只眼睛瞎了，連耳朵也聾啦？”
Sir Jaremy bristled, his face taut with anger. "No horn was blown, my lord, or my rangers would have heard it. I do not have sufficient men to mount as many patrols as I should like... and since Benjen was lost, we have stayed closer to the Wall than we were wont to do before, by your own command."
杰瑞米爵士氣得毛發豎立，滿臉怒容?！按笕?，沒有人吹號角，否則我的游騎兵一定會聽見。如今人手不夠，根本無法照我的意圖仔細巡邏……更何況自從班揚失蹤，我們已經縮短了巡邏范圍，比以前更靠近長城——這可是大人您親自下的令?！?/div>
The Old Bear grunted. "Yes. Well. Be that as it may." He made an impatient gesture. "Tell me how they died."
熊老咕噥道：“唉，也是。那就算了罷。”他不耐煩地揮揮手。“跟我說說他們是怎么死的。”
