It was his first misstep, but how to make him see it without wounding his fledgling confidence? "Your father once told me that the Greatjon was as fearless as any man he had ever known."
這是他犯的第一個錯誤，但要如何讓他明白，而不傷害到他僅見雛形的自尊呢？“你父親曾經對我說，大瓊恩是他平生所見最勇猛無畏的人。”
Robb grinned. "Grey Wind ate two of his fingers, and he laughed about it. So you agree, then?"
羅柏嘻嘻笑道：“灰風咬掉他兩根手指頭，他卻哈哈大笑。這么說來你同意啰？”
Your father is not fearless, Catelyn pointed out. "He is brave, but that is very different."
“你父親并非無畏，”凱特琳指出：“而是勇敢，這是完全不一樣的。”
Her son considered that for a moment. "The eastern host will be all that stands between Lord Tywin and Winterfell," he said thoughtfully. "Well, them and whatever few bowmen I leave here at the Moat. So I don't want someone fearless, do I?"
兒子仔細考慮了半晌。“東路軍將是惟一能阻擋泰溫大人前往臨冬城的屏障。”他若有所思地說，“嗯，就只有他們，以及我留在卡林灣的少量弓箭手。所以我不應該讓無畏的人來率領，對不對？”
No. You want cold cunning, I should think, not courage.
“沒錯。我認為你要的應該是冷靜的頭腦，而非匹夫之勇。”
Roose Bolton, Robb said at once. "That man scares me."
“那就是盧斯·波頓了。”羅柏馬上說，“我很怕那個人。”
Then let us pray he will scare Tywin Lannister as well.
“就讓我們祈禱泰溫·蘭尼斯特也怕他吧。”
Robb nodded and rolled up the map. "I'll give the commands, and assemble an escort to take you home to Winterfell."
羅柏點點頭，卷起地圖。“就這樣辦，我會派一隊人馬護送你回臨冬城。”
Catelyn had fought to keep herself strong, for Ned's sake and for this stubborn brave son of theirs. She had put despair and fear aside, as if they were garments she did not choose to wear... but now she saw that she had donned them after all.
這些日子以來，凱特琳極力使自己堅強。為了奈德，也為了他倆這個勇敢而倔強的兒子，她拋開了絕望和恐懼，仿佛那是她所不愿穿的衣服……然而現在她發現自己終究還是穿著。
