As the northern lords studied the castle, a sally port opened, a plank bridge slid across the moat,
正當北方諸侯觀察城堡時，一扇邊門突然打開，伸出一座木板橋跨越護城河，
and a dozen knights rode forth to confront them, led by four of Lord Walder's many sons.
十來個騎士朝他們而來。他們由瓦德侯爵的四個兒子率領，

Sir Stevron, past sixty with grandchildren of his own, looked like an especially old and tired weasel, yet he was polite enough.

"I do." Robb spurred his horse forward.
“是我。”羅柏催馬上前。
He was in his armor, with the direwolf shield of Winterfell strapped to his saddle and Grey Wind padding by his side.

The old knight looked at her son with a faint flicker of amusement in his watery grey eyes,
老騎士水汪汪的灰眼里閃現出一抹興味，
though his gelding whickered uneasily and sidled away from the direwolf.
但他的坐騎卻不安地哼了兩聲，避開了冰原狼。
"My lord father would be most honored if you would share meat and mead with him in the castle and explain your purpose here."
“如您愿意到城里與家父共進晚餐，表明您的來意，相信他必定大感榮幸。”
