"Did you watch for me?" he'd ask when he bent to bug her. "Did you, little cat?"
“你有沒有等我啊？”當(dāng)他彎身摟抱她時，一定會這么問，“有沒有啊，小凱特？”
Brandon Stark had bid her wait as well. "I shall not be long, my lady," he had vowed. "We will be wed on my return." Yet when the day came at last, it was his brother Eddard who stood beside her in the sept.
布蘭登·史塔克也教她等了好久。“夫人，此行不會太長。”他曾鄭重發(fā)誓，“等我回來，咱們便可成婚。”然而當(dāng)成婚那天終于來臨，與她并肩站在圣堂的卻是他的弟弟艾德。
Ned had lingered scarcely a fortnight with his new bride before he too had ridden off to war with promises on his lips. At least he had left her with more than words; he had given her a son. Nine moons had waxed and waned, and Robb had been born in Riverrun while his father still warred in the south. She had brought him forth in blood and pain, not knowing whether Ned would ever see him. Her son. He had been so small...
奈德與新娘相守不足兩周，便又快馬趕赴戰(zhàn)場，只留下一個又一個承諾。好歹他留下的不只是空洞的話語，他還給了她一個兒子。月盈月缺，轉(zhuǎn)眼九個月過去，羅柏誕生于奔流城，他的父親卻還在南方作戰(zhàn)。她歷經(jīng)莫大痛苦，把渾身是血的羅柏帶來人世，卻不知奈德今生有無機會見到他。她的兒子啊，當(dāng)時的他好小好小……
And now it was for Robb that she waited for... for Robb, and for Jaime Lannister, the gilded knight who men said had never learned to wait at all. "The Kingslayer is restless, and quick to anger," her uncle Brynden had told Robb. And he had wagered their lives and their best hope of victory on the truth of what he said.
如今，她等待的對象變成了羅柏……以及詹姆·蘭尼斯特，那個金光閃閃，傳說從不知等待為何物的騎士。“弒君者暴躁易怒。”布林登叔叔對羅柏這么說，他則以所有人的性命和惟一的希望為賭注，押在這句話上面。
If Robb was frightened, he gave no sign of it. Catelyn watched her son as he moved among the men, touching one on the shoulder, sharing a jest with another, helping a third to gentle an anxious horse. His armor clinked softly when he moved. Only his head was bare.
羅柏即便心里害怕，也一點沒表現(xiàn)出來。凱特琳看著他在隊伍里走動，拍拍這人肩膀，和那人同聲說笑，又協(xié)助另一人安撫焦躁不安的馬匹。他的盔甲隨著移動輕聲作響，全身上下只有頭部暴露在外。
