Here was the call of Maege Mormont's warhorn, a long low blast that rolled down the valley from the east, to tell them that the last of Jaime's riders had entered the trap.
“這里”，梅姬·莫爾蒙奏出長而低沉的號角，自東側轟然直下，炸進河谷，通知人們詹姆的部隊已然全數進了圈套。
And Grey Wind threw back his head and howled.
灰風向后一甩頭，仰天長嚎。
The sound seemed to go right through Catelyn Stark, and she found herself shivering. It was a terrible sound, a frightening sound, yet there was music in it too. For a second she felt something like pity for the Lannisters below. So this is what death sounds like, she thought.
狼嗥之聲仿佛直直地穿透了凱特琳·史塔克，她發現自己渾身顫抖。這是一種恐怖之聲，駭人之聲，然而其中如有音律。一時之間，她竟為下方河谷里的蘭尼斯特軍感到一絲憐憫。這就是死亡之聲，她心想。
HAAroooooooooooooooooooooooo came the answer from the far ridge as the Greatjon winded his own horn. To east and west, the trumpets of the Mallisters and Freys blew vengeance. North, where the valley narrowed and bent like a cocked elbow, Lord Karstark's warhorns added their own deep, mournful voices to the dark chorus. Men were shouting and horses rearing in the stream below.
啊啊嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚……對面山脊傳來大瓊恩的號聲，東西兩邊，梅利斯特家和佛雷家也吹起了復仇的喇叭。河谷的北口極窄，有如彎曲的手肘轉了方向，卡史塔克伯爵的戰號從那里傳來，低沉渾厚，充滿哀悼之音，加入了這場黑暗的大合唱。下方溪谷里，敵軍高聲叫喊，馬兒前腳踢揚。
The whispering wood let out its breath all at once, as the bowmen Robb had hidden in the branches of the trees let fly their arrows and the night erupted with the screams of men and horses. All around her, the riders raised their lances, and the dirt and leaves that had buried the cruel bright points fell away to reveal the gleam of sharpened steel.
奉羅柏之命藏身枝干間的弓箭手們齊齊灑下箭雨，囈語森林用力吐出按捺多時的氣息，整個夜晚頓時充斥人馬哀嚎。她放眼四望，武士們紛紛舉起長槍，褪去用來遮掩反光的泥土和樹葉，露出銳利無比的殘酷尖刃。
