"There they forged the Pact. The First Men were given the coastlands, the high plains and bright meadows, the mountains and bogs, but the deep woods were to remain forever the children's, and no more weirwoods were to be put to the axe anywhere in the realm. So the gods might bear witness to the signing, every tree on the island was given a face, and afterward, the sacred order of green men was formed to keep watch over the Isle of Faces.
“他們在那里訂立了‘盟誓’，規定先民擁有海岸、平原、草原、山脈和沼澤，但繁茂的大森林永遠歸森林之子所有，而王國全境也不準再砍伐任何一棵魚梁木。為使天上諸神見證此神圣盟誓，他們為島上每一棵樹都刻了臉，并在此成立‘綠人’的神圣組織，專司看守千面嶼。”
The Pact began four thousand years of friendship between men and children. In time, the First Men even put aside the gods they had brought with them, and took up the worship of the secret gods of the wood. The signing of the Pact ended the Dawn Age, and began the Age of Heroes."
“‘盟誓’開始了人類與森林之子間四千年的友誼，到后來，先民甚至拋棄了他們從東方帶來的信仰，改而崇拜森林之子的神秘諸神。盟誓的簽署結束了黎明之紀元，開始了英雄之紀元。”
Bran's fist curled around the shiny black arrowhead. "But the children of the forest are all gone now, you said."
布蘭的手掌，緊緊握住閃亮的黑箭頭。“可你說森林之子已經滅絕了?！?/div>
Here, they are, said Osha, as she bit off the end of the last bandage with her teeth. "North of the Wall, things are different. That's where the children went, and the giants, and the other old races."
“在這里，他們是滅絕了，”歐莎一邊說，一邊用牙齒咬斷繃帶末端。“長城以北可就不一樣。森林之子、巨人還有其他古老的民族就是到那兒去啦?！?/div>
Maester Luwin sighed. "Woman, by rights you ought to be dead or in chains. The Starks have treated you more gently than you deserve. It is unkind to repay them for their kindness by filling the boys' heads with folly."
魯溫師傅嘆道：“女人，照理說你應該被處以死刑或至少披枷戴鎖。史塔克家族給你的待遇，遠超過你所應得的。他們對你這么好，你卻把這孩子的腦袋里裝滿荒唐思想，實在是太忘恩負義了?！?/p>
