He unsheathed his longsword and laid it on the table before him, the bright steel on the rough wood. "This is the only peace I have for Lannisters."
他抽出長劍，放在面前的桌子上，精鋼打造的利刃在粗糙的木頭上閃著寒光。“我拿這個跟他們談判。”
The Greatjon bellowed his approval, and other men added their voices, shouting and drawing swords and pounding their fists on the table. Catelyn waited until they had quieted. "My lords," she said then, "Lord Eddard was your liege, but I shared his bed and bore his children. Do you think I love him any less than you?" Her voice almost broke with her grief, but Catelyn took a long breath and steadied herself. "Robb, if that sword could bring him back, I should never let you sheathe it until Ned stood at my side once more... but he is gone, and hundred Whispering Woods will not change that. Ned is gone, and Daryn Hornwood, and Lord Karstark's valiant sons, and many other good men besides, and none of them will return to us. Must we have more deaths still?"
大瓊恩高聲附和，其他人也表示同意，他們或隨之吶喊，或握拳拍桌，紛紛抽出佩劍。凱特琳靜待他們平息。“諸位大人，”她接著說，“艾德大人是各位的主子和同僚，但我與他同床共枕，為他生兒育女，難道我對他的愛不如各位么？”她哀慟得險些沒了聲音，但她深吸一口氣，用力安撫情緒。“羅柏，假如用劍可以使他起死回生，那么直到奈德再次站在我身邊為止，我都絕不允許你收劍入鞘……然而逝者已矣，縱然有一百次囈語森林大捷也改變不了這事實。奈德走了，戴林恩·霍伍德走了，卡史塔克大人兩個英勇的兒子，以及除此之外許許多多的人都走了，他們都不會再回來。難道我們還要賠上更多人命？”
You are a woman, my lady, the Greatjon rumbled in his deep voice. "Women do not understand these things."
“夫人，您畢竟是女人家，”大瓊恩用那渾厚低沉的聲音說：“女人家不懂這種事。”
You are the gentle sex, said Lord Karstark, with the lines of grief fresh on his face. "A man has a need for vengeance."
“女人家心腸軟，”卡史塔克伯爵道，臉上刻滿悲傷的痕跡。“男人是需要復仇的。”
Give me Cersei Lannister, Lord Karstark, and you would see how gentle a woman can be, Catelyn replied. "Perhaps I do not understand tactics and strategy... but I understand futility.
“卡史塔克大人，把瑟曦·蘭尼斯特交到我手上，我就讓您見識一下女人家的心腸有多軟。”凱特琳回答：“我或許不懂戰術謀略……但我知道什么是徒勞無功。
