Mormont leaned forward. "Tarly, when I was a lad half your age, my lady mother told me that if I stood about with my mouth open, a weasel was like to mistake it for his lair and run down my throat. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, beware of weasels." He waved a brusque dismissal. "Off with you, I'm too busy for folly. No doubt the maester has some work you can do."
莫爾蒙往前靠去，“塔利，從前我還只有你一半年紀(jì)的時(shí)候，我母親跟我說，如果我張開嘴巴傻站著，黃鼠狼可能會誤以為我嘴巴是它老巢，然后一溜煙鉆進(jìn)喉嚨去。所以，你有事就趕快說，否則小心黃鼠狼。”他粗魯?shù)負(fù)]手示意他退下，“你走吧，我忙得很，沒空聽你胡扯。我想學(xué)士那兒應(yīng)該有工作等著你。”
Sam swallowed, stepped back, and scurried out so quickly he almost tripped over the rushes.
山姆吞吞口水，向后一退，連忙快步離去，還差點(diǎn)絆倒在草席上。
Is that boy as big a fool as he seems? the Lord Commander asked when he'd gone. "Fool," the raven complained. Mormont did not wait for Jon to answer. "His lord father stands high in King Renly's councils, and I had half a notion to dispatch him... no, best not. Renly is not like to heed a quaking fat boy. I'll send Ser Arnell. He's a deal steadier, and his mother was one of the green-apple Fossoways."
“這小子真像看起來那么蠢嗎？”他走之后，司令開口問。“蠢！”烏鴉埋怨道。莫爾蒙沒等瓊恩回答，“他父親大人在藍(lán)禮國王的朝臣中頗有份量，我本有心派他……算了，叫這個(gè)蠢話連篇的胖小子去見藍(lán)禮，恐怕沒好結(jié)果。我請亞耐爾爵士去好了，他比較沉穩(wěn)，況且他母親還是綠蘋果佛索威家的人。”
If it please my lord, what would you have of King Renly?
彷佛依舊有生命“大人，可否容我問一句，您向藍(lán)禮國王所求何事呢？”
The same things I'd have of all of them, lad. Men, horses, swords, armor, grain, cheese, wine, wool, nails... the Night's Watch is not proud, we take what is offered. His fingers drummed against the roughhewn planks of the table. "If the winds have been kind, Ser Alliser should reach King's Landing by the turn of the moon, but whether this boy Joffrey will pay him any heed, I do not know. House Lannister has never been a friend to the Watch."
“小子，我跟每個(gè)國王要的東西還不都一樣？士兵、戰(zhàn)馬、刀劍、盔甲、谷物、乳酪、酒類、羊毛、釘子……守夜人軍團(tuán)一點(diǎn)不挑剔，別人給什么，咱們照單全收。”他的手指在粗木桌面上敲打，“假如風(fēng)向順?biāo)欤锷尘羰吭谝粋€(gè)月內(nèi)便會抵達(dá)君臨，但小毛頭喬佛里會不會理睬他，這我可就不敢說了。蘭尼斯特家對咱守夜人從沒好過。”
