"My lords of Stark," the girl said. "The years have passed in their hundreds and their thousands since my folk first swore their fealty to the King in the North. My lord father has sent us here to say the words again, for all our people."
“尊貴的史塔克大人，”女孩道，“千百年來，我族皆對(duì)北境之王誓言忠貞。如今尊王再現(xiàn)，父親大人特命吾等前來，代表全體人民，向您再次宣誓效忠?！?/div>
She is looking at me, Bran realized. He had to make some answer. "My brother Robb is fighting in the south," he said, "but you can say your words to me, if you like."
我們將永遠(yuǎn)追隨于您她看著我呢！布蘭意識(shí)到，必須說點(diǎn)什么。“我哥哥去南方作戰(zhàn)了，”他說，“如果方便的話，您的誓言就對(duì)我說吧?！?/div>
"To Winterfell we pledge the faith of Greywater," they said together. "Hearth and heart and harvest we yield up to you, my lord. Our swords and spears and arrows are yours to command. Grant mercy to our weak, help to our helpless, and justice to all, and we shall never fail you."
“我們將灰水望的忠誠獻(xiàn)給臨冬城的主人，”他們同聲說道，“我們將爐火、心靈和收獲都奉獻(xiàn)與您，大人。我們的寶劍、長矛和弓箭聽從您的召喚。請(qǐng)您憐憫我們的困苦，幫助我們的窘迫，公正平等地對(duì)待每個(gè)人，而我們將永遠(yuǎn)追隨于您。”
"I swear it by earth and water," said the boy in green.
“我以大地和江河的名義起誓?！本G衣男孩道。
"I swear it by bronze and iron," his sister said.
“我以青銅和鋼鐵的名義起誓?！彼憬阏f。
"We swear it by ice and fire," they finished together.
“我們以冰與火的名義起誓。”他們齊聲完成。
Bran groped for words. Was he supposed to swear something back to them? Their oath was not one he had been taught. "May your winters be short and your summers bountiful," he said. That was usually a good thing to say. "Rise. I'm Brandon Stark."
布蘭想說點(diǎn)什么。我是不是也該對(duì)他們起誓？可他們這套誓詞從沒人教給他聽過呀。“愿汝之凜冬短暫，盛夏長駐，”最后他道，用了一句常用的祝詞?！罢?qǐng)起，我是布蘭登·史塔克?！?/div>
The girl, Meera, got to her feet and helped her brother up. The boy stared at Bran all the while. "We bring you gifts of fish and frog and fowl," he said.
女孩梅拉首先起立，并扶起弟弟。男孩則一直盯著布蘭。“我們給您帶來了禮物，有魚，青蛙和野禽，”他說。
