"Now, that is the question. How many wildlings are there? How many men of fighting age?
“是啊，這正是關(guān)鍵所在。那里‘究竟’有多少野人？其中又有多少能操起武器作戰(zhàn)？
No one knows with certainty. The Frostfangs are cruel, inhospitable, a wilderness of stone and ice.
沒有人說得清。霜雪之牙是一片嚴酷、冷漠、荒涼的冰山，
They will not long sustain any great number of people. I can see only one purpose in this gathering.
無法供養(yǎng)大批人群長期停留。照我分析，曼斯·雷德只有一個目的，
Mance Rayder means to strike south, into the Seven Kingdoms."
南下長城，掃蕩七大王國。”
"Wildlings have invaded the realm before."
“從前，野人也曾大舉入侵，”
Jon had heard the tales from Old Nan and Maester Luwin both, back at Winterfell.
在臨冬城時，這些故事瓊恩都聽老奶媽和魯溫師傅講過，
"Raymun Redbeard led them south in the time of my grandfather's grandfather, and before him there was a king named Bael the Bard."
“在我祖父的祖父的時代，‘紅胡子’雷蒙率領(lǐng)他們南下，再往前，‘吟游詩人’貝爾也曾兵臨城下。”
"Aye, and long before them came the Horned Lord and the brother kings Gendel and Gorne,“不錯，比他們更早，有‘長角王’，‘兄弟王’詹德爾和戈尼，
and in ancient days Joramun, who blew the Horn of Winter and woke giants from the earth.
在遠古，還有吹響冬之號角、從地底喚醒巨人的喬曼，
Each man of them broke his strength on the Wall, or was broken by the power of Winterfell on the far side...
他們都做過同樣的嘗試，但每次不是在長城下一敗涂地，就是被臨冬城的援軍奮力殺退……
but the Night's Watch is only a shadow of what we were, and who remains to oppose the wildlings besides us?
但如今，且不論守夜人軍團的實力只有夕日的一鱗半爪，又有誰會與我們并肩作戰(zhàn)、對抗野人呢？
The Lord of Winterfell is dead, and his heir has marched his strength south to fight the Lannisters.
臨冬城主已經(jīng)喪命，他的繼承人帶著所有軍隊南下與蘭尼斯特交兵。
The wildlings may never again have such a chance as this. I knew Mance Rayder, Jon. He is an oathbreaker, yes...
對野人們而言，這是千載難逢的大好機會。瓊恩，我很了解曼斯．雷德，不錯，他背棄了誓言……
but he has eyes to see, and no man has ever dared to name him faintheart."
但他為人一向目光敏銳，行事果斷，是個千里挑一的人才。”
"What will we do?" asked Jon.
“我們該怎么辦？”瓊恩問。
"Find him," said Mormont. "Fight him. Stop him."
“找到他，”莫爾蒙道，“了結(jié)他，阻止他。”
Three hundred, thought Jon, against the fury of the wild. His fingers opened and closed.
憑這區(qū)區(qū)三百人，瓊恩心想，前去對抗整個北野洪荒的憤怒。他的五指開開合合。
