Why don’t you go back to Stoney Sept and ring that girl’s stupid bells?”
你干嗎不回石堂鎮(zhèn)，讓那個女孩子敲響你的笨鐘呢？”
Gendry ignored that.

Some smelly drunk, I’d wager, like the others my mother dragged home from the alehouse.

每次她生我氣時都會說：
‘If your father was here, he’d beat you bloody.’
‘若你父親在，就會狠狠揍你。’
That’s all I know of him.”
關(guān)于他我只知道這些。”
He spat.
他啐了一口。
“Well, if he was here now, might be I’d beat him bloody.
“嗯，如果他現(xiàn)在過來，也許我會狠狠揍他。
But he’s dead, I figure, and your father’s dead too, so what does it matter who he lay with?”

“多恩人愛說謊，對不對？”
“They’re famous for it.”
“他們以此聞名天下。”
The bowman grinned.

Arya left the trail, leapt a rotten log and splashed across a streambed, ignoring the shouts of the outlaws behind her.

When Ned met this Dornish lady, his brother Brandon was still alive, and it was him betrothed to Lady Catelyn,
你父親艾德大人與這位多恩的小姐相遇時，他哥哥布蘭登仍在世，并跟凱特琳女士訂了婚，
so there’s no stain on your father’s honor.

There’s nought like a tourney to make the blood run hot, so maybe some words were whispered in a tent of a night, who can say?

The village was just where Notch had promised it would be.
