冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第32期:第二章 凯特琳 (7)

 　　That is some small mercy, I suppose, he said. She could see the grief¹ on his face, 我想这也算是最後的一点慈悲了。他说道，她看见了他脸上的悲伤，

　　but even then he thought first of her. Your sister, he said. And Jon's boy. What word of them? 但他先想到的还是她。你妹妹，他问道：还有琼恩的儿子，有他们的消息麽？

　　The message said only that they were well, and had returned to the Eyrie, Catelyn said. 信上只说他们安然无恙，而且已经返回鹰巢城了。凯特琳说道：

　　I wish they had gone to Riverrun instead. The Eyrie is high and lonely, and it was ever her husband's place, not hers. 我真希望他们回的是奔流城。鹰巢城高耸孤绝，而且一直都是她丈夫的地盘，而非她的归宿。

　　Lord Jon's memory will haunt² each stone. I know my sister. She needs the comfort of family and friends around her. 琼恩大人的回忆肯定会萦绕鹰巢城里的每一块砖石。我很了解妹妹，她需要的是家人和朋友的支持和陪伴。

　　Your uncle waits in the Vale, does he not? Jon named him Knight³ of the Gate, I'd heard. 你的叔叔不是正在艾林谷等著她麽？我听说琼恩任命他做了血门骑士。

　　Catelyn nodded. Brynden will do what he can for her, and for the boy. That is some comfort, but still 凯特琳点点头，布林登当然会尽他所能照顾她和她儿子，可是……

　　Go to her, Ned urged. Take the children. Fill her halls with noise and shouts and laughter. 那麽你去陪她罢，奈德劝促道：把孩子也一起带去，让她的居所充满欢笑和喧闹。

　　That boy of hers needs other children about him, and Lysa should not be alone in her grief. 那孩子需要其他同侪的陪伴，你妹妹更不应独自哀悼。

　　Would that I could, Catelyn said. The letter had other tidings. The king is riding to Winterfell to seek you out. 如果我能去就好了。凯特琳说道：信上还说到别的事，国王正在往临冬城的路上，他要找你共商国事。

　　It took Ned a moment to comprehend⁴ her words, but when the understanding came, the darkness left his eyes. 奈德好一会才理解她话中的意思，但是当他恍然大悟时，眼中阴霾顿时一扫而空。

　　Robert is coming here? When she nodded, a smile broke across his face. 劳勃要来？她点点头，他脸上随即绽开一抹微笑。
