冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第215期:第十七章 布兰(4)

 　　He saw Hodor, the simple giant from the stables, carrying an anvil¹ to Mikken's forge, hefting it onto his shoulder as easily as another man might heft a bale of hay.  他看见在马房里工作的那个头脑简单的巨人阿多，轻而易举地把铁砧扛在肩上，仿佛常人举起稻束，送往铁匠密肯的锻炉。

　　At the heart of the godswood, the great white weirwood brooded over its reflection in the black pool, its leaves rustling² in a chill wind.  在神木林的深处，高大苍白的鱼梁木正对着黑水潭里的倒影沉思，树叶在冷风中作响。

　　When it felt Bran watching, it lifted its eyes from the still waters and stared back at him knowingly. 当它发觉布兰看着自己，它也自止水里抬起视线，定定地回望他。

　　He looked east, and saw a galley³ racing⁴ across the waters of the Bite.  向东望，他看到一艘帆船乘风破浪，穿越咬人湾。

　　He saw his mother sitting alone in a cabin, looking at a bloodstained knife on a table in front of her,  他看见母亲独坐船舱，盯着面前桌上一把沾满血渍的尖刀。

　　as the rowers pulled at their oars⁵ and Ser Rodrik leaned across a rail, shaking and heaving.  水手使劲划桨，罗德利克爵士靠着桅栏颤抖喘息。

　　A storm was gathering⁶ ahead of them, a vast dark roaring lashed⁷ by lightning, but somehow they could not see it. 一阵暴风正在他们前方形成，一团怒吼的翻滚乌云，充满无边的雷霆电闪，但不知怎么的，他们却看不到。

　　He looked south, and saw the great blue-green rush of the Trident. He saw his father pleading with the king, his face etched with grief.  他又向南望，只见三叉戟河的蓝绿河水奔涌浩荡，他看到父亲脸上刻满哀伤，正向国王苦苦哀求；

　　He saw Sansa crying herself to sleep at night, and he saw Arya watching in silence and holding her secrets hard in her heart.  看到大姐珊莎夜里哭着入眠；看到二姐艾莉亚静静地观望，把秘密藏在心中。

　　There were shadows all around them. One shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound.  他们全被黑影所笼罩，其中一个暗影黑如灰烬，还有张猎犬般恐怖的脸，

　　Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful.  另一个则全身耀眼金甲，美丽宛如阳光。

　　Over them both loomed⁸ a giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood. 他们之后站着一个身穿石甲的巨人，更为高壮，当他揭开面罩，里面空空如也，惟有无尽的幽暗和浓浓的黑血。
