　　"Send Arya away, she started it, Father, I swear it. “把艾莉亚送走就好，是她先动手的，父亲，我发誓。

　　I'll be good, you'll see, just let me stay and I promise to be as fine and noble and courteous² as the queen." 我会当个乖女儿，真的，只要你让我留下来，我保证我会像王后一样举止高贵又有礼貌。”

　　Father's mouth twitched³ strangely.  父亲的嘴角怪异地牵动了一下。

　　"Sansa, I'm not sending you away for fighting, though the gods know I'm sick of you two squabbling. “珊莎，我不是因为你们吵架才送你们走，虽然我实在也受够了你们成天拌嘴。

　　I want you back in Winterfell for your own safety.  我是考虑到你们的安危才希望你们回临冬城。

　　Three of my men were cut down like dogs not a league from where we sit, and what does Robert do? He goes hunting." 我的三名部下在离此不到三里的地方被人像杀狗似地砍倒，结果劳勃怎么做？他跑去打猎！”

　　Arya was chewing at her lip in that disgusting way she had. 艾莉亚正用她那种恶心的方式噘着嘴唇。

　　"Can we take Syrio back with us?" “我们可以带西利欧一起走吗？”

　　Who cares about your stupid dancing master? “谁理你的笨舞蹈老师啊？”

　　Sansa flared⁴. "Father, I only just now remembered, I can't go away, I'm to marry Prince Joffrey."  珊莎怒道，“父亲，我才刚想起来，我不能走啊，我是要嫁给乔佛里王子的。”
