　　"You told him that you told me." “你跟他说你告诉我了。”

　　I... he... Jon, I didn't want to... he asked... I mean I think he knew, he sees things no one else sees ...  “我……他……琼恩，我不是故意的……是他问的……我的意思是说……我觉得他根本就知道，他看得见别人看不到的东西。”

　　The maester nodded. 学士点点头。

　　"I did indeed. Clydas, give Jon the bucket. Perhaps he will be kind enough to assist me." “是我的意思。克莱达斯，请把桶子交给琼恩，或许他愿意好心地帮我个忙。”

　　The hunched⁶, pink-eyed brother handed Jon the bucket and scurried⁷ down the ladder. 驼背红眼的弟兄将桶子递给琼恩，随后赶忙爬下梯子。
