The undergrowth parted, low-hanging branches giving up their accumulation of snow, and Grey Wind and Summer emerged from the green. Summer sniffed the air and growled. 矮树丛低垂的枝桠洒下覆盖的雪，向两旁分开，灰风和夏天自一片绿色中穿出。夏天嗅嗅风中的气息，出声低吼。

　　Wolves, gasped Hali. 狼来了。哈莉噤声道。

　　Direwolves, Bran said. Still half-grown, they were as large as any wolf he had ever seen, but the differences were easy to spot, if you knew what to look for.  是冰原狼。布兰说。虽然并未发育完全，他们的体格也只有一般狼大小，但若仔细观察，很容易分辨出差异所在。

　　Maester Luwin and Farlen the kennelmaster had taught him.  鲁温师傅和驯兽长法兰教过他：

　　A direwolf had a bigger head and longer legs in proportion to its body, and its snout and jaw were markedly leaner and more pronounced.  冰原狼的头比较大，四肢较长，鼻子和下巴则特别尖细、形状明显。

　　There was something gaunt and terrible about them as they stood there amid the gently falling snow. Fresh blood spotted Grey Wind's muzzle. 站在轻飘的细雪里，他们怀着憔悴而骇人的神态。灰风的口鼻沾满鲜血。

　　Dogs, the big bald man said contemptuously. Yet I'm told there's nothing like a wolfskin cloak to warm a man by night. He made a sharp gesture. Take them. 两只臭狗。光头男子轻蔑地说，我倒是知道，夜里没什么比狼皮斗篷更保暖。他猛地做了个手势。拿下！

　　Robb shouted, Winterfell! and kicked his horse. The gelding plunged down the bank as the ragged men closed.  罗柏高喊：临冬城万岁！然后踢马向前。公马跳进溪里，衣衫褴褛的敌人围了过去。

　　A man with an axe rushed in, shouting and heedless. Robb's sword caught him full in the face with a sickening crunch and a spray of bright blood.  有个人拿着斧头，没头没脑地大叫着朝他冲来。罗柏的长剑正中对方面门，发出令人作呕的碎裂声，随即鲜血四溅。

　　The man with the gaunt stubbly face made a grab for the reins, and for half a second he had them...and then Grey Wind was on him, bearing him down.  一脸胡碴的人伸手去扯缰绳，才抓住半秒…只见灰风一跃而起把他扑倒。

　　He fell back into the stream with a splash and a shout, flailing wildly with his knife as his head went under.  他噗通一声跌进溪里，呐喊着，疯狂地挥舞着短刀，头部被水淹没。

　　The direwolf plunged in after him, and the white water turned red where they had vanished. 冰原狼跳上去继续攻击，两人消失在水中，转眼之间，白色的河水便转为殷红。
