　　She was the eighth Lady Frey. 她是第八任佛雷夫人。

　　"It is a great pleasure to see you again after so many years, my lord," Catelyn said. “大人，多年不见，今日重逢，真是倍感喜悦。”凯特琳道。

　　The old man squinted at her suspiciously. 老人满腹狐疑地眯眼盯着她。

　　"Is it? I doubt that. “是么？我倒很怀疑。

　　Spare me your sweet words, Lady Catelyn, I am too old. 凯特琳夫人，我年纪大了，你就省省这些甜言蜜语吧。

　　Why are you here? 为什么是你在这里？

　　What am I to do with you?" 我又该拿你怎么办呢？”

　　I'll hear no instructions from you." 我用不着听你说教。”

　　"Now my bastards presume to teach me courtesy," Lord Walder complained. “这会儿连我的私生子都教训起我来啦？”瓦德侯爵抱怨，

　　"I'll speak any way I like, damn you. “你们都该死，我爱说什么便说什么。
