　　Make way! someone shouted from the cross street. "Make way for my lords of Redwyne!" “速速回避！”十字街口有人高喊，“雷德温大人驾到！速速回避！”

　　Sansa and Jeyne Poole used to call them Sir Horror and Sir Slobber, and giggle⁸ whenever they caught sight of them. 珊莎和珍妮·普尔以前常背地里叫他们“恐怖爵士”和“流口水”爵士，一见到他们，就咯咯直笑。

　　They did not look funny now. 但他们现在的模样可一点都不好笑。

　　Everyone was moving in the same direction, all in a hurry to see what the ringing was all about. 每个人都朝着同一方向前进，急着想弄清敲钟的缘故。

　　The bells seemed louder now, clanging, calling. 钟声似乎越来越大，叮当做响，不停呼唤。

　　Arya joined the stream of people. Her thumb hurt so bad where the nail had broken that it was all she could do not to cry. 艾莉亚加入人潮，断指甲痛得不得了，她拼命忍住才没尖叫出声。
