冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第1080期:第五十一章 珊莎(7)

 　　When the time came to dress, she chose the green silk gown that she had worn to the tourney. 穿衣服时，她特地拣了那件绿丝礼服，正是比武大会当天穿的那件。

　　She recalled how gallant¹ Joff had been to her that night at the feast. 她记得那晚席间乔佛里对她有多殷勤，

　　Perhaps it would make him remember as well, and treat her more gently. 如果她穿上这件衣服，或许能让他联想起来，对她温柔一点。

　　She drank a glass of buttermilk and nibbled² at some sweet biscuits as she waited, to settle her stomach. 打扮完毕后，她坐下等待，喝了一杯酪乳，啃下几块甜饼干，暂时止住胃里的翻腾。

　　It was midday when Sir Meryn returned. 到马林爵士来找她时，已经日当正午。

　　He had donned his white armor; 他穿上了全套纯白甲胄：

　　a shirt of enameled³ scales chased with gold, a tall helm with a golden sunburst crest⁴, greaves and gorget and gauntlet and boots of gleaming plate, 精工金线白鳞甲，高顶黄金日芒盔，护膝、护喉、护手和长靴都是闪闪发光的铁铠，

　　a heavy wool cloak clasped with a golden lion. 还有一袭厚重的羊毛披风，装饰着黄金狮扣。

　　His visor had been removed from his helm, to better show his dour⁵ face; pouchy⁶ bags under his eyes, a wide sour mouth, rusty⁷ hair spotted⁸ with grey. 他的头盔除去了面罩，显露出冷峻的脸；两个大眼袋，一张宽阔而乖戾的嘴，铁锈般的头发里夹杂着几许灰白。

　　"My lady," he said, bowing, as if he had not beaten her bloody⁹ only three hours past. “小姐，”他鞠躬道，仿佛不记得自己三小时前把她打得满脸是血。

　　"His Grace has instructed me to escort you to the throne room." “陛下吩咐我护送您上朝。”

　　Did he instruct you to hit me if I refused to come? “如果我拒绝，他有没有吩咐你打我啊？”

　　Are you refusing to come, my lady? “小姐，您这是在拒绝么？”

　　The look he gave her was without expression. He did not so much as glance at the bruise¹⁰ he had left her. 他看她的眼神毫无感情，对他稍早造成的淤伤无动于衷。

　　He did not hate her, Sansa realized; neither did he love her. 珊莎突然明白，他并不恨她，也不爱她，他对她根本一点感觉也没有。

　　He felt nothing for her at all. She was only a... a thing to him. 对他来说，她不过是个……东西。
