Her eyes found him. They were full of poison. I need none of your absolution, bastard. 她的视线找到了他，眼神充满怨毒。"用不着你这没娘的野种可怜我。"

　　He was at the door when she called out to him. Jon, she said.  当他走到门边时，她开口唤他。"琼恩，"她说。

　　Yes? he said. "什么？"他问。

　　It should have been you, she told him.  "今天躺在这里的应该是你才对。"她告诉他。

　　Then she turned back to Bran and began to weep, her whole body shaking with the sobs.  说完她转身朝向布兰，痛哭流涕，全身上下都随之而猛烈抽搐。

　　Robb was in the middle of it, shouting commands with the best of them.  罗柏置身旋涡中心，镇定自若地发号施令。

　　He seemed to have grown of late, as if Bran’s fall and his mother’s collapse had somehow made him stronger. Grey Wind was at his side. 这些日子以来，他似乎突然成熟了许多，似乎布兰的意外和母亲濒临崩溃逼使他不得不坚强起来。灰风随侍在他身旁。
