His skin cold and clammy, shivering in the darkness of his cell. Ghost would leap up beside him, his warmth as comforting as daybreak. He would go back to sleep with his face pressed into the direwolf s shaggy white fur. Do you dream of Horn Hill? Jon asked.
他醒来时总是浑身冷汗，独自在黑暗的卧室里发抖。这时白灵会跳到他身边，用如朝阳般温暖的身躯依偎他，然后他会把脸枕在冰原狼长长的白色毛皮上，再度沉沉睡去。你会梦见角陵吗？
No. Sam's mouth grew tight and hard. I hated it there. He scratched Ghost behind the ear, brooding, and Jon let the silence breathe. After a long while Samwell Tarly began to talk, and Jon Snow listened quietly, and learned how it was that a self-confessed coward found himself on the Wall.
不会。山姆抿紧嘴唇。我讨厌那里。他搔搔白灵耳背，陷入沉思，琼恩也没追问。又过了一阵子，山姆威尔·塔利终于开始说话，琼恩·雪诺则静静聆听，听这个自承懦弱的胆小鬼亲口述说来到绝境长城的的缘由。
The Tarlys were a family old in honor, bannermen to Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the South. The eldest son of Lord Randyll Tarly, Samwell was born heir to rich lands, a strong keep, and a storied two-handed greatsword named Heartsbane, forged of Valyrian steel and passed down from father to son near five hundred years.
塔利家族历史悠久，盛名远播，是高庭公爵兼南境守护梅斯·提利尔的封臣。山姆威尔乃是蓝道·塔利伯爵的嫡长子，生来就继承了富饶的领地、坚固的堡垒和一把传奇的双手巨剑。剑名碎心，是用瓦雷利亚钢打造而成，父子历代相传，已有近五百年之久。
Whatever pride his lord father might have felt at Samwell's birth vanished as the boy grew up plump, soft, and awkward. Sam loved to listen to music and make his own songs, to wear soft velvets, to play in the castle kitchen beside the cooks, drinking in the rich smells as he snitched lemon cakes and blueberry tarts.
然而不论山姆威尔诞生时，父亲对儿子有着何种的骄傲，都已经随着他的日渐长大、变得肥胖、柔弱又脾气古怪，而全部烟消云散。山姆喜欢听音乐，喜欢编曲子，喜欢穿柔软的天鹅绒，喜欢跟在城堡厨房的师傅身边、陶醉于他调制的柠檬蛋糕和蓝莓甜饼的浓郁香气里。
背景介绍:
《权力的游戏》是一部中世纪史诗奇幻题材的电视连续剧。该剧以美国作家乔治·R·R·马丁的奇幻巨作《冰与火之歌》七部曲为基础改编创作，由大卫·贝尼奥夫和丹尼尔·威斯编剧、HBO电视网推出。乔治·雷蒙德·理查德·马丁是欧美奇幻小说大师。马丁的作品主要以人物为关注点，描写细腻丰富，突破了幻想文学界固有的创作模式，多次引领阅读潮流。由于马丁的辉煌成就，他被誉为美国的托尔金和新世纪的海明威。从1989年开始，马丁淡出文学界，转而投身演艺界发展，1996年他才重返文坛而开始奇幻文学的创作，处女作便是《权力的游戏》，即为《冰与火之歌》的首部曲。《权力的游戏》甫出便拿下了British Fantasy Society、 世界奇幻奖和星云奖年度最佳幻想作品提名，在非官方的不记名奇幻作品投票中，《冰与火之歌》俨然已经可以和《魔戒》平起平坐，作者网站的访问量也是和斯蒂芬·金、J.K.罗琳等不相上下，其受欢迎的程度可见一斑。乔治马丁被时代杂志评选为2011年影响世界的一百人之一。
