Finally they called for a litter and carried him off to his tent, dazed and unmoving. Sansa never saw it. Her eyes were only for Ser Loras. When the white horse stopped in front of her, she thought her heart would burst.
后来定是有人叫了担架,把头晕眼花、动弹不得的罗拔抬回营帐,然而珊莎根本没看到,她的视线全聚集在洛拉斯爵士身上。当他的白马停在她面前时,她只觉自己的心房都快要炸开。
To the other maidens he had given white roses, but the one he plucked for her was red. Sweet lady, he said, no victory is half so beautiful as you. Sansa took the flower timidly, struck dumb by his gallantry. His hair was a mass of lazy brown curls, his eyes like liquid gold. She inhaled the sweet fragrance of the rose and sat clutching it long after Ser Loras had ridden off.
他给了其他女孩白玫瑰,摘给她的却是朵红玫瑰。亲爱的小姐,他说,再伟大的胜利也不及你一半美丽。珊莎羞怯地接过花,整个人被他的英姿所震慑。他的头发是一丛慵懒的棕色鬈发,眼睛像是融化的黄金。她深吸玫瑰甜美的香气,直到洛拉斯爵士策马离开还紧握不放。
When Sansa finally looked up, a man was standing over her, staring. He was short, with a pointed beard and a silver streak in his hair, almost as old as her father. You must be one of her daughters, he said to her. He had grey-green eyes that did not smile when his mouth did. You have the Tully look.
当她再度抬头,却见一名男子正在她前面盯着她看。他个子很矮,一撮尖胡子,发际有几丝银白,年纪和父亲差不多。你一定是她的女儿。他对她说,嘴角虽然泛起笑意,那双灰绿色的眼睛却没有笑。你有徒利家的容貌。
I'm Sansa Stark, she said, ill at ease. The man wore a heavy cloak with a fur collar, fastened with a silver mockingbird, and he had the effortless manner of a high lord, but she did not know him. I have not had the honor, my lord.
我是珊莎·史塔克,她不安地说。那名男子穿着绒毛领口的厚重斗篷,用一只银色仿声鸟系住,他有着自然典雅的贵族气质,但她却不认得他。大人,我还没有认识您的荣幸。
Septa Mordane quickly took a hand. Sweet child, this is Lord Petyr Baelish, of the king's small council.
茉丹修女连忙来解围。好孩子,这是培提尔·贝里席伯爵,御前会议的重臣。
Your mother was my queen of beauty once, the man said quietly. His breath smelled of mint. You have her hair. His fingers brushed against her cheek as he stroked one auburn lock. Quite abruptly he turned and walked away.
令堂曾是我心目中爱与美的皇后。男子轻声说。他的呼气有薄荷的味道。你遗传了她的头发。他伸手抚弄她的一撮红褐发束,指尖拂过她的脸颊。突然他转过身走开去了。
