Many a year I worked in old Sir Willum’s stables, so I knows the difference.
我在维伦老爵士的马房里做过很多年，看得出其中差异。
Not a one of these ever pulled a plow, gods bear witness if I’m wrong."
他们骑的马没有一匹是犁过田的，我敢以天上诸神之名发誓。”
"Well-mounted brigands," observed Littlefinger.

The brewer, Joss, shook his head.
酿酒师傅乔斯摇摇头。
"It grieves me, m’lord, but no, the armor they showed us was plain, only...
“大人，有的话那敢情好，可他们穿的盔甲样式都很普通，只有……
the one who led them, he was armored like the rest, but there was no mistaking him all the same.
只有那领头的，他虽然穿得和其他人一样，可您绝不会把他和别人弄混。
It was the size of him, m’lord. Those as say the giants are all dead never saw this one, I swear.
大人，这家伙块头可真大，俺敢打赌，那些断言巨人已死的人没见过这家伙。
Big as an ox he was, and a voice like stone breaking."
他块头大得跟头牛似的，讲起话来声音响得像山石迸裂。”
"The Mountain!" Sir Marq said loudly.
“一定是‘魔山’！”马柯爵士大声说，
