Tell me where they went, Bran said. "I want to know."
“跟我说嘛，他们到哪里去了？”布兰说，“我想知道。”
Me too, Rickon echoed.
“我也是。”瑞肯应和。
Oh, very well, Luwin muttered. "So long as the kingdoms of the First Men held sway, the Pact endured, all through the Age of Heroes and the Long Night and the birth of the Seven Kingdoms, yet finally there came a time, many centuries later, when other peoples crossed the narrow sea.
“唉，好罢。”鲁温喃喃道，“只要先民的国度还在，‘盟誓’便仍有效力，经过英雄之纪元、长夜和七大王国的诞生，许多个世纪之后，其他的民族也终于渡海而来。”
The Andals were the first, a race of tall, fair-haired warriors who came with steel and fire and the seven-pointed star of the new gods painted on their chests. The wars lasted hundreds of years, but in the end the six southron kingdoms all fell before them.

“最先来到的是高大金发的安达尔战士。约从千年前，他们带着精钢打造的武器，胸膛画了象征新神的七芒星，渡海杀来。先民和他们的战争持续了数百年，六个南方王国一个接一个落入他们手中。只有在这里，冬境之王击败了所有试图穿越颈泽的军队；也只有在这里，先民依旧占有一席之地。安达尔人烧毁了所有的鱼梁木丛林，砍倒人面树，一遇森林之子便肆意捕杀，所到之处均大力倡导七神信仰，贬抑远古诸神。于是森林之子纷纷向北逃亡——”
Summer began to howl.
夏天仰天长嚎。
Maester Luwin broke off, startled. When Shaggydog bounded to his feet and added his voice to his brother's, dread clutched at Bran's heart.
鲁温师傅吓了一跳，停住讲话。毛毛狗随即跳起来，加入兄弟的长吼，布兰心中充满恐惧。
