珊莎
Come to the godswood tonight, if you want to go home.
“如果你想回家,今晚请到神木林。”
The words were the same on the hundredth reading as they'd been on the first, when Sansa had discovered the folded sheet of parchment beneath her pillow. She did not know how it had gotten there or who had sent it. The note was unsigned, unsealed, and the hand unfamiliar. She crushed the parchment to her chest and whispered the words to herself. "Come to the godswood tonight, if you want to go home," she breathed, ever so faintly.
不论看了多少次,这两句话依旧与初看时无异。珊莎在枕头下发现了这张卷好的羊皮纸,却不知信是怎么来的,亦不知由谁送来。信上没有署名,没有封蜡,笔迹也很陌生。她把信纸帖在前胸,轻声自言自语:“如果你想回家,今晚请到神木林。”
What could it mean? Should she take it to the queen to prove that she was being good? Nervously, she rubbed her stomach. The angry purple bruise Ser Meryn had given her had faded to an ugly yellow, but still hurt. His fist had been mailed when he hit her. It was her own fault. She must learn to hide her feelings better, so as not to anger Joffrey. When she heard that the imp had sent Lord Slynt to the Wall, she had forgotten herself and said, "I hope the Others get him." The king had not been pleased.
这究竟代表了什么?她该不该把信交给太后,藉此证明自己乖巧听话?她不安地揉揉肚子,马林爵士用铁拳揍她所留下的深紫瘀伤,如今只剩一片丑陋晕黄,但疼痛依旧。说来都是自作自受,她得学会更小心地隐藏自己的情绪,以免激怒乔佛里。先前当她听说史林特伯爵被小恶魔发配长城,脱口便道:“希望他被异鬼抓去!”国王听了大为不满。
Come to the godswood tonight, if you want to go home.
“如果你想回家,今晚请到神木林。”
Sansa had prayed so hard. Could this be her answer at last, a true knight sent to save her? Perhaps it was one of the Redwyne twins, or bold Ser Balon Swann... or even Beric Dondarrion, the young lord her friend Jeyne Poole had loved, with his red-gold hair and the spray of stars on his black cloak.
一直以来,珊莎是多么努力地祈祷啊,这会不会是上天给她的回应?难道诸神终于派出真正的骑士来拯救她了吗?说不定是雷德温家的双胞胎之一,或是英勇的巴隆·史文爵士……甚至是她好朋友珍妮·普尔以前疯狂迷恋的贝里·唐德利恩,那个红金头发,黑披风上缀满星星的年轻伯爵。
