"That were no proper unhorsing," complained a drunken archer nearby, a Tyrell rose sewn on his jerkin. "A vile trick, pulling the lad down."
“那不是正当的击落下马，”凯特琳身边一位喝醉的弓箭手抱怨，这人上衣缝着提利尔的玫瑰。“只是下流的诡计，把我们的少爷撞下马来。”
The press had begun to open up. "Ser Colen," Catelyn said to her escort, "who is this man, and why do they mislike him so?"
人潮逐渐疏散。“科棱爵士，”凯特琳对护送她的人说，“这奇男子叫什么名字？为什么人们这么讨厌他？”
Ser Colen frowned. "Because he is no man, my lady. That's Brienne of Tarth, daughter to Lord Selwyn the Evenstar."
科棱爵士皱紧眉头。“她根本不是男子，夫人。那是塔斯家族的布蕾妮，”暮之星“塞尔温伯爵的女儿。”
"Daughter?" Catelyn was horrified.
“女儿？”凯特琳惊骇莫名。
"Brienne the Beauty, they name her... though not to her face, lest they be called upon to defend those words with their bodies."
“美人布蕾妮，他们这样称呼她……不过谁都不敢当她面说，否则就得作好决斗的准备啰。”
She heard King Renly declare the Lady Brienne of Tarth the victor of the great melee at Bitterbridge, last mounted of one hundred sixteen knights. "As champion, you may ask of me any boon that you desire. If it lies in my power, it is yours."
这时，蓝礼国王宣布：塔斯家族的小姐布蕾妮是苦桥团体比武大会的优胜，一百一十六位骑士中的佼佼者。“作为冠军，你可以向我要求任何你想得到的东西。只要我能力所及，就将其赐予与你。”
"Your Grace," Brienne answered, "I ask the honor of a place among your Rainbow Guard. I would be one of your seven, and pledge my life to yours, to go where you go, ride at your side, and keep you safe from all hurt and harm."
“陛下，”布蕾妮应道，“我向您请求彩虹护卫的荣誉职位。我请求成为您的七卫之一，为您献出我的生命，跟随您到天涯海角，时时刻刻不离左右，保护您免遭一切危难。”
"Done," he said. "Rise, and remove your helm."
“我同意，”他说，“请起，摘下头盔。”
