第四章艾德
[00:00:01]The visitors poured through the castle gates in a river of gold and silver and polished steel,
来访的队伍如同一条由金、银和钢铁交融而成的璀璨河流，浩浩荡荡涌进城堡大门。
[00:10:45]three hundred strong, a pride of bannermen and knights, of sworn swords and freeriders.
他们为数一共三百，由让人引以为傲的家臣、骑士和流浪武士所组成。
[00:17:36]Over their heads a dozen golden banners whipped back and forth in the northern wind, emblazoned with the crowned stag of Baratheon.
冰冷的北风拍打著他们头顶高举的十数面金色旗帜，上头绣了象徵拜拉锡安家族的宝冠雄鹿。
[00:24:13]Ned knew many of the riders.
队伍中有不少奈德熟悉的面孔。
[00:27:26]There came Ser Jaime Lannister with hair as bright as beaten gold, and there Sandor Clegane with his terrible burned face.
一头亮眼金发的是詹姆·兰尼斯特爵士，以及脸曾被烧伤的桑铎·克里冈。
[00:36:52]The tall boy beside him could only be the crown prince, and that stunted little man behind them was surely the Imp, Tyrion Lannister.
他身旁的高大男孩一定是王储，而他们身後的那个畸形矮子则毫无疑问是「小恶魔」提利昂·兰尼斯特了。
[00:45:58]Yet the huge man at the head of the column, flanked by two knights in the snow-white cloaks of the Kingsguard,
然而那个走在队列前头，两名雪白披风御林铁卫随侍左右的人，
[00:52:37]seemed almost a stranger to Ned. until he vaulted off the back of his warhorse with a familiar roar,
在奈德眼里竟像个陌生人。一亘到对方翻身跳下战马，发出熟悉的大声呐喊，
[00:58:58]and crushed him in a bone-crunching hug. “Ned! Ah, but it is good to see that frozen face of yours.”
然後一把抱住他，差点把他全身骨头拆散，他才认出来者是谁。"奈德!啊，见到你更好，尤其是看到你那张冻得发紫的脸。"
[01:06:53]The king looked him over top to bottom, and laughed. “You have not changed at all.”
国王仔细地上下打量他一番，然後朗声笑道：「你真是一点都没变。」
[01:14:04]Would that Ned had been able to say the same. Fifteen years past, when they had ridden forth to win a throne,
要是奈德也能对他说同样的话就好了。十五年前，当他们并肩为王位奋战的时候，
[01:21:48]the Lord of Storm’s End had been clean-shaven, clear-eyed, and muscled like a maiden’s fantasy.
这位风息堡公爵是个面容修整干净，眼神清澄，如同怀春少女梦寐以求的精壮男子。
[01:28:56]Six and a half feet tall, he towered over lesser men,
他身高六尺五寸，有如巍然巨塔般鹤立鸡群。
[01:32:13]and when he donned his armor and the great antlered helmet of his House,
当他身披战甲，头戴双叉鹿角巨盔，
[01:37:05]he became a veritable giant. He’d had a giant’s strength too,
则成了个名副其实的巨人。他的力气也不输巨人，
[01:41:19]his weapon of choice a spiked iron warhammer that Ned could scarcely lift.
惯用的那柄铁刺战锤连奈德都只能勉强举起。
[01:47:08]In those days, the smell of leather and blood had clung to him like perfume.
在那些个日子里，皮革和血的气味就像香水般和他如影随形。
