他也因此挖掘出临冬城许多不为人知的秘密,比如当初建筑工人并没有把城堡附近的地势铲平,
[00:06:13]there were hills and valleys behind the walls of Winterfell.
所以城墙外面不但有起伏丘陵,还有溪涧峡谷。
[00:08:54]There was a covered bridge that went from the fourth floor of the bell tower across to the second floor of the rookery.
布兰知道一座密闭的桥道,可以从钟塔的四楼直接通鸦巢的二层。
[00:16:19]Bran knew about that. And he knew you could get inside the inner wall by the south gate,
他还知道如何从南门进入内城墙里边,
[00:22:21]climb three floors and run all the way around Winterfell through a narrow tunnel in the stone,
顺着门梯爬三层,便能找到一条狭窄的石砌甬道,它可以绕行临冬城,
[00:29:09]and then come out on ground level at the north gate, with a hundred feet of wall looming over you.
最后抵达位于百尺高墙阴影下的北门底层。
[00:36:13]Even Maester Luwin didn’t know that, Bran was convinced.
布兰相信就连鲁温师傅也不知道这条捷径。
[00:39:25]His mother was terrified that one day Bran would slip off a wall and kill himself.
母亲一直很害怕布兰哪天会不小心滑下来,失足摔死。
[00:46:22]He told her that he wouldn’t, but she never believed him.
任他再三保证,她却怎么也不肯相信。
[00:49:59]Once she made him promise that he would stay on the ground.
有次她强迫他发誓不再往高处爬,
[00:53:27]He had managed to keep that promise for almost a fortnight, miserable every day,
结果这个诺言只勉强维持了两个星期,他每天都痛苦无比,
[00:58:35]until one night he had gone out the window of his bedroom when his brothers were fast asleep.
最后有一天夜里,趁他兄弟熟睡的时候,他还是爬出了卧房窗户。
[01:03:25]He confessed his crime the next day in a fit of guilt. Lord Eddard ordered him to the godswood to cleanse himself.
翌日他满怀罪恶感地自行招认,艾德公爵叫他独自去神木林忏悔,
[01:12:26]Guards were posted to see that Bran remained there alone all night to reflect on his disobedience.
还派了守卫监视,以确保他整晚都在林子里反省他不听话的行为。
[01:19:46]The next morning Bran was nowhere to be seen. They finally found him fast asleep in the upper branches of the tallest sentinel in the grove.
没想到第二天清晨,布兰却不见踪影,最后众人是在林间最高的一棵哨兵树的上层枝干找到睡得正香甜的他。
