听力原文

It did not make the pain any easier to bear. She would lose all four of them, then: Ned, and both girls, and her sweet, loving Bran. Only Robb and little Rickon would be left to her. She felt lonely already. Winterfell was such a vast place. “Keep him off the walls, then,” she said bravely. “You know how Bran loves to climb.”

但她的痛苦却并未因此而稍减。眼看着她就要失去他们全部:奈德、两个女儿,还有她最疼惜的心肝宝贝布兰,只剩下罗柏和瑞肯。此刻的她已感寂寞,临冬城毕竟是个很大的地方啊。"那就别让他靠墙太近,"她勇敢地说,"你知道布兰最爱爬上爬下。"

Ned kissed the tears from her eyes before they could fall. “Thank you, my lady,” he whispered. “This is hard, I know.”

奈德轻吻了她眼里还未掉下的泪滴。"谢谢你,我亲爱的夫人,"他悄声道,"我知道这很痛苦。"

“What of Jon Snow, my lord?” Maester Luwin asked.

"老爷,琼恩·雪诺该怎么办?"鲁温学士问。

Catelyn tensed at the mention of the name. Ned felt the anger in her, and pulled away.

一听这名字,凯特琳立刻全身僵硬。奈德察觉到她的怒意,便抽身放开她。

Many men fathered bastards. Catelyn had grown up with that knowledge. It came as no surprise to her, in the first year of her marriage, to learn that Ned had fathered a child on some girl chance met on campaign. He had a man’s needs, after all, and they had spent that year apart, Ned off at war in the south while she remained safe in her father’s castle at Riverrun. Her thoughts were more of Robb, the infant at her breast, than of the husband she scarcely knew. He was welcome to whatever solace he might find between battles. And if his seed quickened, she expected he would see to the child’s needs.

凯特琳打小就知道,贵族男子在外偷生私生子是常有的事,因此她在新婚不久,得知奈德在作战途中与农家少女生了个私生子时,丝毫不感意外。再怎么说,奈德有他男人的需求,而他征战的那一年,只和她婚后团聚数日便匆匆南下,留她安然地待在后方父亲的奔流城,两人分隔两地。那时她的心思都放在襁褓中的罗柏身上,甚少念及她几乎不认识的丈夫。他在戎马倥偬间,自然不免寻求慰藉。而一旦他留下了种,她也希望他至少能让那孩子衣食无虞。
