The noise receded as she moved deeper into the castle, never daring to look back for fear that Joffrey might be watching... or worse, following. The serpentine steps twisted ahead, striped by bars of flickering light from the narrow windows above. Sansa was panting by the time she reached the top. She ran down a shadowy colonnade and pressed herself against a wall to catch her breath. When something brushed against her leg, she almost jumped out of her skin, but it was only a cat, a ragged black tom with a chewed-off ear. The creature spit at her and leapt away.
她越往城堡深处去，嘈杂声便越小。但她始终不敢回头，惟恐乔佛里正盯着自己……甚至尾随在后。盘旋的楼梯就在前方，其上窄窗溢出的光线在地面印落一条条明灭不定的光纹。走到楼梯顶端，珊莎已经气喘吁吁了。她跑过一条阴影幢幢的柱廊，贴在一面墙上稍事休息。有东西从脚边擦过，把她吓得魂飞魄散。幸好那只是少了个耳朵，全身凌乱肮脏的黑公猫，它朝她吐口口水，跳了开去。

By the time she reached the godswood, the noises had faded to a faint rattle of steel and a distant shouting. Sansa pulled her cloak tighter. The air was rich with the smells of earth and leaf. Lady would have liked this place, she thought. There was something wild about a godswood; even here, in the heart of the castle at the heart of the city, you could feel the old gods watching with a thousand unseen eyes.
抵达神木林时，耳边的音响褪变为微弱的金属碰撞和遥远的喊叫。珊莎拉紧斗篷，空气中充溢着泥土和树叶的味道。淑女一定会喜欢上这里，她心想。神木林有种原始的感觉，即便在这里，在都市中心的坚堡深处，你依旧可以感到古老诸神正用几千只看不见的眼睛凝视着你。
Sansa had favored her mother's gods over her father's. She loved the statues, the pictures in leaded glass, the fragrance of burning incense, the septons with their robes and crystals, the magical play of the rainbows over altars inlaid with mother-ofpearl and onyx and lapis lazuli.
相比父亲信仰的古老诸神，珊莎更喜欢母亲的七神。她喜欢雕像和彩绘玻璃上的图案，燃香的气息，身穿长袍手捧水晶的修士，镶着珠母、玛瑙和天青石的祭坛，以及照洒其上、绚丽灿烂的七彩虹光。
