冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第129期:第十章 琼恩(6)

 　　Then I haven’t seen you, Robb replied. Jon left him standing¹ there in the snow, surrounded by wagons² and wolves and horses.  "那我就没见你啰。"罗柏答道。琼恩转身离去，留罗柏独自站在雪地，被马车、小狼和马匹所包围。

　　It was a short walk to the armory³. He picked up his package and took the covered bridge across to the Keep. 广场离武器库不远，琼恩拿起他的包裹，取道密闭桥梁，往主堡去了。

　　Arya was in her room, packing a polished ironwood chest that was bigger than she was.  艾莉亚正在她房里收拾行李，把东西装进一个比她还高的磨亮硬木箱子。

　　Nymeria was helping⁴. Arya would only have to point, and the wolf would bound across the room, snatch up some wisp of silk in her jaws⁵, and fetch it back.  娜梅莉亚在旁帮忙，艾莉亚只消指指点点，小狼便会跑过房间，衔起她要的丝制衣料，然后乖乖地叼给小主人，

　　But when she smelled Ghost, she sat down on her haunches and yelped⁶ at them. 她一闻到白灵的味道，便后脚着地坐了下来，发出亲昵的低吠。

　　Arya glanced behind her, saw Jon, and jumped to her feet. She threw her skinny arms tight around his neck.  艾莉亚朝身后瞟了一眼，瞧见是琼恩，便开心地跳了起来。她伸出那双瘦削的臂膀紧紧搂住他的脖子。

　　I was afraid you were gone, she said, her breath catching⁷ in her throat. They wouldn’t let me out to say good-bye. "我好怕你已经走了，"她上气不接下气地说，"他们不准我下去说再见。"

　　What did you do now? Jon was amused. "你又闯了什么祸啦？"琼恩饶富兴味地问。

　　Arya disentangled herself from him and made a face. Nothing. I was all packed and everything.  艾莉亚放开他，然后扮了个鬼脸说："没什么，本来我的东西都收拾好了，"

　　She gestured at the huge chest, no more than a third full, and at the clothes that were scattered⁸ all over the room.  她指着那个还没装到三分之一的巨大箱子，以及散了一地的衣物，

　　Septa Mordane says I have to do it all over. My things weren’t properly folded, she says.  "茉丹修女却说我没把衣服摺得漂漂亮亮的，所以得重新来过。

　　A proper southron lady doesn’t just throw her clothes inside her chest like old rags, she says. 她还说规矩的南方小姐绝不会把衣服像破布似的一股脑儿通通扔进箱子里。"

　　Is that what you did, little sister? "小妹呀，你把衣服像破布一样扔进箱子？"

　　Well, they’re going to get all messed up anyway, she said. Who cares how they’re folded? "哎哟，反正这些衣服迟早也要乱成一团嘛，"她说，"谁管它有没有摺好？"
