冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第293期:第十九章 艾莉亚(3)

 　　Septa Mordane spoke¹ up. Princess Myrcella will be there, my lord, and her younger than Lady Sansa.  茉丹修女开口：老爷，届时弥赛 公主也会出席，而她年纪比珊莎小姐还小。

　　All the ladies of the court will be expected at a grand event like this, and as the tourney is in your honor, it would look queer if your family did not attend. 遇到这种盛事，宫廷里的仕女们都应该出席。更何况这届比武大会以您之名举办的，您的家人若不到场，可能有些不妥。

　　Father looked pained. I suppose so. Very well, I shall arrange a place for you, Sansa. He saw Arya. For both of you. 父亲神色痛苦。我想也是。也罢，珊莎，我就帮你安排个席位。他看看艾莉亚。帮你们两个都弄个席位。

　　I don't care about their stupid tourney, Arya said. She knew Prince Joffrey would be there, and she hated Prince Joffrey. 我才没兴趣参加什么无聊的比武会呢。艾莉亚说。她知道乔佛里王子到时候一定也在场，而她恨死乔佛里王子了。

　　Sansa lifted her head. It will be a splendid event. You shan't be wanted. 珊莎昂头道：这会是一场盛况空前的庆祝。本来也没人希望你参加。

　　Anger flashed across Father's face. Enough, Sansa. More of that and you will change my mind.  父亲听了满脸怒容。够了，珊莎。再说下去，小心我改变主意。

　　I am weary unto death of this endless war you two are fighting. You are sisters. I expect you to behave like sisters, is that understood? 我已经被你们俩没完没了的争吵给烦死了。再怎么说你们都是亲姐妹，我希望你们像姐妹一样相亲相爱，知道了么？

　　Sansa bit her lip and nodded. Arya lowered her face to stare sullenly² at her plate.  珊莎咬着嘴唇点点头，艾莉亚低头不快地盯着眼前的餐盘，

　　She could feel tears stinging her eyes. She rubbed them away angrily, determined³ not to cry. 感觉到泪水刺痛眼睛。她愤怒地抹掉眼泪，决心不要哭。

　　The only sound was the clatter⁴ of knives and forks. Pray excuse me, her father announced to the table.  四周只剩下刀叉碰触的声音。很抱歉，父亲对全桌的人说，

　　I find I have small appetite tonight. He walked from the hall. 今晚我没什么胃口。说完他便走出小厅。

　　After he was gone, Sansa exchanged excited whispers with Jeyne Poole. Down the table Jory laughed at a joke, and Hullen started in about h orseflesh.  他离开之后，珊莎立刻兴奋地和珍妮·普尔窃窃私语起来。坐在长桌彼端的乔里有说有笑，胡伦也开始大谈马经。
