　　He was soon to be married for the third time, and one heard dark whisperings about the deaths of his first two wives.  他即将结第三次婚，他前两任妻子的死因背后都有种种恐怖的传闻。

　　It was said that his keep was a grim place where servants disappeared unaccountably and even the dogs were afraid to enter the hall.  据说他的城堡是个阴森恐怖的地方，仆人莫名失踪，连狗都不大敢进大厅。

　　And there had been a sister who had died young under queer circumstances, and the fire that had disfigured his brother, and the hunting accident that had killed their father.  他妹妹年轻时离奇死亡，弟弟遭火残伤，还有死于打猎意外的父亲。

　　Gregor had inherited the keep, the gold, and the family estates.  格雷果继承了家族古堡、财产以及房舍田庄。

　　His younger brother Sandor had left the same day to take service with the Lannisters as a sworn sword, and it was said that he had never returned, not even to visit. 接收遗产当天，弟弟桑铎便离开家，投效兰尼斯特家当武士，听说他再没回去过，连路过拜访都没有。

　　dressed in a suit of fabulous⁵ silver armor polished to a blinding sheen and filigreed⁶ with twining black vines and tiny blue forget-me-nots.  穿着一身华丽无比的银色甲胄，擦得银亮刺眼，上面还镶了成对的黑色藤蔓和小小的蓝色勿忘我。

　　The commons realized in the same instant as Ned that the blue of the flowers came from sapphires⁷; a gasp⁸ went up from a thousand throats.  奈德和其他观众惊觉蓝色的花乃是用蓝宝石制成，几千个喉咙同时倒抽一口气。

　　Across the boy's shoulders his cloak hung heavy. It was woven of forget-me-nots, real ones, hundreds of fresh blooms sewn to a heavy woolen⁹ cape¹⁰. 少年肩头的披风沉甸甸的，披风上织满了真的勿忘我，羊毛披风就这么缝上了几百朵鲜花。
