　　She mounted him then, and for a time, she almost made him believe it. Tyrion went to sleep smiling... 说完她骑到他身上，一时之间，几乎就让他相信她的话。提利昂微笑着睡去……

　　... and woke in darkness to the blare of trumpets¹. Shae was shaking him by the shoulder. ……直到被黑暗中震耳欲聋的喇叭声吵醒，雪伊摇着他的肩膀。

　　"M'lord," she whispered. "Wake up, m'lord. I'm frightened." “大人，”她悄声道，“大人您醒醒，我好怕。”

　　Groggy², he sat up and threw back the blanket. 他有气无力地坐起来，掀开毛毯，

　　The horns called through the night, wild and urgent, a cry that said hurry hurry hurry. 号音响彻夜空，狂野而急促，仿佛在喊着：快啊，快啊，快啊。

　　He heard shouts, the clatter³ of spears, the whicker of horses, though nothing yet that spoke⁴ to him of fighting. 他听见人们的叫喊、枪矛的撞击、马儿的嘶鸣，好在没有打斗。

　　"My lord father's trumpets," he said. "Battle assembly. “是我父亲的喇叭，”他说，“这是作战集合令。

　　I thought Stark⁶ was yet a day's march away." 史塔克军离我们不是还有一天路程么？”

　　Shae shook her head, lost. Her eyes were wide and white. 雪伊摇摇头，眼睛睁得老大，面色苍白。

　　Groaning⁷, Tyrion lurched to his feet and pushed his way outside, shouting for his squire⁸. 提利昂呻吟着下床，摸索着走到帐外，一边叫唤他的侍从。

　　Wisps of pale fog drifted through the night, long white fingers off the river. 苍白的迷雾自夜幕中飘浮过来，宛如河面上悠长的白手指。

　　Men and horses blundered through the predawn chill; saddles were being cinched, wagons⁹ loaded, fires extinguished. 人和马在黎明前的寒气里跌跌撞撞，他们忙着系紧马鞍，将货物运上马车，并熄灭营火。

　　The trumpets blew again: hurry hurry hurry. 号角再度吹响：快啊，快啊，快啊。

　　Knights¹⁰ vaulted¹¹ onto snorting coursers while men-at-arms buckled¹² their sword belts as they ran. 骑士们纷纷跃上不住吐气的战马，步兵则边跑边扣上剑带。

　　When he found Pod, the boy was snoring softly. 当他找到波德（波德瑞克的小名）时，那孩子正轻声打着鼾。

　　Tyrion gave him a sharp poke⁵ in the ribs¹³ with his toe. 提利昂扬腿狠狠地踢了他肋骨一脚。

　　"My armor," he said, "and be quick about it."  “快把我盔甲拿来，”他说，“动作快。”
