　　The Kingslayer has us three to one, said Galbart Glover. “弑君者的兵力将近我们三倍。”盖伯特·葛洛佛道。

　　"True enough," Sir Brynden said, "yet there is one thing Sir Jaime lacks." “不错，”布林登爵士，“但詹姆爵士缺乏一样东西。”

　　Yes? Robb asked. Patience. “缺什么？”罗柏问。“耐心。”

　　Their host was greater than it had been when they left the Twins. 比之刚离开孪河城时，他们目前的兵力又增加了不少。

　　Lord Jason Mallister had brought his power out from Seagard to join them as they swept around the headwaters of the Blue Fork and galloped³ south, 绕过蓝叉河源头，调头往南急驰时，杰森·梅利斯特伯爵从海疆城带兵前来助阵，

　　They had driven their horses as hard as they dared to reach this place before Jaime Lannister had word of their coming, 人们极尽所能，催马前进，赶在詹姆·兰尼斯特接获消息以前来到此地。

　　and now the hour was at hand. 眼下，决战时刻已经来临。

　　Catelyn watched her son mount up. 凯特琳看着儿子上马，

　　Olyvar Frey held his horse for him, Lord Walder's son, two years older than Robb, and ten years younger and more anxious. 瓦德侯爵的儿子奥利法·佛雷则为他拉住缰绳。奥利法较罗柏年长两岁，却幼稚得活像小他十岁，处处显得焦躁不安。

　　He strapped⁷ Robb's shield in place and handed up his helm. 他替罗柏绑好盾牌，递上头盔。

　　When he lowered it over the face she loved so well, a tall young knight⁵ sat on his grey stallion where her son had been. 儿子放下面罩，盖住那张她所深爱的脸庞，摇身一变，成为高大英挺的年轻骑士，端坐于灰色骏马之上。

　　It was dark among the trees, where the moon did not reach. 树林极暗，月光无法照及，

　　When Robb turned his head to look at her, she could see only black inside his visor. 所以当罗柏转头看她，面罩之下，她只见一片漆黑。
