　　Eddard Stark¹ had left before dawn, Septa Mordane informed Sansa as they broke their fast. The king sent for him. 早餐的时候，茉丹修女告诉珊莎，艾德·史塔克大人天亮前就离了营。国王找他去的，

　　Another hunt, I do believe. There are still wild aurochs in these lands, I am told. 我想肯定又是去外面打猎。听说这附近还有野牛出没哪。

　　I've never seen an aurochs, Sansa said, feeding a piece of bacon to Lady under the table. The direwolf took it from her hand, as delicate as a queen. 我从没见过野牛。珊莎喂了块培根给餐桌底下的淑女，冰原狼像王后般优雅地从她手上衔过去。

　　Septa Mordane sniffed² in disapproval³. 茉丹修女不以为然地哼了一声。

　　A noble lady does not feed dogs at her table, she said, breaking off another piece of comb and letting the honey drip down onto her bread. 好人家的小姐不在用餐时喂狗的。她掰开一块蜂窝，让蜜滴到面包上。

　　She's not a dog, she's a direwolf, Sansa pointed⁴ out as Lady licked her fingers with a rough tongue. 她才不是狗呢，她是冰原狼。珊莎纠正。淑女伸出粗糙的舌头舔了舔她的手指。

　　Anyway, Father said we could keep them with us if we want. 反正父亲大人说小狼可以陪我们作伴。

　　The septa was not appeased⁵. You're a good girl, Sansa, but I do vow⁶, when it comes to that creature you're as willful as your sister Arya. She scowled⁷. 修女看来很不服气。珊莎，你是个好女孩，但只要一说到那只野东西，你就倔得跟你妹妹艾莉亚一个样。她皱起眉头，

　　And where is Arya this morning? 说到艾莉亚，她这会儿又跑哪儿去了？

　　She wasn't hungry, Sansa said, knowing full well that her sister had probably stolen down to the kitchen hours ago and wheedled⁸ a breakfast out of some cook's boy. 她肚子不饿。珊莎道。她心里很清楚，艾莉亚八成早就溜进厨房，好说歹说地跟哪个厨房小弟讨到一顿丰盛早餐了。

　　Do remind her to dress nicely today. The grey velvet⁹, perhaps. 得提醒她今天穿得体面些。那件灰色的天鹅绒衣服不错。

　　We are all invited to ride with the queen and Princess Myrcella in the royal wheelhouse, and we must look our best. 王后和弥赛菈公主邀请我们过去一同搭乘轮宫，我们可要表现出最好的一面才行。

　　Sansa already looked her best. She had brushed out her long auburn hair until it shone, and picked her nicest blue silks. 珊莎的表现已经好得不能再好。她把栗色长发梳得发亮，然后穿上她最好的蓝丝绒礼服。

　　She had been looking forward to today for more than a week. 最近这一个多星期，她天天都在盼望今天的到来。
