　　Staggering to his feet, he kicked the arm away and snatched the lamp from the Old Bear's fingers. 他踉跄地站起来，一脚把断臂踢开，伸手从熊老手中抢过油灯。

　　The flame flickered¹ and almost died. 只见灯焰晃动，险些就要熄灭。

　　"Burn!" the raven² cawed. "Burn, burn, burn!" “烧啊！”乌鸦哇哇大叫，“烧啊！烧啊！烧啊！”

　　Spinning, Jon saw the drapes he'd ripped from the window. 琼恩在原地忙乱转圈，瞥见先前从窗户扯下的帘幕，

　　He flung the lamp into the puddled cloth with both hands. 便两手握住灯，朝那一团布缦掷去。

　　Metal crunched³, glass shattered, oil spewed, and the hangings went up in a great whoosh⁴ of flame. 金属油灯落地，玻璃罩应声碎裂，灯油溅洒出来，窗帘立刻轰地一声，燃起熊熊烈焰。

　　The heat of it on his face was sweeter than any kiss Jon had ever known. "Ghost!" he shouted. 扑面而来的热气比琼恩尝过的任何一个吻都来得甜美。“白灵！”他叫道。

　　The direwolf wrenched⁵ free and came to him as the wight struggled to rise, dark snakes spilling from the great wound in its belly⁶. 冰原狼从那正挣扎着爬起的尸鬼身上猛地一扭，抽身跳开。黑色的液体自死尸腹部的大裂口缓缓流出，好似一条条黑蛇。

　　Jon plunged⁷ his hand into the flames, grabbed a fistful of the burning drapes, and whipped them at the dead man. 琼恩探手到火里抓起一把燃烧的布块，朝尸鬼扔去。

　　Let it burn, he prayed as the cloth smothered⁸ the corpse⁹, gods, please, please, let it burn. 烧啊，看着布块盖住尸体，他暗自祈祷，天上诸神，求求你们，求求你们让它烧啊。

　　Bran. The Karstarks came in on a cold windy morning, bringing three hundred horsemen and near two thousand foot from their castle at Karhold. 布兰。在一个北风飕飕的寒冷清晨，卡史塔克家族从卡霍城带着三百骑兵和近两千步兵抵达了临冬城。

　　The steel points of their pikes winked¹⁰ in the pale sunlight as the column approached. 兵士的枪尖在苍白的目光中眨着眼睛。
