　　He was clad in black from head to heel; high leather riding boots, roughspun breeches and tunic¹, sleeveless leather jerkin, and heavy wool cloak. 眼下的他从头到脚都是黑色：高统黑皮革马靴，粗布黑长裤黑外衣，无袖黑皮革背心，厚重的黑羊毛披风。

　　His longsword and dagger² were sheathed³ in black moleskin, and the hauberk and coif in his saddlebag were black ringmail. 长剑和匕首包在黑鞘里，鞍袋里则是黑环甲和头盔。

　　Any bit of it could mean his death if he were taken. 如果他被捕，这每一件都足以致他于死地。

　　A stranger wearing black was viewed with cold suspicion in every village and holdfast north of the Neck, and men would soon be watching for him. 在颈泽以北，任何穿黑衣的陌生人进了村舍庄园，都会被投以冷漠的怀疑眼光，并遭到监视。

　　Once Maester Aemon's ravens⁴ took flight, Jon knew he would find no safe haven⁵. Not even at Winterfell. 而一旦伊蒙师傅的渡鸦送出消息，自己便再也找不到容身之所，即便临冬城也一样。

　　Bran might want to let him in, but Maester Luwin had better sense. He would bar the gates and send Jon away, as he should. 布兰或许会放他进城，但鲁温师傅很清楚该怎么做，他会履行职责，关上城门，把琼恩赶走。

　　Better not to call there at all. 所以，打一开始他就没动临冬城的主意。

　　Yet he saw the castle clear in his mind's eye, 虽然如此，在他脑海里，却能清晰地见到城堡的影像，

　　as if he had left it only yesterday; the towering granite⁶ walls, the Great Hall with its smells of smoke and dog and roasting meat, 仿佛昨天才刚离开：高耸的大理石墙；香气四溢、烟雾弥漫的城堡大厅，里面到处是乱跑的狗；

　　his father's solar, the turret⁷ room where he had slept. 父亲的书房；自己在塔楼上的卧室。

　　Part of him wanted nothing so much as to hear Bran laugh again, to sup on one of Gage's beef-and-bacon pies, 在他心底的某一部分，只想再瞧瞧布兰的欢笑，再吃一个盖奇做的牛肉培根派，

　　to listen to Old Nan tell her tales of the children of the forest and Florian the Fool. 再听老奶妈说关于森林之子和傻瓜佛罗理安的故事。

　　But he had not left the Wall for that; he had left because he was after all his father's son, and Robb's brother. 可是，他并非因为这些才离开长城：他之所以离开，只因为他是父亲的儿子，罗柏的兄弟。
