   Above the Vale, the Eyrie stood high and impregnable, its towers reaching for the sky.  雄立于艾林谷顶端的鹰巢城固若金汤,高塔直向天际。


  There she would find her sister and, perhaps, some of the answers Ned sought.  在那里她可以找到妹妹莱莎…或许还能找到某些奈德求索的答案。
  Surely Lysa knew more than she had dared to put in her letter.  莱莎信里想必有所保留,不敢多说,
  She might have the very proof that Ned needed to bring the Lannisters to ruin,  说不定她正持有奈德需要的证据,足以导致兰尼斯特家的毁灭。
  and if it came to war, they would need the Arryns and the eastern lords who owed them service. 倘若真的开战,他们也需要得到艾林家族和其臣属的东境贵族们的支持。
  Yet the mountain road was perilous 1. Shadowcats prowled those passes, rock slides were common,  然而山路崎岖难行,危机四伏。影子山猫四处出没不提,落石是常有的事,
  and the mountain clans 2 were lawless brigands 3,  山区氏族部落更是目无法纪的盗匪,
  descending 4 from the heights to rob and kill and melting away like snow whenever the knights 6 rode out from the Vale in search of them.  他们从峰峦间呼啸而至,杀人越货后,一见峡谷派出骑士追剿,便如积雪融化般消失得无影无踪。
  Even Jon Arryn, as great a lord as any the Eyrie had ever known, had always traveled in strength when he crossed the mountains.  就连琼恩·艾林如此少见的英明领主,每次穿越山脉也必定带上大批人马。
  Catelyn's only strength was one elderly knight 5, armored in loyalty 7. 而此刻凯特琳惟一的人马是个老骑士,惟一的屏障是他的忠诚。
  No, she thought, Riverrun and the Eyrie would have to wait. Her path ran north to Winterfell, where her sons and her duty were waiting for her.  不,她想,奔流城和鹰巢城以后再说,此刻她应该北上直取临冬城,她的三个儿子和重责大任正对她翘首以盼。
  As soon as they were safely past the Neck, she could declare herself to one of Ned's bannermen,  只等安然渡过颈泽,她便可对奈德的封臣宣布身份,然后派信使骑马先行,
  and send riders racing 8 ahead with orders to mount a watch on the kingsroad. 发布国王大道戒严的消息。
  The rain obscured the fields beyond the crossroads, but Catelyn saw the land clear enough in her memory.  雨丝遮蔽了岔路远方的田野,但凯特琳记忆里的风景依旧清晰。
  The marketplace was just across the way, and the village a mile farther on, half a hundred white cottages surrounding a small stone sept.  市集在路的那一头,再走一里有个村落,五十来间白色农舍围绕着一间小小的石砌圣堂。
