Awkwardly, Jon took the sword in hand. 琼恩僵硬地伸手拿剑。
His left hand; his bandaged right was still too raw and clumsy. 他用的是左手，因为右手不但绑了绷带，而且伤口未愈，不甚灵活。
Carefully he pulled it from its scabbard and raised it level with his eyes. 他小心翼翼地将剑从鞘里抽出，举到眼前。
The pommel was a hunk of pale stone weighted with lead to balance the long blade. 剑柄尾端的圆球是一块淡白色的石头，还加了铅以平衡剑身的重量，
It had been carved into the likeness 1 of a snarling 2 wolf's head, with chips of garnet set into the eyes. 圆球雕刻成一只咆哮狼头的模样，眼睛是两小片红榴石。
The grip was virgin 3 leather, soft and black, as yet unstained by sweat or blood. 剑柄裹着又黑又软的新皮，未经汗渍和血水沾染。
The blade itself was a good half foot longer than those Jon was used to, tapered 4 to thrust as well as slash 5, with three fullers deeply incised in the metal. 剑身则足足比琼恩惯用的剑长了半尺，前端极尖，既能刺击，亦可挥砍，上面开了三道深深的血槽。
Where Ice was a true two-handed greatsword, this was a hand-and-a-halfer, sometimes named a "bastard 6 sword." “寒冰”是名副其实的双手剑，这把则是一手半，有时也称为“长柄剑”。
Yet the wolf sword actually seemed lighter 7 than the blades he had wielded 8 before. 这柄狼剑似乎比他以前用过的剑都轻。
When Jon turned it sideways, he could see the ripples 9 in the dark steel where the metal had been folded back on itself again and again. 琼恩轻转剑身，看到色泽沉暗的精钢剑身历经千锤百炼所留下的波纹。
"This is Valyrian steel, my lord," he said wonderingly. “大人，这是用瓦雷利亚钢锻铸的剑啊。”他讶异地说。
His father had let him handle Ice often enough; he knew the look, the feel. 父亲以前时常让他把握“寒冰”，所以他知道这外观和手感。
It is, the Old Bear told him. "It was my father's sword, and his father's before him. “没错。”熊老告诉他，“这是我父亲的剑，是我祖父传给他的。
The Mormonts have carried it for five centuries. 这把剑在莫尔蒙家族父子相传了五百年，
I wielded it in my day and passed it on to my son when I took the black." 我年轻时也用这把剑，后来我穿上黑衣，便将它传给儿子。”
