Sir Perwyn, the youngest of the four Freys in the party, dismounted and handed the reins 2 of his horse to a brother. 派温爵士是佛雷家四兄弟中最年轻的一位,他下了马,把缰绳交给哥哥。
"I require my lady mother's return by evenfall, Sir Stevron," Robb went on. “史提夫伦爵士,我希望家母能在日落时归来,”罗柏继续说,
"It is not my intent to linger here long." “我不愿在此逗留。”
Sir Stevron Frey gave a polite nod. "As you say, my lord." 史提夫伦·佛雷爵士礼貌地点头:“大人,照您吩咐。”
Catelyn spurred her horse forward and did not look back. 凯特琳轻踢马刺,向前奔去,没有回头。

and numerous daughters, granddaughters, bastards 4, and grandbastards, she understood just what he had meant. 以及许多女儿、孙女、私生子、私生女,和私生孙子孙女。她终于明白父亲是什么意思。
Lord Walder was ninety, a wizened 5 pink weasel with a bald spotted 6 head, too gouty to stand unassisted. 瓦德侯爵今年九十,活像条干瘪的粉红色黄鼠狼,头早已光秃,上面遍布老人斑,因为痛风的关系,若无人搀扶,就没法站立。
