[00:07:48]The Stark words. Every noble house had its words. Family mottoes, touchstones, prayers of sorts,
那是史塔克家族的警語,每一個貴族家族都有自己的箴言警句:或是世代相傳的座右銘,或是待人處事的衡量標準,或是面臨困境的禱詞;
[00:16:48]they boasted of honor and glory, promised loyalty and truth, swore faith and courage.
有的夸耀榮譽,有些講究忠貞誠信,還有的為信仰勇氣宣誓,
[00:23:44]All but the Starks. Winter is coming, said the Stark words.

[00:33:00]The man died well, I’ll give him that, Ned said. He had a swatch of oiled leather in one hand.
「今天那個人死得很乾脆,這一點我不否認。」奈德說道,他手里握了一塊上了油的皮革,
[00:41:27]He ran it lightly up the greatsword as he spoke, polishing the metal to a dark glow.
邊說邊輕拭劍身,把金屬磨出一道暗沉的光澤。
[00:47:27]I was glad for Bran’s sake. You would have been proud of Bran.
「我很為布蘭高興,你要是在場,也會為他驕傲的?!?/p>
[00:51:29]I am always proud of Bran, Catelyn replied, watching the sword as he stroked it.
「我向來都很為他驕傲?!箘P特琳看著他拭劍答道,
[00:57:04]She could see the rippling deep within the steel, where the metal had been folded back on itself a hundred times in the forging.
她可以看見鋼鐵深處的波紋,那是鍛制時千錘百鏈的印記。
[01:03:48]Catelyn had no love for swords, but she could not deny that Ice had its own beauty.

[01:09:28]It had been forged in Valyria, before the Doom had come to the old Freehold,
它是在未日浩劫降臨古自由堡壘以前,在瓦雷利亞鍛造而成的,
[01:15:26]when the ironsmiths had worked their metal with spells as well as hammers.

[01:20:23]Four hundred years old it was, and as sharp as the day it was forged.
寶劍已有四百年歷史,卻仍舊如同它鍛冶初成時那般鋒利,
[01:25:23]The name it bore was older still, a legacy from the age of heroes, when the Starks were Kings in the North.
它的名字則更是源遠流長,是古代英雄紀元時的精神遺產(chǎn),那時史塔克一族是北境之王。
