He is only being kind to me, he doesn’t remember me or the rose or any of it.

She had been so certain that it meant something, that it meant everything.

A red rose, not a white.
一朵红玫瑰，不是白玫瑰。
“It was after you unhorsed Ser Robar Royce,” she said, desperately.
“当时你刚把罗拨·罗伊斯爵士打落下马，”她绝望地补充。
He took his hand from her arm.
他突然抽离手臂。
“I slew Robar at Storm’s End, my lady.”
“我在风息堡杀了罗拨，小姐。”
It was not a boast; he sounded sad.
年轻骑士没有自吹自擂，语调中是深深的悲哀。
Him, and another of King Renly’s Rainbow Guard as well, yes.
你不仅杀了他，还杀了蓝礼国王另一名彩虹护卫。
Sansa had heard the women talking of it round the well, but for a moment she’d forgotten.
珊莎曾听井边的洗衣妇谈起过，如今竟然忘了。
“That was when Lord Renly was killed, wasn’t it?
“当时蓝礼大人刚过世，对吧？
How terrible for your poor sister.”
对您可怜的妹妹而言，这多么可怕啊。”
“For Margaery?”
“对玛格丽？”
His voice was tight.

She was at Bitterbridge, though.

She did not see.”

Ser Loras brushed the hilt of his sword lightly with his hand.

Its grip was white leather, its pommel a rose in alabaster.

Robar as well.

What use to speak of them?”

“I … my lord, I … I did not mean to give offense, ser.”
“我……大人，我……我无意冒犯，爵士先生。”
“Nor could you, Lady Sansa,”
“你的话也冒犯不了我，珊莎小姐，”
Ser Loras replied, but all the warmth had gone from his voice.

Nor did he take her arm again.
所有的善意烟消云散，他也不再挽她的手了。
They ascended the serpentine steps in a deepening silence.
他们在深沉的静默中攀登蜿蜒的螺旋梯。
Oh, why did I have to mention Ser Robar?

Sansa thought.

I’ve ruined everything.
我把一切都搞砸了，
He is angry with me now.

She tried to think of something she might say to make amends, but all the words that came to her were lame and weak.
她竭力想说些什么来赔罪，可能想到的一切话语都那么蹩脚虚弱。
Be quiet, or you will only make it worse, she told herself.

Lord Mace Tyrell and his entourage had been housed behind the royal sept,
梅斯·提利尔公爵和他的队伍住在王家圣堂背后那座长长的板岩顶堡垒里，
in the long slate-roofed keep that had been called the Maidenvault since King Baelor the Blessed had confined his sisters therein,
此地名为“处女居”，前朝国王“受神祝福的”贝勒便于此幽禁他的姐妹们。
so the sight of them might not tempt him into carnal thoughts.
因为他认为，看不见自己的姐妹们，就不会被引诱而陷入肉欲中。
Outside its tall carved doors stood two guards in gilded halfhelms and green cloaks edged in gold satin,
高大精雕的木门外，站着两位戴镀金半盔、披金线滚边绿袍的卫士，
the golden rose of Highgarden sewn on their breasts.
胸前绣有高庭的金玫瑰，
Both were seven-footers, wide of shoulder and narrow of waist, magnificently muscled.
宽肩细腰，浑身肌肉。两人均七尺身高，
When Sansa got close enough to see their faces, she could not tell one from the other.
珊莎走近来观察，发现自己无法将对方分辨开。
They had the same strong jaws, the same deep blue eyes, the same thick red mustaches.
他俩有同样强健的下颚，同样深邃的蓝眼睛，同样稠密的红胡须。
“Who are they?”
“他们是谁呀？”
she asked Ser Loras, her discomfit forgotten for a moment.
她询问洛拉斯爵士，不由得抛却了刚才的不快。
“My grandmother’s personal guard,” he told her.
“我祖母的私人护卫，”他告诉她，
“Their mother named them Erryk and Arryk, but Grandmother can’t tell them apart, so she calls them Left and Right.”
“双胞胎，一个叫艾里克，一个叫阿里克，由于难以分辨，祖母干脆称他们为左手和右手。”
Left and Right opened the doors, and Margaery Tyrell herself emerged and swept down the short flight of steps to greet them.
左手和右手打开大门，玛格丽·提利尔亲自奔下短短的阶梯，前来迎接。
“Lady Sansa,” she called,
“珊莎小姐，”她喊道，
“I’m so pleased you came. Be welcome.”
“你能前来我真是太高兴了。欢迎你，欢迎你。”
Sansa knelt at the feet of her future queen.
珊莎在未来的王后陛下脚前跪下，
“You do me great honor, Your Grace.”
“您给了我莫大的荣耀，陛下。”
“Won’t you call me Margaery?
“为何不叫我玛格丽？
Please, rise.
快，快起来。
Loras, help the Lady Sansa to her feet.
洛拉斯，快扶珊莎小姐。
Might I call you Sansa?”
对了，能叫你珊莎吗？”
“If it please you.”
“如果您高兴的话。”
Ser Loras helped her up.
洛拉斯爵士扶她起来。
Margaery dismissed him with a sisterly kiss, and took Sansa by the hand.
玛格丽用一个兄妹间的吻打发走骑士，挽起珊莎的手臂，
“Come, my grandmother awaits, and she is not the most patient of ladies.”
“来吧，我的祖母在等你呢，她的耐性可不是太好唷。”
A fire was crackling in the hearth, and sweet-swelling rushes had been scattered on the floor.
壁炉里，炉火劈啪燃烧，甜美的香草撒在地板上。
Around the long trestle table a dozen women were seated.
长长的搁板桌边，坐了十来个贵妇人。
Sansa recognized only Lord Tyrell’s tall, dignified wife, Lady Alerie, whose long silvery braid was bound with jeweled rings.
珊莎只认得提利尔公爵高大而威严的妻子，艾勒莉夫人，她长长的银色发辫上绑着珠宝环。
Margaery performed the other introductions.
玛格丽为她引见其他人：
There were three Tyrell cousins, Megga and Alla and Elinor, all close to Sansa’s age.
首先是她的三位表妹，梅歌、雅兰和埃箩，年龄均与珊莎相仿；
Buxom Lady Janna was Lord Tyrell’s sister, and wed to one of the green-apple Fossoways;
丰满的洁娜夫人是提利尔公爵的妹妹，嫁到绿苹果佛索威家中；
dainty, bright-eyed Lady Leonette was a Fossoway as well, and wed to Ser Garlan.
秀丽、长着一对明亮眼珠的莱昂妮夫人也是佛索威家的人，她嫁给了加兰爵士；
Septa Nysterica had a homely pox-scarred face but seemed jolly.
娜丝特瑞卡修女有一张单调而长满痘子的脸，但她似乎兴高采烈；
Pale, elegant Lady Graceford was with child, and Lady Bulwer was a child, no more than eight.
白皙、优雅的格雷佛德夫人怀着孩子，而布尔威伯爵夫人自己都还是个小孩，尚不满八岁；
And “Merry” was what she was to call boisterous plump Meredyth Crane,
玛格丽称喧闹肥胖的梅内狄斯·克连恩为“欢乐的玛瑞”，
but most definitely not Lady Merryweather, a sultry black-eyed Myrish beauty.
她开始还以为这是玛瑞魏斯夫人的昵称呢，后者是一名性格开放的黑眼睛密尔美女。
