冰与火之歌系列之《权力的游戏》第107期:第八章 布兰(7)
尽管父亲气得半死，终于还是忍不住笑道：
[00:06:08]You’re not my son, he told Bran when they fetched him down, you’re a squirrel. So be it.
"你一定不是我儿子，"当其他人把布兰抱下来时，他对儿子说，"你根本是只松鼠。算了，我认了，
[00:11:57]If you must climb, then climb, but try not to let your mother see you.
如果你真的非爬不可，那就去爬吧，尽量别让你母亲瞧见就是。"
[00:15:36]Bran did his best, although he did not think he ever really fooled her.
布兰很努力，虽然他认为母亲对他的举动其实一清二楚。
[00:21:22]Since his father would not forbid it, she turned to others.
既然父亲不愿阻止他四处攀爬，她便转而采取迂回策略。
[00:25:14]Old Nan told him a story about a bad little boy who climbed too high and was struck down by lightning,
首先来的是老奶妈，她跟他讲了一个故事，说从前有个不听话的坏小孩，越爬越高，最后被雷活活劈死，
[00:31:49]and how afterward the crows came to peck out his eyes. Bran was not impressed.
死后乌鸦还来啄他眼睛。布兰听了不为所动，
[00:37:47]There were crows’ nests atop the broken tower, where no one ever went but him,
因为残塔上多的是乌鸦窠巢，那里除了他没人会去，
[00:43:07]and sometimes he filled his pockets with corn before he climbed up there and the crows ate it right out of his hand.
所以有时他会在口袋里装满玉米。一上塔顶，乌鸦便都开开心心地聚拢来从他手心啄食，
[00:49:17]None of them had ever shown the slightest bit of interest in pecking out his eyes.
怎么也不像会啄他眼睛的模样。
[00:56:31]Later, Maester Luwin built a little pottery boy and dressed him in Bran’s clothes and flung him off the wall into the yard below,
眼看这招无效，鲁温师傅便用陶土捏了个小男孩，为它穿上布兰的衣服，然后从城墙上丢下去，
[01:04:29]to demonstrate what would happen to Bran if he fell. That had been fun, but afterward Bran just looked at the maester and said,
好让布兰了解他若是摔下，会有多么凄惨的结果。那是个有趣的实验，但事后布兰却只盯着鲁温师傅，面无表情地说：
[01:12:45]I’m not made of clay. And anyhow, I never fall.
"我不是泥做的，而且我绝对不会摔下去。"
[01:17:16]Then for a while the guards would chase him whenever they saw him on the roofs, and try to haul him down.
在此之后，轮到了城里的守卫，有一段时间，只要他们发现他在屋顶上，就会吆喝追赶，想把他赶下来。
[01:23:16]That was the best time of all. It was like playing a game with his brothers, except that Bran always won.
那是最紧张刺激的时刻了，简直就像和哥哥弟弟们玩游戏，只不过，这游戏每次都是布兰获胜。
[01:29:23]None of the guards could climb half so well as Bran, not even Jory. Most of the time they never saw him anyway.
卫兵们谁也没有布兰这种本事，连乔里也拿他没辙。不过多数时候他们根本就没看见他，
[01:36:04]People never looked up. That was another thing he liked about climbing; it was almost like being invisible.
人是从来不往上看的。这也是他喜欢爬墙的原因之一，仿佛可以因此隐身遁形。
