Had you stayed, and lent your support to Ned, he might still be alive, Catelyn thought bitterly.
如果你留在君临，全力支持奈德，他一定还活着，凯特琳苦涩地想。
"I liked your husband well enough, my lady. He was a loyal friend to Robert, I know… but he would not listen and he would not bend. Here, I wish to show you something." They had reached the top of the stairwell. Renly pushed open a wooden door, and they stepped out onto the roof.
“我很欣赏您丈夫，夫人。他一直都是劳勃最忠实的朋友，我明白……但恕我直言，他脑筋太死，不懂能屈能伸的道理。现在，让我给您展示一番。”阶梯到了尽头，蓝礼推开一扇木门，带她踱到屋顶。
Lord Caswell's keep was scarcely tall enough to call a tower, but the country was low and flat and Catelyn could see for leagues in all directions. Wherever she looked, she saw fires. They covered the earth like fallen stars, and like the stars there was no end to them. "Count them if you like, my lady," Renly said quietly. "You will still be counting when dawn breaks in the east. How many fires burn around Riverrun tonight, I wonder?"
卡斯威男爵的堡垒其实没有高到可以称为塔楼的程度，只因四周都是平坦空旷的原野，凯特琳才能极目眺望遥远的地平线。不论望向何方，惟有焰火可见。火焰如同坠落的繁星，覆盖四野，组合成无穷无尽的星辰大海。“夫人，请您好好算算。”蓝礼平静地说，“即便数到旭日东升也数不完。奔流城夜间有多少营火，能告诉我吗？”
Catelyn could hear faint music drifting from the Great Hall, seeping out into the night. She dare not count the stars.
凯特琳听着隐隐约约的音乐声从大厅里渗透而出，发散于夜空之中。她不敢去点数那繁星。
"I'm told your son crossed the Neck with twenty thousand swords at his back," Renly went on. "Now that the lords of the Trident are with him, perhaps he commands forty thousand."
“听说您儿子越过颈泽时身边跟了两万人马，”蓝礼续道，“现在三河诸侯也追随他，或许他有了四万人。”
No, she thought, not near so many, we have lost men in battle, and others to the harvest.
没有，她想，相去甚远，我们打仗折了不少兵马，还有的回家忙收获去了。
