Catelyn wondered how long the grove had stood, and whether Ned had rested here when he led his host south to lift the last siege of Storm's End.

"Do you think I wish to be here, ser?"
“你以为我想来这里吗，爵士？”

Across rain-sodden flelds and stony ridges, she could see the great castle of Storm's End rearing up against the sky, its back to the unseen sea.
越过细雨浸染的田野和多石崎岖的山冈，她遥遥望见巨大的风息堡屹立于苍天，完全遮蔽了其后的汪洋。
Beneath that mass of pale grey stone, the encircling army of Lord Stannis Baratheon looked as small and insignificant as mice with banners.

who had won the love of the fair Elenei, daughter of the sea god and the goddess of the wind.
