Let Asha keep the bloody islands, they’re as dreary as she is.
就让阿莎保有那些鸟不生蛋的岛屿吧，它们跟她一样乏味。
If I served at Eastwatch, I could command my own ship, and there’s fine hunting beyond the Wall.

But now they’ve fallen on them!”

Reek had belonged to the Bastard of Bolton before his capture, Theon recalled.
席恩想起来，臭佬被俘前效命于波顿的私生子。

Ser Rodrik seemed to have the numbers, but the Dreadfort men were better led, and had taken the others unawares.

Theon watched them charge and wheel and charge again,
他们冲锋、厮杀、再冲锋，调度灵活。
chopping the larger force to bloody pieces every time they tried to form up between the houses.
在拥挤的房屋间，大队人马每次整队的企图都是徒劳，庞大的兵力被冲散为可怜的碎片。
He could hear the crash of iron axeheads on oaken shields over the terrified trumpeting of a maimed horse.
