原文语境

Catelyn: "You cannot turn down the King, Ned. To refuse him is a direct insult, and Robert, though he loves you like a brother, is still the King. He has the power to destroy us if he feels rejected."\nNed: "I do not want to go to the south, Cat. The politics of King's Landing are a nest of vipers. I would be out of my depth. Here in Winterfell, I know who my friends are. There, everyone puts on a mask. It goes without saying that I would be better off staying right here where my ancestors ruled."\nCatelyn: "But if you refuse, the Lannisters will surely take the position. Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, or Lord Tywin himself. If they gain control of the Iron Throne, our family will never be safe. You must think of the children, Ned. We must protect our family, no matter what it takes."

凯特琳:“你不能拒绝国王,奈德。拒绝他是直接的侮辱,而劳勃虽然像兄弟一样爱你,但他仍然是国王。如果他觉得被拒绝了,他有能力毁灭我们。”\n奈德:“我不想去南方,凯特。君临的政治斗争是个蛇蝎之巢。我会在那里力不从心。在临冬城,我知道谁是我的朋友。而在那里,人人都会戴上假面具。不言而喻,如果能留在我祖先统治的地方,我会过得更好。”\n凯特琳:“但如果你拒绝,兰尼斯特家族必定会夺取这个位置。弑君者詹姆·兰尼斯特,或者泰温公爵本人。如果他们掌控了铁王座,我们的家族将永远得不到安全。你必须为孩子们想想,奈德。无论付出什么代价,我们都必须保护我们的家人。”
