原文语境

"I hear you are reading a boring book," Baelish remarks. "Pycelle talks too much," Ned replies. "Do you know Ser Hugh of the Vale? Until recently, he was only a squire, Jon Arryn’s squire. He was knighted almost immediately after his master’s untimely death." "Knighted for what? Why are you telling me this?" "I promised Catelyn that I would help you." "Where is Ser Hugh? I will speak to him," Ned says. "A singularly bad idea. Do you see that boy there? One of Varys’s little birds. The spider has taken a great interest in your comings and goings. Is there someone in your service whom you trust completely?" "Yes." "The wiser answer was no, my lord. Send your man to question Ser Hugh. After that, you might want him to visit a certain armourer in the city. Lord Arryn visited this armourer several times in the weeks before his death." "Lord Baelish, perhaps I was wrong to distrust you." "Distrusting me was the wisest thing you’ve done."

“我听说你正在读一本无聊的书,”贝里席说道。 “派席尔废话太多了,”艾德回答。 “你认识谷地的休恩爵士吗?直到最近,他还只是个侍从--琼恩·艾兰的侍从。在他的主人早逝后,他几乎立即被封为了骑士。” “因为什么被封为骑士?你为什么要告诉我这些?” “我答应过凯特琳会帮助你。” “休恩爵士在哪里?我要去和他谈谈,”艾德说。 “这绝对是个坏主意。你看到那个男孩了吗?瓦里斯的‘小鸟’之一。‘八爪蜘蛛’对你的行踪产生了极大兴趣。在你的仆心中,有你完全信任的人吗?” “有。” “更明智的回答本该是没有,大人。派你的人去审问休恩爵士。那之后,你可能想让他去拜访城里的某个盔甲匠。艾兰大人在去世前的几周里,曾数次拜访过那个盔甲匠。” “贝里席大人,也许我之前不信任你是错的。” “不信任我,才是你下马以来做过的最明智的事。”
