原文语境
Bran: Is it true he saw the White Walkers? Ned: The man was an oathbreaker. He took the black, and deserted his post. There is no longer any place for him. Robb: He was terrified, Father. I could see it in his eyes. Ned: A man who flees his duty has forfeited his right to live. Bran, do you understand why I had to do it? Bran: Jon said he was a coward. Ned: King Robert has the power to pardon, but in the North, we adhere to the old ways. The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die. Jon: You did well, Bran. You didn't look away. Bran: I wanted to, but Father was watching.
布兰:他真的看到异鬼了吗?奈德:那个人违背了誓言。他穿上了黑衣,却弃岗逃跑。这里已经没有他的容身之所了。罗柏:他吓坏了,父亲。我能从他的眼睛里看出来。奈德:一个逃避职责的人已经丧失了他的权利去生存。布兰,你明白我为什么要这么做吗?布兰:琼恩说他是个懦夫。奈德:劳勃国王有特赦的权力,但在北方,我们坚守古老的传统。宣判死刑的人应该亲自动手执行。如果你要夺去一个人的生命,你有义务看着他的眼睛,听取他临终遗言。如果你做不到这一点,那么也许那个人就不该死。琼恩:你做得很好,布兰。你没有转过脸去。布兰:我想转过去,但父亲在看着。
