A few nights later, at Jon's urging, he joined them for the evening meal, taking a place on the bench beside Halder.

Halder had been born in a quarry and apprenticed as a stonemason. He was sixteen, tall and muscular, and his blows were as hard as any Jon had ever felt.

霍德在采石场里出生，当过石匠的学徒，今年十六岁，高大又结实，打起人来下手很重，琼恩还没尝过更厉害的拳头。

he asked Rast and the others in a voice gone deceptively soft, but it was Jon who moved first. Halder barely got his sword up in time.

他用轻得吓人的声音问雷斯特和其他人，然而最先出手的却是琼恩，霍德差点就不及举剑格挡。琼恩不断进攻，逼得这个年长的男孩节节后退。

Halder delivered a tentative smack to his foe's upraised cheeks.

霍德试探性地敲敲对手仰高的脸颊。

Dareon helped Halder to his feet. The quarryman's son wrenched off his helm and threw it across the yard.

戴利恩扶霍德起身，采石匠的儿子摘下头盔狠狠地摔到广场对面。

Pyp backed him, as he'd known he would, but when Halder spoke up, it was a pleasant surprise.

如他所料，派普站在他这边，但令人惊喜的是霍德也表示支持。

Halder looked to Ser Alliser.

霍德转头去看艾里沙爵士。

Chainmail crunched, and pain flared up his neck, but for an instant Halder was unbalanced. Jon cut his left leg from under him, and he fell with a curse and a crash.

锁甲铿锵一声，疼痛直逼脖颈，但霍德也暂时重心不稳，于是琼恩猛力扫他左腿，他咒骂着轰然倒地。

Look at him, Halder, Jon urged, ignoring Thorne as best he could.

霍德，你看看他，琼恩劝促道，故意不理睬索恩。

Blood matted the fat boy's hair where Halder had split his helm asunder.

胖男孩的发际有凝固的血块，正是刚才霍德砍裂头盔的地方。

Halder to the builders. Pyp to the stewards. Toad to the builders. Grenn to the Rangers. Samwell to the stewards. Matthar to the Rangers. Dareon to the stewards.

陶德，工程兵.葛兰，游骑兵.山姆威尔，事务员.梅沙，游骑兵.戴利恩，事务员.

Let us hope you are not as inept as you look, Ser Alliser said. Halder, see what Ser Piggy can do.

希望你不像看起来那么不中用，艾里沙爵士道，霍德，试试猪头爵士有多厉害。

Halder took hold of his longsword with both hands and brought it down so hard the blow split leather, even on the flat.

索恩讥讽。霍德于是双手持剑，狠狠地砍将下去，力道之猛，虽然是用剑脊，皮甲还是应声破裂。

Halder lifted the sword for another blow.

霍德举起剑准备继续。

Rast and Albett moved to join Halder.

雷斯特和阿贝特走到霍德旁边。

He slammed a sidestroke into Halder's ribs, and was rewarded with a muffled grunt of pain. The counterstroke caught Jon on the shoulder.

他一记侧劈打中霍德的肋骨，只听对方一声闷哼，随即反手砍中琼恩肩膀。

The court will decide within weeks whether the case dismissed Haarde.

法庭将在数周内决定，是否驳回哈尔德一案。

Mr Haarde says one possible solution is to hand the banks over to their biggest foreign creditors.

哈尔德说，一个可能的解决办法是把银行交给她们最大的债权人来处置。

Prime Minister Geir Haarde said he and his cabinet would resign immediately.

冰岛总理哈尔德（GeirHaarde）表示，他和内阁将即刻辞职。

With Lowell and his wife Elizabeth Hardwick, as with other couples, O'Connor enjoyed playing third wheel and child.

当和罗威尔和他的妻子伊丽莎白•哈尔德维克（ElizabethHardwick）夫妇或和其他夫妇在一起时，奥康纳喜欢扮演电灯泡或是小孩子。

In his unassuming whitewashed offices near the central bank, Geir Haarde, the prime minister, appears sympathetic to some of these concerns.

在其朴素的四墙徒壁的办公室里，冰岛总理盖尔？哈尔德显得对这些担心甚为同情。
