冰与火之歌卷Ⅰ：权力的游戏中英文双语同步对照版 第7篇 ARYA(8)

艾莉亚瞪着她，“我去帮马儿装蹄铁。”她甜甜地说，并从修女脸上的惊讶表情中得到一丝满足。语毕她旋身离开房间，以最快的速度飞奔下楼。
It wasn’t fair. Sansa had everything. Sansawas two years older; maybe by the time Arya had been born, there had beennothing left. Often it felt that way. Sansa could sew and dance and sing. Shewrote poetry. She knew how to dress. She played the high harp and the bells.Worse, she was beautiful. Sansa had gotten their mother’s fine high cheekbonesand the thick auburn hair of the Tullys. Arya took after their lord father. Herhair was a lusterless brown, and her face was long and solemn. Jeyne used tocall her Arya Horseface, and neigh whenever she came near. It hurt that the onething Arya could do Better than her sister was ride a horse. Well, that andmanage a household. Sansa had never had much of a head for figures. If she didmarry Prince Joff, Arya hoped for his sake that he had a good steward.

上天真是太不公平，凭什么珊莎就拥有一切？有时候艾莉亚会这么觉得。自己出生的时候，珊莎已经两岁多了，早已没有任何东西剩下来。珊莎精于缝纫刺绣，又能歌善舞，她会吟诗作词，又懂得如何打扮；她奏起竖琴拨弦宛转，摇起钟铃悦耳轻灵。更糟糕的是，她还是大美人一个。珊莎自母亲那儿继承了徒利家族的玲珑颊骨和浓密的枣红秀发，艾莉亚则活像她父亲，发色深褐，黯淡无光；脸形细长，阴霾不开。珍妮老爱叫她“马脸艾莉亚”，每次遇上她就学起马儿嘶叫。想到自己惟一做得比姐姐好的事情就是骑马，她越发难过起来。不过珊莎不擅长管理家务，对数字也向来一窍不通，倘若哪天她真嫁给乔佛里王子，艾莉亚希望他最好有个好管家，否则后果不堪设想。
