And they had fed and clothed any number of waifs who slept in their cellar.

此处，还要给那些住宿在他家地下室里的流浪儿提供吃的穿的。

What is yonder undetected villain's marble mansion with a doorplate for a waif; what is that but a Fast-Fish?

那边那个西洋镜还未被人拆穿的恶棍的大理石巨厦上，不是有一块代替浮标的门牌吗？它不就是有主鲸么？

The Elder to whose care the two waifs had been committed led them to his wagon, where a meal was already awaiting them.

节逊长老把两个落难人带到他的车里，那里早已给他们预备好了吃食。

" You lie, " said the waif. " You must lie gooder" .

" 你撒谎，" 流浪儿道，" 你必须撒得好。"

The waif nodded. Arya nodded back, and in her best Braavosi said, " How many years have you" ?

流浪儿点点头。艾莉亚也点头回应，并用自己最流利的布拉佛语问，" 你几岁了？"

" On any animal with warm blood" . The waif slapped her.

" 对暖血动物都有效。" 流浪儿扇了她一巴掌。

Poisons. She understood then. Every evening after prayer the waif emptied a stone flagon into the waters of the black pool.

毒药。她明白了。每晚祈祷之后，流浪儿都要将一个石壶倒空至黑水池。

But before the waif could answer, the kindly man stepped into the chamber, smiling. " You have returned to us" .

流浪儿不及回答，慈祥的人微笑着走进屋子：" 你回到我们这儿来了。"

The Common Tongue came to the waif more quickly. One day at supper she turned to Arya, and asked, " Who are you" ?

流浪儿学通用语却比较快。某天晚餐时，她忽然扭头问艾莉亚，" 你是谁？"

" Until darkness is as sweet to you as light, " the waif would say, " or until you ask us for your eyes. Ask and you shall see" .

" 直到你觉得黑暗和光明一样甜美。" 流浪儿总是回答，" 或者请求我们，要回你的双眼。只需请求，你就能重见光明。"

" To other eyes, your nose and jaw are broken, " said the waif. " One side of your face is caved in where your cheekbone shattered, and half your teeth are missing" .

" 在旁人眼，你的鼻子和下巴都破了，" 流浪儿说，" 一边脸因颧骨粉碎而凹陷下去，你还少了一半牙齿。"

She had been watching the waif's face the whole time she told her story, but the other girl had shown her no signs. " The Many-Faced God took two-thirds of your father's wealth, not all" .

流浪儿讲自己的故事时，艾莉亚一直观察着她的脸，但对方没有透露任何信息。" 千面之神拿走了你父亲三分之二的财产，并非全部。"

The priest studied the coin, though he made no move to touch it. The waif with the big eyes was looking at it too. Finally, the cowled man said, " Tell me your name, child" .

牧师仔细看了看，但没去摸。那大眼睛流浪儿也看着它。最后，戴兜帽的牧师说：" 你叫什么，孩子？"

" You lie" . He turned to the waif. " My throat is dry. Do me a kindness and bring a cup of wine for me and warm milk for our friend Arya, who has returned to us so unexpectedly" .

" 你撒谎。" 他转向流浪儿，" 我嗓子很干。请帮我拿一杯红酒，再给我们的朋友艾莉亚拿一杯热牛奶，她回来了让我们很意外。"
