Half a league from the crossroads, a barricade of sharpened stakes had been erected, manned by pikemen and archers. Behind the line, the camp spread out to the far distance. Thin fingers of smoke rose from hundreds of cookfires, mailed men sat under trees and honed their blades, and familiar banners fluttered from staffs thrust into the muddy ground.
离十字路口半里格的地方，架起了一道削尖木桩排列的防御工事，由长矛兵和弓箭手负责防守。防线之后，营地绵延直至远方，炊烟如纤细的手指，自几百座营火中升起，全副武装的人坐在树下磨利武器，熟悉的旗帜飘扬风中，旗竿深深插进泥泞的地面。
A party of mounted horsemen rode forward to challenge them as they approached the stakes. The knight who led them wore silver armor inlaid with amethysts and a striped purple-and-silver cloak. His shield bore a unicorn sigil, and a spiral horn two feet long jutted up from the brow of his horsehead helm. Tyrion reined up to greet him. "Sir Flement."

Bosom friends and loyal retainers, Tyrion said. "Where will I find my lord father?"
“他们是我亲密的朋友和忠诚的部属，”提利昂道，“我父亲在哪儿？”
He has taken the inn at the crossroads for his quarters.
“他暂时将岔路口的旅店当成指挥总部。”
Tyrion laughed. The inn at the crossroads! Perhaps the gods were just after all. "I will see him at once."
提利昂不禁苦笑，路口那家旅店！或许天上诸神当真有其公理在。“我这就去见他。”
As you say, my lord. Sir Flement wheeled his horse about and shouted commands.
“遵命，大人。”佛列蒙爵士调转马头，一声令下，
