【书摘】
长夜将至，我从今开始守望，
Night gathers, and now my watch begins,
至死方休。
It shall not end until my death.
我将不娶妻、不封地、不生子。
I shall take no wife, hold no lands father no children.
我将不戴宝冠，不争荣宠。
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.
我将尽忠职守，生死於斯。
I shall live and die at my post.
我是黑暗中的利剑，
I am the sword in the darkness.
长城上的守卫。
I am the watcher on the walls.
我是抵御寒冷的烈焰，
I am the fire that burns against the cold.
破晓时分的光线，
the light that brings the dawn.
唤醒眠者的号角，
the horn that wakes the sleepers,
守护王国的坚盾。
the shield that guards the realms of men.
我将生命与荣耀献给守夜人，
I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch.
今夜如此，夜夜皆然。
For this night and all the nights to come.
——《权利的游戏·守夜人誓词》
