House Stark 史塔克家族

翻譯：永清
The Starks of Winterfell trace their descent to the First Men in the Age of Heroes. The family's founder was Brandon the Builder who, in the aftermath of the Long Night, helped establish the Night's Watch.
臨冬城史塔克家族的族系可以追溯到英雄紀元時期的先民。這個家族的鼻祖「築城者」布蘭登，在長夜籠罩之中，協助創立了守夜人軍團。
Legend has it, he enlisted the aid of giants and the powerful magic of the Children of the Forest to raise the mighty Wall, which has protected the realm for generations. He went on to build the ancestral seat of Winterfell, and reigned as the first King in the North.
傳說，在巨人族和擁有強大法力的森林之子的幫助下，布蘭登建造了絕境長城，庇佑了疆域上的一代又一代人。他建造了臨冬城，世襲於此，成為北境的第一位王。
The Starks reigned as kings for thousands of years, even withstanding the invasion of the Andals. As the southern kingdoms fell, and the Children were driven away, the North stood strong - maintaining its religious customs and its way of life.
在之後長達幾千年中，史塔克家族都是北境之王，甚至抵禦住了安達爾人的入侵。隨著南境王國的衰落，森林之子被驅逐，北境日益強大，保持著自己的宗教傳統和生活方式。
Eventually, the reign of the Kings of Winter came to an end with the coming of Aegon the Conqueror.
最終，隨著「徵服者」伊耿的入侵，北境之王的統治終結。
After Aegon and his dragons destroyed the armies of the Reach and the Rock, at the Field of Fire, King Torrhen Stark bent the knee and swore fealty to the Targaryen dynasty in order to spare the destruction of Winterfell and his people.
在怒火燎原之戰中，伊耿和他的龍摧毀了河灣地的軍隊，北境之王託倫·史塔克為了赦免臨冬城的百姓，向坦格利安王朝屈膝臣服。
He was forever after known as "the King Who Knelt". As a reward for his submission, Aegon named Torrhen Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North.
他永遠成為了為人所知的「降服王」。作為投降的獎勵，伊耿封託倫·史塔克為臨冬城主和北境守護。
The Starks take great pride in their history and traditions. It is one of the few noble houses that still keeps the Old Gods, a sacred weirwood lives large in Winterfell's godswood.
史塔克家族為他們的歷史和傳統引以為豪。他們也是為數不多的信奉舊神的顯赫家族之一，舊神存在於臨冬城神木林中的魚梁木。
Its ancestral sword, Ice, was forged in ancient Valyria and passed down through the generations. House Stark remains steadfast in its support of the Night's Watch, even as the once illustrious order has fallen on hard times.
他們祖傳的寶劍「寒冰」鑄造於古老的瓦雷利亞，世代相傳。史塔克家族一直忠實擁護守夜人軍團，即使在光輝不再的困難時期。
Much like their sigil, the grey direwolf, House Stark is the stuff of legend in the North and throughout the Seven Kingdoms...and their family words, "Winter is Coming " serve as a reminder of their beginnings...in the wake of the Long Night and a grim portent of things to come.
就像他們的族徽，一隻灰色的冰原狼，史塔克家族是北境和七國的傳奇…他們的族語「凜冬將至」時刻保持警惕…長夜和酷寒將至。
