1.The gates swung apart, the bridge fell, the portcullis was drawn up.

大打开，桥梁倒塌，吊闸升起。机翻

2.Backup came in the form of a portcullis, a heavy metal or wooden grille that could be lowered to block the entrance.

备用防御措施是吊闸，一种可以放下来阻挡入口重金属或木制格栅。

3.But in the end they stood before the castle gate. The portcullis was up and the gate open.

不过他们到底还是站城堡大口了。城堡吊闸吊上去了，大开着。

4.The gates stood open to him, the rusted iron portcullis drawn up. The guards atop the battlements watched with strangers' eyes as Theon Greyjoy came home at last.

大人，他五年前就死了城大开，生锈闸早已升起，城墙上卫兵用陌生眼光打量着回家席恩·葛雷乔伊。

5.The iron teeth of the portcullis were drawn down over the mouth of the gate; and as a beast crouched on the mountain-side, the fortress guarded its prey.

闸齿向下拉过口。这堡垒就像一头蹲伏野兽，守卫着它猎物。机翻

6.Guarding the crossing to Wales in the Middle Ages the bridge once had towers and drawbridges and a portcullis as seen here on one of the information boards.

这桥中世纪守卫着通往威尔士渡口，曾经有塔楼、吊桥和吊闸，如信息板上所示。机翻

7." Yes. Beneath. But we can go no farther. The portcullis goes all the way to the bottom. And the bars are too closely spaced for even a child to squeeze through" .

" 是。我们城堡下方，但无法继续前进。前方闸从天顶一直插到水底，上条十分紧密，就连小孩子也挤不过。"

8." Bring you, I was told. You are brought. Now I return to our god's business" . Aeron Greyjoy turned his horse and rode slowly out beneath the muddy spikes of the portcullis.

" 我任务是把你带来，现你来了，我便要回去为淹神服务。" 伊伦·葛雷乔伊调转马头，缓缓从闸满是泥泞尖刺之下穿过，骑了出去。

9.The rattle of chains heralded the raising of the portcullis. Down in the yard below, a rider in a winged helm urged his well-lathered horse under the spikes. " Summon the king" ! he called.

链卡嗒声宣告闸正被升起。下方院落，一位带着有翼头盔骑手猛力催促着他那匹气喘吁吁坐骑。" 有急事禀报王上！" 他高喊。

10.Uncomfortably, he remembered Osha's words. He's marching the wrong way, he thought. For an instant he wanted to gallop after him and shout a warning, but when Robb vanished beneath the portcullis, the moment was gone.

他不安地想起欧莎所说话，他走错方向了。一时之间，他竟想纵马追上，高声警告，但罗柏很快消失闸之外，时机转瞬即逝。

11.Bronn snorted laughter and went his way, while Tyrion struggled up the serpentine steps. As he limped across the outer yard, he heard the portcullis rattling up. His sister and a large party were waiting by the main gate.

波隆噗嗤一笑，转头走开，提利昂则挣扎着爬上螺旋梯。当他瘸着脚穿过广场时，听见闸升起声音，姐姐正带着大队人马准备出。

12.Hurriedly, Arya ran down the twisting steps, her chores forgotten. She heard the rattle of chains as the portcullis was slowly lowered, its spikes sinking deep into the ground … and then another sound, a shriek of pain and fear.

艾莉亚放下手中工作，沿着弯曲楼梯，飞奔而下。她一跑一听见链哗哗作响，闸缓缓放下，底部尖刺插入地面… … 最后是一声尖叫，充满痛苦，充满恐惧。
