" Won't the string be perished, Su? " said Peter.

“弦不会已失去弹性了吧，苏？”彼得问。

Then Susan went to the top of the steps and strung her bow.

下面轮到苏珊。她走到台阶顶部，拉起弦。

There was a great deal of angry muttering and tightening of bowstrings around them.

四周的马人发出一片低沉的怒吼，拉紧了弦。

The first thing to be done was to bend the bow in order to attch the string.

要做第一件事就是弯，装上弦。

" The Night's Watch" ? Theon let the bow unbend slowly and pointed the arrow at the ground.

" 当守夜人？" 席恩缓缓松开弦，箭尖指地。

In a moment she had bent the bow and then she gave one little pluck to the string.

她立即拉开，轻轻弹了一下弦。

Then she unstrung the bow again and slung the quiver at her side.

随后，她放松了弦，把箭壶挎在身边。

It twanged: a chirruping twang that vibrated through the whole room.

嗡的一声。弦的声响在整个屋子里回荡。

Theon bent the bow, drawing the grey goose feathers back to his cheek. " Care to make a wager" ?

席恩拉满弦，灰色的鹅毛羽翎拉到颊边。" 打赌？"

I have a vague remembrance of his gaunt limbs, his earnest face and the rise and fall of his bow.

我直到现在还能模糊地记得他那瘦削的手，的脸和弦上下的动作呢。

" Notch, " said Blane, and twenty black arrows were pulled from as many quivers, and notched to as many bowstrings.

" 搭箭。" 班恩道，二十支黑色的羽箭沉默地从二十个箭袋中抽出，搭上二十根弦。

It ran up with his weight, tight as a bow-string, and swift as the arrow it speeds.

它带着他的体重跑了上去，紧得像弦，又像箭一样飞快。

This tie works exactly like a bowstring, balancing the arch's thrust forces with its resistance to tension.

这种系带的工作原理与弦完全相同，可以平衡的推力及其抗拉力。

" Throw the apple, " urged Alleras the Sphinx. He slipped an arrow from his quiver and nocked it to his bowstring.

" 扔啊，" 外号" 斯芬克斯" 的拉蕾萨催促。他从箭囊里抽出一支箭，搭上弦。

Twang went the string. It was an excellent shot. The tiny apple shook as the arrow passed, and a leaf came fluttering down.

弦发出铛的一声。这一箭射得很漂亮。箭经过的时候，小苹果晃了晃，旁边的一片树叶飘然而落。

Before venturing the last arrow, Ben very prudently examined the string of his bow; and, as he pulled it to try its strength, it snapped.

在大胆射出最后一支箭前，本小心翼翼地检查他的弦，就在他把张开准备试试它的弦是否绷紧时，弦啪地断了。

Jon drew himself up, taut as a bowstring. " And if it did trouble me, what might I do, bastard as I am" ?

琼恩站起来，全身紧绷犹如弦，" 如果这些真能对我造成困扰，我这个私生子又该怎么办呢？"

He himself awaited her coming — he who had never left her thoughts since that first arrow came to her from his bow-string.

他本人在等待她的到来——自从他的第一支箭从他的弦射向她以来， 他就从未离开过她的思绪。

His dark eyes and swarthy skin and Paynim features suited the costume exactly: he looked the very model of an Eastern emir, an agent or a victim of the bowstring.

他的黑眼睛、黝黑的皮肤和佩尼姆的特征非常适合这套服装：他看起来非常像东方埃米尔的典范，无论是间谍还是弦的受害者。

Across the narrow canyon crouched and crept the two outwitted brothers of the girl-wife at his side; their arrows were on their bow-strings, their hearts on fire with hatred and vengeance.

在狭窄的峡谷对面，他身边的女妻子的两个兄弟蹲伏着爬行着。他们的箭在他们的弦上，他们的心燃烧着仇恨和复仇。
