翻譯十年也不及的水平，是這樣的

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

長(cháng)夜將至，我從今開(kāi)始守望，至死方休。我將不娶妻、不封地、不生子。我將不戴寶冠，不爭榮寵。我將盡忠職守，生死於斯。我是黑暗中的利劍，長(cháng)城中的守衛。我是抵御寒冷的烈焰，破曉時(shí)分的光線(xiàn)，喚醒死者的號角，守護王國的鐵衛。我將生命與榮耀獻給守夜人，今夜如此，夜夜皆然。

——《冰與火之歌的守夜人》

若要隨彼女的心意，
今生與佛法的緣分斷絕了。
若要往空寂的山嶺間去云游，
就把彼女的心愿違背了。
If I reciprocate with the feelings of the girl,
My share in religion during this life will be deprived.
If I wander among the solitary mountain ranges,

It wound be contradictory to the wishes of the girl.

——《第六代達賴(lài)喇嘛倉央嘉措情歌》中第22首
