Will had been a hunter before he joined the Night’s Watch. Well, a poacher in truth. Mallister freeriders had caught him red-handed in the Mallisters’ own woods, skinning one of the Mallisters’ own bucks, and it had been a choice of putting on the black or losing a hand. No one could move through the woods as silent as Will, and it had not taken the black brotherslong to discover his talent.
在成為守夜人以前，威爾原本靠打獵為生。說難聽點(diǎn)，其實(shí)就是偷獵者。當(dāng)年他在梅利斯特家族的森林里偷獵公鹿，正忙著剝鹿皮，弄得一手血腥的時候，被受雇于梅利斯特家的自由騎手逮個正著。他若不選擇加入黑衫軍，就只有單手被砍一途。威爾潛行的本事是一等一的，在森林里無聲潛行等閑難及，黑衫軍的弟兄們果然很快也就發(fā)現(xiàn)了他的長處。

poacher， 偷獵者，這個單詞來源于poach這個動詞，指未經(jīng)允許在別人的領(lǐng)地上偷獵。這個動詞還可以指用沸水慢燉慢煨。

煮蛋boiled eggs是指未去殼直接煮的

去殼水煮的則叫poached eggs

而煎蛋則是fried egg (這里就一個蛋)

scrambled eggs 則是指炒蛋了。大家喜歡的番茄炒蛋叫做scrambled eggs with tomatoes

為了講各種蛋的作法，今天晚上只有吃雞蛋宴了。什么溏心的怎么說(☆???) 還嫌我吃得不夠多乜

soft yolk?好了關(guān)于各種蛋就講到這里，問我毛蛋的絕交~ (╬▔皿▔)

take sb long to do sth.花費(fèi)某人很長時間做某事。這里還可以用ages 或者是forever來表示很長時間。例如我花了很長時間給麻麻選禮物。It took me ages to find a perfect present for Mom. 這個世界上如果有誰能全年無休隨時隨地，甚至付出一切關(guān)愛，不指望拿一分報酬，還心甘情愿從事的這份事業(yè)，那就只有母親了。愿天下的母親都健康幸福。
