a hundred miles north of the Wall

在絕境長城以北百里

這個短語是地理位置的描述,在 GoT 裡,「長城以北」特指危險、蠻荒的區域。這裡用 `a hundred miles north of the Wall` 強調了距離之遠和環境之惡劣,暗示了生存的艱難。

and his guts, his lungs and his heart, all fried in his own fat.
Well, when you're a hundred miles north of the Wall
and you ate your last meal a week ago, you leave nothing for the wolves.
