an army of
一群 / 一大批
`an army of` 字面意思雖然是「一支軍隊」,但在口語中常引申為「一大群」或「一大批」某類人或物,帶有貶義或無奈。這裡指的是守夜人已經變成了一群散漫的年輕人和疲憊的老兵,暗示其戰鬥力的衰退。
The Night's Watch is the only thing standing between realm and what lies beyond.
And it has become an army of undisciplined boys and tired old men.
There are less than a thousand of us now.
