驯龙高手 · 10 How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel
PROLOGUE BY HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK III Courage. You, dear reader, will need courage to read on. This is NOT the last of my memoirs. But the story has become darker now, so dark that I need all my courage just to write it. I am looking back to that time when I was fourteen years old and an Outcast. The Red-Rage had taken over all the dragons in the land and the Dragon Rebellion had begun. The Great War between humans and dragons had started. The Vikings were being led by that dreadful villain, Alvin the Treacherous, guided by his even-more-dreadful mother, the Witch Excellinor. The Dragon Furious was in charge of the dragon forces, and his aim was nothing less than the extinction of the entire Viking race. And the Dragon Furious was winning. The Vikings' only hope was for a new King to be crowned King of the Wilderwest. A King who, according to ancient prophecy, would have all ten of the King's Lost Things.
序言嗝嗝可怕的黑线鳕III勇气。 亲爱的读者,你需要勇气继续往下读。 这不是我的最后一本回忆录。 但是故事现在变得更黑暗了,黑暗到我需要所有的勇气来写它。 我回想起我十四岁的时候,一个被遗弃的人。 “红怒”控制了这片土地上所有的龙,龙族叛乱开始了。 人类和龙之间的大战开始了。 维京人被那个可怕的恶棍,背信信义的阿尔文,以及他更可怕的母亲,女巫侯爵所领导。 狂暴之龙掌管着龙的力量,他的目标就是消灭整个维京人。 龙怒队赢了。 维京人唯一的希望就是新国王加冕西部荒野之王。 根据古代的预言,他将拥有国王的十件失物。
Nine of the Lost Things had been found. Only the Dragon Jewel, the most important, remained Lost. The Dragon Jewel had the power to destroy dragons for ever… it was the only thing the Dragon Furious was afraid of. Alvin the Treacherous had eight of the Lost Things. I, Hiccup the Outcast, had only one: my little hunting-dragon called Toothless. But I also had Grimbeard the Ghastly's map that showed the way to where the Jewel was hidden. And so I, 'Enemy Traitor Number One', was being hunted through the Archipelago, by both humans and dragons alike. A proclamation calling for my death hung on hundreds of burnt-out tree trunks. My fourteen-year-old self was all alone apart from three dragon companions. My Tribe had been driven out of their home on Berk by the Dragon Rebellion. My father Stoick and my friend Fishlegs had been turned into slaves and sent to the Amber Slavelands.
丢失的东西中有九件找到了。 只有最重要的龙珠还没找到。 龙珠拥有永远毁灭龙的力量……这是龙怒唯一害怕的东西。 背信弃义的阿尔文有八件失物。 我,被放逐的小嗝嗝,只有一条:我的小猎狗,叫无牙龙。 但我也有Grimbeard那张幽灵的地图那张地图指明了宝石藏在哪里。 因此,我,“头号叛徒敌人”,在群岛上被人类和龙追捕。 数百棵被烧毁的树干上挂着要我死的公告。 十四岁的我,除了三个龙同伴之外,是孤身一人。 我的部落被龙族起义军赶出了伯克岛的家园。 我的父亲斯托伊克和我的朋友鱼腿已经变成了奴隶,被送到了琥珀奴隶地。
You see why I call these my darkest times? I had to have hope that things would turn out well in the end, that the small things and the happiness of peacetime would return. I had to remember this through the teeth and fire and talons. I had to have Courage.
你知道我为什么说这是我最黑暗的时刻了吧? 我不得不抱有希望,希望事情最终会有好的结果,希望那些小事和和平时期的快乐会回来。 我必须通过牙齿,火焰和爪子来记住这一点。 我必须有勇气。
THE PROPHECY OF THE KING'S LOST THINGS The Dragontime is coming And only a King can save you now. The King shall be the Champion of Champions. You shall know the King By the King's Lost Things. A fang-free dragon, my second-best sword, My Roman shield, An arrow-from-the-land-that-does-not-exist, The heart's stone, the key-that-opens-all-locks, The ticking-thing, the Throne, the Crown. And last and best of all the ten, The Dragon Jewel shall save all men.
国王失物的预言龙的时代即将来临现在只有国王能救你。 国王将是冠军中的冠军。 你可以从国王的失物中认出他来。 没有尖牙的龙,我第二好的剑,我的罗马盾牌,来自不存在国度的箭,心之石,打开所有锁的钥匙,滴答作响的东西,王座,王冠。 最后也是最重要的,龙珠将拯救所有人。
