3 Hiccup Must Die

3. HICCUP MUST DIE The Wodensfang had in fact been right about the Dragon Furious sending a dragon to kill Hiccup. A few weeks earlier, in the endless night of winter on the little isle of Berk, where the air was so cold it stung the skin like bees, the Dragon Furious lay in the smoking ashy remains of what had once been a Hooligan village. The Dragon Furious was a Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus, and he was in command of the Dragon Rebellion. His aim was nothing less than the extinction of the entire human race. The Hooligans had escaped from the last terrible dragon attack, fleeing to the islands of the south which were still holding out against the relentless progress of the dragon invaders, but leaving the island of Berk to a triumphant Dragon Furious. The island of Berk was a new and important conquest for Furious. And yet… And yet there was one Hooligan who had not been among the Hooligans who escaped from the island on this day. One Hooligan whom the Dragon Furious and the entire Dragon Rebellion had been hunting without success, over seas and forests and

3. 小嗝嗝必死无疑。事实上，瓦登方关于暴龙派龙去杀死小嗝嗝的说法是正确的。 几个星期前，在博克小岛的漫漫冬夜，那里的空气冷得像蜜蜂一样刺痛皮肤，狂怒龙躺在冒烟的灰烬中，这里曾经是一个流氓村庄。 怒龙是一只海龙，统领着龙族的反抗军。 他的目的就是要灭绝整个人类。 流氓们躲过了最后一次可怕的恶龙袭击，逃到了南方的岛屿上，那里仍在抵抗恶龙侵略者的无情进攻，但却把伯克岛留给了胜利的暴龙。 伯克岛是盖世狂怒的重要新征服地。 可是……可是有一个流氓却不在这天从岛上逃出来的流氓之列。 一个流氓狂怒龙和整个龙族叛乱一直在寻找他，但没有成功，他们翻越了海洋，森林，还有

mountains, through ice caves and volcanoes… Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. So many times had the little Hooligan slipped through Furious's talons at the very last minute, double-backing, sneaking past, and streaking away on the back of his Windwalker, with the whole howling pack of dragons after him, like a tricksy little fox fleeing the hunt. Kneeling in front of the Dragon Furious was a rare Triple-header Deadly Shadow dragon. You could not see him, for a Deadly Shadow was one of those chameleon dragons whose skin can mirror any background or passing object, so at that moment he appeared to be invisible. 'Hiccup must die,' said the Dragon Furious to the Deadly Shadow. 'We have to catch him, or our cause is lost. Can you do it? Can you find and kill Hiccup where all others have failed?' Slowly the camouflaged skin of the Deadly Shadow turned back to its natural colour, and it was as if the terrifying creature was suddenly materializing out of thin air. You could see him in all his splendour now: gleaming, muscled, panther-like strength, frighteningly efficient-looking claws and jaws that could shoot forth both lightning bolts and flame.

山，穿过冰洞和火山…嗝嗝，可怕的黑线鳕三世。 这个小流氓有多少次在最后一刻从盖世狂怒的魔爪中逃脱，背对着他，偷偷溜过去，骑在他的风行者背上飞奔而去，后面跟着一群嚎叫的龙，就像一只狡猾的小狐狸逃离了追捕。 跪在狂怒龙面前的是一条罕见的三头致命暗影龙。 你看不见他，因为死亡之影是一种变色龙，它的皮肤可以反映任何背景或经过的物体，所以在那一刻，它似乎是隐形的。 “小嗝嗝必须死。”狂怒的恶龙对死影说。 “我们必须抓住他，否则我们的事业就失败了。 你能做到吗？你能在别人都失败的地方找到并杀死小嗝嗝吗？”慢慢地，被伪装的死亡之影的皮肤又恢复了原来的颜色，就好像这个可怕的生物突然从稀薄的空气中出现了一样。 你现在可以看到他的全貌了：闪闪发光，肌肉发达，像黑豹一样强壮，爪子和下颚看起来非常高效，既能射出闪电，也能射出火焰。

The three heads of the Shadow smiled. The poison-ducts in his six cheeks pulsed yellow for a second. Out of their secret hiding-places crept a bright, slitting talon or two that shone for a second and then slid back. 'My lord Furious,' said the middle head of the Deadly Shadow dragon. 'Once, my brothers and I loved a human. And this human died of grief because of the actions of her human family. Now we hate the human with a hatred strong as acid. If you ask us to kill him, the boy is as good as dead already.' 'Ah,' said the Dragon Furious with satisfaction. 'I knew I was right to choose you, for you are so like myself. I needed one who hates like I do, and who will not weaken, for the Hiccup boy, with his antics releasing all the dragon-traps, has even been gaining sympathy among the weaker members of my Rebellion. Follow him, and kill him. Hiccup must die!' 'And Hiccup shall die!' hissed the three heads of the Deadly Shadow. He folded back his wings like a bat, and leapt into the air, turning white as the blizzard as soon as he hit the sky. The Dragon Furious watched him go, the quiet snow falling.

影子的三个脑袋笑了。 他的六颊上的毒管一阵发黄。 从它们的秘密藏身之处爬出一两个亮亮的、劈啪作响的爪子，闪了一秒钟，然后又滑了回去。 “狂怒陛下。”死亡影龙中间的头说。 “有一次，我和我的兄弟们爱上了一个人类。 这个人类因为她的人类家庭的行为而死于悲伤。 现在我们恨人类，恨得像酸一样强烈。 如果你要我们杀了他，那孩子已经死了。“啊！”暴怒的巨龙满意地说。 “我知道我选择你是对的，因为你太像我了。 我需要一个像我一样充满仇恨的人，一个不会被削弱的人，因为嗝嗝男孩，用他滑稽的动作释放了所有的龙陷阱，甚至在我的反抗军中较弱的成员中获得了同情。 跟着他，杀了他。小嗝嗝必须死！“小嗝嗝会死的！”死影的三个脑袋嘶嘶地说。 他像蝙蝠一样收起翅膀，跃入空中，一碰到天空就变得像暴风雪一样白。 怒龙目送他离去，静静的雪花飘落。
