4 One of Hiccup’s Less Brilliant Plans

4. ONE OF HICCUP'S LESS BRILLIANT PLANS A few weeks after losing the map, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third was lying crouched in the reeds on the edges of a tiny little island right in the middle of the bay that stood in front of Prison Darkheart– the bay called The Dragons' Graveyard. With him were the Windwalker, the Wodensfang and Toothless. They were crouching down beside Hiccup, wings shivering, cats' eyes peering fearfully over the ferns at the horror of the landscape all around them. 'You are n-n-not going in there…' squeaked Toothless, pointing a horrified wing at Prison Darkheart.

4. 小嗝嗝的一个不太妙的计划丢失地图几个星期后，小嗝嗝可怕的黑线鳕三世蜷缩在一个小岛边缘的芦苇中，这个小岛就在“黑心监狱”前面的海湾中央——这个海湾被称为“龙的墓地”。 和他在一起的还有风行者、巫登毒蛇和无牙怪。 他们蹲在小嗝嗝身边，翅膀颤抖着，猫的眼睛越过蕨类植物，恐惧地凝视着周围可怕的景色。 “你——你——你不能进去……”无牙尖声说，惊恐地用侧翼指着黑心监狱。

'P-p-please tell Toothless you are not going in there...' 'I don't see that we have any choice,' said Hiccup bitterly, 'now that my mother has betrayed us. I must say, I know she's always been a bit absent, but I never thought she'd actually fight against me.' Hiccup swallowed. The whole world was burnt to ashes, and here he was, feeling like crying over a wayward mother. But there was no other explanation. Valhallarama must have got her Phantom to carry Grimbeard the Ghastly's map to the witch because the witch was now in Darkheart, hunting for the Dragon Jewel. And so too were the Meathead, Murderous, Visithug and Hooligan Tribes. Hiccup had seen all the ships sail in over the past two weeks. Which meant that Hiccup's friend Fishlegs was in there, and Hiccup's father, Stoick the Vast. And Hiccup was determined to get them out, now he knew where they were. It's my fault they're in there, so I'm going to get them out… 'Oh shiver my t-t-talons!' wept poor Toothless, so terrified he fell off Hiccup's shoulder and into

“求求你，求求你，告诉无牙你不能进去……“我看我们没有别的选择，”小嗝嗝痛苦地说，“既然我妈妈背叛了我们。 我得说，我知道她总是有点缺席，但我从没想过她会真的和我作对。”打嗝吞下。 整个世界都被烧成了灰烬，而他却在这里，想为一个任性的母亲哭泣。 但没有其他解释。 瓦尔哈拉拉马一定是让她的魅影带着幽灵魔王Grimbeard的地图去找女巫，因为女巫现在正在黑暗之心寻找龙之宝石。 同样的还有笨蛋部落、杀人部落、流氓部落和流氓部落。 在过去的两个星期里，嗝嗝看到所有的船都驶来了。 这意味着小嗝嗝的朋友鱼腿在里面，还有小嗝嗝的父亲，巨人斯托伊克。 小嗝嗝现在知道了他们在哪里，他决心要把他们救出来。 它们在里面是我的错，所以我要把它们弄出来……哦，颤抖我的爪子！可怜的无牙哭了起来，他吓坏了，从嗝嗝的肩膀上摔了下去

the sea Hiccup was crouching in. 'Look!' He pointed a wing at all the dragon corpses lying in the sea around them. 'The Dragon F-f-furious has been trying to get in every night! How are you going to get in if even he hasn't managed it!'

小嗝嗝蹲在海里。 “看!”他用翅膀指着周围海里的龙的尸体。 “火龙——狂怒——每天晚上都想进来！”连他都进不去，你怎么进去呢！”

At one end of the bay was the gigantic prison that formed the only entrance to the great walled hunting-grounds of the Amber Slavelands. The walls that encircled the Amber Slavelands were not, perhaps, as long as the Great Wall of China, but they were certainly much higher, and a similarly miraculous construction of the Ancient World. In front of the prison, the tide was slowly sinking and gradually revealing the grotesque and pathetic shapes of thousands of dead dragons. Ancient dragon skeletons jutted from the waters of the bay like airy melancholy cathedrals, with seagulls shrieking through the long-dead ribcages. And there were fresh dragon corpses too, smelling to high heaven, and leaking green blood into the water, because every night now, the prison was attacked by some of the most ferocious forces of the Dragon Rebellion.

海湾的一端是一座巨大的监狱，这是通往琥珀奴隶地高墙环绕的狩猎场的唯一入口。 环绕琥珀奴隶地的城墙也许没有中国的长城那么长，但它们肯定要高得多，也是古代世界类似的奇迹建筑。 监狱前，潮水慢慢下沉，逐渐露出成千上万条死龙的奇形怪状。 古老的龙骨架从海湾的海水中伸出来，像通风的忧郁的大教堂，海鸥在死去已久的胸腔里尖叫。 这里还有新鲜的龙的尸体，臭气熏天，绿血渗进了水里，因为现在每天晚上，监狱都会遭到龙族叛乱中最凶猛的部队的袭击。

'This is a terrible plan! The witch and Alvin will catch you!' squeaked Toothless, in an agony of fear. 'Nobody's going to catch us,' said Hiccup soothingly. 'We'll just sneak in, see if we can find my father and Fishlegs and the Jewel, and sneak out again. Us Outcasts are good at sneaking. And if anybody spots us, I've got the Slavemark, so they'll just think I'm another slave. 'And also,' he raised an eyebrow, 'I'm going to be wearing my cunning disguise.' Hiccup had changed quite a bit after six months of living as an Outcast. He was thinner, taller, and his voice had deepened, and was unsteadily sliding all the time between a gruff and a squeak, so that was a disguise in itself. Now he took off his helmet, and brought out a rag from his rucksack and wound it round his left eye like an eye patch. He fixed a piece of pink-ish candle wax right on the tip of his nose, and it made a rather convincing wart. And he smeared himself with some Stinkdragon stink, that he had been keeping in a little

“这是一个可怕的计划！”女巫和阿尔文会抓住你的！无牙尖叫着，极度恐惧。 “没人会抓住我们的，”小嗝嗝安慰地说。 “我们就溜进去，看看能不能找到我爸爸、鱼腿和珍宝，然后再溜出去。 我们这些弃儿很擅长偷偷摸摸。 如果有人发现我们，我有奴隶标记，他们会以为我是另一个奴隶。 “还有，”他扬起眉毛，“我要穿上我那狡猾的伪装。”经过六个月的流浪生活，小嗝嗝改变了很多。 他更瘦了，更高了，声音也低沉了，一直在粗声粗气和吱吱声之间摇摆不定，所以这本身就是一种伪装。 这时他摘下头盔，从背包里拿出一块破布，像眼罩一样缠在左眼上。 他把一块粉红色的蜡烛蜡固定在鼻尖上，形成了一个相当逼真的疣。 他在自己身上抹上了一些他一直藏在里面的臭龙的臭味

pot, after carefully extracting it from a hibernating Stinkdragon in the Flaming Forest a couple of days earlier. The smell would stop people coming too close. 'How do I look?' Toothless made his yuckiest 'yucky' face. 'T-ttoothless not want to come near you. Is very, very yucky.' 'Yes, well you don't have to come, Toothless, if you don't want to. It may be better if you didn't, because it's very dangerous for dragons in there,' said Hiccup. 'And I want you to be safe. You can stay here with the Windwalker.' The Windwalker protested, 'What do you mean, stay here? I'm coming too.' But Hiccup shook his head. 'I'm afraid you can't come, Windwalker. The Wodensfang and Toothless can hide down my waistcoat. But you're far too big to hide and they'll kill you if they spot you.' The Windwalker shut his eyes and put his tail between his legs. All of his spines drooped.

几天前，他在火焰森林小心翼翼地从一只冬眠的臭龙身上提取了它。 这种气味会阻止人们靠近。 “我看起来怎么样？”无牙做出了他最恶心的“恶心”脸。 “没牙的不想靠近你。” 非常非常难吃。“是的，好吧，如果你不想来，你不必来，无牙。” “你最好不要去，因为那里对龙来说很危险。”希卡普说。 “我希望你平安无事。 你可以留在这里和风行者在一起。”风行者抗议道：“你什么意思，呆在这儿？ 我也要去。”但是小嗝嗝摇了摇头。 “恐怕你不能来，风行者。 巫妖和无牙可以藏在我的马甲下面。 但是你太大了，躲不起来，如果他们发现你，会杀了你的。”风行者闭上眼睛，把尾巴夹在两腿之间。 他所有的脊椎都下垂了。
