12 That Treasonous Traitor of Traitors

12. THAT TREASONOUS TRAITOR OF TRAITORS Alvin rushed out of the door in a demented frenzy, followed by the witch and the Alvinsmen with drawn swords. Leaving the cages with the captured Dragonmarkers openly whispering and then shouting to each other: 'What happened? They've got the last Lost Thing? But is Hiccup still alive? Or did he die? That treasonous traitor of traitors Snotface Snotlout betrayed us all…' That treasonous traitor of traitors, Snotface Snotlout, had not left the room with the others. He was still standing in the shadows. Even if you could have seen his face, you would not be able to read it. 'Boo!' 'BOOOOOOO!' The room reverberated with the sound of the shouting, furious Dragonmarkers rattling their cages, and it was dreadful indeed to hear their condemnation. 'TURNCOAT! TRAITOR! LOWEST OF THE LOW! DISGRACE TO YOUR TRIBE!' There was shame in Snotlout's flushed face as all around him his former Companions cursed his

12. 那个叛徒中的叛徒阿尔文疯狂地冲出了门，后面跟着女巫和拿着剑的阿尔文人。 离开笼子的时候，被抓的龙标记公开地窃窃私语，然后互相大喊：“发生了什么？” 他们找到了最后一件遗失的东西？ 但是Hiccup还活着吗？ 还是他死了？那个卖国贼中的卖国贼鼻涕脸鼻鼻子背叛了我们大家……”那个卖国贼中的卖国贼，鼻涕脸鼻鼻子，没有和其他人一起离开房间。 他仍然站在阴影里。 即使你能看到他的脸，你也看不出来。 “嘘!“BOOOOOOO !”房间里回荡着怒吼的龙人的声音，他们把笼子弄得嘎嘎作响，听到他们的谴责确实很可怕。 “背叛者!叛徒!最底层的！你们部落的耻辱！”鼻子鼻涨红了脸，羞愧难当，因为他以前的同伴都在咒骂他

name and howled furious contempt. He would never be trusted again. Not even Alvin and the witch trusted him. He had nowhere to go. It was a far greater disgrace for a Viking to lose his honour than to lose his beard. A single tear rolled down Snotlout's cheek. Once upon a lifetime ago, Snotlout had been Gobber the Belch's favourite pupil. Now it was Gobber the Belch's powerful bellow that reverberated around the room in rolling echoes, like the honk of an outraged walrus. 'YOU HAVE DISHONOURED THE NAME OF HOOLIGAN! YOU HAVE SHAMED THE GOOD NAME OF YOUR FATHER AND OF YOUR FATHER'S FATHER'S FATHER! SAGAS WILL BE TOLD OF YOUR IGNOMINY FOREVER!' roared Gobber. Snotlout stood perfectly still. And then out loud, he said to himself: 'Hiccup knew that I was going to betray him. He knew.' Only two Alvinsmen were left in the room. They

怒吼着，怒斥着。 他再也不会被信任了。 就连艾尔文和女巫都不信任他。 他无处可去。对维京人来说，失去荣誉比失去胡须更丢脸。 一滴眼泪顺着鼻子鼻子的脸颊滚落下来。 很久很久以前，鼻子怪是嗝伯最喜欢的学生。 现在是高伯的大吼，像愤怒的海象的叫声一样，在房间里回荡着滚滚的回声。 “你玷污了流氓的名声！”你玷污了你父亲和你父亲的父亲的父亲的好名声！你的耻辱将永远被传颂！戈伯吼道。 鼻鼻子一动不动地站着。 然后他大声对自己说：“小嗝嗝知道我要出卖他。 他知道。”房间里只剩下两个阿尔文家的人。 他们

were kneeling around the trapdoor, peering down into the sea, shivering and with swords drawn, as if that magical Hero, Hiccup the Outcast, might in some final act of superhuman sorcery rise up out of the sea and strike them down. With a quickness Gobber would have been proud of in the old days, Snotlout walked up behind them, removed the keys from their belts and shoved them into the water. The bellows from the cages of the Dragonmarkers died down. What was the traitor doing? Why had he attacked the Alvinsmen? What in Valhalla was going on? Snotlout ran to Gobber's cage and put the key in the lock. 'What are you doing, Snotlout, you villain?' cried Thuggory the Meathead in bewilderment. 'What does it look

他们跪在活地门的周围，凝视着大海，浑身发抖，拔出了剑，仿佛那个神奇的英雄，被放逐的小嗝嗝，会在最后一次超人的魔法表演中从海里冒出来，把他们打倒。 鼻子精走到他们身后，把钥匙从腰带上取下来，塞进了水里，速度之快，要是在过去，戈伯会引以为豪的。 从龙之标记的笼子里传来的吼声渐渐消失了。 叛徒在做什么？ 他为什么要攻击阿尔文森一家？ 瓦尔哈拉到底发生了什么？ 鼻子哥跑到戈伯的笼子里，把钥匙插进锁里。 “你在干什么，鼻涕精，你这个恶棍？”刽子手狼狈地叫道。 “这是什么样子？

like, O Dumbo-brain Meathead?' said Snotlout as the door to Gobber's cage swung open. 'I'm helping you to escape.' There was a murmur of astonishment along the cages. Vikings were strong Warriors, tough soldiers. But they were not all of them quick on the uptake. They might have been taught Spying and Treachery in their Pirate Classes, but most of them, to be honest, were not very good at it. What they really liked was to know exactly who their enemies were, preferably colour-coded, with the same helmets, or a similar style of furry cloak or something, to avoid confusion in battle. So this unexpected move on the part of Snotlout really flummoxed them. 'Hang on,' said Thuggory the Meathead plaintively, 'I thought you were on the other side?' 'Me too,' complained Grabbit of Grim. 'The witch thanked you and everything… Why are you freeing us? What's going on?' 'Look here, Snotlout,' demanded Boily of Bashem. 'Let's be absolutely clear. Are you on that rotter Alvin's side or not?' 'You won't believe me, whatever I say,' replied

比如，小傻瓜？嗅鼻子说，这时戈伯的笼子门打开了。 “我在帮你逃跑。”笼子里传出一阵惊讶的低语声。 维京人是强壮的战士，坚强的战士。 但并非所有人都能迅速领会。 他们可能在海盗课上学过间谍和背叛，但老实说，他们中的大多数人都不太擅长。 他们真正想要的是知道他们的敌人是谁，最好是用颜色编码，戴着相同的头盔，或者穿着类似风格的毛茸茸的斗篷之类的东西，以避免在战斗中混淆。 所以，“鼻涕虫”这一出人意料的举动真的让他们很困惑。 “等一下，”笨蛋萨戈里悲哀地说，“我还以为你在那边呢？“我也是。”格拉比特抱怨格里姆。 “女巫谢谢你，谢谢你做的一切……你为什么要放了我们？” 这是怎么呢？“听着，鼻子哥，”巴舍姆的博伊利问道。 “让我们明确一点。 你到底站不站在阿尔文那边？’‘不管我说什么，你都不会相信我的，’他回答

Snotlout. 'You already told me I'm a double-crossing worm.' Gobber's cage door was still hanging open. But the great giant within, with his arms crossed, refused to move. 'I don't accept help from Traitors, or disgraces to their Tribe!' roared Gobber furiously. 'Oh for Thor's sake, stay if you want to! You always were a stubborn old warthog,' muttered Snotlout. He tossed the keys through the door of the nearest cage so that the others could free themselves, and ran out of the room. The Dragonmarkers did not waste any further time trying to work out Snotlout's motivation, and passed the keys along from cage to cage. Psychology had never been their strong point. Fighting, however, was their forte. With cries of joy, the freed Dragonmarkers armed themselves with swords, javelins, spears, whatever they could find in the armoury. Even Gobber realised it might be better to swallow his pride and join the fray. He left his cage, shaking his head in confusion.

Snotlout。“你已经告诉过我，我是个奸诈的家伙。”戈伯的笼子门还开着。 但是里面的巨人，双臂交叉，拒绝移动。 “我不接受叛徒的帮助，也不接受他们部落的耻辱！”戈伯愤怒地吼道。 “哦，看在托尔的份上，如果你愿意，就留下吧！”“你一直是一头固执的老疣猪。”鼻子嘟囔着。 他把钥匙扔进最近的笼子的门里，这样其他的笼子就可以出来了，然后跑出了房间。 龙的标记员们没有再浪费时间去弄清楚鼻涕虫的动机，他们把钥匙从一个笼子传递到另一个笼子。 心理学从来不是他们的强项。 然而，战斗是他们的强项。 被释放的龙标记军欢呼雀跃，拿起剑、标枪、长矛，以及他们能找到的任何武器。 就连戈伯也意识到，放下自尊，加入战斗可能会更好。 他离开了笼子，困惑地摇着头。
