4 Two Red Eyes, Suspended in the Air

4. TWO RED EYES, SUSPENDED IN THE AIR There were two red eyes, suspended in the air, right in front of where the Deadly Shadow was hovering. Red eyes, narrowed to slits, with the pupils slightly shivering. Hiccup blinked, his brain unable to comprehend the sight of two red eyes floating before him. In the heat of the Dragon Rebellion chase he had forgotten that the humans– Alvin the Treacherous and his mother, Excellinor the witch– were also looking for Hiccup, and the witch was using Vampire Spydragons to hunt and spy for her.

4. 两只红眼睛，悬在空中，就在死亡阴影盘旋的地方前面。 红色的眼睛，眯成一条缝，瞳孔微微颤抖。 嗝嗝眨了眨眼睛，他的大脑无法理解两只红眼睛在他面前漂浮的景象。 在龙族叛乱的激烈追击中，他忘记了人类——奸细阿尔文和他的母亲女巫埃斯伯利诺——也在寻找小嗝嗝，而女巫正在用吸血鬼spydragon为她打猎和监视。

Hiccup had never seen a Vampire Spydragon before, but he knew they were chameleons that could turn every part of themselves invisible– apart from their glowing red eyes. Slowly the rest of the Vampire Spydragon materialised around those two red eyes hovering in front of Hiccup.

小嗝嗝以前从未见过吸血鬼Spydragon，但他知道它们是变色龙，可以把自己的每一部分都隐形——除了它们发光的红眼睛。 慢慢地，吸血鬼Spydragon的其余部分出现在Hiccup面前那双红眼睛的周围。

It was a ghastly shrieking creature, with the head of a vampire bat and the body of an enormous monkey. For one second Hiccup saw this vision, and then there was a searing pain in his left arm. He looked down in confusion, as if it were happening to someone else, to see the head of the Vampire Spydragon attached to his arm. The creature did not have time to latch on properly with its clamping jaws before the Deadly Shadow turned its head and tore the Vampire Spydragon off Hiccup, throwing the bloodsucker into the air like a dog tearing a rat off its back.

这是一个可怕的尖叫的生物，有着吸血蝙蝠的头和巨大的猴子的身体。 小嗝嗝看到这个景象的那一瞬间，左臂就感到一阵灼痛。 他困惑地低下头，看到吸血鬼Spydragon的头挂在他的手臂上，仿佛这是发生在别人身上的事。 这个生物还没来得及用它的钳口紧紧咬住，致命的阴影就转过头来，把吸血鬼Spydragon从Hiccup身上撕下来，把这个吸血鬼扔到空中，就像狗把老鼠从背上撕下来一样。

One second the screaming monster was visible– the next it faded into invisibility again, red eyes descending into the gorge. Before Hiccup could move, or think, the flames of the Dragon Furious reached the forest. 'I WILL HUNT HIM DOOOOOOOWNNN!' A great horizontal wall of fire blasted across the night sky with such white-hot heat that it sheared off the top of the mountain behind the underground treehouse. The entire summit, tons and tons of rock and boulders, plummeted into the gorge below. The three mouths of the Deadly Shadow

前一秒还能看见尖叫的怪物，下一秒又消失不见了，红色的眼睛垂向峡谷。 小嗝嗝还没来得及动弹，也没来得及思考，狂怒龙的火焰就烧到了森林里。 “我要去追捕他！”一股巨大的水平火墙以白热的热量划过夜空，把地下树屋后面的山顶都剪掉了。 整个峰顶，数以吨计的岩石和巨石，跌落到下面的峡谷中。 死亡之影的三张嘴

screamed simultaneously as the fire poured on and on over their heads, and in a few swift flaps it shot through the ivy-draped entrance to the underground treehouse. Just in time. 'He's been hit… he's been hit…' Hiccup heard a shaking Fishlegs say as he helped Hiccup down from the Deadly Shadow's back, and because Hiccup was nearly fainting it sounded like Fishlegs was talking from a long distance away.

大火在他们头顶上越烧越高，他们同时尖叫起来，几下翅膀就迅速穿过爬满常春藤的地下树屋入口。 来得正是时候。“他被击中了……他被击中了……”嗝嗝扶着嗝嗝从死影的背上下来，听到鱼腿颤抖着说，因为嗝嗝快晕过去了，所以听起来像是从很远的地方在说话。

Outside, the Dragon Furious, full of vengeful hope, finally reached the place where the boy had last been seen. But his prey had disappeared, and Furious had been robbed of his victory once again. The Dragon Furious exploded in an Armageddon of anger, and as the Dragon Rebellion's fires of rage torched the battered remains of the landscape below, a trembling Toothless, Stormfly and Hogfly flattened themselves against the walls of the hideout around the entrance. Wodensfang popped his little ancient head above the hole to peer out, and swiftly ducked down again. 'He won't find us in here,' wheezed Wodensfang, trying to reassure himself as much as anyone else. 'He won't find us… He's hunted us before and he won't find us now…'

外面，怒龙满怀复仇的希望，终于来到了男孩最后一次出现的地方。 但是他的猎物消失了，狂怒又一次被剥夺了胜利。 巨龙狂怒号爆发出一场愤怒的世界末日大决战，当龙反抗军的怒火燃烧着下面残破的大地时，一只颤抖着的无牙苍蝇、暴风蝇和霍格蝇倒在入口附近藏身处的墙上。 沃登方把他那苍老的小脑袋探出洞口向外张望，然后又迅速地蹲下身子。 “他不会发现我们在这里的。”沃登斯方喘着气说，他想让自己和其他人都放心。 “他找不到我们的……他以前追捕过我们，现在也找不到我们了……”
