5 The Bite of A Vampire Spydragon

5. THE BITE OF A VAMPIRE SPYDRAGON 'I saw it,' said Snotlout, quietly. 'She showed me in here, but just before she climbed in after me, a Vampire Spydragon swooped down out of nothing and nowhere and it took her.' 'Windwalker! Is this true?' Hiccup turned to the Windwalker, who was lying on the floor, his long shaggy body riddled with Razorwing stings. Hiccup had some vague desperate hope that Windwalker might deny it, but Windwalker gave a miserable nod, and continued that low, keening whining. 'No…' whispered Hiccup. 'Oh no…' He put his arms around his thin, white trembling body, trying to comfort himself. His arm sang with pain. ALL MY FAULT. Camicazi had trusted Hiccup's instinct over her own. She hadn't agreed with his decision, but trustingly, loyally, she had followed Hiccup into battle, and now she had been lost.

5. “我看见了。”鼻鼻子平静地说。 “她带我进去，但就在她跟着我爬进去之前，一只吸血鬼Spydragon突然从天而降，把她抓走了。“疾风步!这是真的吗？”嗝嗝转向风行者，他躺在地板上，毛茸茸的长身体上布满了剃刀翼的刺。 嗝嗝隐约绝望地希望风行者会否认，但风行者可怜地点了点头，继续低声哀嚎。 “不……”嗝嗝低声说。“哦，不……”他用双臂搂住自己瘦弱、苍白、颤抖的身体，试图安慰自己。 他的手臂痛得像唱歌一样。都是我的错。 卡米卡齐相信小嗝嗝的直觉，而不是自己的直觉。 她不同意他的决定，但她信任地、忠诚地跟着小嗝嗝上了战场，现在她迷路了。

What had the Wodensfang said? 'If you try and save Snotlout,' he had warned, 'you will put us all in peril. By being kind to Snotlout, you may be endangering the lives of those who are loyal to you, who never betrayed you. Sometimes kindness can be cruelty. These are the kind of difficult decisions that a Leader has to take.' 'Well, what do you expect?' said the cold, hard voice of Snotlout contemptuously. 'You made a complete birds' nest of the entire operation. You woke up the dragons of the Dragon Rebellion. The noise probably told the witch's Vampire Spydragons that we were there. What did you think was going to happen?' Fishlegs was trembling with heaving anger, and he turned on Snotlout. 'We were only out there in the first place to save your poxy little life! Why didn't you at least try and go after her, Snotlout? She risked her life for you, and you

沃登方说了什么？ “如果你想救鼻涕鼻子，”他警告说，“你会把我们大家都置于危险之中。 如果你对鼻子好，你可能会危及那些忠于你的人的生命，他们从来没有背叛过你。 有时善良也可能是残忍的。 这些都是领导者必须做出的艰难决定。“那么，你还指望什么呢？”鼻子鼻子那冰冷、冷酷的声音轻蔑地说。 你把整个行动搞得一团糟。 你唤醒了龙之叛乱的龙。 那声音可能告诉了女巫的吸血鬼spydragon我们在那里。 你以为会发生什么事？”鱼腿气得发抖，他转向鼻子鼻。 “我们一开始只是为了救你那可怜的小生命！”你为什么不试着去追她呢，鼻涕精？ 她为你冒着生命危险，而你

couldn't even be bothered to follow her?' 'Of course, I was dying to go after the dear little Bog-Burglar brat,' drawled Snotlout, 'and I'd have jumped on my trusty steed like a shot, you know what a gentleman I am, Fishlegs, but my own riding-dragon has most unfortunately been hit by Razorwing stings, and can hardly move his wings.' 'How do we know that YOU didn't hand over Camicazi to the witch? Maybe this has all been a trick to betray us to the Alvinsmen!' Fishlegs's hot angry words said aloud what Hiccup was thinking. 'Why did we listen to your cries for help? You probably gave her to the witch's Spydragon! And you,' shouted Fishlegs, 'are not worth even a tenth of that girl!' Snotlout said nothing. His face was in darkness, but perhaps there was a quivering in his fingers when Fishlegs said he was not worth a tenth of Camicazi. But then again, perhaps not. 'That little Bog-Burglar?' he drawled.

都懒得跟着她吗？“当然，我非常想去追那个可爱的沼泽飞贼，”鼻子长着慢吞吞的声音说，“我会像子弹一样跳上我那可靠的坐骑，鱼腿，你知道我是一个多么有绅士风度的人，可是我自己的飞龙不幸被刮胡刀的毒刺击中了，翅膀几乎不动了。”“我们怎么知道你没有把卡米卡齐交给女巫呢？” 也许这一切都是为了把我们出卖给阿尔文家而设的圈套！”鱼腿愤怒的话语大声说出了嗝嗝的想法。 “我们为什么要听你们的呼救声？” 你可能把她给了女巫的Spydragon！“而你，”鱼腿喊道，“连那姑娘的十分之一都不值！”鼻鼻子什么也没说。 他的脸在黑暗中，但当鱼腿说他不值卡米卡齐的十分之一时，他的手指可能在颤抖。 但话又说回来，也许不是。 “那个小沼泽飞贼？”他慢吞吞地说。

'Come on, she's only a Bog-Burglar after all…' It was as if Snotlout was deliberately trying to provoke them. That was when Fishlegs really lost his temper. Snotlout had bullied Fishlegs all his life. Anybody who has been bullied knows what that is like. Fishlegs had spent all of his first ten years in pure fear, too terrified to go out the door of his lonely little hut, in case he got caught by Snotlout and his bullying sidekick, Dogsbreath the Duhbrain, who would hit him, and kick him, and take no notice if he pleaded or cried. And now they had saved Snotlout's life, and Snotlout had repaid them by betraying Camicazi, who was one of the only two human friends Fishlegs had ever had. Fifteen years of being bullied, of hatred, of anger, welled up in Fishlegs. All of Fishlegs's anxiety about where Camicazi might be, the fear of what the Dragon Furious would do if he found them in that hideout, all of his rage at Snotlout came together in a white-hot rush. 'We should throw you out of the hideout!' roared Fishlegs. 'You are a LIAR! You are a TRAITOR! You have betrayed Hiccup and us all, time and time again!'

“得了吧，她毕竟只是个沼泽飞贼……”鼻子精似乎是故意想激怒他们。 那是鱼腿真正发脾气的时候。 鼻子哥一辈子都在欺负鱼腿。 任何被欺负过的人都知道那是什么感觉。 鱼腿在最初的十年里完全是在恐惧中度过的，他太害怕了，不敢走出他那孤独的小茅屋的门，生怕被鼻鼻子和他那恃强欺弱的伙伴狗呼吸抓住，狗呼吸会打他，踢他，不管他恳求或哭泣。 现在他们救了鼻涕虫的命，而鼻涕虫却出卖了卡米卡齐作为回报，卡米卡齐是鱼腿仅有的两个人类朋友之一。 15年的欺凌、仇恨和愤怒，在鱼腿身上涌了出来。 鱼腿对卡米卡齐可能在哪里的焦虑，对愤怒的龙在藏身处发现他们会怎么做的恐惧，以及他对鼻涕虫的所有愤怒都在白热化的冲动中聚集在一起。 “我们应该把你从藏身处扔出去！”鱼腿吼道。 “你是个骗子！”你是叛徒！你一次又一次地背叛了小嗝嗝和我们大家！”

The three heads of the Deadly Shadow let out a simultaneous scream, and lightning ricocheted around the inside of the cavern, and the three heads inhaled, ready to strike, for Fishlegs was their Master now. BAM! Fishlegs hit Snotlout, plumb on the nose. Snotlout looked completely and totally astonished. He had never really thought much about that weed, Fishlegs, apart from thinking up clever ways to humiliate him. Fishlegs had never dared so much as to pinch Snotlout, let alone punch him. Snotlout raised his arms to hit back, and then paused as the gigantic Deadly Shadow's three heads screamed a warning BAM! Fishlegs hit him again. Snotlout half laughed, because however hard Fishlegs tried to hit, his scrawny weedy little arms were not really going to do any damage. That enormous three-headed monster of his, though… Well, that could do Snotlout some real damage. Snotlout eyed it fearfully. 'How does it feel,' said Fishlegs through gritted, furious teeth, 'to know you are completely at someone else's mercy?' Not good, as it happened. Snotlout looked at Fishlegs's howling, Berserk-like face, and at the dreadful roaring

死影的三个脑袋同时发出一声尖叫，闪电在洞窟内部反弹，三个脑袋吸了一口气，准备出击，因为鱼腿现在是它们的主人了。 砰!鱼腿打在鼻子上。 鼻鼻子完全惊呆了。 除了想出一些巧妙的方法来羞辱他之外，他从来没有真正想过鱼腿这个杂草。 鱼腿从来不敢掐鼻子，更别说揍他了。 鼻鼻子举起双臂准备反击，但当巨大的致命阴影的三个脑袋尖叫着发出警告时，他停了下来——砰！鱼腿又打了他。 鼻鼻子半笑半笑，因为不管鱼腿怎么使劲打，他那骨瘦如柴、长满杂草的小胳膊都不会真的造成任何伤害。 不过，他的那只巨大的三头怪物……嗯，那可能会给鼻涕精造成一些真正的伤害。 鼻子哥惊恐地看着它。 “知道自己完全受别人摆布，”鱼腿咬紧牙关，愤怒地说，“是什么感觉？”事实并非如此。 鼻鼻子看着鱼腿那张狂怒似的嚎叫的脸，还有那可怕的吼叫

three-headed nightmare of a Deadly Shadow beside him. He paled a little. 'Come on now, Fishlegs,' he said uneasily, 'you can take a joke now, can't you? I was always only joking…' 'Oh, it was a joke was it?' spat Fishlegs. 'Well then I'm just joking too! How does it feel to know that whatever you do, whatever you say, however you plead, someone is NEVER… GOING… TO… STOP?' BAM! BAM! BAM!

他身边有一个三头梦魇般的致命阴影。 他脸色有些苍白。“来吧，鱼腿，”他不安地说，“你现在开得起玩笑了，是不是？ “哦，那是个玩笑，是吗？”鱼腿啐道。 “好吧，那我也是在开玩笑！”不管你做什么，不管你说什么，不管你怎么恳求，总有人永远……不会……停下来，你是什么感觉？”砰!砰!砰!
