8 You Wouldn't Find Alvin's Secret Camp

8. YOU WOULDN'T FIND ALVIN'S SECRET CAMP EVEN IF YOU SEARCHED FOR A HUNDRED YEARS The next morning, to Hiccup's surprise, the dragons of the Dragon Rebellion had vanished. Outside, the landscape was a smoking, burning ruin, but there was no sign of human or dragon life. The rain poured down relentlessly. 'They've gone…' breathed Hiccup, unable to believe their good fortune. 'Now we can go and

8. 即使你找上一百年也找不到阿尔文的秘密营地。第二天早上，令小嗝嗝吃惊的是，龙之叛乱的龙已经消失了。 外面是一片冒烟燃烧的废墟，但没有人类或龙的生命迹象。 大雨无情地倾盆而下。 “他们走了……”嗝嗝喘着气说，不敢相信他们的好运气。 “现在我们可以走了

rescue Camicazi.' 'Do you think that this is a trick?' whispered Fishlegs. 'Surely we will still be ambushed on our way to Alvin's camp?' 'I have a sense that we will be fine,' wheezed the Wodensfang, in Norse. 'Don't ask me how I know, but the Dragon Furious will not attack us… for now.' But even with the Wodensfang's reassurance, it was terrifying to venture out of the hideout once again, with the worry that at any moment they might be attacked by the Dragon Furious, or by the witch's Spydragons. The tree above the underground treehouse was still burning when they left it, a blackened, smouldering stump.

救援Camicazi。“你认为这是一个诡计吗？”鱼腿低声说。 “我们去阿尔文营地的路上肯定还会遭到伏击吧？”“我有一种感觉，我们会好起来的，”沃登斯人用挪威语喘息着说。 “别问我是怎么知道的，但是暴龙不会攻击我们……暂时不会。”但是，即使得到了沃登方的安慰，再次冒险走出藏身处还是很可怕的，因为他们担心自己随时可能被愤怒的巨龙或女巫的spydragon攻击。 他们离开的时候，地下树屋上方的那棵树还在燃烧，一根烧焦的、闷烧的树桩。

Snotlout, on the back of the Hurricane, led them through the eerie landscape. Hiccup had seen woods destroyed before, but this was ten times worse. Everyone was silent, awed by the devastation. What had once been the half-burnt remains of a forest now looked like the smoking surface of the moon. If it hadn't been for the river, they would never have found their way, for the landscape was unrecognisable. Whole mountains had been demolished, shaken to rubble as if there had been an earthquake. Whole forests reduced to little toasted sticks of kindling and ash.

鼻子怪骑在飓风号的后面，领着他们穿过这片诡异的风景。 小嗝嗝以前也见过树林被毁，但这次的情况要糟糕十倍。 大家都沉默了，对这场灾难感到敬畏。 曾经是一片燃烧了一半的森林，现在看起来就像月亮表面冒烟。 如果没有这条河，他们永远也找不到路，因为这里的风景已经面目全非。 整座山被夷为平地，仿佛发生了地震。 整片森林被烧成小块的柴火和灰烬。

Every now and then the river itself was blocked, and dammed, by gigantic torn-up rocks from an obliterated hillside. Water spurted up and round the obstructions like blood from a wound, before reverting to its original course. The bite in Hiccup's arm was a constant reminder of the Vampire Spydragon. It could track him down through the tooth still buried in his flesh. It could appear out of nowhere, out of nothing, so Hiccup was constantly looking over his shoulder, feeling that at any moment he could be attacked once again. The bruise had spread so that the whole of the left side of Hiccup's body was purple in colour, right down to his knee. 'I look like a Mood-Dragon!' Hiccup joked, but that was to cover up how frightened he was. All the discoloured areas were so numb that he couldn't feel or use his left arm at all. It was hard

有时，河流本身也会被从被毁的山坡上脱落下来的巨大岩石堵塞或筑坝。 水像伤口里的血一样从障碍物周围喷涌而出，然后又回到原来的方向。 小嗝嗝手臂上的咬痕不断提醒着他，那是吸血鬼Spydragon。 它可以通过埋在他肉里的牙齿找到他。 它可能凭空出现，所以小嗝嗝一直在回头看，觉得随时都有可能再次遭到袭击。 瘀伤已经扩散开来，小嗝嗝的左侧身体一直到膝盖都是紫色的。 “我看起来像一只情绪龙！”小嗝嗝开玩笑说，但这是为了掩饰他有多害怕。 所有变色的地方都麻木了，他的左臂完全没有知觉，也无法使用。 这很难

to cling on to the Deadly Shadow's back. He told himself that the Spydragon had been scared off by the scale of the Dragon Rebellion attack last night, along with everything else. They crept through the devastation, scurrying, terrified, to hide behind the corpse of one blasted tree, and then on to another, and even though they were shaded by the wings of the Deadly Shadow, they felt painfully visible– the only moving things in a wasteland of nothing. This must be what it is like at the end of the world, thought Hiccup. 'Wow,' breathed Snotlout. 'That Dragon really does want to get you, doesn't he, Useless? I wouldn't want to be in your shoes if he ever finds you…' 'But why isn't the Dragon Furious here?' muttered Hiccup, the tic in his eye working as he squinted all around them. 'Why isn't he stalking us? He knows we are in these mountains, somewhere. Why is he not hunting? That isn't like a dragon. It doesn't feel right.

紧紧抓住死亡之影的背 他告诉自己，Spydragon是被昨晚龙族叛乱的规模吓退了，还有其他的一切。 他们蹑手蹑脚地穿过废墟，惊慌失措地跑着，躲在一棵被炸毁的树的尸体后面，然后又躲到另一棵树的尸体后面。尽管他们被死亡之影的翅膀遮蔽着，但他们还是痛苦地觉得自己被看见了——这是一片虚无的荒原上唯一能动的东西。 小嗝嗝想，世界的尽头一定是这个样子。 “哇！”“那条龙真的想抓你，是不是，没用的家伙？” 如果他找到你，我可不想处在你的位置上……”“可是为什么怒龙不在这儿呢？小嗝嗝嘟囔着，眯着眼睛打量着他们，眼睛里的抽动还在继续。 “他为什么不跟踪我们？” 他知道我们在山里的某个地方。 他为什么不打猎？那可不像龙。 感觉不对。

When a dragon has something trapped, it goes in for the kill. Where has he gone?' The Wodensfang fluttered innocently above Hiccup's head. Out of nowhere, Toothless suddenly bit him. 'OW! Toothless! That isn't nice!' said Hiccup. 'Not good manners at all…' 'S-s-sorry,' whimpered Toothless, thoroughly bewildered. 'Not sure why Toothless did that… Is all a bit scary for poor Toothless…'

当龙被困住时，它会扑向猎物。 他到哪儿去了？”小嗝嗝头顶上那只木雕天真地拍打着翅膀。 不知从哪里冒出来，无牙突然咬了他一口。 “噢!牙齿!这可不好！小嗝嗝说。 “对不起——对不起。”无牙呜咽着说，完全被弄糊涂了。 “不知道无牙为什么要那样做……这对可怜的无牙来说有点可怕……”
