10 The worst day of Hiccup’s life so far

10. THE WORST DAY OF HICCUP'S LIFE SO FAR At dawn on the day of the Quest, Hiccup got dressed very reluctantly indeed. He buckled on the sword his father had given him, hoping that it wouldn't get in the way too much. He slung a spade in a sling across his back, where he normally might have carried a bow-and-arrow. He was so nervous he couldn't eat his porridge. He finally managed to drag Toothless out of bed and set off towards Hooligan Harbour, where everybody was meeting. Toothless sat on his shoulder, angrily rubbing sleep out of his eyes with one wing. 'Toothless don't W-W-WANT to go on Quest,' he complained. 'Is s-s-stupid. Is s-s-silly. Is d-ddangerous.' Hiccup could not have agreed with him more, but all he said was, 'You're going to be all right. YOU'VE got wings. Any Skullions attack you, and you just fly away.' 'Yes, but T-t-t-toothless don't like the sight of

10. 到目前为止，嗝嗝一生中最糟糕的一天在探险那天的黎明，嗝嗝真的很不情愿地穿好衣服。 他扣上父亲送给他的剑，希望它不会太碍事。 他把一把铁锹用吊索吊在背上，而平时他可能会把弓和箭放在那里。 他紧张得连粥都吃不下。 他终于把无牙从床上拖了起来，朝流氓港走去，大家都在那里集合。 无牙坐在他的肩膀上，愤怒地用一只翅膀驱走他的睡意。 “没牙的我不想——不想去探险。”他抱怨道。 ”是s-s-stupid。s-s-silly。 d-ddangerous。小嗝嗝完全同意他的说法，但他只说了一句：“你会没事的。 你有翅膀。任何骷髅攻击你，你就会飞走。“是的，但是我不喜欢看到……

b-b-blood…' whined Toothless. 'You get torn to pieces and Toothless feel s-s-sick…' 'We all have our problems,' snapped Hiccup crossly. Fishlegs was already at the Harbour, looking furious. His dragon, Horrorcow, sat at his feet, chewing quietly. All the other boys were milling about, their dragons fighting each other or flapping over their heads. Everybody was thoroughly over-excited despite the very real prospect of being eaten alive.

“血——血……”无牙呜咽着说。 “我们都有自己的烦恼，”小嗝嗝生气地说。 鱼腿已经到了港口，一脸愤怒。 他的巨龙恐怖牛坐在他脚边，静静地咀嚼着。 其他的男孩都在转来转去，他们的龙在互相打斗，或者在他们的头顶上拍打着翅膀。 每个人都极度兴奋，尽管很有可能被生吞活剥。

'Who do you reckon would win if a Skullion was to fight a Bloody Crocoraptor in one-to-one combat?' chatted Wartihog. 'Oh, the Skullion would win EVERY TIME,' replied Clueless. 'No question. My father says the Skullion is one of the most vicious creatures on the planet. It'd just whip out that famous extra-long claw and swipe… it'd be Goodnight Crocoraptor…' 'Ah,' said Wartihog craftily, 'but what if the Skullion had one paw tied behind its back, who would win then?' 'Idiots,' fumed Fishlegs. 'Idiots!! I'm surrounded by people with seaweed for brains.'

“如果一只骷髅和一只血鳄龙进行一对一的战斗，你认为谁会赢？”战猪说。 “哦，Skullion每次都会赢。”Clueless回答。 “毫无疑问。我父亲说骷髅头是地球上最凶残的生物之一。 “啊，”战猪狡猾地说，“但是如果骷髅把一只爪子绑在背后，那谁会赢呢？”“白痴，”鱼腿生气地说。 “白痴! !我周围的人脑子里都是海藻。”

Other than the boys, there were about fifty adult pirates in the Skullion landing party, all of Stoick's biggest and finest Warriors. Alvin was cracking jokes, giving out hearty handshakes and patting everybody on the back. Stoick the Vast was delighted to be setting off on a military operation and marched about yelling orders. 'RIGHT, everybody. Once we've landed we split up into groups of two. We fan out across the island, and we get our dragons to sniff for the treasure. Notice you have all been supplied with a whistle– Gobber, could you demonstrate?' Gobber blew a sharp blast on the whistle. 'Once you hear that noise you will realise that somebody has found the treasure. Make your way towards the sound as quickly as possible so we can all help to carry it back to the ship. REMEMBER, the dragons will be sleeping during the day and it does not matter how much noise you make because the Skullion is stone deaf. However, do try not to

除了男孩们，骷髅号上还有大约五十名成年海盗，他们都是斯托伊克最强壮、最优秀的战士。 阿尔文讲着笑话，热情地和大家握手，拍拍大家的背。 辽阔的斯托伊克很高兴能参加一场军事行动，他一边喊着命令，一边走来走去。 的权利,每个人。我们一着陆就分成两人一组。 我们分散在岛上，让我们的龙去寻找宝藏。 注意，我们给你们每人发了一个哨子——戈伯，你能示范一下吗？”戈伯在哨子上猛烈地吹了一声。 “一旦你听到那个声音，你就会意识到有人找到了宝藏。 你们尽快去找那个声音这样我们就能帮忙把它搬回船上。 记住，龙会在白天睡觉，不管你制造多大的噪音都没关系，因为Skullion完全聋了。 但是，尽量不要这样做

step on one and don't forget that their sense of smell is very acute indeed. So once you land on the island, THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO FARTING WHATSOEVER. Is that understood?' The Warriors nodded solemnly. 'Righto, then,' said Stoick. 'Death or Glory.' 'DEATH OR GLORY!' yelled everybody. And the Grimbeard's Treasure-Seeking Skullion Landing Party climbed aboard the good ship Lucky Thirteen to set sail for the Isle of the Skullions. Dogsbreath the Duhbrain 'accidentally' bumped into Hiccup as they climbed in and knocked him on to the floor of the boat, where Snotlout trod on him. 'Clumsy me,' grinned Snotlout, swinging the Flashcut in a nonchalant fashion. 'Good luck, Useless.'

踩上一只，别忘了它们的嗅觉确实非常敏锐。 所以一旦你降落在岛上，绝对不会放屁。 明白了吗？”勇士们严肃地点点头。 “那么好吧，”斯托伊克说。 “要么死亡，要么光荣。“是死是荣！”大家都喊道。 Grimbeard的寻宝骷髅登陆队登上了幸运十三号，向骷髅岛起航。 当他们爬上船的时候，这个笨蛋“不小心”撞到了小嗝嗝，把他撞到了船的地板上，鼻涕精又踩到了他。 “我笨手笨脚的。”鼻鼻子咧嘴一笑，若无其事地挥舞着闪光灯。 “祝你好运，没用的。”

Lucky Thirteen set off slowly from the harbour through an ominous thick fog hanging heavily over the whole of the Inner Isles. It was difficult to see more than six feet ahead.

幸运十三号慢慢地从港口出发，穿过笼罩整个内群岛的不祥的浓雾。 很难看清前方六英尺以外的地方。
