11 The treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly

11. THE TREASURE OF GRIMBEARD THE GHASTLY Of course it was Snotlout who had found the treasure. There he stood, chest stuck out, nostrils flaring, a big fat smile on his smug face. Fireworm, his dragon, had blown up to nearly twice her size with pride. He was surrounded by a crowd of Vikings, who were giving him the Hooligan Hoorah: 'SNOT-LOUT SNOT-LOUT SNOT-LOUT, UGH UGH UGH.' Snotlout grinned even more widely when he saw Hiccup trudging up, trying to look inconspicuous (difficult when you are attended by a friend carrying a gigantic limpet). 'Look what I've found, Hiccup,' drawled Snotlout. Snotlout had found a large wooden chest, very battered and scuffed and thoroughly gnawed by Skullions. It had the words 'PROPERTY OF GRIMBEARD THE GHASTLY. DO NOT OPEN' written on it in large golden letters. Hiccup sighed. No chance of it NOT being the treasure, then.

11. 格林胡子的宝藏当然是鼻鼻子发现了宝藏。 他站在那儿，挺起胸膛，张开鼻孔，沾沾自喜的脸上挂着大大的笑容。 他的火龙萤火虫骄傲地膨胀到几乎是她的两倍大。 他被一群维京人团团围住，他们对他发出流氓式的欢呼：“嘘嘘嘘，哈哈哈哈。”当鼻鼻子看到小嗝嗝步履蹒跚地走过来，试图不引人注意时，他笑得更开心了（当你有一个带着巨大帽贝的朋友在场时，这很难）。 “看我找到了什么，小嗝嗝。” 鼻子哥发现了一个大木箱，被骷髅咬得残破不堪。 上面写着“鬼胡子的财产”。 上面用金色的大字写着“请勿打开”。 打嗝叹了口气。那它就不可能不是宝藏了。

'Righto then,' said Stoick, rubbing his hands together in a businesslike fashion. 'Let's open it.' Hiccup forgot about shutting up and keeping a low profile. 'Father,' he whispered urgently, 'we can't open it here. Look, it says "DO NOT OPEN" on the front. Remember what happened last time?' 'NONSENSE,' bellowed Stoick, who had never been more disappointed by his son. Why hadn't HE found the treasure? WHAT was his odd-looking friend doing carrying that ridiculously large shell? Now Baggybum was going to start suggesting that Snotlout was the rightful Heir to the Tribe, and then Stoick would have to shut him up by fighting him, and it was all Hiccup's fault. 'Of course we open it NOW. What's the point of looking for treasure if you can't open the box when you find it?' 'Please,' pleaded Hiccup, 'you don't think a cunning old pirate like Grimbeard the Ghastly is going to leave a box lying around without there being some sort of trick to it? It'll be BOOBY-TRAPPED. Look what happened when Alvin opened the coffin in the first place– it chopped off his hand– and then when

“那就对了，”斯托伊克像公事公办一样搓着双手说道。 “我们打开吧。”小嗝嗝忘记了闭嘴和保持低调。 “爸爸，”他急切地小声说，“我们在这儿打不开。 看，前面写着“请勿打开”。 还记得上次发生了什么吗？“胡说，”斯托伊克吼道，他从来没有像现在这样对儿子失望过。 为什么他没有找到宝藏？ 他那长相古怪的朋友拿着那只大得可笑的贝壳做什么？ 现在Baggybum开始暗示鼻涕虫是部落的合法继承人，然后Stoick就不得不和他打架，让他闭嘴，这都是Hiccup的错。 “当然我们现在就打开它。 如果找到宝藏的时候都不能打开盒子，那找宝藏还有什么意义？“求你了，”小嗝嗝恳求道，“你不认为像‘鬼胡子’这样狡猾的老海盗会把一个盒子随便乱放，而不给它施点花招吗？” 会有陷阱的。看看阿尔文打开棺材的时候发生了什么——他的手被砍了下来——然后

we opened it later everybody nearly died of fright…' Stoick finally lost his temper with his son. 'WHO is in charge here, anyway?' he roared. 'I am the Chief of the Hairy Hooligans, not you, you small boy.' Hiccup flinched. 'Those were coincidences, not BOOBY-TRAPS. And I am not going to lug a great heavy box like this

后来我们打开它，每个人都差点吓死了……”斯托伊克终于对儿子发脾气了。 “到底谁是这里的负责人？”他吼道。 “我是毛流氓的头儿，不是你，你这个小男孩。”打嗝退缩。 这些都是巧合，不是陷阱。 我可不想拖这么重的箱子

one all the way home only to find it's full of stones.' Stoick's eyes were already bright with a strange greedy light that Hiccup had never seen before. 'Good point, Chief,' said Gobber the Belch. 'May I?' Gobber swung his axe way over his head and brought it down on the chains wrapped around the box, snapping them in two. 'Snotlout should open it as HE found it,' said Baggybum the Beerbelly. Stoick sighed. 'OK then,' he said. Snotlout proudly stepped forward. This was his big moment. He shot a nasty look at Hiccup. 'Not a good idea, NOT a good idea, NOT A GOOD IDEA,' said Hiccup and Fishlegs to themselves as Snotlout reached out tattooed muscly arms towards the box… 'Not a good idea, N-N-N-NOT a good idea, NOT A G-G-GOOD IDEA,' said Toothless, closing his eyes as Snotlout slowly lifted up the lid…

一个人一路跑回家，却发现里面全是石头。”斯托伊克的眼睛已经闪着一种奇怪的贪婪的光，这是嗝嗝以前从未见过的。 “说得好，头儿。”打嗝的戈贝尔说。 “我可以吗?”戈伯把斧头从头上一挥，劈在包裹箱子的铁链上，把它们劈成了两半。 “鼻鼻子一找到它就应该打开它。”啤酒肚Baggybum说。 Stoick叹了口气。“那好吧，”他说。 鼻子精骄傲地走上前去。 这是他的重要时刻。他恶狠狠地看了嗝嗝一眼。 “不是个好主意，不是个好主意，不是个好主意，”小嗝嗝和鱼腿自言自语道，这时鼻鼻子向盒子伸出了有纹身的肌肉发达的手臂……“不是个好主意，不——不——不——不是个好主意，不——不——好主意。”
