20 Epilogue by Hiccup

EPILOGUE BY HICCUP A few months afterwards, I had a dream. It was a dream about shipwrecks, perhaps because I had been doing a lot of that lately. The ship was called the Endless Journey, and just before it disappeared beneath the waves, the ferocious looking captain, who had a strange smile on his face, threw a sword up, up, into the air. It spun end to end over the waves, through the atmosphere and into space and stars and neverending time, where, to my surprise, my own left hand sprang out of its own accord and caught it. As soon as I awoke, I got up and brought out that uninspiring sword that Toothless had picked for me in the cavern of the Treasure, the one with which I had fought Alvin the Treacherous. I turned it over and over, and inspected the dull little object for quite half an hour. And eventually I found that by twisting and twisting it, the knob at the end fell off and there was a small piece of paper rolled up in a little hollowed-out compartment inside. A small fragment of paper on which was written the following words:

几个月后，我做了一个梦。 这是一个关于沉船的梦，也许是因为我最近做了很多这样的梦。 这艘船被称为“无尽之旅”，就在它消失在海浪下之前，这位面目狰狞的船长脸上带着一种奇怪的微笑，向空中举起了一把剑。 它首尾相连，在波浪上旋转，穿过大气层，进入太空、星星和无尽的时间，在那里，令我惊讶的是，我自己的左手自动跳出来，抓住了它。 我一醒来，就站起身来，拿出那把毫无生气的剑，那是无牙在宝藏洞里给我挑选的，就是我和奸诈的阿尔文决斗时用的那把。 我把它翻来覆去地看了一遍又一遍，整整半个小时都在观察着这个沉闷的小东西。 最后我发现，通过不断地旋转，末端的旋钮掉了下来，里面有一小张纸卷在一个中空的小隔间里。 一小片纸，上面写着下面的话：

The Last Will and Testament ~of- Grimbeard the Chastly I leave to my True Heir, this my favourite sword. Because the Stormblade always lunged a little to the left. And the Best is not always the most Obvious. Yours, In the hope that you will make a better Leader than I was, G. G.

我把这把我最喜欢的剑留给我真正的继承人。 因为暴风之刃总是往左冲。 最好的并不总是最明显的。 我希望你能成为一个比我更好的领袖，G。 G。

Now I am an old, old man, the same age as Grimbeard the Ghastly when he got his dragons to swim down to the cavern with the treasure. Toothless and Fishlegs and I have kept the secret of what really happened on that terrible day all those years ago... But because I am writing my memoirs I find I have to write it down, as it is such an important part of my journey to becoming a Hero. Even though I know I will never be able to show it to anyone of my own time. As soon as I have finished writing these papers, I shall lock them in a box. I shall throw that box into the sea. And I shall throw it hoping, like Grimbeard the Ghastly, that some day it may be found by someone who will be a better Leader than I have been. Someone living way, way, in the future, in times more civilised than those in which I have lived, where men can own beautiful and dangerous things and use them wisely.

现在我是一个很老很老的人，和可怕的Grimbeard带着他的龙游到洞穴里带着宝藏的时候一样大。 无牙、鱼腿和我一直保守着多年前那可怕的一天真正发生的事情的秘密…… 但是因为我正在写回忆录，我觉得我必须把它写下来，因为它是我成为英雄的旅程中如此重要的一部分。 即使我知道我永远也不能把它展示给任何人看。 我一写完这些文件，就把它们锁在一个盒子里。 我要把那个箱子扔到海里去。 我要像可怕的Grimbeard一样，把它扔出去，希望有一天它会被一个比我更好的领袖找到。 那个人生活在遥远的未来，生活在比我所生活的时代更文明的时代，在那里人们可以拥有美丽和危险的东西，并明智地利用它们。

Surely that would be the last Hiccup would see of that wicked villain, Alvin the Treacherous? His grim hook sank to the bottom of the ocean with the wreck of the Lucky Thirteen. He himself was last seen struggling in the throat of a monstrous Strangulator in an inaccessible cavern deep, deep underground. Nobody could get out of that situation alive. Or could they??? Look out for the next volume of Hiccup's memoirs, How to Speak Dragonese

那一定是小嗝嗝最后一次见到那个邪恶的恶棍，背信弃义的阿尔文吧？ 他那可怕的钩子随着幸运十三号的残骸沉入了海底。 他最后一次露面是在一个人迹罕至的地下深洞里，在一个巨大的扼杀者的喉咙里挣扎。 没有人能活着离开那种情况。 或者他们可以？？期待下一卷Hiccup的回忆录，《如何说龙语》
