4 Whose coffin is this anyway

4. WHOSE COFFIN IS THIS ANYWAY? The boys all crowded around the box, forgetting, in their curiosity, about their narrow escape from drowning. 'It's a coffin, sir.' 'Yes, I can see that, thank you, Wartihog,' snapped Gobber the Belch. 'The question is, whose?' The answer was written right underneath the words 'Do Not Open This Coffin', in letters scratched out with some kind of dagger, and stained with something that might once have been blood. 'CURSED BE HE WHO DISTURBS THE REMAINS OF GRIMBEARD THE GHASTLY THE GREATEST PIRATE WHO EVER STRUCK TERROR INTO THE INNER ISLES.' Hiccup felt a cold clammy shiver run down his back, and he suddenly knew that something really bad was going to happen. Grimbeard the Ghastly had been Hiccup's own great-great-grandfather. 'The Lost Treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly' was a popular Hooligan Saga. It told of how

4. 这到底是谁的棺材？ 男孩们都挤在盒子周围，好奇地忘记了他们死里逃生的经历。 “是的，我看到了，谢谢你，战袍。”打嗝的戈伯厉声说。 “问题是谁？”答案就写在“不要打开这口棺材”的正下方，上面的字是用某种匕首划出来的，上面还沾着一些可能曾经是血的东西。 “扰乱了鬼胡子遗骸的人将受到诅咒他是最可怕的海盗他曾在内岛制造过恐怖”小嗝嗝感到背上一阵冰冷潮湿的颤抖，他突然意识到真正糟糕的事情要发生了。 可怕的Grimbeard是Hiccup的曾曾祖父。 《鬼胡子的失落宝藏》是一个很受欢迎的流氓传奇。 它讲述了

Grimbeard had won a glorious treasure through his brilliance at piracy and swordfighting, a treasure that included his famous sword, the Stormblade.

Grimbeard通过他在海盗和剑术上的出色表现赢得了一笔辉煌的财富，其中包括他那把著名的剑——暴风之刃。

But after twenty years of glorious rule, Grimbeard had disappeared on a mysterious quest, and neither he nor the treasure were ever seen again. And now here, out of the blue, one hundred years later, his coffin had appeared back on the shores of Berk… It was spooky. 'OOOOOOOOH,' chattered Wartihog in excitement. 'Do you think there might be TREASURE in there, sir? Can we open it, sir? Pleasesir, pleasesir, can we open it?' All the other boys joined in the clamour… except for Hiccup. Hiccup knew that Grimbeard had been the ULTIMATE in pirate-ness, the GREEDIEST, GRISLIEST, GORIEST Viking who had ever sailed and slew and farted his way across the Northern Seas. Treasure or no treasure, if a man like Grimbeard the Ghastly was telling you not to mess with his coffin, it was Hiccup's personal opinion that you ought to listen. Even if he had been dead for a hundred years. Particularly if he had been dead for a hundred years. 'Right,' said Gobber, just as excited as everybody

但是在经历了二十年的辉煌统治之后，Grimbeard在一次神秘的探险中消失了，他和宝藏都再也没有出现过。 现在，一百年后的今天，他的棺材突然出现在伯克岛的海岸上……真是令人毛骨悚然。 “呜……呜……”战猪兴奋地叽叽喳喳地说。 “你觉得里面会有宝藏吗，先生？” 先生，我们可以打开吗？求求您，求求您，我们能打开它吗？”除了小嗝嗝，所有的男孩都加入了喧闹。 小嗝嗝知道，Grimbeard是海盗的极品，是在北海航行、杀人、放屁的海盗中最贪婪、最可怕、最血腥的一个。 不管有没有财宝，如果像幽灵般的Grimbeard这样的人告诉你不要乱动他的棺材，你应该听Hiccup的个人意见。 即使他已经死了一百年。 特别是如果他已经死了一百年。 “好吧。”戈伯说，和大家一样兴奋

else, 'we're going to have to forget about the Advanced Rudery lesson. This is an Important Discovery and I think we should take it straight to Stoick the Vast and the Council of Elders. Bearhug, Sharpknife, Wartihog, Clueless, pick it up and carry it back to the Hooligan Village…' The boys hauled the coffin on to their shoulders. 'Don't just hang about shivering, you lazy lug- fish,' Gobber bellowed crazily. 'This is Pirate Training, not a holiday with your mother on the Mainland. QUICK MARCH, one-two, one-two, one-two…' He set off at a brisk trot towards the Hooligan Village. The boys sighed and began to stumble after him. Snotlout and Dogsbreath the Duhbrain sauntered over to Hiccup, who was sitting trying to catch his breath on a large rock, shivering violently. 'A shame that Dogsbreath was interrupted,' sneered Snotlout, 'just when things were getting interesting, don't you think, Dogsbreath?' 'Yeah,' grinned Dogsbreath the Duhbrain. 'I reckon,' said Snotlout thoughtfully to the remaining boys, 'that Hiccup must be the most pathetic swordfighter I have EVER seen, don't you

否则，我们就得忘掉高级礼仪课了。 这是一个重要的发现，我认为我们应该直接把它交给斯托伊克和长老委员会。 熊抱、尖刀、战猪、独领风帽，把它捡起来，带回流氓村……”男孩们把棺材抬到肩上。 “别在那儿瑟瑟发抖，你这条懒虫。”戈伯疯狂地吼道。 “这是海盗训练，不是和你妈妈在大陆度假。 快走，一二，一二，一二……”他快步向流氓村走去。 孩子们叹了口气，开始踉跄地跟在他后面。 鼻涕精和狗息那个笨蛋慢悠悠地走到嗝嗝身边，嗝嗝正坐在一块大石头上拼命地喘气，浑身剧烈地颤抖着。 “真可惜，狗息被打断了，”鼻鼻子冷笑着说，“事情正变得有趣起来，你说呢，狗息？“是啊，”狗屎呼吸笑道。 “我想，”鼻鼻子若有所思地对剩下的几个男孩说，“小嗝嗝一定是我见过的最可怜的击剑手，你说呢

think, guys? I mean, face it, Hiccup, somebody who fights like a granny with a back problem is NEVER going to be Chief of this Tribe…' 'Oh, and so who is going to be Chief of this Tribe if Hiccup isn't?' asked Fishlegs, still lying spreadeagled on the sand in the exact position where he had fallen off the coffin. 'Let me guess… YOU, I suppose?' Snotlout flexed his muscles, making the skeleton tattooed on his right bicep grin smugly. 'I AM the obvious choice,' he said. 'I've got noble blood…' (Snotlout was Hiccup's cousin, the son of Baggybum the Beerbelly, the Chief 's younger brother) 'charisma… good looks…' (Snotlout stroked the rather unpleasant little straggly hairs on his upper lip that he was trying to grow into a moustache)'… and I'm BRILLIANT at absolutely everything…' Unfortunately this was true. Snotlout was a natural at Mindless Violence, superb at Advanced Rudery and practically everything else.'… particularly swordfighting,' said Snotlout, drawing his sword from its scabbard. The other boys gasped.

认为,人吗?我的意思是，面对现实吧，小嗝嗝，一个像个背有问题的老奶奶一样打架的人永远不会成为这个部落的酋长……”“哦，如果小嗝嗝不能成为这个部落的酋长，那么谁会成为这个部落的酋长呢？鱼腿问道，他仍然摊开四肢躺在沙滩上，就在他从棺材上掉下来的地方。 “让我猜猜……我想是你吧？”鼻子哥扭动着肌肉，右二头肌上的骷髅也露出了得意的笑容。 “我是显而易见的选择，”他说。 “我有高贵的血统……”（鼻涕虫是嗝嗝的堂兄，是啤酒肚Baggybum的儿子，是酋长的弟弟）“有魅力……长得好看……”（鼻鼻子抚摸着上唇上那绺绺绺绺的令人讨厌的小乱毛，他想把它们留成小胡子）“……而且我在任何事情上都很出色……”不幸的是，这是真的。 鼻涕鬼天生擅长无脑暴力，在高级粗鲁和其他几乎所有事情上都很出色。“……尤其是剑术。”鼻涕鼻子说着，从鞘里抽出了剑。 其他男孩倒吸了一口气。

'Wow,' breathed Speedifist. 'The latest Double-Sided Extra-Biting Supa-Sword. Curving inner edges, silverpoint finish… where did you get THAT from, Snotlout?' 'This is the Flashcut,' boasted Snotlout, swishing the beautiful sword around so that everybody could get a good look. 'Makes that silly Swiftpoint Scaremaker that Dogsbreath lost for you look pretty weak, doesn't it, Hiccup? Let me show you how Swordfighting should be done. This,' sneered Snotlout, lunging athletically, 'is a Perfect Pointer…' Hiccup dodged. 'And this is the Destroyer's Defence…' Snotlout gave an animal howl and brought the sword down over his head, stopping just before he cut Hiccup in half. 'And that,' jeered Snotlout, slashing the Flashcut expertly from side to side and then leaping forward suddenly, the sword ending up just inches away from Hiccup's heart, 'that is a Grimbeard's Grapple…

“哇，”速度拳喘着气说。 最新的双面超咬超级剑。 弯曲的内缘，银色的表面，你从哪学来的，臭鼻子？“这是闪切。”鼻涕鼻子吹嘘道，挥舞着那把漂亮的剑，让每个人都能看清楚。 “让狗息帮你弄丢的那个愚蠢的Swiftpoint惊吓机显得很弱，是不是，小嗝嗝？” 让我来教你怎么练剑。 “这个，”嗅鼻子讥笑着，猛地扑过去，“是一只完美的指针……”嗝嗝躲开了。 “这是毁灭者的防御术……”鼻子鼻发出一声野兽般的嚎叫，把剑举过头顶，在把嗝嗝砍成两半之前停了下来。 “还有这个，”鼻鼻子嘲笑道，熟练地把闪切刀从一边砍到另一边，然后突然向前一跳，剑离小嗝嗝的心脏只有几英寸远，“这是Grimbeard's Grapple……
