驯龙高手 · 4 How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse
12. WILL TOOTHLESS SAVE THE DAY? Meanwhile, up on the roof, Toothless and One Eye had flapped off and hidden in The American Dream when they heard the noise of Hiccup falling into the Onion Soup, and the Hysteric Warriors charging outside to look for other Assassins. When things grew quiet again, they flew back to the chimney. Both dragons were cold, hungry and tired. One Eye's eye gleamed golden-yellow in the darkness. 'Shall we leave them?' One Eye mused to himself. 'It looks like they haven't found the cure for Vorpentitis after all… and I'm not hanging round here just to save the skin of a couple of stinking Humans…' 'S-s-selfish Humans!' grumbled Toothless. 'They n-n-never think of poor, cold H-H-H- HUNGRY Toothless!' One Eye snorted. 'Well, I don't blame them for that. You're just a lap-dragon, an overgrown rat. And YOU shouldn't be hungry anyway. Who ate all the snacks in the sleigh on the way here I'd like to know?
12. 没有牙齿能拯救世界吗? 与此同时,在屋顶上,“无牙”和“独眼”正拍着翅膀躲在《美国梦》里,这时他们听到了嗝嗝掉进洋葱汤里的声音,以及歇斯底里的勇士们冲出去寻找其他刺客的声音。 当一切恢复平静时,它们又飞回了烟囱。 两条龙又冷又饿又累。 独眼的眼睛在黑暗中闪烁着金黄色的光芒。 “我们离开他们好吗?”一只眼自言自语。 “看来他们还没有找到治疗vorpententitis的方法……我不会在这里闲逛,只是为了救两个臭人类的皮……”无牙嘟囔着。 “他们——他们——从来没有想到过可怜的、冰冷的————————饥饿的无牙!”一只眼哼了一声。 “嗯,我不怪他们。 你只是条腿龙,一只长得太大的老鼠。 反正你也不应该饿。 我想知道是谁在来的路上把雪橇上的零食都吃光了?
'…I'll give them till morning,' One Eye decided, letting the rope attached to his leg flop down the chimney and into the Great Hall again, and settling himself in the snow to sleep on the roof. 'My aunt Snaggletooth died of Vorpentitis, and it's a nasty way to go.' 'Toothless not s-s-sleeping here!' moaned Toothless, outraged. 'Iss too cold! Toothless D-D- DELICATE, sensitive…' He checked whether the big dragon was really asleep. One Eye gave a deep rumbling snore and Toothless carried on, '…not like YOU, you big, white, gormless mountain gorilla…' One Eye's one eye snapped open, and his big Sabre-Tooth jaws lashed out towards Toothless… but they shut on thin air, for Toothless had the reflexes of a bluebottle, and he had already tumbled down through the hole in the roof. Toothless soared into the Great Hall, over the heads of the sleeping, mumbling Hysterics, and landed on top of Hiccup's cage. The cage swung violently to the right, and Hiccup's head banged sharply on one of the bars, waking him up. 'Ow!' protested Hiccup, looking straight into the upside-down greengage eyes of his pet dragon. 'Toothless!' he whispered joyfully. 'Thank Thor you're here, you see how right I was to bring you–
“……我给他们留到明天早上。”一只眼决定着,让系在腿上的绳子从烟囱里滑了下来,又进入了大礼堂,然后在屋顶的雪地上躺了下来,睡着了。 “我的姨婆暴齿病是死于vorpententitis,这是一种可怕的死法。“没牙的,别——别睡在这儿!”无牙愤怒地呻吟道。 “太冷了!”没有牙齿的——不——脆弱、敏感……”他检查了一下巨龙是否真的睡着了。 独眼发出一声隆隆的鼾声,无牙继续说下去:“……不像你,你这个又大又白又没脑子的山地大猩猩……”独眼的一只眼睛啪的一声睁开了,它的大剑齿朝无牙扑去……但它们一碰到空气就合上了,因为无牙的反应能力和蓝瓶差不多,而且它已经从屋顶的洞里滚了下去。 无牙飞进了礼堂,飞过那些正在睡觉、嘟囔着的歇斯底里的人的头顶,落在了小嗝嗝的笼子顶上。 笼子剧烈地向右摇晃,小嗝嗝的头重重地撞在一根栏杆上,把他惊醒了。 “噢!小嗝嗝抗议道,直直地盯着他的宠物龙那双上下颠倒的绿眼睛。 “无牙!他高兴地小声说。 “谢谢托尔,你来了,你看我带你来是多么正确。
you can save the day!' 'HA!' grunted Toothless crossly. 'Just flap over to that big frozen Viking over there, will you, and nick the potato, and then we'll be off…' whispered Hiccup. Toothless looked where Hiccup was pointing, to Norbert's Papa, Bigjob, and the casket, and gave a shriek of terror. 'S-s-squealers!' he gasped, and jumped into the cage, burying his face in Hiccup's leg. 'Oh, goodness, yes, I'd forgotten. Squealers can kill a dragon as small as you, can't they?' remembered Hiccup, soothing the little dragon by stroking him on the back. 'OK, DON'T steal the potato, but the key to this cage is in Norbert the Nutjob's pocket, and if you could just flap off and get it…' But Toothless had smelt the Onion Soup on Hiccup's leg, and he gave it a lick. 'Onion S-s-soup!' said Toothless accusingly. 'You bin eating Onion S-s-soup!' 'Yes, yes,' said Hiccup hurriedly, 'I fell in the soup, but about the key—' But this was the last straw as far as Toothless was concerned. He was FURIOUS, and he swelled up to nearly twice the size with anger, and flew out of the cage
你可以拯救世界!“哈!无牙生气地嘟囔着。 “快飞到那边那个冻僵的大个子维京人那儿去,好吗?把土豆抓出来,然后我们就走……”嗝嗝低声说。 无牙看了看小嗝嗝指的地方,诺伯的爸爸、大约伯和棺材,发出一声恐怖的尖叫。 “S-s-squealers !他喘着气,跳进笼子里,把脸埋在嗝嗝的腿上。 “哦,天哪,是的,我忘了。 尖叫者能杀死像你这么小的龙,不是吗?小嗝嗝回忆道,一边抚摸着小龙的后背,安慰它。 “好吧,不要偷土豆,但是这个笼子的钥匙在疯子诺伯的口袋里,如果你能拍拍翅膀把它拿出来……”但是无牙闻到了小嗝嗝腿上的洋葱汤味,他舔了舔。 “洋葱S-s-soup !无牙指责地说。 “你在喝洋葱汤!”“是的,是的,”小嗝嗝急忙说,“我掉进了汤里,但是关于钥匙——”但对无牙来说,这是最后一根稻草了。 他暴跳如雷,气得身子肿了一倍,飞出了笼子
like an infuriated little balloon. 'SNOT fair! SNOT fair!' snorted Toothless. 'You been stuffing yourself with Onion S-s-soup and poor T-t-toothless STARVING and now you want Toothless to f-f-face a whole load of Squealers with no food in his t-t-tummy? TYPICAL! Well, you can just WAIT, that's all… Toothless'll have his supper and THEN maybe he'll help you out…' 'TOOTHLESS!' whispered Hiccup, as loud as he dared, 'THIS IS IMPORTANT! GET THAT KEY RIGHT NOW OR I'LL… I'LL… I'LL…' 'You'll what?' jeered Toothless cheekily, flapping out of Hiccup's way as he desperately tried to grab Toothless's tail through the bars of the cage. Sticking out his little pink forked tongue, Toothless hopped down on to the banqueting tables and tucked into the roast buffalo pie, ignoring Hiccup's furious, frustrated whispers from the cage swinging a couple of metres above. 'Toothless can't hear!' sang Toothless through a mouthful of pumpkin. 'Got s-s-something in his ear! Oooooh, that rhymes… Toothless ca-a-an't he-ar, got something in his e-ar! Toothless ca-a-an't he-ar, got something in his e-ar!' And for the next five minutes, Toothless
就像一个愤怒的小气球。 “鼻涕公平!鼻涕公平!无牙哼了一声。 “你一直在吃洋葱汤和可怜的无牙饿肚子,现在你想让无牙面对一大堆肚子里没有食物的尖叫者?” 典型的!“好吧,你就等着吧,就这样……无牙会吃晚饭,然后也许他会帮你……”嗝嗝鼓起最大的勇气低声说,“这很重要!马上把钥匙拿来,否则我就……我就……我就……”“你就什么?”小嗝嗝拼命地想从笼子的栅栏里抓住无牙的尾巴,无牙无耻地讥笑道,扇动着翅膀给他让路。 “无牙”伸出粉红色的分叉舌头,跳上餐桌,大口大口地吃着烤水牛派,根本不理会从几米高的笼子里传来的小嗝嗝愤怒、沮丧的低语。 “无牙听不见!”无牙嘴里叼着南瓜唱着。 “耳朵里有东西!”喔喔喔,这很押韵…没牙的猫,它的爪子里有东西!没有牙齿的猫——它——它是不是——它的——眼睛里有东西!”接下来的五分钟,是无牙
pretended to be quite deaf, and took his time hopping from plate to plate, gorging himself on deep-fried mackerel, turkey wings and sweetcorn fritters. Eventually, he swallowed the last remains of the pie, took a big swig of the Home-made Nettle Champagne, burped and rubbed his stomach contentedly. 'That's b-b-better. Toothless can hear now. Wossat you saying?' 'WILL YOU GET THAT KEY FROM NORBERT THE NUTJOB'S POCKET BEFORE HE MURDERS THE LOT OF US?' hissed Hiccup at the top of his whisper. 'S-s-say pretty please…' sang Toothless. 'Pretty please,' whispered Hiccup through gritted teeth. 'OK, OK, keep your hair on,' said Toothless, and he took off (rather wobbly, because he had eaten so much), and crashlanded on Norbert the Nutjob's chest. Luckily, Norbert was so dead to the world he merely grunted, and hugged his axe a little closer. Giggling, Toothless snipped off both of Norbert the Nutjob's fancy moustaches with two bites of his sharp little gums, and then he staggered into Norbert's pocket and pulled out the key.
他假装耳聋,不慌不忙地从一个盘子跳到另一个盘子,狼吞虎咽地吃着油炸鲭鱼、火鸡翅和甜玉米油饼。 最后,他吞下了剩下的馅饼,喝了一大口自制的荨麻香槟,打了个嗝,心满意足地揉了揉肚子。 “这是b-b-better。无牙现在能听见了。 你在说什么?“在疯子诺伯特把我们都杀了之前,你能从他的口袋里把钥匙拿出来吗?”小嗝嗝压低声音嘶嘶地说。 “请——请——请说……”无牙唱道。 “非常感谢。”小嗝嗝咬着牙小声说。 “好了,好了,别乱发脾气。”无牙说着就起飞了(他吃得太多了,身子摇摇晃晃),重重地落在疯子诺伯的胸口上。 幸运的是,诺伯对这个世界已经麻木了,他只是咕哝了一声,把他的斧头抱得更紧了一点。 无牙咯咯地笑着,用他那锋利的小牙床咬了两口,把疯子诺伯的花里胡气的胡子都剪掉了,然后摇摇晃晃地走进诺伯的口袋,掏出钥匙。
Toothless marched across the banqueting table with the key in his mouth, spitting it out every now and then to make pointed remarks to Hiccup. 'Is TYPICAL,' snorted Toothless. 'T-t-typical. Poor old starving T-t-toothless, woken up from his H- h-hibernation Nap just to save the day YET AGAIN.' Toothless put the key back in his mouth, and this time, his large, overfull belly prevented him from seeing exactly where he was putting his feet, and he tripped over
无牙嘴里叼着钥匙,大步走过宴会桌子,时不时地吐出来,对小嗝嗝指指点点。 “很典型。”无牙哼着鼻子说。 “T-t-typical。可怜又饿又没牙的老家伙,刚从冬眠中醒来,就为了再一次拯救世界。”无牙又把钥匙放回嘴里,这一次,他又大又饱的肚子使他看不清自己的脚放在什么地方,他绊倒了
