驯龙高手 · 4 How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse
4. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH FISHLEGS? Hiccup did not sleep well that night. Every time he dropped off, Norbert the Nutjob found him in his dreams, screaming, 'I will GRIND YOU INTO SAND! I WILL CHOP YOU WITH MY CHOPPER!' and Hiccup would wake up again, burningly hot and sweaty. The following day, Toothless woke up in a furious temper because he still wasn't back in Hibernation Sleep. He'd done everything he should have done the night before. He'd taken lots of exercise, drunk a milky drink at bedtime; all for nothing. On the dot of five o'clock the next morning, his greengage eyes opened up, SNAP, like a scallop opening its shell, and that was it for the day, no more sleeping. And that was it for Hiccup too. Toothless crawled up from his place at Hiccup's feet, like a small, enraged hot-water bottle. He stormed up Hiccup's body, digging his sharp little claws into Hiccup's tummy as he went, up to Hiccup's forehead, where he sat and hissed furiously. 'Toothless a-a-awake AGAIN… 'Snot fair… 'Snot fair… WHY Toothless awake? Everyone else a-a-asleep…'
4. 鱼腿有什么问题吗? 嗝嗝那天晚上没睡好。 每次他睡着的时候,疯子诺伯都会在梦里找到他,尖叫着:“我要把你磨成沙子!”我要用我的斧头砍了你!小嗝嗝又会醒来,浑身燥热,汗流浃背。 第二天,无牙生气地醒来,因为他还没有回到冬眠状态。 他在前一天晚上做了他该做的一切。 他做了很多运动,睡前喝了一杯牛奶饮料;一切都白费了。 第二天早上五点整,他那双绿色的眼睛睁开了,啪的一声,就像扇贝打开壳一样,这一天就这样结束了,再也不睡觉了。 小嗝嗝也到此为止了。 无牙从小嗝嗝脚边爬了起来,就像一个愤怒的小热水瓶。 它向嗝嗝的身体冲去,一边跑一边把它那锋利的小爪子伸进嗝嗝的肚子,一直伸到他的额头,他坐在那里,愤怒地发出嘶嘶声。 “没有牙齿又醒了……”“鼻涕虫……”“鼻涕虫……为什么没有牙齿醒着?” 其他人都在睡觉……”
It is not much fun being woken up at five o'clock in the morning by a dragon sitting on your head and hissing angry smoke rings straight up your nostrils. 'Well I'M awake now too,' grumbled Hiccup, coughing sleepily. 'Could you blow those smoke rings somewhere else, I've already got a sore throat…' 'Oh you,' fumed Toothless, blowing out great clouds of furious smoke. 'You're j-j-just a H-h-human, you don't count… us d-d-dragons s-s-sensitive… we n-n-need our sleep.' 'Thank you, Toothless,' said Hiccup through a huge bout of coughing, 'but we don't have to get up now, you know, we can just doze for a bit…' Hiccup turned over on to his other side and snuggled the furs more cosily around his shoulders, so he could snooze for a bit longer. But once Toothless was awake he was AWAKE. The little dragon made a half-hearted pretence of snuggling down next to his Master, and then he bounced up again.
早上五点被坐在你头上的一条龙叫醒,愤怒的嘶嘶烟雾直冲你的鼻孔,这可不是什么好玩的事。 “我现在也醒了,”小嗝嗝嘟囔着,困倦地咳嗽着。 “你能把那些烟圈吹到别的地方去吗,我的喉咙已经痛了……” “你只是——只是——只是个——人类,你不算……我们——我们——我们——我们——我们——我们——我们——我们需要睡眠。”“谢谢你,无牙,”嗝嗝剧烈地咳嗽着说,“不过我们现在不用起来,你知道,我们可以打一会儿盹……”嗝嗝翻了个身,把皮衣更舒服地披在肩膀上,这样他就可以多睡一会儿了。 但一旦无牙醒了,他就醒了。 小龙半心半意地假装依偎在主人身边,然后又跳了起来。
'Toothless get UP now…' he said, flapping around Hiccup's head, tweaking his hair and blowing raspberries in his ears. 'Issa l-l-lovely morning… come on… come on… Toothless h-h-hungry… Hiccup make Toothless b-b-breakfast…' And when that didn't work, Toothless stood on Hiccup's shoulder, held his ear lobe tenderly with one claw, and shrieked right down his ear hole, 'MAYDAY MAYDAY! Toothless need to make p-p-pee-pee RIGHT NOW!' Hiccup sat bolt upright like he'd been shot with an arrow. 'Oh jumping jellyfish, not right now, Toothless, not on the bed again… hang on there, Toothless, just hang on…' Hiccup jumped out of the bed in one hop, on to the freezing cold stone floor, and threw on four layers of furs, with Toothless flapping round his head squawking, 'RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW, Toothless need pee- pee RIGHT NOW.' 'Just hang on!' begged Hiccup. He had to take his mittens off to undo the big bolts on the front door, Toothless shrieking, 'Right now! Right now! Right now!' Hiccup dragged open the door, and the day outside was still as dark as night-time and very, very cold,
“没牙的,快起来……”他说着,拍着小嗝嗝的头,捻着他的头发,往他耳朵里吹覆叶树莓。 “好——好——好——早上好……来吧……来吧……没牙——饿了……小嗝嗝给没牙——做早餐……”结果没用,没牙站在小嗝嗝的肩膀上,用一只爪子温柔地抓住他的耳垂,对着他的耳洞尖声叫道:“MAYDAY, MAYDAY!”没牙的我现在就得嘘嘘嘘嘘!”嗝嗝笔直地坐着,就像中了箭一样。 “噢,会跳的水母,不要现在,无牙,不要再躺在床上了……坚持住,无牙,坚持住……”嗝嗝一跃而起,跳到冰冷的石头地板上,套上四层皮毛,无牙拍着脑袋尖声叫道:“马上,马上,无牙要小便——马上。”“坚持住!”小嗝嗝恳求道。 他不得不脱下连指手套才能打开前门的大门闩,无牙尖声叫道:“马上!现在!现在!”嗝嗝费力地推开门,外面的天仍然像夜晚一样黑,而且非常非常冷,
so cold that the air was like an icy bucket of water being thrown in your face. Toothless flew out, still shrieking, 'Right now! Right now!' and squatted down on the snow a metre out of the front door. 'Well done for hanging on, Toothless,' said Hiccup, banging his hands together to warm them up. Toothless squatted down, a look of pretend concentration furrowing his horns, but nothing seemed to be happening. After a while Toothless got up. 'Toothless NOT need p-p-pee-pee after all…' he said decidedly. Hiccup clapped his mittened hand to his forehead in frustration. Sometimes being the owner of a dragon was VERY HARD WORK. There was no point going back to bed now that he'd got up so Hiccup fixed himself breakfast, and while he did this he had plenty of time to think. Hiccup was worried about Fishlegs. Why had Fishlegs attacked those Hysterics? It was very out of character. Normally Fishlegs would only have to get a sniff of something like a Hysteric and he would snowplough as quickly as possible in the opposite direction. OK, maybe all that falling over had set off his Berserk tendencies, but still, it was a bit peculiar…
冷得就像一桶冰水泼在你脸上。 无牙飞了出去,仍然尖叫着:“马上!现在!然后在离前门一米远的雪地上蹲了下来。 “坚持得好,无牙。”小嗝嗝说着,使劲拍打双手,让它们暖和起来。 无牙蹲了下来,一副假装全神贯注的样子,但似乎什么也没发生。 过了一会儿,无牙站了起来。 “没牙的我根本不需要——嘘——嘘——嘘……” 嗝嗝沮丧地用戴着连指手套的手拍了拍额头。 有时候,当龙的主人是非常辛苦的工作。 既然他已经起床了,就没有必要再回去睡觉了,于是小嗝嗝给自己准备了早餐,在吃早餐的时候,他有足够的时间思考。 小嗝嗝很担心鱼腿。 为什么鱼腿要攻击那些歇斯底里的人? 这很不符合他的性格。 正常情况下,鱼腿只要闻到歇斯底里症的气味,就会尽快向相反的方向扫雪。 好吧,也许是摔倒引起了他的狂暴倾向,不过,还是有点奇怪……
And Fishlegs hadn't been looking too well, lately, either. Lots of sneezing and shivering, and that couldn't be caused by being a Berserk. It was almost like there was something WRONG WITH HIM… An hour or so later, the door was flung open so wildly it nearly fell off its hinges, and Hiccup's father, Stoick the Vast, stomped into the room looking for his breakfast, like a six-and-a-half-foot earthquake, yawning so wide you could see his tonsils. Stoick the Vast was exactly what you might expect a Viking to be– loads of beard and not a lot of neck, masses of muscles but not a lot going on in the BRAIN department. 'Made some porridge, have you, son?' he roared. 'Excellent, excellent.' Stoick didn't bother putting the porridge into a bowl. He simply removed the cauldron from the fire, sat down at the table, and drank the porridge straight from the pot. 'Father?' said Hiccup. 'Mmm?' said Stoick absent-mindedly, as he tipped his great head back and drank the last dregs of porridge, a lot of it running down his beard in a sticky, lumpy river. 'I wonder if you can help me… I've been worrying about Fishlegs…' said Hiccup. Stoick finished the porridge with a great
鱼腿最近看起来也不太好。 不停地打喷嚏和颤抖,这不可能是狂暴造成的。 大约一个小时后,门被猛地打开,几乎从铰链上掉下来,小嗝嗝的父亲,巨人斯托伊克,像一场6.5英尺高的地震一样,跺着脚走进房间找早餐,打着大大的哈欠,你可以看到他的扁桃体。 巨大的斯托伊克正是你所期望的维京人——大量的胡须,没有太多的脖子,大量的肌肉,但没有太多的大脑部门。 “煮粥了吧,儿子?”他吼道。 出色的,优秀的。斯托伊克懒得把粥倒进碗里。 他只是把锅从火上移开,坐在桌子旁,直接从锅里喝粥。 “父亲?小嗝嗝说。“嗯?斯托伊克心不在焉地说,他的大脑袋向后仰,喝下了最后一点粥渣,很多粥顺着他的胡子流成了一条粘稠、凹凸不平的河。 “不知道你能不能帮帮我……我一直在担心鱼腿……” 斯托伊克喝完了粥
