13 MEANWHILE, BACK ON BERK

13. MEANWHILE, BACK ON BERK Meanwhile, back on Berk, at exactly the same moment that Alvin unscrewed his hook, a very gloomy Stoick had been standing with his Warriors around him, watching the crush of the deserting crowds at Hooligan Harbor. His rather unpleasant nephew, Snotlout, came sidling up to him, an ingratiating smirk on his ugly mug. "Humungous and Hiccup have already run away," he sneered. "And they've taken The Peregrine Falcon." "THE PEREGRINE FALCON?" roared Stoick the Vast. "They've burgled my Peregrine Falcon?" This was adding insult to injury. Stoick the Vast loved his Peregrine Falcon. It was a beautiful blue and black narrowboat, the fastest in the Archipelago. Not only had that beastly thinks-

13. 与此同时，回到伯克岛与此同时，回到伯克岛，就在阿尔文松开鱼钩的同一时刻，一个非常忧郁的斯托伊克站在他周围的战士们的簇拥下，看着胡利甘港散去的人群的拥挤。 他那令人讨厌的外甥，鼻鼻子，悄悄地向他走来，丑陋的脸上挂着谄媚的笑容。 “胡蒙和嗝嗝已经跑了。”他冷笑着说。 “他们带走了‘游隼号’。” “游隼？”巨人斯托伊克吼道。 “他们偷了我的游隼？”这简直是雪上加霜。 巨人斯托伊克爱他的游隼。 那是一条漂亮的蓝黑相间的窄船，是群岛上最快的船。 不仅有那个畜生的想法

he's-so-cool Humungous led his son astray with this cowardly Running-Away business, he'd had the cheek to do it in Stoick's favorite boat! "Yup," said Snotlout, gleefully fanning the flames of Stoick's wrath. "I saw them only half an hour ago, sailing out of here to the west, as cool as you please." Stoick opened his mouth to explode. And then he shut it again. "To the west?" he said, baffled. "Are you sure they were sailing to the west?" He didn't wait for an answer. He swiveled around to the left, shielding his eyes from the sun with his hand. There, disappearing over the western horizon, he could just see the curved white sail of The Peregrine Falcon. He would recognize that sail anywhere. "Everybody else is deserting to the SOUTH!" bellowed Stoick. "To the west is Lava-Lout Island, the Volcano and all those Extermi-whosits! What is my son doing deserting to the WEST?" Stoick was not the brightest Barbarian in the business, but even he could see that this was a major mistake on the part of his son. Gobber gave a little cough at Stoick's elbow. "Um... I'm not sure he is deserting, Chief. Didn't you hear him say back there in The Thing that he was

胡蒙格斯用这种怯懦的逃跑行为把他的儿子引入歧途，他竟然厚脸皮地在斯托伊克最喜欢的船上这样做！“是啊。”鼻鼻子说，高兴地煽起斯托伊克的怒火。 “我半小时前才看见他们，正从这里向西航行，随你的便。” 斯托伊克张大嘴巴，几乎要爆发了。 然后他又关上了。 “到西边去？”他困惑地说。 “你确定他们是向西航行的吗？”他没等回答。 他向左一转身，用手遮住眼睛，不让阳光照到。 在那里，消失在西方的地平线上，他只能看到游隼号弯弯曲曲的白色帆。 他到哪儿都能认出那只帆。 “其他人都逃到南方去了！”斯托伊克吼道。 “西边是熔岩岛，还有那座火山和所有那些鬼怪！”我儿子为什么要跑到西部去？”斯托伊克并不是这个行业中最聪明的野蛮人，但即使是他也能看出，这是他儿子的一个重大错误。 戈伯对着斯托伊克的胳膊肘轻轻地咳了一声。 “嗯……我不确定他是不是在逃跑，上士。 你没听到他在《怪物》里说他是

going to take the Fire-Stone back to the Volcano to stop it from exploding?" There was a short pause. "Did he?" said Stoick eagerly. Stoick didn't know what to think. On the one hand he was over the moon that his son wasn't deserting after all, and was NOT a traitor to his Tribe, or a disgrace to the noble name of Haddock. On the other hand, this was insanity. Throwing the Fire-Stone back? Risking the Volcano exploding, the Exterminators hatching... It was ridiculous, mad, suicidal... why, it was straight-down-the-line HOOLIGAN HERO behavior! "WELL, WHAT ARE WE ALL DOING HERE TWIDDLING OUR THUMBS FOR, THEN?" roared Stoick. "WE SHOULD BE HELPING THE LAD! LAUNCH THE BLUE WHALE! GET OUT MY BATTLE-AXE! (Thank you, Snotlout, for bringing this to my attention.) DOWN TO THE HARBOR, ONE TWO ONE TWO ONE TWO!" Curses, thought Snotlout. Why did I open my big mouth?

要把火石带回火山去阻止它爆炸吗？”短暂的沉默。 “是吗？”斯托伊克急切地问。 斯托伊克不知道该怎么想。 一方面，他高兴极了，因为他的儿子并没有叛逃，也不是部落的叛徒，也不是阿道克这个高贵姓氏的耻辱。 另一方面，这是疯狂的。 把火石扔回去？ 冒着火山爆发的危险，灭绝者孵化…… 这是荒谬的，疯狂的，自杀的…… 为什么，这是彻头彻尾的流氓英雄行为！“那么，我们大家在这里磨蹭拇指干什么呢？”斯托伊克吼道。 “我们应该帮助这个小伙子！”发射蓝鲸！把我的战斧拿出来！（谢谢你，鼻涕虫，让我注意到这一点。）到港口去，一二一二一二！”“诅咒，”鼻鼻子想。 我为什么要大嘴巴？
