15 The Hairy Librarian Gets Scary

15. THE HAIRY LIBRARIAN GETS SCARY Bertha jumped a foot in the air and her plaits shot out from the side of her head, all of a tremble. She spun around with really quite impressive quickness for a woman of her girth, and nearly fainted with relief when she saw it was only the Hairy Scary Librarian, standing in the stable doorway with a Northbow pulled back ready to shoot. 'Oooh, Hairy, it's only you, thank Thor,' she said, pressing her hand to her gigantic chest. 'I thought you might be Madguts the Murderous…' 'SHUT IT, BERTHA, AND PUT YOUR THIEVING HANDS OVER YOUR BURGLAROUS HEAD,' advised the Librarian. It occurred to Bertha and Stoick that the Librarian was looking rather more agitated than normal. He had always been a little unstable, but the Itchyworms-down-the-trousers-incident had driven him over the edge. There was a mad glint in his eye, a large lump on his head, and a stray Itchyworm left down one side was making his whole body tremble. 'Err… you're looking a little peaky, Hairy,' said

15. 伯莎在空中跳了一英尺，她的辫子从她的头侧面伸出来，浑身颤抖。 她转过身来，对于她这种身材的女人来说，速度真是快得令人印象深刻。当她看到原来是可怕的多毛图书管理员站在马厩门口，拉着一把北弓准备射击时，她松了一口气，差点晕过去。 “哦，毛毛，是你啊，谢谢托尔。”她把手按在自己巨大的胸膛上说。 “闭嘴，伯莎，把你那偷东西的手放在你那偷东西的头上。”图书管理员建议道。 伯莎和斯托伊克突然想到图书管理员看起来比平时更激动。 他的情绪一向有点不稳定，但裤裆里的痒虫事件把他逼到了崩溃的边缘。 他的眼睛里闪着疯狂的光芒，头上有一个大肿块，一侧留下了一只流浪的瘙痒虫，使他全身颤抖。 “嗯……你看起来有点憔悴，大毛。

Bertha, politely humouring the Librarian by putting her hands over her head. 'Do you think you need a little lie-down?' 'YOU BETCHA I'M LOOKING A LITTLE BIT PEAKY!' shrieked the Hairy Scary Librarian. 'YOUR LITTLE HOOLIGAN AND BOG-BURGLAR BRATS HAS BEEN SNEAKINGS INTO MY LIBRARY, AND STEALING ONE OF MY BOOKS!' 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!' roared Stoick the Vast, genuinely bewildered. 'AND HOW DARE YOU THREATEN ME, STOICK THE VAST, ON MY VERY OWN ISLAND! GET OFF MY LAND, OR I WILL THROW YOU OFF!' 'You are on the wrong end of this arrow,' pointed out the Hairy Scary Librarian, 'and therefore not in a position to give out orders. Your brats have been trespassing,' he continued, 'and have stolen one of my books…' 'You must have mistaken them for somebody else,' said Stoick the Vast, with less of a bellow as he realised that the Hairy Scary Librarian had a point about the being-on-the-wrong-end-of-the-arrow. 'One barbarian child looks very like another…'

伯莎礼貌地把双手放在头上，以迁就图书管理员。 “你觉得你需要躺一会儿吗？”“你敢打赌，我看起来有点憔悴！”多毛吓人的图书管理员尖叫道。 “你的小流氓和小强盗溜进了我的图书馆，还偷了我的一本书！”“我不知道你在说什么！”巨人斯托伊克吼道，他真的很困惑。 “你怎么敢在我自己的岛上威胁我，浩瀚的大海！”滚出我的土地，不然我就把你扔下去！“你站在这支箭的另一端，”毛茸茸的可怕的图书管理员指出，“因此你没有资格发号施令。 “你一定是把他们认错人了。”巨人斯托伊克说，意识到毛茸茸的可怕的图书管理员说的箭的末端是错的，他的怒吼声减少了。 “一个野蛮人的孩子长得很像另一个……”

'Not your child,' screeched the Librarian, 'your child is very different from most decent Viking children… small skinny boy with bright red hair, ridiculously scrawny for the son of a Chief…' 'There are lots of Viking children who haven't had their growth spurt yet!' protested Stoick defiantly. 'It could have been anybody!' 'Was with a boy with a face like a fish and a girl with light fingers and no manners,' continued the Hairy Scary Librarian. 'My Camicazi isn't the nicking-things type!' cried Big-Boobied Bertha. (Bertha had her

“不是你的孩子，”图书管理员尖声说，“你的孩子和大多数正派的维京孩子很不一样……瘦小的男孩，长着一头鲜红的头发，作为酋长的儿子，骨瘦如柴得可笑……”斯托伊克挑衅地抗议道。 “可能是任何人！”“和一个长着一张鱼脸的男孩和一个手指很轻、没有礼貌的女孩在一起。”毛茸茸的恐怖图书管理员继续说。 “我的Camicazi不是那种偷东西的人！”大胸伯莎叫道。 (伯莎抓住了她

fingers firmly crossed above her head.) 'All Bog-Burglars is the nicking-things type!' screeched the Hairy Scary Librarian. 'They'd nick the trees from the woods if they could fit 'em in they's pockets! And I caughts the little magpies red-handed pilfering my very last copy of How to Train Your Dragon!' screeched the Librarian. Stoick started guiltily. 'HA!' cried the Librarian triumphantly. 'So you do knows what I is talking about! You all try and steal books off me, don't you, and fair enough I suppose,

手指紧紧地交叉在她的头顶上。)“所有的沼泽窃贼都是偷东西的那种！”毛茸茸的可怕的图书管理员尖叫道。 “只要口袋里装得下，他们就会把树从树林里砍下来！”我还当场抓住了小喜鹊偷我最后一本《驯龙高手》！图书管理员尖声说。 斯托伊克开始感到内疚。“哈!图书管理员得意洋洋地叫道。 “这么说你知道我在说什么了！”你们都想偷我的书，是吗，我想这很公平，

we are Vikings, but those who gets caught in my Library have to pay the price, which is death on the spot, no questions asked. But did they's have the decency to put their hands up and let me poke them with my Heart-Slicers?' His hissing, whiny voice rose in outrage. 'Oh no, not them, they bonked me on the head, and put Itchyworms down my trousers! I don't know what the younger generation is coming to!' Stoick the Vast couldn't help grinning with pride when he heard this information. Well done, Hiccup! he thought exultantly. Stoick's secret smile drove the Hairy Scary Librarian wild with temper, and he let fly the arrow, which cut off Big-Boobied Bertha's left plait, and he had fastened another arrow in the bow before Bertha and Stoick had had time to blink. 'TELL ME WHERE THE THIEVING LITTLE MAGPIES IS OR THE NEXT ARROW GOES INTO STOICK HERE.' Bertha tried to bluster her way out of the situation. 'I really don't know what you're talking about,' she bellowed, 'and I haven't seen my daughter since this morning anyway.' The Hairy Scary Librarian let fly his next arrow, which flew straight into the chest of Stoick the Vast.

我们是维京人，但在我的图书馆里被抓住的人必须付出代价，那就是当场死亡，不许问任何问题。 可是他们有礼貌地举起手来，让我用切心刀戳他们吗？”他的嘶嘶、哀怨的声音因愤怒而提高了。 “哦，不，不是他们，他们敲我的头，把痒虫放进我的裤子里！”我不知道年轻一代会变成什么样子！”当巨人斯托伊克听到这个消息时，不禁骄傲地笑了。 干得好，小嗝嗝！他兴高采烈地想。 斯托伊克神秘的微笑使毛吓人的图书管理员大发雷霆，他一箭射出，割断了大胸伯莎的左辫子，伯莎和斯托伊克还没来得及眨眼，他就又在船头系上了一支箭。 “告诉我那些偷东西的小喜鹊在哪里，否则下一支箭就会射进这里。”伯莎试图通过咆哮摆脱困境。 “我真不知道你在说什么，”她吼道，“反正从今天早上起我就没见过我女儿。”毛茸茸的可怕的图书管理员射出了他的下一支箭，这支箭直接飞进了巨人斯托伊克的胸膛。

And this was where the Hairy Scary Librarian lost control of the situation. For instead of falling down as dead as a dinosaur, Stoick calmly removed the arrow from his breast and snapped it in two. 'B-b-but that's impossible!' stammered the Hairy Scary Librarian, turning very white. 'HOW IS YOU DOING THAT?' The Northbow is the deadliest, hardest, most accurate bow in the Archipelago. Nobody gets hit by a Northbow arrow and lives to tell the tale. The Hairy Scary Librarian re-loaded his bow and was about to shoot again. But he didn't get the chance. An enormous, practically invisible dragon appeared out of nowhere and landed on him. Squashing him. Flat.

就在这里，毛茸茸的恐怖图书管理员失去了对局面的控制。 斯托伊克并没有像恐龙一样倒地而死，而是平静地从胸前取出箭，啪地一声把它折成两半。 “那——那——那是不可能的！”多毛吓人的图书管理员结结巴巴地说，脸色变得煞白。 “你是怎么做到的？”北弓是群岛上最致命，最坚硬，最精确的弓。 没人被北弓之箭射中还能活着讲故事。 毛茸茸的可怕的图书管理员重新装好了他的弓，准备再次射击。 但他没有机会。 一条巨大的、几乎看不见的龙不知从哪里冒出来，落在他身上。 被压扁他。平的。
