6 Welcome to the Meathead Public Library

6. WELCOME TO THE MEATHEAD PUBLIC LIBRARY 'EEEEAAAARGH!' screamed Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, swinging violently this way and that, trying to get his other hand back on the ledge. 'STEALTH DRAGON! HELP ME!' The Stealth Dragon would have been happy to help out. Unfortunately, however, it did not hear Hiccup's desperate cries. It, too, had caught sight of the Lesser Squirrelserpent, and it hadn't eaten since the previous evening. Appetite had won out over military discipline, and the Stealth Dragon was already a hundred metres away, swooping after the unfortunate Squirrelserpent like a sparrowhawk after a mouse. ZZZZZZING! A wickedly sharp Northbow arrow narrowly missed taking off the tip of Hiccup's nose. ZZZZZZING-THUNK! ZZZZZZING-THUNK! Two more wickedly sharp Northbow arrows plunged deep into the backpack slung over Hiccup's shoulder.

6. 欢迎来到笨蛋公共图书馆！可怕的黑线鳕第三号嗝嗝尖叫着，猛烈地晃来晃去，想把另一只手抓回窗台上。 “隐形龙!帮我!”隐形龙会很乐意帮忙的。 然而，不幸的是，它没有听到小嗝嗝绝望的呼喊。 它也看见了小松鼠蛇，从前一天晚上起就没有吃过东西。 胃口战胜了军纪，隐形龙已经在一百米开外，像雀鹰追老鼠一样扑向那只不幸的松鼠蛇。 ZZZZZZING !一支非常锋利的北弓箭，差一点就射中了小嗝嗝的鼻尖。 ZZZZZZING-THUNK !ZZZZZZING-THUNK !又有两支凶狠锐利的北弓箭深深地扎进了小嗝嗝肩上的背包里。

Released from their chains, the snarling Driller-Dragons spread their black wings and leapt into the air, the drills on the ends of their noses viciously whirring, flying swiftly upward towards where the boy was hanging. Two pairs of hands closed over Hiccup's wrist, and Camicazi and Fishlegs, who were now kneeling on the window ledge, hauled him upwards with a strength they did not know they had, through a hail of arrows. They were only just in time.

那些咆哮的钻龙挣脱了锁链，展开黑色的翅膀，腾空而起，鼻尖上的钻子恶毒地呼呼地响着，飞快地飞向男孩被吊着的地方。 两双手抓住了小嗝嗝的手腕，卡米卡齐和鱼腿跪在窗台上，用一种他们自己都不知道的力量，穿过一阵箭雨，把他拉了上来。 他们来得正是时候。

As they dragged him through the window and into the Library, the drill of the Leading Driller- Dragon just missed the back of Hiccup's heels. The Dragon howled in fury, for the window was too small for it to enter. 'Oh, thank Thor you're safe,' panted Camicazi as they all now stood inside in the gloom of the Library, while the Driller-Dragons revved up their drills to an excruciating whine and screamed in frustrated fury outside.

当他们把他从窗户拖进图书馆的时候，领头钻龙的钻头正好打在小嗝嗝的脚后跟上。 巨龙愤怒地嚎叫着，因为窗户太小，它进不去。 “哦，谢天谢地，托尔，你安全了。”卡米卡齐喘着气说，这时他们全都站在图书馆里面，漆黑一片，钻龙正在外面加快钻头的速度，发出刺耳的呜咽声，沮丧地愤怒地尖叫。

'You call this safe?' coughed Fishlegs, sarcastically. 'AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!' screamed Hiccup, Fishlegs, Camicazi and Toothless, falling back as a terrifying six-foot-long drill, sharp and spinning, sliced through the air between the four of them. The Leading Driller-Dragon was not going to be defeated.

“你管这叫安全？”鱼腿讥讽地咳嗽道。 “AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH !小嗝嗝、鱼腿、卡米卡齐和无牙尖叫着，一把六英尺长的、锋利的、旋转着的可怕钻头在他们四个人之间划过，他们后退了。 龙头钻龙是不会被打败的。

In a blinding rage it had thrown itself at the window, cracking it wider so that it could shove its gigantic head and one outstretched arm through the opening. bellowed the Driller-Dragon, shaking its head wildly from side to side, as it tried to push its way in.

它怒不可遏地扑向窗户，把窗户砸得更大，好把它那巨大的脑袋和伸出来的一只胳膊伸进去。 钻龙吼道，一边疯狂地摇着脑袋，一边想挤进去。

Two great cracks appeared on either side of the window, as the brickwork burst, splitting the room from floor to ceiling… the Monstrous Creature gripped the edge of the opening with its one arm and H-E-A-V-E-D its way forward. It had already worked one gigantic muscled shoulder through… Hiccup watched in fascinated horror as its drill whirred even faster in its excitement… two seconds more and it would be in the room with them… …and Hiccup grabbed the nearest thing to hand, which happened to be a small marble statuette of the god Thor resting on a podium, and lobbed it at the dragon's head as hard as he could. By total fluke, it caught the Creature right between the eyes, totally depressing and wiping out a spot about the size of a large pimple that just happened to contain the Driller-Dragon's entire brain. Even a Driller-Dragon cannot function without the use of its brain, small as that brain might be. One second the Creature was plunging forward, roaring maniacally. The next it collapsed, as limp as a lettuce, and as dead as a dinosaur, its limbs jerking a little for a moment, and then going still. Only its drill continued to whir, but more and more slowly.

窗户两边出现了两道巨大的裂缝，砖墙爆裂了，把房间从地板裂到了天花板……怪物用一只胳膊抓住了洞口的边缘，“轰”——“轰”——“轰”——“轰”地往前走。 它已经钻透了一个巨大的肌肉发达的肩膀……希卡普惊恐地看着它的钻头在兴奋中转得更快了……再过两秒钟，它就会和他们在一起了... ...，希卡普抓起手边最近的东西，碰巧是一个托尔神的大理石小雕像，放在一个讲台上，用尽全力朝龙的脑袋扔去。 完全幸运的是，它正好击中了那个怪物的眉心，让人完全沮丧，并消灭了一个大痘痘大小的地方，而这个痘痘恰好包含了钻龙的整个大脑。 即使是钻龙，如果不使用它的大脑也无法运作，尽管它的大脑可能很小。 前一秒，那怪物还在向前猛冲，疯狂地咆哮着。 下一秒，它瘫倒了，像莴苣一样软弱无力，像恐龙一样死气沉沉，四肢抽搐了一会儿，然后就静止了。 只有它的钻头还在呼呼作响，但越来越慢了。
