10 Toothless’s Adventure in the Cooking Tent

10. TOOTHLESS'S ADVENTURE IN THE COOKING TENT It was Toothless who provided the answer to the Escape Problem. One afternoon Hiccup looked down from the crow's nest and spotted Stormfly and Toothless creeping out of the Cooking Tent. They had sneaked in there while the Cook was having a thoughtful chat with Norbert, as Norbert checked his Great Map of America. Both dragons were flying extremely erratically. Stormfly had turned every colour of the rainbow, and was letting out little hiccups in fiery explosions of golden smoke as she somersaulted and cartwheeled through the air. Toothless appeared to be flying upside-down. He too was hiccupping, and with every hiccup, a little stream of golden bubbles blew out of his nose. 'What ARE they doing?' asked Camicazi, in danger of falling off the mast as she peered down at the little dragons' eccentric progress. 'They look like they're DRUNK,' said Fishlegs in amazement. Toothless got entangled in the rigging, and the

10. 无牙在烹饪帐篷里的冒险是无牙提供了逃跑问题的答案。 一天下午，小嗝嗝从乌鸦窝往下看，发现暴风蝇和无牙正从烹饪帐篷里爬出来。 他们溜进去的时候，厨子正在和诺伯特进行一番深思熟虑的交谈，诺伯特正在查看他的《美洲大地图》。 两条龙都飞得极不规律。 暴风虻已经变成了彩虹的每一种颜色，当她在空中翻筋斗和侧手翻时，她发出一阵小小的打嗝声，喷出熊熊的金色烟雾。 无牙似乎是倒着飞的。 他也在打嗝儿，每打一个嗝，就有一股金色的泡泡从他鼻子里喷出来。 “他们在干什么？”卡米卡齐问道，眼看着小龙们古怪的行动，她差点从桅杆上掉下来。 “他们看起来好像喝醉了。”鱼腿惊讶地说。 无牙被索具缠住了，然后

Stormfly was so helpless with giggles she could barely free him. 'Isshh v-v-very TANGLY, thish air,' Hiccup could hear Toothless saying. Eventually they got going again, and they flew past Hiccup's perch. 'Who ISH this tall gentleman?' asked Toothless, as he bashed into the mast for the second time. 'He keepsh getting in my way.' 'Toothless! Stormfly!' Hiccup called out. 'Come over here!'

暴风蝇笑得无可奈何，她几乎无法把他解救出来。 “我——我——我的空气很难闻。”嗝嗝听见无牙在说。 最后他们又出发了，飞过嗝嗝的栖木。 “这位高个子先生是谁？”无牙第二次撞到桅杆上，问道。 “他老是挡我的路。“无牙!Stormfly !”小嗝嗝喊道。 “到这儿来！”

'That b-b-boy over there s-s-seemsh to be calling you,' Toothless advised the Stormfly. 'Hic… whoops… shorry…' They flapped over to where Hiccup and Camicazi and Fishlegs were sitting, and they were burping and swaying and exploding with bubbles. 'What have you been doing?' scolded Hiccup. 'I TOLD you not to go near that Cooking Tent…' 'I haven't been anywhere near the Cooking Tent, have you, Toothless?' drawled Stormfly.

“那边那个——那个——那个男孩——好像在叫你。”无牙对暴风蝇说。 他们拍着翅膀飞到嗝嗝、卡米卡齐和鱼腿坐着的地方，他们正在打嗝，摇晃着，喷出泡泡。 “你在干什么？”小嗝嗝骂道。 “我从来没有靠近过那个做饭的帐篷，你呢，无牙？”暴风苍蝇慢吞吞地说。

The upside-down Toothless nodded so hard great streams of golden bubbles poured out of his ears. 'Absholutely NOT,' he said solemnly, his eyes crossing. 'T-t-toothless NOT go into the Cooking Tent… Toothless N-N-NOT open the lovely shcrumdiddly-delicious j-j-jar of lemonade with the l-l-lovely tickly bubbles… oooh... hic… tee hee… there goes another one… Toothless not there… Toothless… Toothless…' He searched his rather addled brain for a really good excuse this time, and came up with a BELTER. 'Toothless in R-R-Rome,' he said at last. 'Really?' said Hiccup politely, carefully turning Toothless the right way up, and settling him in his arms. 'OR up the chimney,' said Toothless, not quite able to decide which was more convincing. 'With Toothless's good friend, the s-s-senator.' And with that, both Toothless and the Stormfly fell asleep, so suddenly and deeply that the Stormfly fell off her perch, and Camicazi only just caught her in time.

倒立着的无牙使劲地点点头，一大股金色的泡泡从他耳朵里涌了出来。 “绝对不行，”他严肃地说，眼睛交叉着。 “去厨房帐篷……没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——没牙的——打开那瓶可爱的——美味的——柠檬水，还有可爱的——可爱的痒痒的泡泡…… “啊……啊……啊……又来了一个……没有牙齿……没有牙齿……”他在他那相当糊涂的脑子里寻找一个真正好的借口，终于想出了一个腰带。 “没牙——在——罗马。”他最后说。 “真的吗?嗝嗝礼貌地说，小心地把无牙朝上，把他抱在怀里。 “或者从烟囱爬上去。”无牙说，他不知道哪一个更有说服力。 “和无牙的好朋友，那个参议员。”说着，无牙和暴风蝇都睡着了，睡得那么突然，那么沉，暴风蝇从栖木上掉了下来，卡米卡齐刚好及时抓住了它。

They were both snoring like two little hibernating grizzly bears. All around their mouths was a slightly sticky browny-yellow substance. 'Dragon-nip,' said Hiccup thoughtfully. 'There must be a jar of dragon-nip down there in the Cooking Tent.' Dragon-nip was a perfectly harmless but sleep-inducing substance gathered from the sweat glands of the Loafer dragon. 'A spot of dragon-nip in the dinner, and anybody who eats it will be out for the count for the next twelve hours…' said Hiccup. 'OK, guys. I think this could be a good night for us to escape.'

他们都像两只冬眠的小灰熊一样打鼾。 他们的嘴巴周围都是一种略带粘稠的棕黄色物质。 “龙爪，”小嗝嗝若有所思地说。 “烹饪帐篷里一定有一瓶龙舌兰。”龙薄荷是一种完全无害但能诱导睡眠的物质，它是从懒汉龙的汗腺中提取的。 “在晚餐里放一点龙舌兰，谁要是吃了它，就得在接下来的十二个小时里昏倒……” ‘好吧,伙计们。我想这是我们逃离的好机会。”
