10 Does Anybody Recognise This Lobster Pot

10. DOES ANYBODY RECOGNISE THIS LOBSTER POT? 'Helloo-o-o-o-o-o! Is there anybody in thee- e-re????' Somebody is knocking on my helmet… thought Hiccup woozily. No, that's not possible… I must be dreaming… But the knocking continued, like impatient knocking on a metal door, and the banging rang through Hiccup's sleepy brain. Hang on, I'm coming, don't knock so loudly, he thought, and he answered the call, opening leaden eyelids… Somebody was indeed knocking on his helmet. The Somebody's face was only two inches away from Hiccup's nose, which gave him quite a start. A grinning human Somebody, with a face so heavily tattooed with storms and shipwrecks and trees and giants and serpents that barely a patch of flesh could be seen in between the blue ink.

10. 有人认识这个龙虾锅吗？ “Helloo-o-o-o-o-o !里面有人吗？——e-re????”有人在敲我的头盔……嗝嗝迷迷糊糊地想。 不，那是不可能的……我一定是在做梦……但是敲门声还在继续，就像不耐烦地敲一扇金属门一样，敲门声在小嗝嗝困倦的大脑里回荡。 等一下，我来了，别那么大声敲门，他想，于是他张开铅灰色的眼睑应声而出……确实有人在敲他的头盔。 那个大人物的脸离嗝嗝的鼻子只有两英寸远，这让他吃了一惊。 一个咧着嘴笑的人，脸上纹满了风暴、沉船、树木、巨人和蛇，蓝墨水中间几乎看不到一块肉。

Hiccup sat up, his head aching with a thumping that now seemed to be knocking from within, and his shoulder tingling with a pins-and-needles numbness. He was sitting on the floor. Around him in a circle stood huge figures, men and women, vast and muscled, and as crazily tattooed as the man who had been knocking on Hiccup's helmet, and all with great manacles around their wrists, and chains around their legs from which they dragged stones and heavy weights. They were weighed down further by the astonishing amount of weaponry they were carrying, bows and spears and great leaden swords bristling all around them. BERSERKS, thought Hiccup, and they were indeed. Fishlegs was lying beside him, similarly trussed up in chains, and he was just waking up. They were lying on a great wooden platform in the centre of what looked like the Berserks' treetop village. Behind them, the Windwalker and the Chickenpoxer were chained to a tree. The village was the first treetop village Hiccup had ever come across. Every Berserk house had a mast, and a crow's nest, and a rolled-up sail. The Berserks made their way across the green sea

小嗝嗝坐了起来，他的头隐隐作痛，现在似乎是从里面敲出来的，他的肩膀像针刺一样麻木。 他坐在地板上。 在他的周围站着一圈巨大的人影，有男有女，魁梧而肌肉发达，身上的纹身和敲小嗝嗝头盔的那个人一样疯狂，他们的手腕上都戴着巨大的镣铐，腿上都戴着铁链，从上面拖出石头和重物。 他们携带的武器数量惊人，弓、矛和巨大的铅剑在他们周围竖立起来，这使他们更加不堪重负。 小嗝嗝心想，他们的确是疯子。 鱼腿躺在他身边，同样被铁链捆着，他刚醒过来。 他们躺在一个巨大的木平台上，这个平台看起来像是狂暴战士的树顶村庄的中心。 在他们身后，风行者和鸡力被锁在一棵树上。 这个村庄是Hiccup遇到的第一个树顶村庄。 每个狂暴族的房子都有一根桅杆、一个瞭望台和卷起的帆。 狂暴者穿过绿色的大海

of the jungle canopy by way of a maze of rope bridges that stretched their way across the entire island, forming a gigantic, fragile web. From out of one of the largest of the tree-houses, two men came running so swiftly across the rope bridge that Hiccup's heart was in his mouth for fear that the swaying bridge might snap. They were carrying a shield between them, on which there balanced an extraordinary figure, a giant of a man giving a gigantic yawn as he sat bolt upright on the shield, so trussed up with chains and padlocks that he looked for all the world as if he were in a metal straitjacket. His padlocked arms were bound close about his chest, his legs were chained in a crossed position, his eyes were closed as if in prayer, his back was ramrod straight. The shield-bearers placed the shield carefully on the wooden platform, and one of the shield- bearers unlocked the many padlocks festooning this extraordinary man. Chain after chain fell down, clattering on to the wooden bridge. The man still sat there in the legs-crossed position, eyes closed, as if he were a statue. Then, very slowly, he began to uncross his legs, still wound with many ropes of chains but now no longer bound together.

在丛林的树冠上通过迷宫般的绳索桥延伸到整个岛屿，形成了一个巨大而脆弱的网。 从其中一个最大的树屋里，有两个人飞快地跑过绳桥，小嗝嗝的心都提到了嗓子眼，生怕摇晃的桥会折断。 他们中间拿着一面盾牌，盾牌上站着一个非同寻常的人，一个巨人，笔直地坐在盾牌上，打了一个大大的呵欠，身上被锁链和挂锁捆得严严实实，看上去就像穿着一件金属紧身衣。 他被锁住的双臂紧紧地绑在胸前，双腿被锁在一起交叉着，他的眼睛闭着，好像在祈祷，他的背笔直。 拿盾牌的人小心翼翼地把盾牌放在木平台上，其中一个拿盾牌的人打开了挂在这位非凡人物身上的许多挂锁。 一根又一根的铁链掉了下来，哗啦哗啦地落在木桥上。 那人仍然盘腿坐在那里，闭着眼睛，好像他是一尊雕像。 然后，非常缓慢地，他开始解开他的腿，仍然缠绕着许多铁链，但现在不再捆绑在一起了。

He got to his feet and planted them firmly apart, to the gasps and cheers of the watching crowd. Slowly, slowly, he raised his fists, with the chains still trailing from them like the wings of some great bird or dragon.

他站了起来，在观众的喘息和欢呼中，把他们牢牢地分开。 慢慢地，慢慢地，他举起拳头，手上还拖着锁链，就像某种大鸟或巨龙的翅膀。
