4 Tea with UG the Uglithug

4. TEA WITH UG THE UGLITHUG 'Tea?' said Stoick in a slightly dazed way. 'But it's the middle of the night!' 'From the sound of the Berserks I should say it was about three o'clock in the morning,' said UG the Uglithug. 'They don't really get going with their Dead- of-Night Ceremony until two. Interesting choice of camping spot, by the way, Stoick…' 'It isn't perfect,' Stoick admitted gloomily. The horrible howling from the Isle of Berserk intensified, at a pitch that made goosebumps creep up on the arms as if you were being stroked by nettles and the individual hairs on the back of your neck go shooting upwards like the tentacles on a spiny sea urchin. 'Let's say… ten to three,' amended UG the Uglithug, cocking his head as he listened to the noise. 'Whatever,' said Stoick. 'It's quite late for tea. And I've already eaten.' 'Oh but I insist,' smiled UG the Uglithug. 'Just a picnic, you know, Stoick. A little ten-to-three snack, to welcome you to the Uglithug lands. It's always better to have a difficult conversation over a spot of food.'

4. 喝杯丑陋的茶？斯托伊克有点茫然地说。 “可现在是半夜啊！”“从狂暴者的声音来看，我想大概是凌晨三点左右，”丑陋的格格说。 “他们的夜深人静仪式要到两点才开始。 顺便说一句，这露营地选得真有意思，斯托伊克……”“并不完美，”斯托伊克忧郁地承认。 狂暴岛传来的可怕的嚎叫越来越响，声音大得让人胳膊上起鸡皮疙瘩，就像荨麻在抚摸你一样，你脖子后面的毛发像海胆上多刺的触须一样拔地而起。 “我们说……差十分三点。”丑格格说，听着那声音，他歪着头。 “无所谓，”斯托伊克说。“现在喝茶太晚了。 而且我已经吃过了。“哦，但我坚持，”丑格笑着说。 “只是野餐，你知道的，斯托伊克。 一点小点心，欢迎你来到Uglithug的土地。 为了一点食物而进行一场艰难的谈话总是更好的。”

He clapped his hands. UG's boat was moored beside the broken down The Fat Penguin, and from it the grinning Uglithugs brought out plates and spoons and glasses of mead and hunks of deer and milk and bread and everything you might need for a little snack at ten to three in the morning. Toothless had not had supper with everybody else earlier, because he had been so tired on account of missing his two naps. He had fallen asleep while eating, poor Toothless, just nodded off with his head in the soup, and Hiccup had washed his face and snuggled him up in his waistcoat rather than disturb him. He had slept right through the howling horrifying sound of the Berserk Dead-of-Night Ceremony, and the subsequent Uglithug attack. It was only now that he smelt food that he put his little snuffling nose outside Hiccup's waistcoat and opened bleary eyes. 'F-f-foood!' said Toothless with little whimpers of excitement, instantly drooling, he was so hungry. 'Toothless s-s-s-starving!' 'Now, Toothless, calmly,' warned Hiccup, holding the haddock up to him on a spoon, 'I know you're hungry but don't eat it all at once… it always gives

他拍了拍手。格格的船停泊在坏掉的“胖企鹅号”旁边，咧嘴笑着的格格人从船上拿出一盘、一匙、一杯杯的蜂蜜酒、大块的鹿肉、牛奶、面包，以及凌晨三点差十分你可能需要的零食。 无牙没有和大家一起吃晚饭，因为错过了两次小睡，他太累了。 他吃东西的时候睡着了，可怜的无牙，只是把头浸在汤里打了个盹，嗝嗝给他洗了脸，把他搂在马甲里，不愿打扰他。 他一直在睡觉，直到狂暴的夜深人静仪式发出可怕的嚎叫和随后的乌格里乌格的袭击。 直到现在，他闻到了食物的味道，才把鼻子伸到小嗝嗝的背心外面，睁开了朦胧的眼睛。 “F-f-foood !无牙兴奋地呜咽着说，立刻流口水，他太饿了。 “没有牙齿的s-s-s-starving !“好了，无牙，冷静点，”小嗝嗝用勺子把黑线鳕举到他面前，警告道，“我知道你饿了，但不要一次吃完……它总是会掉的。

you a tummy-ache… slowly, Toothless… little bites… slowly… TOOTHLESS!' Too late. So keen was greedy little Toothless, so hungry was he from flying all over the coves looking for Camicazi, that he not only gobbled up the haddock in one, eager gulp… …he also ate the spoon. 'Oh, Toothless,' sighed Hiccup, breaking off as he saw that UG the Uglithug's daughter was joining them for the meal. Hiccup had caught a glimpse of her before, at the Annual Games, surrounded by bodyguards. 'This is my dear little daughter, Tantrum O'UGerly,' said UG the Uglithug. UG's dear little daughter Tantrum was about six foot two with a lot of flame-red hair and green eyes. A beautiful red Snaredragon had made a nest on her head and she was feeding it acorns. She looked spectacularly beautiful and spectacularly cross. 'Oh for Thor's sake…' squeaked Fishlegs, blushing absolutely scarlet, 'she's looking at us… she's smiling at us… she's waving at us!

“你肚子疼……慢慢地，无牙……一点点咬……慢慢地……无牙！”太迟了。 贪婪的小无牙是如此的热切，他是如此的饥饿，因为他飞遍了所有的海湾寻找Camicazi，他不仅一口吞下黑线鳕，急切地吞下... ...他也吃了勺子。 “哦，无牙。”嗝嗝叹了口气，看到丑格里格的女儿也来和他们一起吃饭，他就打住了。 小嗝嗝以前在年度奥运会上瞥见过她，当时身边围着保镖。 “这是我亲爱的小女儿，特伦姆·奥丑格利。”丑格利格说。 UG亲爱的小女儿坦特姆身高约六英尺二英寸，有着一头火红色的头发和一双绿色的眼睛。 一只美丽的红蛇龙在她的头上做了一个窝，她正在喂它橡子。 她看上去非常漂亮，也非常生气。 “哦，看在雷神的份上，”鱼腿尖叫道，脸涨得通红，“她在看着我们……她在对我们微笑……她在向我们挥手！”

Act natural… act cool… nobody panic…' Fishlegs turned first red, then white, and was so overcome with the emotion of the moment that he fainted dead away, and fell off his chair. 'Oh, very cool, Fishlegs,' said Hiccup, bringing him round and helping him up to the table again, 'very suave. FAINTING always impresses these Amazon Viking hell- kittens. I have to hand it to you, you really know how to wow the ladies. You'll be a real heart-breaker when you get older.' 'Has she stopped looking at us?' asked Fishlegs, with his eyes closed. 'Hang on a second… keep your eyes closed… she's still laughing… and pointing…' said Hiccup. 'No… she's stopped now. She's picking her nose and talking to her neighbour again. You're quite safe, you can open your eyes.' 'She looked at me…' sighed Fishlegs, his hand on his heart. 'Tantrum O'UGerly looked at me… and smiled at me… and waved at me… She's an angel! She's a goddess!' Hiccup stared at Fishlegs as if he was crazy. 'What's the matter with you, Fishlegs, have you gone

鱼腿先是涨红了脸，然后又变白了，他一时激动得昏了过去，从椅子上摔了下来。 “哦，真酷，鱼腿，”嗝嗝说着把他拉过来，扶他回到桌子旁，“真温和。 晕倒总是给这些亚马逊维京地狱小猫留下深刻印象。 我不得不佩服你，你真会取悦女士们。 等你长大了，你会成为一个真正的心碎者。“她不再看我们了吗？”鱼腿闭着眼睛问。 “等一下……闭上眼睛……她还在笑……指着我……” “不……她现在停了。”她又在挖鼻孔和邻居说话了。 你很安全，你可以睁开眼睛了。“她看着我……”鱼腿叹息着，把手放在胸口。 “特伦姆·奥丑格利看着我……对我微笑……向我挥手……她真是个天使！”她是女神！”小嗝嗝盯着鱼腿，好像疯了一样。 “你怎么了，鱼腿，你走了吗？

bananas?' Hiccup checked Fishlegs's eyes for any Berserk tendencies. They tended to go a bit pink when he was in a Berserk kind of mood. 'And where have you seen UG's daughter before?' 'I saw her once at the Annual Games,' admitted Fishlegs. 'My daughter means a lot to me, Stoick,' said UG, with a hint of menace in his tone. 'This is a question of honour and the Barbaric Code. You know the rules. Whoever writes love letters to a daughter without asking permission from the father, must instantly ask for her hand-in-marriage or it is an intolerable insult to her and to her entire Tribe.' Now, in the Barbaric Archipelago, weirdly, one of the most dangerous things you could possibly do was to fall in LOVE. Strangely, it was far more risky than Dragon-riding, or swordfighting, or any of the other perilous pursuits that a young Viking undertook. 'However, as the rules clearly state,' said UG briskly, 'IF the person who wrote these letters is of Royal Blood, they can try and win my daughter's hand by completing a single Impossible Task of MY choosing.' 'And what if the letter-writer is NOT of Royal Blood?' asked Hiccup.

香蕉吗?”嗝嗝检查了鱼腿的眼睛，看有没有狂暴的倾向。 当他处于狂暴的情绪时，它们往往会变得有点粉红色。 “你以前在什么地方见过UG的女儿？”“我在年度运动会上见过她一次，”鱼腿承认。 “我的女儿对我很重要，斯托伊克，”格格说，语气中带着一丝威胁。 “这是一个关于荣誉和野蛮法典的问题。 你知道规矩的。任何未经父亲允许就给女儿写情书的人，都必须立即向女儿求婚，否则这对她和她的整个部落都是不可容忍的侮辱。”现在，在野蛮群岛，奇怪的是，你可能做的最危险的事情之一就是坠入爱河。 奇怪的是，这比骑龙、斗剑或其他任何年轻维京人从事的危险活动都要危险得多。 “不过，正如规则明确规定的，”UG轻快地说，“如果写这些信的人有皇室血统，他们可以通过完成我选择的一项不可能完成的任务来赢得我女儿的手。“如果写信人不是王室血统呢？”小嗝嗝问。
