驯龙高手 · 9 How to Steal a Dragon's Sword
23. FLY, WINDWALKER, FLY One second the Vikings were fighting a losing battle. The next, thousands and thousands of dragons let out a simultaneous scream. The entire dragon army, the Dragon Furious himself, and dragons in their thousands, flew in screaming blood-lust pursuit after the boy on the dragon. The Windwalker let out a petrified scream like that of a trapped fox. He buzzed around in crazy circles in the patch of light, looping the loop
23. 快飞,风行者,快飞前一秒维京人还在打一场必败的仗。 下一秒,成千上万的龙同时发出尖叫。 整个龙的军队,狂怒的龙,和成千上万的龙,尖叫着,嗜血地追逐着龙上的男孩。 风行者发出一声惊恐的尖叫,就像一只被困住的狐狸。 他在那片光斑里疯狂地转着圈,绕着圈飞
as if that was helpful. 'Fly, Windwalker, fly,' whispered Stoick from down below, forgetting for a moment that he was a slave, and willing his son on. 'Fly, or they'll tear him to pieces…' With a dreadful whinnying snort, the Windwalker came to his senses and shot off in a random direction. Panting, shocked, blackened, the Vikings found their enemy had deserted them as suddenly as they had attacked. Craning their necks upwards, they could see the entire dragon army up there in the firmament, swarming from horizon to horizon, from sky tip to sky tip, like a swarm of angry hornets chasing a tiny little gnat.
好像那有帮助似的。“飞吧,风行者,飞吧,”斯托伊克在下面低声说,他暂时忘记了自己是个奴隶,并让他的儿子上了飞机。 “快飞,不然他们会把他撕成碎片的……”风行者发出一声可怕的呜呜的鼻息,恢复了知觉,朝任意一个方向飞奔而去。 维京人气喘吁吁,震惊不已,浑身发黑,他们发现敌人突然抛弃了他们,就像他们突然袭击他们一样。 他们抬起脖子,可以看到整个龙军在天空中,从地平线到地平线,从天空的一端到天空的一端,像一群愤怒的大黄蜂追逐一只小小的蚊子。
The gnat that was Hiccup dashed this way and that, up, down, zig-zagging, looping, with the entire murderous swarm zooming after him, breaking up as they doubled back on themselves, re-forming, closing in, droning the chilling Red-Rage as they flew. 'He's going to tire!' whispered Camicazi, hopping from foot to foot in anxiety, 'they'll catch him when he tires!' What an unpleasant smile was on the face of Alvin the Treacherous as he stared upwards into the sky. 'And that,' he drawled, 'that is the end of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, by the ghost of my good right hand it is…' Alvin turned and faced his new subjects, back straight, face stern, every inch a King. 'Vikings, we are now at WAR! War outright, bloody and terrible. Shall our brother comrades lying dead about us, ripped and scorched to death by the talons and the fire of these vermin, shall they all have died in vain?' Cries of 'No!' from the furious, devastated Vikings. 'We shall not sleep, brother Vikings, we shall not close our eyes. We shall return to our islands and build
那只小蚊子就是小嗝嗝,它东冲西窜,上、下、之字形、盘旋,整群凶残的蚊子在它后面狂奔,它们一边折返一边散开,重新组合,步步逼近,一边嗡嗡地鸣叫着令人心寒的“红色狂怒”。 “他要累了!”卡米卡齐悄声说,焦急地跳来跳去,“等他累了,他们会抓住他的!”背信弃义的阿尔文抬头望着天空,脸上露出了多么令人不快的微笑啊! “好了,”他慢吞吞地说,“嗝嗝·可怕的黑线鳕鱼三世就这样结束了,我凭我那好右手的鬼魂发誓……”阿尔文转过身来,面对着他的新臣民,背挺直,脸严肃,完全是个国王。 “维京人,我们现在开战了!”战争赤裸裸、血腥而可怕。 难道我们的兄弟同志躺在我们周围死去,被这些害虫的魔爪和火焰撕裂和烧焦,他们都白白死去了吗?”“不!”来自愤怒的,被摧毁的维京人。 “我们不会睡觉,维京兄弟,我们不会闭上眼睛。 我们将回到我们的岛屿上建造
weapons of war so gruesome and so murderous that these dragons could not even dream of them. We shall not rest till every forked-tongue crocodile lies dead and wingless at our feet. Extinction, brother Vikings! We are aiming for extinction!' You must not blame the Vikings' reaction here, readers. Remember that all around them were the sad bodies of their fallen comrades. Remember the shock of their domestic dragons rebelling against them. They were grieved and shocked out of their normal senses. 'From now on,' yelled Alvin, 'you must kill every dragon on sight, no questions asked! Swear to me that you will.' The Vikings swore that terrible oath. This is the way that wars begin. And that was how the last Great War between humans and dragons finally came about. And how Alvin, loathed by many, became the leader of the human army. Wars make strange and terrible leaders. 'To the boats!' yelled Alvin. 'Before the dragons return!' And then, in an aside to Bellicose, the leader of the Bashem-Oiks: 'Take this Stoick to the Uglithug
战争武器如此可怕,如此凶残,以至于这些龙做梦也想不到。 直到每只分叉舌头的鳄鱼都死在我们脚下,没有翅膀,我们才会休息。 灭绝,维京兄弟!我们的目标是灭绝!”读者们,你不能责怪维京人的反应。 请记住,他们的周围都是战友的尸体。 记得他们的家龙背叛他们时所受的惊吓。 他们悲痛欲绝,震惊得失去了理智。 “从现在开始,”阿尔文喊道,“你必须杀死每一条看见的龙,不许问任何问题!向我发誓你会的。”维京人发了那个可怕的誓言。 战争就是这样开始的。 这就是人类和龙之间的最后一次大战最终发生的原因。 以及被许多人厌恶的阿尔文如何成为人类军队的领袖。 战争造就了奇怪而可怕的领导人。 “到船上去!”阿尔文喊道。 “在恶龙回来之前!”然后,他对巴什姆-奥克斯的首领贝利克斯说:“把这个斯托伊克带到乌格里乌格去
Slavelands. Be sure to put the Mark upon him, like that traitor his son.' And to the Hooligans: 'I declare the next Chief of the Hooligan Tribe should be this Snotface Snotlout, in honour of his noble act exposing the treachery of Stoick and his son.' 'Here, I say!' protested Baggybum the Beerbelly, outraged to be overlooked, even though Snotlout was his own son. 'I'm the next in line to the Chiefdom!' Alvin smiled his horrid smile. 'What this day has shown is that you old fat men are past it. Snotlout is the Chief, and anyone who objects will follow Stoick to the Slavelands.' So Snotlout had what he had desired all along, the Chiefdom of the Hooligan Tribe. His chest swelled up like a cockerel's. I knew it, he thought to himself exultantly. I knew it had to be me… I knew I couldn't be this brilliant for nothing… He couldn't repress a smile of infinite smugness, one that lit up his pimply face, as he twirled the Flashcut in one hand. His first act as Chief showed off Snotlout's character in its most unpleasant light.
Slavelands。一定要给他做上记号,就像他那个叛徒儿子一样。”对流氓们:“我宣布,流氓部落的下一任酋长应该是这个鼻涕脸鼻涕怪,以表彰他揭露斯托伊克和他儿子的背叛行为的高尚行为。”“喏,我说!”啤酒肚Baggybum抗议道,他对被忽视感到愤怒,尽管鼻涕虫是他自己的儿子。 “我是酋长的下一个继承人!”阿尔文露出可怕的笑容。 “今天的情况表明,你们这些老胖子已经过时了。 鼻涕哥是酋长,谁反对谁就跟着斯托伊克去奴隶地。”于是,鼻涕虫终于如愿以偿,当上了流氓部落的酋长。 他的胸脯肿得像只小公鸡。 我早就知道,他得意洋洋地想。 我知道那一定是我……我知道我不可能白白地这么聪明……他情不自禁地露出无限得意的微笑,一只手旋转着Flashcut,脸上布满了粉刺。 他当上酋长后的第一个动作就把鼻鼻子的性格表现得很不讨人喜欢。
'Move along there, Baggybum,' he ordered his father, self-importantly. 'Don't dawdle. You heard the King. To the boats!' So that was a sad procession of Vikings, scrambling over the devastated edges of their once-impregnable castle, down the mighty cliffs to their half-broken ships. They carried their dead and injured on makeshift stretchers as they retreated back to their homelands, ready to make war on the entire dragon race. Camicazi, hurrying along with the Bog-Burglars, stopped a moment beside Fishlegs, standing still as a stone, tears pouring down his face, looking down at Hiccup's helmet lying at his feet on top of the rubble. 'Why are you crying?' asked Camicazi in surprise. 'Hiccup is dead,' whispered Fishlegs. 'No he's not,' said Camicazi briskly. 'You gave him your lucky lobster claw, didn't you?' 'What use is a lucky lobster claw! He was being hunted by the entire Dragon Rebellion!' said Fishlegs. 'He'll think of something,' said Camicazi. 'He always does. Listen, Fishlegs,' Camicazi put a hand on Fishlegs's shoulder, 'you can't despair now. I was
“往那边走,Baggybum。”他命令他父亲,自以为了不起。 “别偷懒。你听到国王的话了。 到船上去!”这是一群悲伤的维京人,他们爬过曾经坚不可摧的城堡的边缘,爬下雄伟的悬崖,来到他们残破的船上。 他们用临时担架抬着死伤者,撤退回自己的家园,准备向整个龙族开战。 卡米卡齐和沼泽窃贼一起匆匆赶路,在鱼腿旁边停了一会儿,他像一块石头一样一动不动地站着,眼泪从脸上流了下来,低头看着脚边碎石堆上小嗝嗝的头盔。 “你为什么哭?”卡米卡齐吃惊地问。 “小嗝嗝死了,”鱼腿低声说。 “不,他不是,”卡米卡齐轻快地说。 “你把你的幸运龙虾爪给他了,是不是?”“幸运的龙虾爪有什么用!”他被整个龙族反抗军追杀!鱼腿说。 “他会想出办法的,”卡米卡齐说。 “他总是这样。“听着,鱼腿,”卡米卡齐把手放在鱼腿的肩膀上,“你现在不能绝望。 我是
