驯龙高手 · 9 How to Steal a Dragon's Sword

6 Trouble at the School

6. TROUBLE AT THE SCHOOL 'HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!' It was two weeks after their disastrous arrival at the Flashburn School of Swordfighting. There had been no sign of Rogue dragons chanting the Red- Rage, or the Dragon Furious. The Warriors-to-Be, from Tribes all across the Archipelago, had gathered in the Battle Arena to watch Fishlegs's practice bout against Lardtummy Lo-Watt. The laughing young Warriors-to-Be were surrounding the fight, and they appeared to be finding it amusing. Watching Fishlegs fight was always the highlight of their day. Lardtummy Lo-Watt was not a good swordfighter. He was as round as he was high, and so stupid he had been known to attack his own arm. But Fishlegs had a severe disadvantage. Horrorcow was still sitting on top of Fishlegs's shoulders, her talons gripped into his hair. Her nervous collapse was such that even now that the danger had passed, she still refused to eat, sleep or come down, despite Hiccup tempting her with bits of cucumber and carrot. She just sat on

6. 学校有麻烦了!哈!哈!哈!哈!哈!”那是在他们灾难性地来到Flashburn剑术学校两周之后。 没有任何迹象表明流氓龙在吟唱“红色的愤怒”或“狂暴的龙”。 来自群岛各地部落的准勇士们聚集在竞技场上,观看鱼腿和拉德贝贝·洛瓦特的练习赛。 年轻的准战士们笑着围在战斗现场,似乎觉得很有趣。 看鱼腿打架总是他们一天中最开心的事。 洛瓦特不是个好剑士。 他又高又圆,而且笨得连自己的胳膊都要打。 但鱼腿有一个严重的劣势。 恐怖牛仍然坐在鱼腿的肩膀上,她的爪子紧紧抓着他的头发。 她的精神崩溃是如此严重,以至于即使现在危险已经过去,她仍然拒绝吃饭、睡觉或下楼,尽管小嗝嗝用黄瓜和胡萝卜的碎片诱惑她。 她只是坐在

Fishlegs's head, sad and blinking, poor Horrorcow, her tail hanging limply. 'I'm so sorry,' she mooed apologetically, when Hiccup begged her to let go. 'I just can't.' And if there was a loud noise she clenched her claws, winding Fishlegs's hair around so painfully that he screamed like a hyena. As you can imagine, none of this improved Fishlegs's swordfighting. Take it from me, it is extremely difficult to swordfight effectively when you have a dragon attached to your head. It throws off your balance. Although opponents did find Fishlegs's sudden inexplicable girly screaming off-putting. Plus Hiccup had thrown Fishlegs's best sword in the Gorge, so Fishlegs was having to fight with his spare sword, which he affectionately called Mr Pointy. Fishlegs had no parents to give him expensive swordfighting equipment. Fishlegs had found Mr Pointy on the scrapheap at the blacksmiths, so it wasn't really in battle-worthy condition, having a tendency to wobble a little and rattle in its hilt when struck.

鱼腿的头,悲伤地眨着眼睛,可怜的恐怖牛,她的尾巴无力地垂着。 “我很抱歉,”当小嗝嗝请求她放手时,她带着歉意低声说。 “我就是不能。”如果有很大的声音,她就会握紧爪子,痛苦地缠绕着鱼腿的毛发,弄得他像鬣狗一样尖叫。 你可以想象,这些都没有提高鱼腿的剑术。 听我说,当你的头上有一条龙的时候,你很难有效地进行剑战。 它会让你失去平衡。 尽管对手确实发现鱼腿突然莫名其妙的女孩般的尖叫令人不快。 再加上嗝嗝把鱼腿最好的剑扔进了峡谷,所以鱼腿不得不用他的备用剑来战斗,他亲切地称这把剑为波迪先生。 鱼腿没有父母给他昂贵的剑术装备。 鱼腿是在铁匠铺的废料堆上发现波迪先生的,所以它的状态不太适合战斗,受到打击时,它会微微摇晃,刀柄也会发出嘎嘎声。

Fishlegs was quite a sight, therefore, stumbling round Lardtummy Lo-Watt, trying to defend himself with the wobbly Mr Pointy while the dragon attached to his head squirmed and squealed in alarm, and tried to get as far away as she could from the swords. There was a nasty moment when Horrorcow became so alarmed that she actually put her paws over his eyes, so Fishlegs could not see Lardtummy's lunges. 'Horrorcow! I can't see!' yelled Fishlegs. 'I'm so sorry,' mooed Horrorcow, 'but it's all so violent and aggressive, can we not do something nice…' And then, as if things couldn't get any worse, halfway through the fight, Mr Pointy's blade fell out, leaving poor Fishlegs with only the hilt in his hand. 'HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!' roared the crowd of watching Warriors-to-Be. 'A collapsible blade!' 'Let's see whether we can take that dragon off your head for you, shall we?' sneered Snotlout, flexing his fist and punching it into his hand. Poor traumatized Horrorcow gave a yowl. 'No violence! I'm a vegetarian!'

因此,鱼腿踉踉跄跄地绕过洛瓦特,试图用摇摇晃晃的波迪先生保护自己,而绑在他头上的那条龙则扭动着,惊恐地尖叫着,并试图尽可能地远离那些剑。 可怕的一幕发生了,恐怖牛吓得用爪子捂住了它的眼睛,这样鱼腿就看不到猪肚的猛扑。 “Horrorcow !我看不见了!鱼腿大叫。 “我很抱歉,”恐怖牛叫道,“场面太暴力,太有攻击性了,我们就不能做点好事吗……”接着,事情似乎变得更糟了,战斗进行到一半时,波迪先生的刀刃掉了出来,可怜的鱼腿只剩下剑柄了。 “哈哈哈,哈哈哈,哈哈哈!”围观的准勇士们大声喊道。 “可折叠的刀刃!”“让我们看看能不能帮你把那条龙从你的头上取下来,好吗?”鼻涕鼻子讥笑着,把拳头伸到他手里。 可怜的受了创伤的恐怖母牛嚎叫了一声。 “没有暴力!我是素食主义者!”

The crowd of Warriors-to-Be closed in on Fishlegs, and all might not have gone well with him if… 'Look out!' yelled Hiccup from above, landing the Windwalker right beside Fishlegs, sending Snotlout and Dogsbreath spinning into the dirt. Fishlegs scrambled on to the Windwalker's back, and they took off. 'Yar! Look, it's that Hiccup who released the Dragon Furious coming to the rescue of his weird friend!' shouted Snotlout. 'Weirdos!' yelled one Grim-bod. 'Freaks!' shouted Very Vicious the Visithug. A minute later, the two boys were sitting with their friend Camicazi on top of the Second to the Left Tower, having a little breather from swordfighting practice. They were all wearing green swordfighting belts.

一群准勇士围住了鱼腿,如果……“小心!”嗝嗝从上面喊道,把风行者停在鱼腿旁边,把鼻涕哥和狗息打得滚到地上。 鱼腿爬上了风行者的背上,两人一起起飞了。 “纱线!看,是嗝嗝释放了愤怒的龙来拯救他的奇怪的朋友!鼻涕鼻子喊道。 “奇怪!一个格林人喊道。 “怪胎!非常恶毒的来客喊道。 一分钟后,这两个男孩和他们的朋友卡米卡齐坐在左二楼的塔顶上,练习完剑,稍稍喘了口气。 他们都戴着绿色的剑带。

Toothless was playing with Camacazi's hunting dragon, Stormfly and One Eye the Sabre-Tooth Driver Dragon, an old friend of Hiccup's, was sitting beside them on the battlements. 'Thanks,' said Fishlegs. 'I had that situation under control, but thanks anyway.' 'Don't mention it,' said Hiccup. 'They're going to kill us when they catch us,' said Fishlegs. 'Well, I'm not exactly the most popular person round here at the minute, so I don't care,' said Hiccup. It was true. Ever since it had been revealed that Hiccup freed the Dragon Furious, the Warriors-to-Be had stopped speaking to him. It was as if he was cursed.

无牙正在和卡马卡齐的猎龙“暴风虻”玩,而一只眼是小嗝嗝的老朋友,马牙司机龙坐在他们旁边的城垛上。 “谢谢,”鱼腿说。我已经控制住了局面,不过还是谢谢你。“别客气,”小嗝嗝说。 “他们抓到我们会杀了我们的,”鱼腿说。 “嗯,眼下我在这里并不是最受欢迎的人,所以我不在乎,”小嗝嗝说。 这是真的。自从小嗝嗝释放了怒龙的消息被披露后,未来的勇士们就不再和他说话了。 他好像被诅咒了。
