Publisher's Synopsis
Bhí solas an tram leictrigh ina luí anseo agus ansiúd ar an tsíleáil agus ar na codanna níos airde den troscán
The light of the electric tram lay pale here and there on the ceiling and on the higher parts of the furniture
ach síos ar leibhéal Gregor ar bhí sé dorcha
but down at Gregor's level it was dark
Bhrúigh sé é féin go mall i dtreo an dorais féachaint cad a tharla ansin
He slowly pushed himself towards the door to see what had happened there
bhí sé fós clumsy lena mothaithe, rud a d'fhoghlaim sé ach anois a thuiscint
he was still clumsy with his feelers, which he only now learned to appreciate
Bhí an chuma ar an taobh clé go raibh scar fada, míthaitneamhach daingean
His left side seemed to have one long, unpleasantly tight scar
agus bhí air limp literally ar a dhá shraith de chosa
and he had to literally limp on his two rows of legs
Teagmhasach, bhí duine de na cosa gortaithe go dona le linn eachtraí na maidine
Incidentally, one of the legs had been seriously injured during the morning's incidents
ba bheag an mhíorúilt é nár gortaíodh ach duine amháin dá chosa
it was almost a miracle that only one of his legs was injured
agus tharraing sé a chos gan bheatha
and he dragged his leg lifelessly
Nuair a shroich sé an doras go dtí gur thuig sé cad a mheall ann é
Only when he reached the door did he realize what had actually lured him there
ba é boladh ruda inite a mheall ansin é
it was the smell of something edible that had lured him there
