Publisher's Synopsis
The light of the electric tram lay pale here and there on the ceiling and on the higher parts of the furniture
Ljós rafmagnssporvagnsins lá föl hér og Þar í loftinu og á hærri hlutum húsgagnanna
but down at Gregor's level it was dark
en niðri á hæð Gregors var myrkur
He slowly pushed himself towards the door to see what had happened there
Hann ýtti sér hægt að dyrunum til að sjá hvað hafði gerst Þar
he was still clumsy with his feelers, which he only now learned to appreciate
hann var enn klaufalegur með Þreifingar, sem hann lærði fyrst að meta
His left side seemed to have one long, unpleasantly tight scar
Vinstri hlið hans virtist vera með eitt langt, óÞægilega Þröngt ör
and he had to literally limp on his two rows of legs
og hann varð bókstaflega að haltra á tveimur fótaröðunum sínum
Incidentally, one of the legs had been seriously injured during the morning's incidents
Tilviljun hafði annar fóturinn slasast alvarlega í atvikum morgunsins
it was almost a miracle that only one of his legs was injured
Það var nánast kraftaverk að aðeins annar fótur hans slasaðist
and he dragged his leg lifelessly
og hann dró fótinn líflausan
Only when he reached the door did he realize what had actually lured him there
Fyrst Þegar hann kom að dyrunum áttaði hann sig á Því hvað hafði raunverulega tælt hann Þangað
it was the smell of something edible that had lured him there
Það var lyktin af einhverju ætilegu sem hafði tælt hann Þangað
