The Metamorphosis / 変身

The light of the electric tram lay pale here and there on the ceiling and on the higher parts of the furniture

電車の明かりが天井や家具の高いところのあちこちに淡く灯っていた。

but down at Gregor's level it was dark

しかしグレゴールの階下では暗かった

He slowly pushed himself towards the door to see what had happened there

彼はそこで何が起こったのかを見るためにゆっくりとドアの方へ進みました

he was still clumsy with his feelers, which he only now learned to appreciate

彼はまだ触覚が不器用だったが、今になってようやくその価値を知った。

His left side seemed to have one long, unpleasantly tight scar

彼の左側には長くて不快なほどきつい傷跡が一つあるようだった

and he had to literally limp on his two rows of legs

そして彼は文字通り二列の足を引きずって歩かなければならなかった

Incidentally, one of the legs had been seriously injured during the morning's incidents

ちなみに、午前中の事件で片方の足が重傷を負っていた。

it was almost a miracle that only one of his legs was injured

片足だけが負傷したのは奇跡に近い

and he dragged his leg lifelessly

そして彼は力なく足を引きずった

Only when he reached the door did he realize what had actually lured him there

ドアに着いて初めて、彼は自分がそこに誘い込まれた本当の理由に気づいた。
