The Metamorphosis / Metamorfoza

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

Svetloba električnega tramvaja je tu in tam bleda lezala na stropu in na visjih delih pohistva

but down at Gregor's level it was dark

a spodaj na Gregorjevi ravni je bilo temno

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

Počasi se je odrinil proti vratom, da bi videl, kaj se je tam zgodilo

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

se vedno je bil nespreten s tipalkami, ki se jih je sele zdaj naučil ceniti

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

Zdelo se je, da ima njegova leva stran eno dolgo, neprijetno tesno brazgotino

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

in moral je dobesedno sepati na svoji dve vrsti nog

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

Mimogrede, med jutranjimi incidenti je bila ena od nog resno poskodovana

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

skoraj čudez je bil, da je bila le ena njegova noga poskodovana

and he dragged his leg lifelessly

in brez zivljenja je vlekel nogo

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

Sele ko je prisel do vrat, je spoznal, kaj ga je pravzaprav zvabilo tja

it was the smell of something edible that had lured him there

tja ga je zvabil vonj po nečem uzitnem
