The Metamorphosis / Metamorfza

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

Svetlo elektrickej električky sem-tam bledlo na strope a na vyssích častiach nábytku

but down at Gregor's level it was dark

ale dole na Gregorovej úrovni bola tma

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

Pomaly sa tlačil k dverám, aby zistil, čo sa tam stalo

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

bol stále nemotornÿ s tykadlami, čo sa az teraz naučil oceniť

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

Zdalo sa, ze jeho ľavá strana má jednu dlhú, nepríjemne tesnú jazvu

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

a musel doslova krívať na svojich dvoch radoch nôh

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

Mimochodom, jedna z nôh bola pri rannÿch incidentoch vázne zranená

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

bol takmer zázrak, ze sa mu zranila iba jedna noha

and he dragged his leg lifelessly

a bez zivota ťahal nohu

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

Az keď dosiel k dverám, uvedomil si, čo ho tam vlastne nalákalo

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

bola to vôňa niečoho jedlého, čo ho tam prilákalo
