Bhí sé marbh cheana féin, léirigh sé
He was already dead, he reflected
Bhraith sé amhail is nach raibh sé ach anois go ndearna sé an chéim chinntitheach
It felt as if it was only now that he had made the decisive step
thosaigh sé ar deireadh a bheith in ann a chuid smaointe a chur le chéile
he had finally begun to be able to formulate his thoughts
Áirítear iarmhairtí gach gnímh sa ghníomh féin
The consequences of every act are included in the act itself
Scríobh Winston ina dhialann:
Winston wrote in his diary:
"Ní bás atá i gceist le smaointeachas; smaointeachasIS bás. "
"Thoughtcrime does not entail death; thoughtcrime IS death."
d'aithin sé é féin mar fhear marbh
he had recognized himself as a dead man
anois bhí sé tábhachtach fanacht beo chomh fada agus ab fhéidir
now it became important to stay alive as long as possible
Bhí dhá mhéar dá lámh dheas dúchaithe
Two fingers of his right hand were inkstained
Ba é go díreach an cineál mionsonraí a d'fhéadfadh feall a dhéanamh ort
It was exactly the kind of detail that might betray you
