The light of the electric tram lay pale here and there on the ceiling and on the higher parts of the furniture
Lyset fra den elektriske sporvogn lå blegt hist og her på loftet og på de højere dele af møblerne
but down at Gregor's level it was dark
men nede på Gregors niveau var det mørkt
He slowly pushed himself towards the door to see what had happened there
Han pressede sig langsomt hen mod døren for at se, hvad der var sket der
he was still clumsy with his feelers, which he only now learned to appreciate
han var stadig klodset med sine følehorn, som han først nu lærte at sætte pris på
His left side seemed to have one long, unpleasantly tight scar
Hans venstre side så ud til at have et langt, ubehageligt stramt ar
and he had to literally limp on his two rows of legs
og han måtte bogstaveligt talt halte på sine to rækker ben
Incidentally, one of the legs had been seriously injured during the morning's incidents
Det ene ben var i øvrigt kommet alvorligt til skade under formiddagens hændelser
it was almost a miracle that only one of his legs was injured
det var nærmest et mirakel, at kun hans ene ben blev såret
and he dragged his leg lifelessly
og han slæbte sit ben livløst
Only when he reached the door did he realize what had actually lured him there
Først da han nåede døren indså han, hvad der egentlig havde lokket ham derhen
it was the smell of something edible that had lured him there
det var lugten af noget spiseligt, der havde lokket ham derhen
