Lumen tram electrici passim in laquearia et in supel- riore supellectili iacebat
The light of the electric tram lay pale here and there on the ceiling and on the higher parts of the furniture
sed descendens in gradu Gregor obscurus erat
but down at Gregor's level it was dark
Sensim se ad ianuam impulit ut videre quid ibi factum esset
He slowly pushed himself towards the door to see what had happened there
informes adhuc cum adfectibus suis, quos modo bene cognoscere
he was still clumsy with his feelers, which he only now learned to appreciate
Laevum latus unum longum habere videbatur, cicatricem ingrate pressam
His left side seemed to have one long, unpleasantly tight scar
et debebat ad litteram duos ordines pedum claudicare
and he had to literally limp on his two rows of legs
Obiter unum crurum graviter laesum in incidentibus matutinis
Incidentally, one of the legs had been seriously injured during the morning's incidents
Fere miraculum fuit quod unus de cruribus eius vulneratus est
it was almost a miracle that only one of his legs was injured
et traxit crus exanime
and he dragged his leg lifelessly
Solus cum ad ianuam pervenisset, sciebat quid eum illuc deduxisset
Only when he reached the door did he realize what had actually lured him there
odor esculentorum qui se induxerant ibi
it was the smell of something edible that had lured him there
