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
