He was already dead, he reflected
Hann var Þegar dáinn, hugsaði hann
It felt as if it was only now that he had made the decisive step
Mér leið eins og Það væri fyrst núna sem hann hefði stigið afgerandi skrefið
he had finally begun to be able to formulate his thoughts
hann var loksins farinn að geta mótað hugsanir sínar
The consequences of every act are included in the act itself
Afleiðingar hvers athafnar eru innifaldar í verknaðinum sjálfum
Winston wrote in his diary:
Winston skrifaði í dagbók sína:
"Thoughtcrime does not entail death; thoughtcrime IS death."
"Hugsanaglæpir fela ekki í sér dauða; hugsanaglæpur ER dauði."
he had recognized himself as a dead man
hann hafði viðurkennt sjálfan sig sem dauðan mann
now it became important to stay alive as long as possible
Nú varð mikilvægt að halda lífi sem lengst
Two fingers of his right hand were inkstained
Tveir fingur hægri handar hans voru bleklitaðir
It was exactly the kind of detail that might betray you
það var nákvæmlega svona smáatriði sem gætu svikið Þig
