A BATTLE OF MONSTERS

PERTEMPURAN PARA MONSTER

The horizon seems extremely distant.

Cakrawala tampak sangat jauh.

My head is still stupefied with the vivid reality of my dream.

Kepalaku masih linglung oleh nyatanya mimpiku yang begitu hidup.

My uncle has had no dreams, but he is out of temper.

Pamanku tidak bermimpi apa-apa, tetapi ia sedang kesal.

He examines the horizon all round with his glass, and folds his arms with the air of an injured man.

Ia mengamati seluruh cakrawala dengan teropongnya, lalu melipat tangan dengan raut orang yang merasa dirugikan.

And yet, what cause was there for anger?

Namun, apa alasannya untuk marah?

Is not the raft spinning along with marvellous speed?

Bukankah rakit ini melaju dengan kecepatan yang menakjubkan?

"-You seem anxious, my uncle," I said, seeing him continually with his glass to his eye.

"Paman tampak cemas," kataku, melihatnya terus-menerus menempelkan teropong ke matanya.

No, not at all."

Tidak, sama sekali tidak."
