Translation examples
At this so delicate and eloquent harangue, the gentleman, who saw I look'd frighted and amaz'd, and indeed, incapable of answering, took her up for breaking things in so abrupt a manner, as rather to shock than incline me to an acceptance of the good he intended me;
In dieser feinfühligen und beredten Aufmunterung unterbrach sie der Herr, der wohl bemerkt hatte, daß ich erschrokken und höchst erstaunt und unfähig war zu antworten.
according I fir'd and bad him look, and immediately he saw the Parrot fall, he stood like one frighted again, notwithstanding all I had said to him; and I found he was the more amaz'd because he did not see me put any Thing into the Gun; but thought that there must be some wonderful Fund of Death and Destruction in that Thing, able to kill Man, Beast, Bird, or any Thing near, or far off, and the Astonishment this created in him was such, as could not wear off for a long Time;
Gleich darauf gab ich Feuer, und er sah den Papagei fallen. Er stand wiederum ganz verdonnert da, als hätte er von all meinem Anschauungsunterricht nichts begriffen. Ja, er war diesmal eher noch erstaunter, weil er mich nichts in mein Gewehr hatte hineintun sehen und daher dachte, es müsse irgendein Tod und Vernichtung speiendes Zauberwesen darin sein, das Menschen, Tiere, Vögel und alles, was kreucht und fleucht, ob nah oder fern, töten könne.
