Ijon Tichy
Ze wspomnień Ijona Tichego, pt. 4
Literal: From remembrances of Ijon Tichy, pt. 4
by Stanisław Lem
Ijon is unphased when Physicist Molteris lugs his time machine into Ijon’s sitting
room, promising Ijon will be repaid for the colossal amount of electricity that will be
consumed by the first trip.
— Michael Main
Zamierzałem, ale . . . widzi pan
. . . ja . . . mój
gospodarz wyłączył mi elektrycznoćś . . . w
niedzielę.
I planned to, but, you see, I—my landlord turned off the electricity on Sunday.
