10 |

10 |

The translator, incidentally, supposing it to be turned on, would provide only the translation of what was said, and the words, unless the volume control was manipulated during the message, would always occur at the same sound level. |
10 |
| 11 | 36 |
An analogue to listening to a translator would be to imagine words as pictures which, in the same type face and size, flash serially on a screen. |
10 |
| 11 | 38 |

10 |
| 14 | 12 |
I supposed he did not have a translator. |
10 |

Apparently he did have a translator. |
10 |
| 14 | 84 |
I was given a translator by Misk and I would utter Gorean expressions into it and then wait for the translation into the language of the Priest-Kings, and in this way, after a time, I became capable of recognizing numerous meaningful odors. |
10 |

One of the things I did was run the translator over the red plastic tunic I had been issued and listen to the information which had been recorded on it. |

10 |

I made no move but I was startled to hear the Gorean expression for 'friend' emanate from Sarm's translator. |
10 |
| 17 | 23 |
I had tried to find it on the translator and lexical tapes which Misk had placed at my disposal. |
10 |
| 17 | 24 |
Literally what hearing the expression from Sarm meant was that he had had the item specially entered into his translator tapes and correlated with a random odor, much as if we had decided to invent a name to stand for some novel relation or object. |
10 |
| 17 | 26 |
He might have asked Mul Translator Engineers for such an expression and an explanation of it, and I supposed they might have given him the expression "friend" and explained it for him, more or less adequately, in terms of the normal consequences of the relation designated, such things as tending to ... |
10 |

10 |
| 19 | 67 |
I wished I had had time to investigate certain of Misk's scent-charts, but even if I had had the time, I might not have found helpful charts and, anyway, my translator scanning them could read only labels. |

10 |
| 19 | 100 |
As I turned to leave the chamber I noted that the grasping appendages on Sarm's right foreleg turned off his translator. |
10 |
| 19 | 103 |
To my nostrils, now alert to the signals of Priest-Kings and trained by my practice with the translator Misk had allowed me to use, there came a single brief odor, the components of which I had little difficulty in discriminating. |
10 |
| 19 | 104 |
It was a very simple message and was of course not carried by Sarm's translator. |

10 |
| 21 | 16 |
I turned on the translator. |
10 |
| 21 | 20 |
No response came from my translator. |
10 |
| 21 | 22 |

His head was garlanded by a wreath of green leaves as had been that of Sarm, and also, like Sarm, there was about his neck, as well as his translator, the ceremonial string of tiny metal tools. |
10 |
| 27 | 174 |
Though the translator which still hung about Sarm's neck with the string of silverish tools was not turned on I would not have needed it to interpret the desperate odor-signal emitted by the First Born. |
10 |
| 27 | 175 |
It was, indeed, though shorter and more intense, the first odor-signal that had ever been addressed to me, only then it had come from Misk's translator in the chamber of Vika. |
10 |
| 27 | 176 |
Had the translator been turned on, I would have heard "Lo Sardar"—"I am a Priest-King". |
10 |
| 27 | 183 |
Then to my horror I saw him remove the translator on its chain from his throat and wielding this like a mace and chain he rushed upon Misk and struck him viciously from behind. |
10 |
| 27 | 187 |
He looped the translator again about his throat. |
10 |
| 27 | 201 |
Only from Sarm's translator came a message. |
10 |
| 27 | 203 |

10 |
| 27 | 205 |
"No," said the Mother, the message coming again from Sarm's translator. |
10 |
| 27 | 211 |
"I do what I wish," came again from Sarm's translator. |
10 |
| 27 | 244 |
He turned his translator down. |
10 |
| 27 | 254 |
"No," said the Mother, and the message again came from Sarm's own translator, and was echoed a thousand times by those of the other Priest-Kings in the great chamber. |
10 |
| 27 | 261 |
I could sense the intense, weird odors of pain uncarried by his translator which now filled the chamber. |
10 |
| 27 | 273 |
Misk's message to Sarm was carried on Sarm's own translator. |
10 |
| 27 | 289 |
This message was echoed by every translator in the room and a thousand times again and again as the Priest-Kings repeated it in disbelief to one another. |
10 |
| 27 | 308 |
Misk placed a translator on the platform beside the dying creature. |
10 |
| 27 | 310 |
Misk motioned away the physicians and the other Priest-Kings and set the translator on the platform at its lowest volume. |
10 |
| 27 | 312 |

10 |
| 30 | 57 |
There was normally a translator on in the headquarters and it was not difficult to follow what was said. |
10 |
| 30 | 58 |
The translator was for the benefit of creatures such as Parp, who spent a good deal of time in the headquarters. |
10 |
| 30 | 127 |
I saw him turn off the switch on his translator. |
10 |
| 30 | 132 |
"Perhaps more power," said Parp, raising his voice so that his words might be carried by Sarm's own translator. |
10 |
| 31 | 10 |
In spite of the agreement about arms, Sarm hung from the back of his translator strap, invisible from the front, a silver tube. |
10 |
| 31 | 24 |
I heard Sarm's translator behind me. |
10 |
| 31 | 36 |

10 |
| 31 | 41 |

10 |
| 31 | 212 |

10 |
| 31 | 219 |
"The pleasure," came from Sarm's translator. |
10 |
| 31 | 226 |

It was, then, a translator. |

10 |
| 20 | 26 |
"We have ample testimony," said the prosecutor, whose movements suggested anger, though the translator spoke without passion, "that in the time of your location your life was in great jeopardy". |
10 |
| 20 | 58 |

10 |

10 |

10 |
| 43 | 33 |
This was picked up on Cabot's translator. |
10 |

"I will kill her, and then you," said the translator. |
10 |
| 43 | 81 |
In Kur this was clearly a snarl, but it was rendered, as would be expected, with calmness and precision by the translator. |
10 |
| 44 | 143 |
"I would not turn on the translator," said Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 44 | 169 |
At this point Cabot was much tempted to turn on his translator, but he refrained from doing so. |
10 |
| 44 | 192 |
Cabot's translator was not activated. |
10 |
| 44 | 195 |
"Turn on the translator," said Grendel, and Cabot did so. |
10 |
| 44 | 200 |
"Before a human?" came from Cabot's translator. |
10 |
| 47 | 113 |
"Do not activate your translator," said Lord Grendel to Statius. |
10 |
| 47 | 153 |
Lord Grendel, transferring his weapon to his harnessed arm, with his free hand flicked on his translator, that Cabot might follow what was said. |
10 |
| 50 | 70 |
It was registered on Cabot's translator. |
10 |
| 50 | 117 |
"Alas," said Flavion, in Kur distress, though the voice emerged quietly enough, precisely, as always, on Cabot's translator. |
10 |
| 50 | 121 |
"Surely more so than others," came from Cabot's translator. |
10 |
| 54 | 47 |
Concern was clear in his Kur, but this concern was not, of course, evident in the dispassionate account rendered in virtue of Cabot's translator. |
10 |
| 55 | 197 |
Statius suddenly uttered a sound, clearly of astonishment, but it was no word, or at least none programmed into Cabot's translator. |
10 |
| 58 | 33 |
"Originally with the help of the translator," said Cabot, "which produces recognizable Kur. |
10 |
| 59 | 12 |
"Do you think to insult us?" came from Cabot's translator. |
10 |
| 61 | 128 |
In Cabot's translator there was an indecipherable, unintelligible, staticlike sound. |
10 |
| 64 | 119 |
Too, as she had no translator, and few were in her vicinity, and she could understand very little of Kur, she was not even clear as to what the nature and extent of the charges against her might be. |
10 |
| 70 | 45 |
It may be recalled he had retrained the sleen in the forest, beginning with the translator, to substitute Gorean for Kur, such that the animal would now respond only to Gorean, and, as is usual with a sleen and single trainer, only to the particular trainer's commands. |
10 |
| 70 | 67 |
Cabot switched on his translator. |
10 |
| 70 | 74 |
It was interesting how the urgency and horror of his utterance was rendered by the translator, calmly, precisely, unemotionally. |
10 |
| 72 | 2 |
"Kill him! Kill him!" Flavion was shrieking, with a rattle of chain, the translator conveying this imperative in Gorean with its customary passionless professionalism. |
10 |
| 78 | 159 |
Cabot's translator barely registered what was said. |
10 |
| 78 | 164 |
He spoke much, though doubtless incoherently, but Cabot did not know what he said, for he had, long ago, turned off his translator. |
10 |
| 80 | 98 |
A small, weird sound came from Cabot's small translator, which was not really a word. |
10 |
| 80 | 100 |
Lord Arcesilaus, whose translator had, of course, assisted him in understanding Cabot's response, shuddered. |

I was sure that Sullius Maximus, and his presumed fellows, would have supposed the message was in the box, which was, in fact, unknown to them, either the translator, or contained the translator, and would have tried to open it. |

"The slave is female," came from the translator, mechanically, unemotionally, a placidity quite at odds with the roiling, tensed power that seemed to rise now like lava within that immense, living frame, "the price was twenty tarsks, and the buyer is by name Bina, and by title, the Lady Bina". |

Grendel stepped forward, to the center of the room, and Lucius, with a cry of rage, unintelligible in the translator, rushed forward and his ax, bright and double edged, described its swift, terrible arc, and in a moment might have cut away a head and part of a shoulder, but it was suddenly arrested... |

"I wish I had a translator," said he who had admitted us. |

"Where is the device, the translator?" "One, I suspect," said Kurik, "was not deemed necessary". |

Apparently no translator had been activated. |

10 |

"I am going to activate the translator," said Lord Grendel. |

10 |

10 |

Dangling about the broad, thick neck of the guard was a translator, and, momentarily, I realized it had been activated, for I could hear, relayed, and translated, speech from the box in the stands. |
10 |

The utterance in Kur was loud, ferocious, and horrifying, but the translator ticked off the translation in Gorean with its customary equanimity. |
10 |
| 61 | 66 |
"Lyris!" exclaimed Surtak, this name picked up on Lord Grendel's translator, and broadcast about. |
10 |
| 61 | 145 |
Lord Grendel's translator articulated, quietly, as the volume was set, "Yes, the Rings, the Rings". |
10 |
| 61 | 151 |
"I command!" "No," came from Lord Grendel's translator, and I saw that this must have picked up, and translated, Kur from the box, for Lucilius was on his feet, an ax brandished, eyes blazing, jaws slavering. |
10 |

"My translator is activated". |
10 |

"You have seen the beasts kill men! Do you think you would be spared? Would you have them feed on you, as well as vulnerable, helpless, stripped kajirae? Do you want your blood to fill the goblets of such beasts? They are not your friends, they are your enemies! Fight them and slay them, as you woul... |
10 |

"Fear not, noble High One," he said, "the festivities will shortly continue, and with appetites yet better whetted!" Surtak, clutching his ax, looking about, called out to Lucilius, wildly, desperately, his Kur picked up by Lord Grendel's translator. |
10 |
| 61 | 574 |
At this point, Lucilius, his translator slung about his neck, growled. |
10 |
| 61 | 684 |
Lucilius then increased the volume on his translator, presumably that its message might carry throughout the field, even to the soldiers at the two manned perimeters. |
10 |
| 64 | 168 |
Suddenly I noted that Lord Grendel had flicked on his translator. |
10 |
| 64 | 170 |
At the moment this made little sense to me, as he and Eve, at least in our presence, commonly discoursed in Gorean, and, if they wished the privacy of communicating in Kur, there would be no point in activating a translator. |
10 |
| 64 | 184 |
As Lord Grendel, doubtless for the benefit of the humans present, had activated his translator, we followed much of what occurred. |
10 |

Lord Grendel's translator appeared to emit nothing but unintelligible static. |
10 |
| 65 | 155 |
About the neck of Lucilius was a translator, doubtless that he might communicate with his fellows. |
10 |

"Be silent!" came from the translator of Lucilius, the volume increased well beyond the normal level. |
10 |
| 65 | 228 |
"Be silent, be silent!" came from Lucilius' translator. |
10 |
| 65 | 261 |
"No, no!" came from Lucilius' translator. |
