The War of the Worlds Book One The Coming of the Martians

Chapter One The Eve of the War But who shall dwell in these worlds if they be inhabited?… Are we or they Lords of the World?… And how are all things made for man?—

The planet Mars, I scarcely need remind the reader, revolves about the sun at a mean distance of 140,000,000 miles, and the light and heat it receives from the sun is barely half of that received by this world. It must be, if the nebular hypothesis has any truth, older than our world; and long before this earth ceased to be molten, life upon its surface must have begun its course. The fact that it is scarcely one seventh of the volume of the earth must have accelerated its cooling to the temperature at which life could begin. It has air and water and all that is necessary for the support of animated existence. Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end. The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones.an> That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.

And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.

And before we judge of them too harshly we must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as the vanished bison and the dodo, but upon its inferior races. The Tasmanians, in spite of their human likeness, were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space of fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?]

The Martians seem to have calculated their descent with amazing subtlety—their mathematical learning is evidently far in excess of ours—and to have carried out their preparations with a well-nigh perfect unanimity. Had our instruments permitted it, we might have seen the gathering trouble far back in the nineteenth century. Men like Schiaparelli watched the red planet—it is odd, by-the-bye, that for countless centuries Mars has been the star of war—but failed to interpret the fluctuating appearances of the markings they mapped so well. All that time the Martians must have been getting ready.

During the opposition of 1894 a great light was seen on the illuminated part of the disk, first at the Lick Observatory, then by Perrotin of Nice, and then by other observers. English readers heard of it first in the issue of Nature dated August 2. I am inclined to think that this blaze may have been the casting of the huge gun, in the vast pit sunk into their planet, from which their shots were fired at us. Peculiar markings, as yet unexplained, were seen near the site of that outbreak during the next two oppositions.

The storm burst upon us six years ago now. As Mars approached opposition, Lavelle of Java set the wires of the astronomical exchange palpitating with the amazing intelligence of a huge outbreak of incandescent gas upon the planet. It had occurred towards midnight of the twelfth; and the spectroscope, to which he had at once resorted, indicated a mass of flaming gas, chiefly hydrogen, moving with an enormous velocity towards this earth. This jet of fire had become invisible about a quarter past twelve. He compared it to a colossal puff of flame suddenly and violently squirted out of the planet, “as flaming gases rushed out of a gun.”

A singularly appropriate phrase it proved. Yet the next day there was nothing of this in the papers except a little note in the Daily Telegraph, and the world went in ignorance of one of the gravest dangers that ever threatened the human race. I might not have heard of the eruption at all had I not met Ogilvy, the well-known astronomer, at Ottershaw. He was immensely excited at the news, and in the excess of his feelings invited me up to take a turn with him that night in a scrutiny of the red planet.

As I watched, the planet seemed to grow larger and smaller and to advance and recede, but that was simply that my eye was tired. Forty millions of miles it was from us—more than forty millions of miles of void. Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims.

Near it in the field, I remember, were three faint points of light, three telescopic stars infinitely remote, and all around it was the unfathomable darkness of empty space. You know how that blackness looks on a frosty starlight night. In a telescope it seems far profounder. And invisible to me because it was so remote and small, flying swiftly and steadily towards me across that incredible distance, drawing nearer every minute by so many thousands of miles, came the Thing they were sending us, the Thing that was to bring so much struggle and calamity and death to the earth. I never dreamed of it then as I watched; no one on earth dreamed of that unerring missile.

That night, too, there was another jetting out of gas from the distant planet. I saw it. A reddish flash at the edge, the slightest projection of the outline just as the chronometer struck midnight; and at that I told Ogilvy and he took my place.pan> The night was warm and I was thirsty, and I went stretching my legs clumsily and feeling my way in the darkness, to the little table where the siphon stood, while Ogilvy exclaimed at the streamer of gas that came out towards us. That night another invisible missile started on its way to the earth from Mars, just a second or so under twenty-four hours after the first one. I remember how I sat on the table there in the blackness, with patches of green and crimson swimming before my eyes. I wished I had a light to smoke by, little suspecting the meaning of the minute gleam I had seen and all that it would presently bring me. Ogilvy watched till one, and then gave it up; and we lit the lantern and walked over to his house. Down below in the darkness were Ottershaw and Chertsey and all their hundreds of people, sleeping in peace.

He was full of speculation that night about the condition of Mars, and scoffed at the vulgar idea of its having inhabitants who were signalling us. His idea was that meteorites might be falling in a heavy shower upon the planet, or that a huge volcanic explosion was in progress. He pointed out to me how unlikely it was that organic evolution had taken the same direction in the two adjacent planets.

“The chances against anything manlike on Mars are a million to one,” he said.

Hundreds of observers saw the flame that night and the night after about midnight, and again the night after; and so for ten nights, a flame each night. Why the shots ceased after the tenth no one on earth has attempted to explain. It may be the gases of the firing caused the Martians inconvenience. Dense clouds of smoke or dust, visible through a powerful telescope on earth as little grey, fluctuating patches, spread through the clearness of the planet's atmosphere and obscured its more familiar features. Even the daily papers woke up to the disturbances at last, and popular notes appeared here, there, and everywhere concerning the volcanoes upon Mars. The seriocomic periodical Punch, I remember, made a happy use of it in the political cartoon. And, all unsuspected, those missiles the Martians had fired at us drew earthward, rushing now at a pace of many miles a second through the empty gulf of space, hour by hour and day by day, nearer and nearer. It seems to me now almost incredibly wonderful that, with that swift fate hanging over us, men could go about their petty concerns as they did. I remember how jubilant Markham was at securing a new photograph of the planet for the illustrated paper he edited in those days. People in these latter times scarcely realise the abundance and enterprise of our nineteenth-century papers.

Kepler (quoted in The Anatomy of Melancholy) No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

Kepler (quoted in The Anatomy of Melancholy) No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Kepler (cytowany w The Anatomy of Melancholy) Nikt nie uwierzyłby w ostatnich latach XIX wieku, że ten świat był uważnie i uważnie obserwowany przez inteligencje większe niż człowiek, a jednak tak śmiertelne jak jego własne; że gdy ludzie zajmowali się swoimi różnymi troskami, byli obserwowani i badani, być może prawie tak dokładnie, jak człowiek z mikroskopem mógłby przyjrzeć się przemijającym stworzeniom, które roją się i rozmnażają w kropli wody. Kepler (citado em The Anatomy of Melancholy) Ninguém teria acreditado nos últimos anos do século XIX que este mundo estava sendo vigiado de perto e de perto por inteligências maiores do que o homem e, no entanto, tão mortais quanto a sua; que, à medida que os homens se ocupavam com suas várias preocupações, eram examinados e estudados, talvez quase tão minuciosamente quanto um homem com um microscópio examinaria as criaturas transitórias que enxameiam e se multiplicam em uma gota d'água. Кеплер (цитируется в «Анатомии меланхолии») В последние годы девятнадцатого века никто бы не поверил, что за этим миром пристально и пристально наблюдают разумы более великие, чем человеческий, но столь же смертные, как и его собственный; что по мере того, как люди занимались своими различными заботами, их внимательно изучали и изучали, быть может, почти так же пристально, как человек с микроскопом может исследовать преходящих существ, которые роятся и размножаются в капле воды. Kepler (Melankolinin Anatomisi'nde alıntılanmıştır) On dokuzuncu yüzyılın son yıllarında hiç kimse bu dünyanın, insanınkinden daha büyük ve yine de onunki kadar ölümlü zekalar tarafından dikkatle ve yakından izlendiğine; insanların çeşitli kaygılarıyla meşgul olurken, belki de mikroskoplu bir adamın bir damla suda sürünen ve çoğalan geçici yaratıkları inceleyebileceği kadar dar bir şekilde incelendiğine ve incelendiğine inanmazdı. 开普勒（引自《忧郁的剖析》）在 19 世纪的最后几年里，没有人会相信这个世界正被比人类更伟大但与人类一样凡人的智慧所敏锐而密切地注视着；当人们忙于他们的各种关注时，他们会受到仔细检查和研究，也许几乎就像一个人用显微镜仔细检查在一滴水中成群繁殖的短暂生物一样狭窄。 With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. ||sự tự mãn||||||||||||||||||||| ||self-satisfaction|||||back and forth|across||planet Earth||||matters, concerns, activities|calm|||confidence in control||their||| |||||||行き来して|||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||спокійні|||||||| ||自满|||||||||||||安详|||||||| برضا لا نهاية له، كان الناس يتنقلون ذهابًا وإيابًا حول هذه الكرة الأرضية بشأن شؤونهم الصغيرة، هادئين في تأكيدهم على إمبراطوريتهم على المادة.

The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars.

During the opposition of 1894 a great light was seen on the illuminated part of the disk, first at the Lick Observatory, then by Perrotin of Nice, and then by other observers. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||спостерігачі Podczas opozycji w 1894 roku na oświetlonej części dysku zaobserwowano wielkie światło, najpierw w Obserwatorium Licka, następnie przez Perrotina z Nicei, a potem przez innych obserwatorów.

The storm burst upon us six years ago now. As Mars approached opposition, Lavelle of Java set the wires of the astronomical exchange palpitating with the amazing intelligence of a huge outbreak of incandescent gas upon the planet. |||||||||||||||||||||||đập mạnh|||||||||||||| |||||||||||наближався до|||||||||||||||||||||||||| Burza rozpętała się sześć lat temu. Gdy Mars zbliżał się do opozycji, Lavelle z Jawy wprawił w osłupienie astronomiczne giełdy niesamowitą informacją o ogromnym wybuchu żarzącego się gazu na planecie. A tempestade caiu sobre nós há seis anos. Quando Marte se aproximava da oposição, Lavelle de Java fez palpitar os fios da bolsa astronómica com a espantosa inteligência de um enorme surto de gás incandescente no planeta. Fırtına altı yıl önce patlak verdi. Mars karşıt konuma yaklaşırken Java'lı Lavelle, gezegende büyük bir akkor gaz salgınının şaşırtıcı zekâsıyla astronomi borsasının tellerini titretti. It had occurred towards midnight of the twelfth; and the spectroscope, to which he had at once resorted, indicated a mass of flaming gas, chiefly hydrogen, moving with an enormous velocity towards this earth. ||сталося||||||||спектроскоп||||||||||||||||||||швидкість||| Miało to miejsce o północy dwunastego, a spektroskop, do którego natychmiast się odwołał, wskazywał masę płonącego gazu, głównie wodoru, poruszającego się z ogromną prędkością w kierunku Ziemi. Bu olay ayın on ikisinin gece yarısına doğru meydana gelmişti ve hemen başvurduğu spektroskop, büyük bir hızla dünyaya doğru hareket eden, çoğunluğu hidrojen olan alevli bir gaz kütlesini gösteriyordu. This jet of fire had become invisible about a quarter past twelve. Strumień ognia stał się niewidoczny około kwadrans po dwunastej. Bu ateş jeti saat on ikiyi çeyrek geçe görünmez hale gelmişti. He compared it to a colossal puff of flame suddenly and violently squirted out of the planet, “as flaming gases rushed out of a gun.” ||||||burst of flame|||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||різко|||||||палаючий||виривалися|||| Porównał to do kolosalnego podmuchu płomienia, który nagle i gwałtownie wytrysnął z planety, "jak płonące gazy z pistoletu".

Bunu gezegenden aniden ve şiddetli bir şekilde fışkıran devasa bir alev püskürmesine benzetti, "tıpkı bir silahtan fırlayan alevli gazlar gibi".

<p>In spite of all that has happened since, I still remember that vigil very distinctly: the black and silent observatory, the shadowed lantern throwing a feeble glow upon the floor in the corner, the steady ticking of the clockwork of the telescope, the little slit in the roof—an oblong profundity with the stardust streaked across it. |||||||||||||night watch|||||||||||||dim|||||||||||||||||||narrow opening|||||rectangular shape||||||| |||||||||||||||чітко||||||||ліхтар|||||||||||||цокання|||||||||||||||||||прошитий|| <p>Mimo tego wszystkiego, co wydarzyło się później, wciąż bardzo wyraźnie pamiętam tamto czuwanie: czarne i ciche obserwatorium, cienistą latarnię rzucającą słaby blask na podłogę w rogu, miarowe tykanie zegara teleskopu, małą szczelinę w dachu - podłużną głębię z rozsypanym po niej gwiezdnym pyłem. <p>Apesar de tudo o que se passou desde então, ainda me lembro muito bem dessa vigília: o observatório negro e silencioso, a lanterna sombria que lançava um brilho débil no chão a um canto, o tique-taque constante do relógio do telescópio, a pequena fenda no teto - uma profundidade oblonga com a poeira estelar estendida sobre ela. <p>O zamandan beri olan her şeye rağmen, o nöbeti hâlâ çok net hatırlıyorum: siyah ve sessiz gözlemevi, köşedeki yere zayıf bir ışık saçan gölgeli fener, teleskobun saatinin sabit tik takları, çatıdaki küçük yarık -üzerinde yıldız tozları serpiştirilmiş dikdörtgen bir derinlik. Ogilvy moved about, invisible but audible. Ogilvy se déplaçait, invisible mais audible. Ogilvy poruszył się, niewidoczny, ale słyszalny. Ogilvy movia-se, invisível mas audível. Ogilvy görünmez ama duyulabilir bir şekilde hareket etti. Looking through the telescope, one saw a circle of deep blue and the little round planet swimming in the field. En regardant à travers le télescope, on a vu un cercle d'un bleu profond et la petite planète ronde nageant dans le champ. Patrząc przez teleskop, można było zobaczyć krąg głębokiego błękitu i małą okrągłą planetę pływającą w polu. Teleskoptan bakıldığında, koyu mavi bir daire ve alanda yüzen küçük yuvarlak gezegen görülüyordu.

Near it in the field, I remember, were three faint points of light, three telescopic stars infinitely remote, and all around it was the unfathomable darkness of empty space. ||||||||||||||||||||||||immeasurable|void of space||| ||||||||||||||||безмежно|віддалені|||||||незбагненна темрява|||| Pamiętam, że w jego pobliżu znajdowały się trzy słabe punkty światła, trzy nieskończenie odległe gwiazdy teleskopowe, a wokół panowała niezgłębiona ciemność pustej przestrzeni.

You know how that blackness looks on a frosty starlight night. Você sabe como fica essa escuridão em uma noite gelada de luz das estrelas. In a telescope it seems far profounder. W teleskopie wydaje się znacznie głębszy. Em um telescópio, parece muito mais profundo. And invisible to me because it was so remote and small, flying swiftly and steadily towards me across that incredible distance, drawing nearer every minute by so many thousands of miles, came the Thing they were sending us, the Thing that was to bring so much struggle and calamity and death to the earth. ||||||||||||швидко||стабільно||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| I niewidzialna dla mnie, ponieważ była tak odległa i mała, lecąc szybko i miarowo w moją stronę przez tę niewiarygodną odległość, zbliżając się z każdą minutą o wiele tysięcy mil, przybyła Rzecz, którą nam przysłali, Rzecz, która miała sprowadzić na ziemię tyle walki, nieszczęść i śmierci.

A reddish flash at the edge, the slightest projection of the outline just as the chronometer struck midnight; and at that I told Ogilvy and he took my place.pan> The night was warm and I was thirsty, and I went stretching my legs clumsily and feeling my way in the darkness, to the little table where the siphon stood, while Ogilvy exclaimed at the streamer of gas that came out towards us. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Soda dispenser|||||||||||emerged||| |||||||найменший|||||||||пробивала північ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||незграбно|||||||темряві||||||||||||||струмінь газу||||||| Czerwonawy błysk na krawędzi, najmniejszy zarys w momencie, gdy chronometr wybił północ; powiedziałem o tym Ogilvy'emu, a on zajął moje miejsce.

Um clarão avermelhado na extremidade, a mais ligeira projeção do contorno no momento em que o cronómetro bateu a meia-noite; e foi aí que avisei Ogilvy e ele tomou o meu lugar.pan> A noite estava quente e eu tinha sede, e fui esticando as pernas desajeitadamente e abrindo caminho na escuridão, até à pequena mesa onde estava o sifão, enquanto Ogilvy exclamava com a corrente de gás que saía na nossa direção. That night another invisible missile started on its way to the earth from Mars, just a second or so under twenty-four hours after the first one. ||||ракета|||||||||||||||||||||| I remember how I sat on the table there in the blackness, with patches of green and crimson swimming before my eyes. |||||||||||||spots|||||||| |||||||||||||плями|||||||| Pamiętam, jak siedziałem tam na stole w czerni, z plamami zieleni i karmazynu pływającymi przed moimi oczami.

Desejei ter uma luz para fumar, sem suspeitar do significado do brilho minúsculo que tinha visto e de tudo o que ele me traria em breve.

Hundreds of observers saw the flame that night and the night after about midnight, and again the night after; and so for ten nights, a flame each night. Setki obserwatorów widziało płomień tej nocy i następnej nocy około północy, i ponownie następnej nocy; i tak przez dziesięć nocy, płomień każdej nocy. Why the shots ceased after the tenth no one on earth has attempted to explain. |||припинилися|||десятий|||||||| Por que os tiros cessaram depois do décimo, ninguém na terra tentou explicar. It may be the gases of the firing caused the Martians inconvenience. Być może gazy powstałe w wyniku ostrzału spowodowały niedogodności dla Marsjan. Pode ser que os gases do fogo tenham causado transtorno aos marcianos. Dense clouds of smoke or dust, visible through a powerful telescope on earth as little grey, fluctuating patches, spread through the clearness of the planet's atmosphere and obscured its more familiar features. |||||||||||||||||плями|поширювалися|||||||||затуманювали|||| Gęste chmury dymu lub pyłu, widoczne przez potężny teleskop na Ziemi jako małe szare, zmienne plamy, rozprzestrzeniły się przez przejrzystą atmosferę planety i przesłoniły jej bardziej znane cechy.

Even the daily papers woke up to the disturbances at last, and popular notes appeared here, there, and everywhere concerning the volcanoes upon Mars. Nawet gazety codzienne w końcu ocknęły się z niepokojów, a tu, tam i wszędzie pojawiały się popularne notatki na temat wulkanów na Marsie. The seriocomic periodical Punch, I remember, made a happy use of it in the political cartoon. Pamiętam, że seriokomiczny periodyk Punch z radością wykorzystał go w komiksie politycznym. O periódico seriocômico Punch, eu me lembro, fez um uso feliz disso no cartoon político.

И, ни о чем не подозревая, ракеты, выпущенные по нам марсианами, приближались к земле, мчась теперь со скоростью многие мили в секунду через пустую бездну космоса, час за часом и день за днем, все ближе и ближе.
