|
The place on the mast where the person lies can be made explicit. AT: "lies in the basket near the top of a mast" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# They hit me, ... but I was not hurt. They beat me, but I did not feel it.
|
|
|
|
Because the drunk person is not thinking clearly, he is imagining that people are hitting and beating him, yet he feels no pain and cannot remember anything.

# When will I wake up?
|
|
|
|
The drunk person is wondering when he will be sober again; when the effect of the wine will stop. |
