By the time the Fourteenth had crossed, the water would be too deep to permit a retreat.

Cuando la decimocuarta hubiera cruzado, el nivel del agua estaría tan alto que no permitiría la retirada.

If I were to retreat down the spiral staircase I would be vulnerable to an attack from above and the man I had once taken for a penny-pinching clerk was clearly capable of anything.

Si emprendía la retirada hacia la escalera de caracol, le daría la oportunidad de atacarme desde arriba, y era evidente que el hombre al que hasta hacía poco consideraba un avaro y medroso contable era capaz de cualquier cosa.

This made them laugh even more, although then they were immediately sad, since the ridiculousness of "colleague" somehow erected bridges of reinforced concrete between Europe and this drifters' retreat.

Esto los hizo reír aún más, aunque acto seguido los entristeció, pues el ridículo de un «colega», a su manera, tendía puentes de hormigón armado entre Europa y aquel rincón trashumante.

They were as unable to retreat as they were to charge forward. They could no more move than they could remain rooted in position.

Les resultaba tan imposible retroceder como atacar, tan difícil moverse como mantenerse en un sitio.

They are a harmless lot - overly - sheltered, reticent, destined for extinction." He took a step backward as if retreating from his own prediction.

Son una gente inerme... superprotegidos, reticentes, destinados a la extinción -dio un paso atrás, como retirándose de su propia predicción.

The longer the tide is out the greater the exposure of the intertidal organisms to atmospheric conditions and any material, such as oil, stranded by the retreating tide.

Cuanto más dure la marea baja mayor será la exposición de los organismos intermareales a las condiciones atmosféricas y a cualquier material, como ser hidrocarburos, encallados por la bajada de la marea.
