Tarzan (John Clayton II, Viscount Greystoke) is a fictional character, an archetypal feral child raised in the African jungle by the Mangani great apes.
Is carachtar ficseanúil é Tarzan (John Clayton II, Bíocunta Greystoke), leanbh feadánach archetypal a thóg apes móra Mangani i ndúiche na hAfraice.
Tarzan is the son of a British lord and lady who were marooned on the Atlantic coast of Africa by mutineers.
Is mac le tiarna agus bean Briotanach é Tarzan a chuir mutineers ar chósta Atlantach na hAfraice.
When Tarzan was an infant, his mother died, and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the ape tribe by whom Tarzan was adopted.
Nuair a bhí Tarzan ina naíonán, fuair a mháthair bás, agus mharaigh Kerchak a athair, ceannaire na treibhe ape ar ghlac Tarzan leis.
Soon after his parents death, Tarzan became a feral child, and his tribe of apes are known as the Mangani, Great Apes of a species unknown to science.
Go luath tar éis bhás a thuismitheoirí, tháinig Tarzan chun bheith ina leanbh feasach, agus tugtar an Mangani, Apes Mór de speiceas nach eol don eolaíocht ar a threibh apes.
Kala is his ape mother.
Is é Kala a mháthair ape.
Burroughs added stories occurring during Tarzans adolescence in his sixth Tarzan book, Jungle Tales of Tarzan.
Chuir Burroughs scéalta leis a tharla le linn ógántacht Tarzan ina séú leabhar Tarzan, Jungle Tales of Tarzan.
Jane.
Jane.
As an 18-year-old young adult, Tarzan meets a young American woman named Jane Porter.
Mar dhuine fásta óg 18 mbliana d’aois, buaileann Tarzan le bean óg Meiriceánach darb ainm Jane Porter.
She, her father, and others of their party are marooned on the same coastal jungle area where Tarzans human parents were 20 years earlier.
Tá sí féin, a hathair, agus daoine eile dá gcóisir ar maos ar an limistéar dufaire cósta céanna ina raibh tuismitheoirí daonna Tarzan 20 bliain roimhe sin.
When Jane returns to the United States, Tarzan leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love.
Nuair a fhilleann Jane ar na Stáit Aontaithe, fágann Tarzan an dufaire sa tóir uirthi, an fíor-ghrá atá aige.
In The Return of Tarzan, Tarzan and Jane marry.
In The Return of Tarzan, pósann Tarzan agus Jane.
In later books he lives with her for a time in England.
I leabhair níos déanaí tá sé ina chónaí léi ar feadh tamaill i Sasana.
They have one son, Jack, who takes the ape name Korak (the Killer).
Tá mac amháin acu, Jack, a thógann an t-ainm ape Korak (‘an Killer’).
Tarzan is contemptuous of what he sees as the hypocrisy of civilization, so he and Jane return to Africa, making their home on an extensive estate that becomes a base for Tarzans later adventures.
Tá Tarzan díspeagúil ar an rud a fheiceann sé mar hypocrisy na sibhialtachta, agus mar sin filleann sé féin agus Jane ar an Afraic, ag déanamh a dteach ar eastát fairsing a thagann chun bheith ina bhunáit d’eachtraí níos déanaí Tarzan.
Physical abilities.
Cumas fisiceach.

Tarzans agility, speed, and strength allow him to kill a Leopard in 1921s The Adventures of Tarzan.
Ligeann aclaíocht, luas agus neart Tarzan dó Liopard a mharú in The Adventures of Tarzan i 1921.
Tarzans jungle upbringing gives him abilities far beyond those of ordinary humans.
Tugann tógáil jungle Tarzan cumais dó i bhfad níos mó ná cumais ghnáthdhaoine.
These include climbing, clinging, and leaping as well as any great ape.
Ina measc seo tá dreapadh, bearradh, agus léim chomh maith le haon ape iontach.
He uses branches and swings from vines to travel at great speed, a skill acquired among the anthropoid apes.
Úsáideann sé brainsí agus luascáin ó fhíniúnacha chun taisteal ar luas an- mhaith, scil a fuarthas i measc na n-apes anthropoid.
His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and swimming skills are extraordinary in comparison to normal men.
Tá a neart, a luas, a stamina, a aclaíocht, a atlais agus a scileanna snámha urghnách i gcomparáid le gnáthfhir.
He has wrestled full-grown bull apes and gorillas, lions, rhinos, crocodiles, pythons, sharks, tigers, giant seahorses, and even dinosaurs (when he visited Pellucidar).
Tá sé tar éis apes tarbh lánfhásta agus gorillas, leoin, rhinos, crogaill, pythons, siorcanna, tigers, seahorses ollmhór, agus fiú dinosaurs (nuair a thug sé cuairt ar Pellucidar).
Tarzan is a skilled tracker and uses his exceptional hearing and keen sense of smell to follow prey or avoid predators.
Is rianaitheoir oilte é Tarzan agus úsáideann sé a bholadh eisceachtúil éisteachta agus a bholadh géar chun creiche a leanúint nó creachadóirí a sheachaint.
Personality.
Pearsantacht.
He is presented as behaving ethically in most situations, except when seeking vengeance under the motivation of grief, as when his ape mother Kala is killed in Tarzan of the Apes; or when he believes Jane has been murdered in Tarzan the Untamed.
Cuirtear i láthair é mar iompar go heiticiúil i bhformhór na gcásanna, ach amháin nuair a bhíonn díoltas á lorg aige faoi spreagadh an bhróin, amhail nuair a mharaítear a mháthair ape Kala i Tarzan of the Apes; nó nuair a chreideann sé gur dúnmharaíodh Jane i Tarzan the Untamed.
He is deeply in love with his wife and totally devoted to her; in numerous situations where other women express their attraction to him, Tarzan politely but firmly declines their attentions.
Tá grá mór aige dá bhean chéile agus díograiseach go hiomlán di; i go leor cásanna ina gcuireann mná eile a n-aird in iúl dó, laghdaíonn Tarzan a n-aird go béasach ach go daingean.
When presented with a situation where a weaker individual or party is being preyed upon by a stronger foe, Tarzan invariably takes the side of the weaker party.
Nuair a chuirtear i láthair é nuair a bhíonn foe níos láidre ag creachadh duine níos laige nó páirtí, glacann Tarzan taobh an pháirtí is laige i gcónaí.
In dealing with other men, Tarzan is firm and forceful.
Agus é ag déileáil le fir eile, tá Tarzan daingean agus láidir.
With male friends, he is reserved but deeply loyal and generous.
Le cairde fireann, tá sé in áirithe ach dílis agus flaithiúil go domhain.
As a host, he is, likewise, generous and gracious.
Mar óstach, tá sé, mar an gcéanna, flaithiúil agus grásta.
As a leader, he commands devoted loyalty.
Mar cheannaire, ordaíonn sé dílseacht thiomnaithe.
In keeping with these noble characteristics, Tarzans philosophy embraces an extreme form of “return to nature.”
Ag teacht leis na tréithe uasal seo, cuimsíonn fealsúnacht Tarzan foirm mhór “filleadh ar an dúlra.”
Although he is able to pass within society as a civilized individual, he prefers to “strip off the thin veneer of civilization,” as Burroughs often puts it.[6] His preferred dress is a knife and a loincloth of animal hide; his preferred abode is any convenient tree branch when he desires to sleep; and his favored food is raw meat, killed by himself; even better if he is able to bury it a week so that putrefaction has had a chance to tenderize it a bit.
Cé go bhfuil sé in ann pas a fháil sa tsochaí mar dhuine sibhialta, is fearr leis “veinír tanaí na sibhialtachta a scriosadh,” mar a chuireann Burroughs air go minic. [6] Is é an gúna is fearr leis ná scian agus loincloth de seiche ainmhithe; is é an áit chónaithe is fearr leis ná aon bhrainse áisiúil crainn nuair is mian leis codladh; agus is é an bia is fearr leis ná feoil amh, a mharaíonn sé féin; níos fearr fós má tá sé in ann é a adhlacadh in aghaidh na seachtaine ionas go mbeidh deis ag putrefaction é a thairiscint beagán.
