Story Transcript:
Ca: Una dolça brisa marina recorria els carrers de Barcelona. Marta i Jordi, dos amics inseparables, caminaven amb confiança per la laberíntica ciutat vella. La idea era explorar racons de la ciutat desconeguts per a ells, però aviat es van adonar que estaven perduts. Navegar per aquests carrers estrets i sinuosos era com buscar una agulla en un paller.
En: A sweet sea breeze swept through the streets of Barcelona. Marta and Jordi, two inseparable friends, confidently walked through the labyrinthine old city. The idea was to explore corners of the city unknown to them, but soon they realized they were lost. Navigating through these narrow and winding streets was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Ca: Amb una nota de preocupació a la veu, Marta mira Jordi. "Jordi, crec que hem de tornar a la Rambla", diu.
En: With a note of concern in her voice, Marta looks at Jordi. "Jordi, I think we need to go back to Rambla," she says.
Ca: Jordi només somriu i li contesta, "Marta, no t'encanta una mica d'aventura? Estem a Barcelona, la ciutat vibrant plena de racons secrets per descobrir."
En: Jordi just smiles and replies, "Marta, don't you love a little adventure? We are in Barcelona, a vibrant city full of hidden corners to discover."
Ca: Però a mesura que passaven les hores, el sol es posava i la ciutat verda recobrava el seu esperit nocturn. Els carrers estrets s'omplien de siluetes espectrals, els fanals escampaven una llum tremolosa. Marta i Jordi, si més no, van començar a sentir-se incòmodes.
En: But as the hours passed, the sun set and the city regained its nocturnal spirit. The narrow streets filled with ghostly silhouettes, the street lamps cast a flickering light. Marta and Jordi, at least, began to feel uncomfortable.
Ca: "Mirem un moment el mapa," va sugerir Jordi, traient el seu telèfon mòbil. Però quan ho va fer, la seva cara va canviar. La bateria del seu telèfon s'havia esgotat.
En: "Let's take a look at the map for a moment," Jordi suggested, taking out his mobile phone. But when he did, his face changed. The battery of his phone had run out.
Ca: "Fem una cosa," va dir Marta, "trobarem un taxi i tornarem a l'hotel. Deu estar belluga d'aquí."
En: "Let's do one thing," Marta said, "let's find a taxi and go back to the hotel. It must be nearby."
Ca: Amb aquesta planificació en ment, varen començar a buscar un taxi. Els minuts es varen convertir en hores, i tots dos començaren a cansar-se.
En: With this plan in mind, they started looking for a taxi. Minutes turned into hours, and both of them began to get tired.
Ca: A la fi, després de llargues hores d'angoixa, un senyor gran, amb un somriure amable i tranquil·litzador, els va veure desorientats i els va ajudar a trobar un taxi que els portés a l'hotel. Marta i Jordi, tot i que avergonyits i esgotats, es varen sentir agraïts per aquesta amable actitud.
En: Finally, after long hours of anguish, an elderly gentleman, with a kind and reassuring smile, saw them disoriented and helped them find a taxi that would take them to the hotel. Marta and Jordi, though embarrassed and exhausted, felt grateful for this kind gesture.
Ca: La lluita de Marta i Jordi per navegar pels carrers estrets de Barcelona va acabar. Van aprendre que, tot i que pot ser emocionant perdre's en una ciutat desconeguda, també pot ser alarmant. La seva aventura inesperada els va proporcionar un record que, sens dubte, no oblidarien mai.
En: Marta and Jordi's struggle to navigate the narrow streets of Barcelona came to an end. They learned that, although it can be exciting to get lost in an unfamiliar city, it can also be alarming. Their unexpected adventure provided them with a memory they would never forget.
Ca: Aquella nit, després de tornar a l'hotel, varen compartir les seves aventures mentre menjaven unes delicioses tapes de calamars a la romana, riures i converses agradables omplien l'habitació. Barcelona, amb les seves alegries i desafiaments, havia esculpit un record inoblidable en els seus cors.
En: That night, after returning to the hotel, they shared their adventures while enjoying delicious fried squid tapas. Laughter and pleasant conversations filled the room. Barcelona, with its joys and challenges, had carved an unforgettable memory in their hearts.
