Story Transcript:

Ca: L'aire fred de l'hivern envoltava Barcelona mentre els estudiants es reunien davant la majestuosa Sagrada Família.
En: The cold winter air enveloped Barcelona as the students gathered in front of the majestic Sagrada Família.

Ca: Els arbres estaven despullats, però l'estructura de Gaudí lluïa amb tota la seva esplendor, com si fos un regal per Sant Valentí.
En: The trees were bare, but Gaudí's structure shone in all its splendor, like a gift for Valentine's Day.

Ca: Mireia i Oriol eren dos dels estudiants que formaven part d’aquesta excursió especial.
En: Mireia and Oriol were two of the students who were part of this special excursion.

Ca: Tots dos eren estudiants d'art, però tenien interessos diferents.
En: Both were art students, but they had different interests.

Ca: Mireia estava molt emocionada; la seva passió per l'arquitectura la portava a estudiar cada detall del temple amb ulls brillants.
En: Mireia was very excited; her passion for architecture drove her to study every detail of the temple with shining eyes.

Ca: Oriol, però, estava una mica nerviós.
En: Oriol, however, was a little nervous.

Ca: Volia aprofitar aquest moment per confessar els seus sentiments cap a Mireia.
En: He wanted to use this moment to confess his feelings for Mireia.

Ca: Mentre el professor explicava la història de la construcció de la Sagrada Família, Mireia observava atenta els vitralls acolorits.
En: While the teacher explained the history of the construction of the Sagrada Família, Mireia attentively observed the colorful stained glass windows.

Ca: Els raigs de sol d'hivern travessaven el vidre, projectant llums de colors al terra.
En: The winter sun's rays passed through the glass, casting colored lights on the floor.

Ca: Sentia que cada part del temple tenia una història a explicar, i això la fascinava.
En: She felt that every part of the temple had a story to tell, and this fascinated her.

Ca: "Oriol," va dir Mireia de sobte.
En: "Oriol," said Mireia suddenly.

Ca: "Vols venir amb mi a veure de prop aquests detalls de l'entrada principal?"
En: "Do you want to come with me to see these details up close at the main entrance?"

Ca: Oriol, sorprès per aquesta oportunitat inesperada, va assentir amb un somriure tímid.
En: Oriol, surprised by this unexpected opportunity, nodded with a shy smile.

Ca: Van caminar junts sota les figures de pedra.
En: They walked together under the stone figures.

Ca: Mireia estava tan concentrada a fer esbossos ràpids i prendre notes que no es va adonar del nerviosisme d'Oriol.
En: Mireia was so focused on making quick sketches and taking notes that she didn't notice Oriol's nervousness.

Ca: Amb cada pas, Oriol buscava les paraules adequades.
En: With each step, Oriol searched for the right words.

Ca: "Mireia," va dir finalment, amb la veu una mica trémula, "aquesta catedral és tan impressionant com tu quan parles d'art."
En: "Mireia," he finally said, with a slightly trembling voice, "this cathedral is as impressive as you when you talk about art."

Ca: Mireia el va mirar sorpresa, deixant de dibuixar.
En: Mireia looked at him, surprised, stopping her drawing.

Ca: "Gràcies, Oriol. No sabia que escoltaves tant el que dic."
En: "Thank you, Oriol. I didn't know you listened so much to what I say."

Ca: Oriol va respirar profundament.
