Pl: Pracował ciężko cały rok, by teraz móc odpocząć na tej pięknej plaży z osobą, którą kochał najbardziej.
En: He had worked hard all year to now be able to relax on this beautiful beach with the person he loved the most.

Pl: Wiedział, że Anna uwielbia morze i romantyczne chwile, dlatego postanowił zorganizować specjalną kolację przy świecach na plaży.
En: He knew that Anna adored the sea and romantic moments, so he decided to organize a special candlelit dinner on the beach.

Pl: Kiedy kelner przyniósł potrawy, Łukasz z zaciekawieniem przyglądał się ośmiornicy na swoim talerzu.
En: When the waiter brought the dishes, Łukasz curiously looked at the octopus on his plate.

Pl: Nigdy wcześniej jej nie próbował, ale chciał, by ten wieczór był wyjątkowy.
En: He had never tried it before, but he wanted this evening to be special.

Pl: Delikatnie wziął kęs... i nagle poczuł, że coś jest nie tak.

Pl: Po chwili poczuł swędzenie.
En: After a moment he felt itching.

Pl: Najpierw na języku, potem na całym ciele.
En: First on his tongue, then all over his body.

Pl: Serce zaczęło mu szybciej bić, a oddech stawał się coraz cięższy.
En: His heart started to beat faster, and breathing became increasingly difficult.

Pl: Łukasz zdawał sobie sprawę, że coś jest nie w porządku.

Pl: Anna zauważyła, że Łukasz jest blady i zdenerwowany.
En: Anna noticed that Łukasz was pale and nervous.

Pl: „Łukasz, wszystko w porządku?” zapytała z troską.

Pl: Chciał oświadczyć się Anni, nie dając się pokonać losowi.
En: He wanted to propose to Anna, not letting fate defeat him.

Pl: Wyszeptał: „Anna, chciałem cię zapytać...”, ale Anna już zdążyła zareagować.

Pl: Widząc, że jego stan się pogarsza, szybko zasymptomowała obsługę.
En: Seeing his condition worsen, she quickly alerted the staff.

Pl: Niedaleko znajdowała się stacja pierwszej pomocy.
En:...
