Ca: Les onades del mar xocaven suaument contra l'arena de la platja de la Barceloneta.
En: The waves of the sea gently crashed against the sand on the Barceloneta beach.
Ca: Els dies de tardor portaven un aire fresc, i el cel gris donava un toc especial al paisatge.
En: The autumn days brought a fresh air, and the gray sky gave a special touch to the landscape.

Ca: Només havia passat una hora des que havien arribat, però per a Oriol, el temps semblava avançar lentament.
En: Only an hour had passed since they had arrived, but for Oriol, time seemed to move slowly.

Ca: " va preguntar Pere.
En: asked Pere.

Ca: Volia impressionar Marina, però la idea de separar-se del grup i aventurar-se li causava una mica d'ansietat.

Ca: Marina reia amb cada pas i Pere feia comentaris divertits, sempre disposat a aixecar els Ă nims.
En: Marina laughed with each step and Pere made funny comments, always ready to lift spirits.
Ca: Oriol, encara una mica nerviós, es va trobar gaudint més del que havia esperat.

Ca: De sobte, sense avĂs, el cel gris va començar a descarregar petites gotes de pluja.
