Story Transcript:
Sl: Matejeva zgodba se je začela na obali Pirana, kjer je veter prinašal vonj soli in pečene sardele.
En: Matej's story began on the shore of Piran, where the wind carried the scent of salt and grilled sardines.
Sl: Pomladna sonca so nežno ogrevala ribiške čolne, ki so lebdel na kristalni modrini morja.
En: The spring sun gently warmed the fishing boats, which floated on the crystal blue of the sea.
Sl: Vse je bilo pripravljeno za izlet, ki ga je Matej tako dolgo pričakoval.
En: Everything was ready for the trip that Matej had been anticipating for so long.
Sl: S sošolci so se odpravljali raziskovat morsko biologijo.
En: He and his classmates were setting off to explore marine biology.
Sl: Matej je bil tiha duša, zaljubljen v skrivnosti morskih globin.
En: Matej was a quiet soul, in love with the mysteries of the ocean depths.
Sl: Čeprav je oboževal življenje pod vodo, je imel en problem – strah pred globokim morjem.
En: Although he adored life underwater, he had one problem—a fear of the deep sea.
Sl: Vendar je bil zdaj tukaj, obdan z novo priložnostjo.
En: However, he was now here, surrounded by a new opportunity.
Sl: V mislih je imel svoje sanje o pridobitvi štipendije za univerzo.
En: In his mind, he nurtured dreams of obtaining a scholarship for university.
Sl: Neža je bila popolno nasprotje.
En: Neža was the complete opposite.
Sl: Živahna in neustrašna, je skakala od enega morskega psa do drugega, smejala se je soncu in svoji brezmejni energiji.
En: Lively and fearless, she was jumping from one shark to another, laughing at the sun and her boundless energy.
Sl: "Matej, greš z nami v vodo?
En: "Matej, are you coming into the water with us?"
Sl: " je vprašala, njene oči žarele od vznemirjenja.
En: she asked, her eyes glowing with excitement.
Sl: Anže, vedno zvest svojemu fotoaparatu, je v objektiv lovil čudovite trenutke.
En: Anže, always loyal to his camera, captured beautiful moments through the lens.
Sl: "Najboljše slike so pod vodo," je tiho rekel, ko je fotografiral galeba v letu.
En: "The best pictures are under the water," he quietly said as he photographed a seagull in flight.
Sl: Matej se je znašel na razpotju.
En: Matej found himself at a crossroads.
Sl: V srcu se mu je dvigovala želja, da bi premagal strah.
En: In his heart, the desire to overcome his fear was rising.
Sl: Projekt je bil pomemben.
En: The project was important.
Sl: Pogledal je proti prijateljema in vedel, da bo potreboval njihovo pomoč.
En: He looked towards his friends and knew he would need their help.
Sl: "Grem," je končno rekel z odločnostjo, ki ga je presenetila.
En: "I'm going," he finally said with a determination that surprised him.
Sl: Pripravili so se za potop.
En: They prepared for the dive.
Sl: Snorkling oprema, zaščitna stakla, plavuti.
En: Snorkeling gear, protective masks, fins.
Sl: Na začetku je bil Matej negotov, vendar ko je potopil glavo pod vodo, ga je objela drugačen svet.
En: At first, Matej was uncertain, but when he dipped his head underwater, he was embraced by a different world.
Sl: Roj rib, s pisanimi luskami kot mavrica, je plesal okoli njega.
En: A school of fish, with scales as colorful as a rainbow, danced around him.
Sl: Neža je plavala blizu, pokazala na nenavaden morski organizem.
En: Neža swam close by, pointing to an unusual marine organism.
Sl: "Poglej, Matej, idealno za tvoj projekt!
En: "Look, Matej, perfect for your project!"
Sl: " Njene besede so prinašale novo upanje.
En: Her words brought new hope.
Sl: Nenadoma je val potisnil Mateja globlje.
En: Suddenly, a wave pushed Matej deeper.
Sl: Občutek panike ga je za trenutek ohromil.
En: For a moment, a feeling of panic paralyzed him.
Sl: Toda potem ga je Anže potegnil nazaj, njegova mirna prisotnost kot sidro.
En: But then Anže pulled him back, his calm presence like an anchor.
Sl: Neža je smeče plavala okoli, opazila je njihovo stisko in pomagala.
En: Neža swam around, noticing their struggle and helped.
Sl: Na koncu dneva so priplavali nazaj do obale, utrujeni a zadovoljni.
En: At the end of the day, they swam back to the shore, tired but satisfied.
Sl: Matej je imel podatke.
En: Matej had the data.
Sl: Dovolj za odličen projekt in morda celo štipendijo.
En: Enough for an excellent project and perhaps even a scholarship.
Sl: Še več, ugotovil je, da se lahko zanaša na prijatelje.
En: Moreover, he realized he could rely on his friends.
Sl: Nad Piranom je zahajalo sonce in Matej je začutil, da je premagal delček svojega strahu.
En: Above Piran, the sun was setting, and Matej felt that he had conquered a piece of his fear.
Sl: V srcu mu je zorel občutek hvaležnosti.
En: A feeling of gratitude was growing in his heart.
Sl: Za morje, za prijatelje, za novo stvarjenje, ki ga je čakala.
En: For the sea, for his friends, for the new creation that awaited him.
Sl: Pozdravil je valove, ki so prinesli več kot le slano vodo.
En: He greeted the waves, which brought more than just salty water.
Sl: Prinesli so mu tudi pogum in prijateljstvo.
En: They brought him courage and friendship.
