Story Transcript:
Sl: Svetloba mediteranskega sonca se je razlivala po pisano nadkritih stojnicah na tržnici v Kopru.
En: The light of the Mediterranean sun poured over the brightly covered stalls at the market in Koper.
Sl: Zrak je bil napolnjen z dišečimi vonji svežih rib in zelenjave, pomešan s prijetnim vonjem soli, ki jo je prinašal vetrič z bližnjega morja.
En: The air was filled with the fragrant scents of fresh fish and vegetables, mixed with the pleasant smell of salt brought in by the breeze from the nearby sea.
Sl: Medtem ko so prodajalci glasno vabili kupce, je Neža z radovednimi očmi hodila med stojnicami.
En: While the vendors loudly beckoned customers, Neža walked among the stalls with curious eyes.
Sl: Neža je bila domača kuharica.
En: Neža was a home cook.
Sl: Stalno je iskala edinstvene sestavine za svoje jedi.
En: She was constantly searching for unique ingredients for her dishes.
Sl: Kajti jesen je bila čas, ko je ustvarjala svojo posebno morsko enolončnico.
En: Autumn was the time when she created her special seafood stew.
Sl: Vse potrebne sestavine je že imela, a potrebovala je nekaj posebnega – redka morska zelišča, ki jih je včasih imel Bojan, izkušen ribič in prodajalec.
En: She already had all the necessary ingredients but needed something special — rare sea herbs sometimes carried by Bojan, an experienced fisherman and vendor.
Sl: Bojan je bil znan po svojem svežem ulovu.
En: Bojan was known for his fresh catch.
Sl: Danes je njegova stojnica bila polna živahnih rib in školjk.
En: Today, his stall was full of vibrant fish and shellfish.
Sl: Neža se mu je nasmehnila.
En: Neža smiled at him.
Sl: "Živijo, Bojan!
En: "Hello, Bojan!
Sl: Imaš morda tista zelišča, ki bi mi polepšala enolončnico?
En: Do you perhaps have those herbs that would enhance my stew?"
Sl: "Bojan se je popraskal po bradi.
En: Bojan scratched his chin.
Sl: "Zelišča so letos bolj redka zaradi nedavnih neviht.
En: "The herbs are scarcer this year because of the recent storms.
Sl: Ampak," je dodal z iskrico v očeh, "imam še nekaj.
En: But," he added with a twinkle in his eye, "I do have some.
Sl: Vprašanje je, komu jih naj prodam.
En: The question is, to whom should I sell them?"
Sl: "Neža je vedela, da bo morala prepričati Bojana.
En: Neža knew she would have to persuade Bojan.
Sl: "Veš," je rekla in iz košare izvlekla papirnato vrečko, "imam sveže domače pecivo.
En: "You know," she said, pulling a paper bag from her basket, "I have fresh homemade pastries.
Sl: Morda bi lahko izmenjala za tista zelišča?
En: Maybe we could trade for those herbs?
Sl: Tvoja riba vedno najde prostor v moji enolončnici.
En: Your fish always finds a spot in my stew."
Sl: "Bojan se je zasmejal.
En: Bojan laughed.
Sl: Ljubezen do kuhanja in želja po popolni jedi v njenem glasu sta ga ganili.
En: The love for cooking and the desire for the perfect dish in her voice moved him.
Sl: "Stopi bližje, Neža.
En: "Step closer, Neža.
Sl: Imam ravno dovolj za eno prodajo.
En: I have just enough for one sale."
Sl: "Neža je globoko vdihnila in z njim delila zgodbo o svoji babici.
En: Neža took a deep breath and shared a story about her grandmother with him.
Sl: "Bila je kuharica, ki je delala najboljše jedi.
En: "She
