Pb: "Parece um bom lugar para observar a vegetação."
En: "It looks like a good place to observe the vegetation."
Pb: Lucas assentiu, tentando disfarçar o nervosismo.

Pb: Ele respirou fundo, pensando nas palavras que iria usar.
En: He took a deep breath, thinking about the words he would use.
Pb: "Sim, aqui é ótimo.

Pb: Ele percebeu que Marina estava realmente interessada no que ele tinha a dizer.
En: He realized that Marina was genuinely interested in what he had to say.
Pb: De repente, o céu começou a escurecer.
En: Suddenly, the sky began to darken.
Pb: Nuvens pesadas aproximavam-se, e o vento ficou mais forte.
En: Heavy clouds approached, and the wind grew stronger.
Pb: Uma chuva se anunciava.
En: Rain was imminent.
Pb: Marina olhou preocupada.
En: Marina looked worried.
Pb: "Acho melhor voltarmos.
En: "I think we'd better head back.
Pb: Não podemos molhar o equipamento."
En: We can't get the equipment wet."
Pb: Lucas concordou.
En: Lucas agreed.
Pb: A chuva seria um problema, mas ele viu uma chance de mostrar que ele podia liderar também.

Pb: "Podemos continuar em outro dia", sugeriu.
En: "We can continue another day," he suggested.
Pb: "Talvez amanhã, se as nuvens forem embora."
En: "Maybe tomorrow, if the clouds clear away."
Pb: Marina sorriu, admirando a ideia de Lucas
