Story Transcript:
Sl: Ko je Matevž vstopil v majhno kavarno v Ljubljani, je zadišalo po sveže kuhani kavi.
En: When Matevž entered the small café in Ljubljana, it smelled of freshly brewed coffee.
Sl: Bil je hladen zimski dan, ljudje pa so s spretno prepletenimi plašči in šali sedeli za majhnimi mizicami, pripravljeni na nov dan.
En: It was a cold winter day, and people wrapped in skillfully intertwined coats and scarves sat by small tables, ready for the new day.
Sl: Matevž je le iskal miren kotiček, kjer bi vzel svojo kavo in preletel nekaj strani novega rokopisa.
En: Matevž was just looking for a quiet corner to take his coffee and skim through a few pages of the new manuscript.
Sl: Njegov dan se ni smel začeti brez popolne skodelice kave.
En: His day couldn't start without a perfect cup of coffee.
Sl: Na pultu pri blagajni se je vila dolga vrsta.
En: There was a long line at the counter.
Sl: Matevž je zdržema opazoval baristo, ki je pripravljal več naročil naenkrat.
En: Matevž observed the barista who was preparing multiple orders at once.
Sl: Ko končno pride na vrsto, jasno naroči: "En espresso, prosim.
En: When his turn finally came, he clearly ordered, "One espresso, please."
Sl: " Da bi prekratil čas, medtem ko čaka, pogleda naokrog.
En: To pass the time while waiting, he looked around.
Sl: Blizu je stala Tadeja, ki je živahno klepetala z nekom na telefonu in se veselo smejala.
En: Nearby stood Tadeja, who was lively chatting with someone on the phone and laughing cheerfully.
Sl: Njen glas je bil skoraj melodičen.
En: Her voice was almost melodic.
Sl: Na drugi strani kavarne pa je bil Gorazd, z glavo skoraj zakopan v laptop, s prsti, ki so divje udarjali po tipkovnici.
En: On the other side of the café was Gorazd, with his head nearly buried in his laptop, fingers wildly typing on the keyboard.
Sl: Zdel se je popolnoma osredotočen na delo.
En: He seemed completely focused on work.
Sl: Ko Matevževo ime pokličejo, je hitro stopil do pulta, toda isto naredijo tudi Tadeja in Gorazd.
En: When Matevž's name was called, he quickly stepped to the counter, but so did Tadeja and Gorazd.
Sl: Vsi trije se srečajo ob vzajemnem pogledu nejevere.
En: All three met with mutual looks of disbelief.
Sl: "Mislil sem, da je to moja kava," reče Matevž.
En: "I thought this was my coffee," Matevž said.
Sl: "Tudi jaz!
En: "Me too!
Sl: Točno tako sem naročil," vzklikne Tadeja, še vedno v dobri volji.
En: That's exactly what I ordered," exclaimed Tadeja, still in good spirits.
Sl: Gorazd umakne pogled z zaslona, zmeden: "Pardon, mislim, da je to moje naročilo.
En: Gorazd looked up from his screen, confused: "Sorry, I think this is my order."
Sl: "Matevž globoko vdihne.
En: Matevž took a deep breath.
Sl: Na trenutek pomisli, da bi protestiral, a se odloči ubrati drugačen pristop.
En: For a moment, he thought about protesting, but decided to take a different approach.
Sl: "Zakaj ne bi skupaj ugotovili, katera kava je čigava?
En: "Why don't we figure out together whose coffee is whose?
Sl: Mogoče smo slučajno vsi naročili isto.
En: Maybe we all happened to order the same thing."
Sl: "Tadeja se strinja: "Dobra ideja!
En: Tadeja agreed: "Good idea!
Sl: Pogovorimo se.
En: Let's talk it over."
Sl: " Gorazd sicer za
