Story Transcript:
Cy: Ym Mae'r Gwanwyn, roedd y porthladd yn brysur yn Portsmouth.
En: In the Spring Bay, the port at Portsmouth was bustling.
Cy: Yn y bae morforol, roedd yn llawn swyddogion mewn gwisgoedd taclus.
En: In the naval bay, it was full of officers in neat uniforms.
Cy: Roedd llif o bobl o gwmpas y llongau mawrion oedd wedi angori.
En: There was a stream of people around the large ships that had anchored.
Cy: Ar yr ochr dde o'r lawnt, roedd band yn chwarae cerddoriaeth fywiog.
En: On the right side of the lawn, a band was playing lively music.
Cy: Roedd Eleri, gyda'i llygaid yn disgleirio, yn edrych yn optimistaidd ar y tir mawr.
En: Eleri, with her eyes shining, looked optimistically at the mainland.
Cy: Roedd hi'n credu ei bod wedi cael gwahoddiad i barti cwch crand.
En: She believed she had received an invitation to a grand boat party.
Cy: Ei nod oedd gwneud ffrindiau newydd a chael cyfle i rwydweithio gyda phobl ddylanwadol.
En: Her goal was to make new friends and have the opportunity to network with influential people.
Cy: Saif ger mynedfa'r digwyddiad, ond yn fuan, roedd hi'n sylweddoli nid oedd ganddi docyn.
En: She stood by the entrance to the event but soon realized she didn't have a ticket.
Cy: Heb adael i hynny ei anwybyddu, penderfynodd Eleri ymuno â grŵp o swyddogion morwrol oedd yn mynd heibio iddi.
En: Not letting that deter her, Eleri decided to join a group of naval officers who were passing by her.
Cy: Gydag ychydig o lwc, llwyddodd i sleifio heibio'r gwarchod ac i mewn i'r porthladd.
En: With a bit of luck, she managed to slip past the guard and into the port.
Cy: Unwaith y tu mewn, roedd popeth yn ysblennydd.
En: Once inside, everything was splendid.
Cy: Roedd Siân a Gareth, dau swyddog, yn sefyll jeir nad oeddent ymhell o'r harbwr.
En: Siân and Gareth, two officers, were standing not too far from the harbor.
Cy: Synhwyrodd Eleri gyfle i wneud ffrindiau newydd.
En: Eleri sensed an opportunity to make new friends.
Cy: Yn ei brwdfrydedd, cafodd damwain ambell ddiod oddi ar ddrôr, a daeth criw o bobl at ei gilydd.
En: In her enthusiasm, she accidentally bumped a few drinks off a tray, gathering a crowd of people around.
Cy: Am ennyd, teimlai embarrassing.
En: For a moment, she felt embarrassed.
Cy: Roedd yr holl lygaid arni.
En: All eyes were on her.
Cy: Yn sydyn, gwelodd y sefyllfa gyda diffyg parch.
En: Suddenly, she saw the situation with a lack of seriousness.
Cy: Gwên chwareus a ddaeth dros ei gwep, ac dywedodd Eleri, "Wel, os na allaf gael fy ngwahodd, fe ddylen nhw wneud fel pe bai rhaid galw fi i lawr gydag trîn.
En: A playful grin spread across her face, and Eleri said, "Well, if I can't get invited, they should at least act like I need to be called down with a treat."
Cy: "Roedd y bobl yn y digwyddiad wedi cyd-chwerthinu.
En: The people at the event burst into shared laughter.
Cy: Cymerodd y tensiwn ychydig arall llacio.
En: The tension eased a little.
Cy: Heb amgyffred mai cysgod o wall oedd ar y dechrau, llwyddodd Eleri i newid y sefyllfa i un chwerthin dilychwin.
En: Not realizing that a slip-up was the starting point, Eleri managed to turn the situation into one of unrestrained laughter.
Cy: Roedd y chwerthin yn parhau, a'i gymeriad gwirioneddol oedd yn brysur i bob golwg.
En: The laugh
