23
00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:49.439
El sol brillaba intensamente en el jardín botánico de Buenos Aires.
24
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.719
La primavera había llegado y con ella, un mar de
25
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.829
colores vibrantes. Flores de todos los tamaños y formas lucían
26
00:01:58.849 --> 00:02:03.930
como salpicaduras de pintura en un lienzo verde. Inés, una
27
00:02:03.989 --> 00:02:09.289
artista botánica, iba al jardín en busca de inspiración. Aunque
28
00:02:09.310 --> 00:02:12.469
su amor por la naturaleza era profundo, a menudo se
29
00:02:12.509 --> 00:02:18.110
sentía sola en su trabajo. Mariana, su amiga, siempre insistía
30
00:02:18.150 --> 00:02:22.629
en que conociera a más personas. Inés miró las flores,
31
00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:27.780
sosteniendo su cuaderno de bocetos en sus manos. Sentió el
32
00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:31.090
viento suave bailar entre el perfume dulce de las flores.
33
00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:35.590
Mariana le había hablado de una sesión de dibujo grupal,
34
00:02:35.930 --> 00:02:40.479
pero Inés dudaba. Rechazos pasados le pesaban y su enfoque
35
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.759
estaba dedicado casi por completo a su arte. Vamos, Inés.
36
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:53.330
Insistió Mariana un día. Te hará bien. Podrías conocer a
37
00:02:53.389 --> 00:03:00.759
alguien interesante. Finalmente, Inés made a decision. That Saturday, he
38
00:03:01.139 --> 00:03:04.710
joined the group in the garden. In the shadow of
39
00:03:04.729 --> 00:03:10.250
a majestic oak, the group had met. Among the participants
40
00:03:10.810 --> 00:03:13.810
was Sergio, an architect who was looking for an escape
41
00:03:13.849 --> 00:03:18.250
from the rigidity of urban life. He liked to draw
42
00:03:18.330 --> 00:03:22.219
a lot and the botanical garden was his refuge. Inés
43
00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:27.580
sat near him without realizing it. Sergio la notó y sonrió.
44
00:03:28.909 --> 00:03:33.110
Cuaderno en mano, los dos comenzaron a dibujar los mismos capullos.
45
00:03:34.530 --> 00:03:37.689
Era como si sus lápices danzaran al mismo ritmo sobre
46
00:03:37.729 --> 00:03:42.000
el papel. La atmósfera del jardín, con su calma y
47
00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:47.000
sus suaves murmullos de hojas, los envolvía. Tus dibujos son
48
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:52.310
muy buenos, dijo Sergio, rompiendo el silencio. Puedes ver que
49
00:03:52.349 --> 00:03:58.099
de verdad amas las plantas. La conversación comenzó tímidamente, pero
50
00:03:58.139 --> 00:04:03.000
pronto fluyó con naturalidad. Hablaban de la belleza del jardín,
51
00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:06.430
de su vida en la ciudad, de sueños y esperanzas.
52
00:04:07.849 --> 00:04:10.810
Inés se sorprendió de lo fácil que era hablar con él.
53
00:04:12.090 --> 00:04:14.370
Creo que ver este lugar a través de tus ojos
54
00:04:14.389 --> 00:04:20.329
me da una nueva perspectiva, confesó Sergio. Aquel instante fue especial.
55
00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:24.649
Inés felt that she had found in Sergio someone who
56
00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:29.029
understood his love for nature. When he left the garden
57
00:04:29.050 --> 00:04:31.810
that day, with the sun starting to hide, Inés realized
58
00:04:31.829 --> 00:04:36.439
that something had changed. As he walked, he felt a
59
00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:39.220
new spark inside him. The spark of wanting to open
60
00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:42.500
up more to this world, of wanting to share it
61
00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:50.120
with others. At home, Sus bocetos ahora contaban una historia
62
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.990
no sólo de la flora del jardín, sino también de
63
00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:57.750
un nuevo comienzo. Con el tiempo, la conexión entre Inés
64
00:04:57.829 --> 00:05:03.149
y Sergio se fortaleció. Volvieron al jardín, hicieron más esbozos
65
00:05:03.170 --> 00:05:08.129
juntos y compartieron más historias. Inés había encontrado lo que
66
00:05:08.170 --> 00:05:11.310
buscaba

sin saberlo, un nuevo enfoque para su arte y
67
00:05:11.329 --> 00:05:16.399
una conexión sincera con alguien que valoraba su perspectiva. Y así,
68
00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:20.839
la primavera, con todas sus promesas, floreció dentro de ella,
69
00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:24.740
trayendo consigo cambios renovadores y una nueva forma de ver
70
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:25.259
el mundo.
71
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.480
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
72
00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:30.139
may have missed.
73
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.839
El sol brillaba intensamente en el Jardín Botánico de Buenos Aires.
74
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.870
The sun shone brightly in the Jardín Botánico de Buenos Aires.
75
00:05:41.990 --> 00:05:45.730
La primavera había llegado y con ella un mar de
76
00:05:45.769 --> 00:05:47.170
colores vibrantes.
77
00:05:49.170 --> 00:05:52.009
Spring had arrived and with it, a sea of vibrant colors.
78
00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:57.910
Flores de todos los tamaños y formas lucían como salpicaduras
79
00:05:57.930 --> 00:06:00.170
de pintura en un lienzo verde.
80
00:06:01.949 --> 00:06:04.680
Flowers of all sizes and shapes looked like splashes of
81
00:06:04.779 --> 00:06:06.160
paint on a green canvas.
82
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:13.519
Inés, una artista botánica, iba al jardín en busca de inspiración.
83
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.569
Inés, a botanical artist. went to the garden in search
84
00:06:18.589 --> 00:06:19.350
of inspiration.
85
00:06:19.370 --> 00:06:24.170
Even though her love for nature was profound, she often
86
00:06:24.189 --> 00:06:26.339
felt lonely in her work. Mariana, her friend, always insisted
87
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:49.300
that she meet more people. Inés miró las flores, sosteniendo
88
00:06:49.339 --> 00:06:52.139
su cuaderno de bocetos en sus manos.
89
00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:57.220
Inés looked at the flowers, holding her sketchbook in her hands.
90
00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:02.410
Sintió el viento suave bailar entre el perfume dulce de
91
00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:03.269
las flores.
92
00:07:05.230 --> 00:07:07.949
She felt the gentle wind dance between the sweet perfume
93
00:07:07.990 --> 00:07:08.689
of the flowers.
94
00:07:09.829 --> 00:07:13.829
Mariana le había hablado de una sesión de dibujo grupal,
95
00:07:14.310 --> 00:07:15.480
pero Inés dudaba.
96
00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:20.990
Mariana had mentioned a group drawing session, but Inés hesitated.
97
00:07:22.050 --> 00:07:26.689
Rechazos pasados le pesaban y su enfoque estaba dedicado casi
98
00:07:26.730 --> 00:07:28.430
por completo a su arte.
99
00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:33.379
Past rejections weighed on her, and her focus was devoted
100
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.959
almost entirely to her art.
101
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:37.759
Vamos, Inés.
102
00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:40.339
Come on, Inés.
103
00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:43.500
Insistió Mariana un día.
104
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:57.339
Mariana insisted one day. It will do you good. You
105
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:58.540
might meet someone interesting.
106
00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:02.579
Finally, Inés made a decision. That Saturday, she joined the
107
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:27.959
group in the garden. En la sombra.
108
00:08:22.750 --> 00:08:25.009
De un majestuoso roble, el grupo se había reunido.
109
00:08:26.110 --> 00:08:31.709
Entre los participantes estaba Sergio, un arquitecto que buscaba un
110
00:08:31.769 --> 00:08:34.669
escape de la rigidez de la vida urbana.
111
00:08:36.529 --> 00:08:39.960
Among the participants was Sergio, an architect looking for an
112
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.080
escape from the rigidity of urban life.
113
00:08:43.269 --> 00:08:47.970
Le gustaba mucho dibujar y el jardín botánico era su refugio.
114
00:08:49.750 --> 00:08:53.350
He really enjoyed drawing and the Jardin Botanico was his refuge.
115
00:08:54.529 --> 00:08:58.000
Inés se sentó cerca de él sin darse cuenta.
116
00:08:59.789 --> 00:09:01.740
Inés sat near him without realizing it.
117
00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:04.940
Sergio la notó y sonrió.
118
00:09:06.779 --> 00:09:08.299
Sergio noticed her and smiled.
119
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:14.799
Cuaderno en mano. Los dos comenzaron a dibujar los mismos capullos.
120
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.690
Notebook in hand, the two began to draw the same buds.
121
00:09:20.870 --> 00:09:24.950
Era como si sus lápices danzaran al mismo ritmo sobre
122
00:09:24.970 --> 00:09:25.669
el papel.
123
00:09:27.470 --> 00:09:29.610
It was as if their pencils danced to the same
124
00:09:29.669 --> 00:09:30.509
rhythm on the paper.
125
00:09:31.610 --> 00:09:35.490
La atmósfera del jardín, con su calma y sus suaves
126
00:09:35.529 --> 00:09:38.110
murmullos de hojas, los envolvía.
127
00:09:40.210 --> 00:09:43.100
The atmosphere of the garden, with its calm and gentle
128
00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:44.940
murmurs of leaves, enveloped them.
129
00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:51.120
Your drawings are very good, Sergio said, breaking the silence.
130
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.240
You can see that you really love plants.
131
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:17.990
The conversation began timidly, but soon flowed naturally. Hablaban de
132
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.429
la belleza del jardín, de su vida en la ciudad,
133
00:10:19.450 --> 00:10:21.409
de sueños y esperanzas. Inés se sorprendió de lo fácil
134
00:10:21.429 --> 00:10:23.009
que era hablar con él. Creo que ver este lugar
135
00:10:23.029 --> 00:10:26.149
a través de tus ojos me da una nueva perspectiva.
136
00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:47.740
Confesó Sergio.
137
00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:51.740
I think seeing this place through your eyes gives me
138
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.000
a new perspective. Sergio confessed.
139
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.340
Aquel instante fue especial.
140
00:10:59.090 --> 00:11:00.129
That moment was special.
141
00:11:01.269 --> 00:11:04.889
Inés sintió que había encontrado en Sergio a alguien que
142
00:11:04.950 --> 00:11:07.789
comprendía su amor por la
naturaleza.
143
00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:12.230
Inés felt she had found in Sergio someone who understood
144
00:11:12.269 --> 00:11:13.169
her love for nature.
145
00:11:14.289 --> 00:11:17.789
Al salir del jardín ese día, Con el sol empezando
146
00:11:17.809 --> 00:11:19.190
a esconderse, Inés se dio cuenta de que algo había cambiado.
147
00:11:19.590 --> 00:11:21.190
Mientras caminaba, sintió una chispa nueva en su interior. La
148
00:11:21.210 --> 00:11:22.950
chispa de querer abrirse más a este mundo cambió.
149
00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:51.669
The spark of wanting to open more to this world,
150
00:11:52.169 --> 00:11:53.470
of wanting to share it with others.
151
00:11:54.649 --> 00:11:58.590
At home, her sketches now told a story not only
152
00:11:58.750 --> 00:12:00.789
of the garden's flora, but also of a new beginning.
153
00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:17.100
La conexión entre Inés y Sergio se fortaleció.
154
00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:21.929
Over time, the connection between Inés and Sergio strengthened.
155
00:12:22.990 --> 00:12:29.289
Volvieron al jardín, hicieron más esbozos juntos y compartieron más historias.
156
00:12:31.169 --> 00:12:34.200
They returned to the garden, made more sketches together and
157
00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:35.200
shared more stories.
158
00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:40.620
Inés había encontrado lo que buscaba sin saberlo. Un nuevo
159
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.639
enfoque para su arte y una conexión sincera con alguien
160
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.600
que valoraba su perspectiva.
161
00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:51.600
Inés had found what she was unknowingly looking for. A
162
00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:54.559
new approach to her art and a sincere connection with
163
00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:56.179
someone who valued her perspective.
164
00:12:57.230 --> 00:13:02.929
Y así, la primavera, con todas sus promesas, floreció dentro
165
00:13:02.950 --> 00:13:08.210
de ella, trayendo consigo cambios renovadores y una nueva forma
166
00:13:08.250 --> 00:13:09.190
de ver el mundo.
167
00:13:11.049 --> 00:13:14.070
And thus spring with all its promises blossomed within her,
168
00:13:14.450 --> 00:13:17.330
bringing renewing changes and a new way of seeing the world.
169
00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:27.860
Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
170
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.100
Here are today's vocabulary words, first in Spanish, then in English.
171
00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:44.590
The canvas. El cuaderno de bocetos.
172
00:13:45.730 --> 00:13:46.250
