22
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.180
Les fulles cruxien sota les nostres passes mentre ens aventuràvem
23
00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:52.760
cap a les profunditats dels boscos de Montserrat. La muntanya
24
00:01:52.819 --> 00:01:57.790
reverberava amb llegendes antigues i aquella tardor els arbres es
25
00:01:57.829 --> 00:02:02.230
vestien amb colors daurats i vermells, ballant al ritme del
26
00:02:02.290 --> 00:02:08.090
vent suau. La castanyada s'apropava i el bosc tenia un
27
00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:14.199
aire màgic i misteriós. Jordi, estàs segur que això és
28
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:20.539
una bona idea? Va preguntar Marta mentre partava una branca
29
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:25.939
baixa del seu camí. Pau estava darrere seu, amb ulls
30
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.860
vigilant les ombres que es movien entre els arbres. Sé
31
00:02:30.939 --> 00:02:34.639
que sembla una bogeria, però he de veure-ho amb els
32
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.729
meus ulls, vaig respondre, mirant endavant, on se'ls saben les
33
00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:45.990
muntanyes com gegants adormits. Sempre m'havia tret el misteri i
34
00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:51.780
la possibilitat de descobrir allò desconegut. La llegenda de la
35
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.240
cambra amagada sota Montserrat Amb el seu antic artefacte, em captivava.
36
00:02:59.590 --> 00:03:03.849
Amb el sol amagant-se darrere les muntanyes, sabíem que ens
37
00:03:03.909 --> 00:03:09.030
quedava poca llum i hauríem de ser valussos. Però el
38
00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:14.590
magnetisme de la història era massa fort. Després de les
39
00:03:14.659 --> 00:03:18.860
típiques bromes de paus sobre dracs i fades que ens espiaven,
40
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.259
vaig decidir ser valent i entrar més a fons al bosc.
41
00:03:24.669 --> 00:03:28.349
El camí es tornava més abrupte i el sol es
42
00:03:28.409 --> 00:03:33.810
fonia en un tròpic vermellós entre els arbres. El cor
43
00:03:34.030 --> 00:03:41.349
embatagava fort mentre la foscor s'acostava. Finalment, després d'una petita
44
00:03:41.389 --> 00:03:46.090
progressió cap amunt, els meus peus es van aturar davant
45
00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:54.159
d'alguna cosa inesperada. D'acord, Jordi, i ara què? Va dir Pau.
46
00:03:54.650 --> 00:04:00.129
que estava ja considerant girar cua. La meva mirada va
47
00:04:00.189 --> 00:04:04.469
caure sobre una gran porta de pedra, coberta de molsa
48
00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:11.520
i fulles. No m'ho podia creure. Potser era la cambra
49
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.879
de la llegenda. Amb les mans tremoloses, vaig palpar la
50
00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:22.910
superfície freda fins trobar una petita escletxa. Amb força i
51
00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:28.029
un poc de sort, La pedra va cedir lleugerament, obrint-se
52
00:04:28.149 --> 00:04:36.129
amb un grinyol misteriós. Dins, l'aire estava carregat d'història. Què
53
00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:42.439
hi ha? Va preguntar Marta en veu baixa, mantenint-se enrere.
54
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.360
Hi havia poca cosa aparent a l'interior, un petit gravat
55
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:54.920
en pedra que semblava simbolitzar una antiga llegenda catalana. Potser
56
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.019
no hi havia cap joia ni riqueses, però aquest símbol
57
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:05.120
significava més del que semblava a primera vista. Era tangible
58
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.100
prova de la llegenda. En sortir del bosc, foscs però motivats,
59
00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:17.149
vaig sentir una nova confiança en els passos. No només
60
00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:21.170
havia trobat una part de la història, sinó que també
61
00:05:21.189 --> 00:05:27.050
havia desafiat les meves pors. La llegenda i la realitat
62
00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:29.089
eren part del mateix.
63
00:05:29.069 --> 00:05:30.769
I això ho duia a dins.
64
00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:35.470
Amb el fred de la nit acariciant les nostres cares
65
00:05:35.670 --> 00:05:39.600
i la promesa de castanyes i panellets per davant, vaig
66
00:05:39.649 --> 00:05:43.519
tornar a Montserrat amb un nou fervor per les meravelles
67
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:49.939
i misteris del meu país natal. La llegenda, encara que modesta,
68
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.379
havia cobrat vida i jo amb ella.
69
00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:57.740
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
70
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.439
may have missed.
71
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.990
The leaves crunched under our footsteps as we ventured into
72
00:06:05.029 --> 00:06:24.459
the depths of the Montserrat forests. I aquella tardor els
73
00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:30.129
arbres es vestien amb colors daurats i vermells, ballant el
74
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:32.050
ritme del vent suau.
75
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:37.089
The mountain resonated with ancient legends, and that autumn the
76
00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:40.240
trees dressed in golden and red colors, dancing to the
77
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.439
rhythm of the gentle wind.
78
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:48.600
La castanyada s'apropava, i el bosc tenia un aire màgic
79
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:49.819
i misteriós.
80
00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:55.100
La Castañeda was approaching, and the forest had a magical
81
00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:56.199
and mysterious air.
82
00:06:57.459 --> 00:07:02.550
Jordi,¿ estás seguro que això es una buena idea?
83
00:07:04.389 --> 00:07:06.009
Jordi, are you sure this is a good idea?
84
00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:13.850
Va preguntar Marta mentre partava una branca baixa del seu camí.
85
00:07:15.649 --> 00:07:17.709
Marta asked as she pushed a low branch out of
86
00:07:17.769 --> 00:07:18.089
her way.
87
00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:24.829
Pau estava darrere seu. amb ulls vigilant les ombres que
88
00:07:24.850 --> 00:07:27.009
es movien entre els arbres.
89
00:07:28.829 --> 00:07:32.110
Pau was behind her, eyes watching the shadows moving among
90
00:07:32.129 --> 00:07:32.569
the trees.
91
00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:38.709
Sé que sembla una bogeria, però he de veure-ho amb
92
00:07:38.750 --> 00:07:45.310
els meus ulls, vaig respondre mirant endavant, on se'ls saben
93
00:07:45.370 --> 00:07:48.410
les muntanyes com gegants adormits.
94
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.279
I know it sounds crazy, but I need to see
95
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.639
it with my own eyes, I replied, looking ahead, where
96
00:07:55.660 --> 00:07:57.500
the mountains rose like sleeping giants.
97
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:04.810
Sempre m'havia tret el misteri i la possibilitat de descobrir
98
00:08:04.889 --> 00:08:06.430
allò desconegut.
99
00:08:08.290 --> 00:08:11.230
I had always been drawn to mystery and the possibility
100
00:08:11.269 --> 00:08:12.449
of discovering the unknown.
101
00:08:12.470 --> 00:08:19.430
La llegenda de la cambra amagada sota Montserrat Amb el
102
00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:23.399
seu antic artefacte, em captivava.
103
00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:28.160
The legend of the hidden chamber beneath Montserrat, with its
104
00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:30.060
ancient artifact, captivated me.
105
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:36.740
Amb el sol amagant-se darrere les muntanyes, sabíem que ens
106
00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:41.100
quedava poca llum i hauríem de ser veloços.
107
00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:45.470
With the sun setting behind the mountains, we knew we
108
00:08:45.509 --> 00:08:47.730
had little light left and would need to be quick.
109
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.139
But the magnetism of the story was too strong. After
110
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:57.279
the typical jokes from Pau about dragons and fairies spying on.
111
00:08:55.500 --> 00:09:19.419
Us, I decided to be brave and delve deeper into
112
00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:20.000
the forest.
113
00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:24.259
The path became more rugged, and the sun melted into
114
00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:29.470
a reddish glow among the trees. My heart pounded as
115
00:09:29.529 --> 00:09:53.389
the darkness approached. Finalment, després d'una petita progressió cap amunt,
116
00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:59.909
els meus peus es van aturar davant d'alguna cosa inesperada.
117
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.240
Finally, after a small climb upward, my feet stopped before
118
00:10:05.299 --> 00:10:06.299
something unexpected.
119
00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:11.019
D'acord, Jordi, i ara què?
120
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.799
OK, Jordi, what now?
121
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:19.879
Va dir Pau que estava ja considerant girar cua.
122
00:10:21.730 --> 00:10:24.009
Pau said, already considering turning back.
123
00:10:25.250 --> 00:10:29.929
La meva mirada va caure sobre una gran porta de
124
00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:33.740
pedra coberta de molsa i fulles.
125
00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:38.139
My gaze fell on a large stone door covered in
126
00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:38.940
moss and leaves.
127
00:10:40.259 --> 00:10:42.269
No m'ho podia creure.
128
00:10:44.110 --> 00:10:44.879
I couldn't believe it.
129
00:10:45.950 --> 00:10:49.450
Potser era la cambra de la llegenda.
130
00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:52.990
Maybe it was the chamber from the legend.
131
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:59.960
With trembling hands, I felt the cold surface until I
132
00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:02.539
found a small crack.
133
00:11:21.850 --> 00:11:24.090
With strength and a bit of luck, the stone gave
134
00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:26.870
way slightly, opening with a mysterious creak.
135
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.519
Dins, l'aire estava carregat d'historia.
136
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.899
Inside, the air was thick with history.
137
00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.940
Què hi ha?
138
00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:40.200
What is it?
139
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:47.070
Va preguntar Marta en veu baixa, mantenint-se enrere.
140
00:11:48.909 --> 00:11:50.750
Asked Marta in a low voice, staying back.
141
00:11:51.950 --> 00:11:57.870
Hi havia poca cosa aparent a l'interior, un petit gravat
142
00:11:57.990 --> 00:12:04.009
en pedra que semblava simbolitzar una antiga llegenda catalana.
143
00:12:05.789 --> 00:12:08.740
Inside there was little to see, just a small stone
144
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.720
carving that seemed to symbolize an ancient Catalan legend.
145
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:18.139
Potser no hi havia cap joia ni riqueses. Però aquest
146
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.399
símbol significava més del que semblava a primera vista.
147
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:23.259
Era tangible prova de la llegenda.
148
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:51.950
En sortir del bosc, As we left the forest, dark
149
00:12:51.990 --> 00:12:55.269
yet motivated, I felt a newfound confidence in my steps.
150
00:12:56.529 --> 00:13:00.669
Not only had I found part of the story, but
151
00:13:00.690 --> 00:13:14.279
I had also faced my fears. La llegenda i la
152
00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:20.080
realitat eren part del mateix i això ho duia a dins.
153
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.679
The legend and reality were part of the same, and
154
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:25.830
I carried that within me.
155
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:31.169
Amb el fred de la nit acariciant les nostres cares
156
00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:36.549
i la promesa de castanyes i panellets per davant, Vaig
157
00:13:36.610 --> 00:13:41.629
tornar a Montserrat amb un nou fervor per les meravelles
158
00:13:41.750 --> 00:13:44.710
i misteris del meu país natal.
159
00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:49.129
With the night's chill caressing our faces and the promise
160
00:13:49.169 --> 00:13:52.740
of chestnuts and panellets ahead, I returned to Montserrat with
161
00:13:52.789 --> 00:13:55.899
a renewed passion for the wonders and mysteries of my homeland.
162
00:13:57.100 --> 00:14:03.840
La llegenda, encara que modesta, havia cobrat vida i jo
163
00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:04.980
amb ella.
164
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.120
The legend, though modest, had come to life and I
165
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:09.460
with it.
166
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.919
Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
167
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:25.070
Here are today's vocabulary words, first in Catalan, then in English.
168
00:14:37.649 --> 00:14:38.809

22
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.180
Les fulles cruxien sota les nostres passes mentre ens aventuràvem
23
00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:52.760
cap a les profunditats dels boscos de Montserrat. La muntanya
24
00:01:52.819 --> 00:01:57.790
reverberava amb llegendes antigues i aquella tardor els arbres es
25
00:01:57.829 --> 00:02:02.230
vestien amb colors daurats i vermells, ballant al ritme del
26
00:02:02.290 --> 00:02:08.090
vent suau. La castanyada s'apropava i el bosc tenia un
27
00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:14.199
aire màgic i misteriós. Jordi, estàs segur que això és
28
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:20.539
una bona idea? Va preguntar Marta mentre partava una branca
29
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:25.939
baixa del seu camí. Pau estava darrere seu, amb ulls
30
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.860
vigilant les ombres que es movien entre els arbres. Sé
31
00:02:30.939 --> 00:02:34.639
que sembla una bogeria, però he de veure-ho amb els
32
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.729
meus ulls, vaig respondre, mirant endavant, on se'ls saben les
33
00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:45.990
muntanyes com gegants adormits. Sempre m'havia tret el misteri i
34
00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:51.780
la possibilitat de descobrir allò desconegut. La llegenda de la
35
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.240
cambra amagada sota Montserrat Amb el seu antic artefacte, em captivava.
36
00:02:59.590 --> 00:03:03.849
Amb el sol amagant-se darrere les muntanyes, sabíem que ens
37
00:03:03.909 --> 00:03:09.030
quedava poca llum i hauríem de ser valussos. Però el
38
00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:14.590
magnetisme de la història era massa fort. Després de les
39
00:03:14.659 --> 00:03:18.860
típiques bromes de paus sobre dracs i fades que ens espiaven,
40
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.259
vaig decidir ser valent i entrar més a fons al bosc.
41
00:03:24.669 --> 00:03:28.349
El camí es tornava més abrupte i el sol es
42
00:03:28.409 --> 00:03:33.810
fonia en un tròpic vermellós entre els arbres. El cor
43
00:03:34.030 --> 00:03:41.349
embatagava fort mentre la foscor s'acostava. Finalment, després d'una petita
44
00:03:41.389 --> 00:03:46.090
progressió cap amunt, els meus peus es van aturar davant
45
00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:54.159
d'alguna cosa inesperada. D'acord, Jordi, i ara què? Va dir Pau.
46
00:03:54.650 --> 00:04:00.129
que estava ja considerant girar cua. La meva mirada va
47
00:04:00.189 --> 00:04:04.469
caure sobre una gran porta de pedra, coberta de molsa
48
00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:11.520
i fulles. No m'ho podia creure. Potser era la cambra
49
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.879
de la llegenda. Amb les mans tremoloses, vaig palpar la
50
00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:22.910
superfície freda fins trobar una petita escletxa. Amb força i
51
00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:28.029
un poc de sort, La pedra va cedir lleugerament, obrint-se
52
00:04:28.149 --> 00:04:36.129
amb un grinyol misteriós. Dins, l'aire estava carregat d'història. Què
53
00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:42.439
hi ha? Va preguntar Marta en veu baixa, mantenint-se enrere.
54
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.360
Hi havia poca cosa aparent a l'interior, un petit gravat
55
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:54.920
en pedra que semblava simbolitzar una antiga llegenda catalana. Potser
56
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.019
no hi havia cap joia ni riqueses, però aquest símbol
57
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:05.120
significava més del que semblava a primera vista. Era tangible
58
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.100
prova de la llegenda. En sortir del bosc, foscs però motivats,
59
00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:17.149
vaig sentir una nova confiança en els passos. No només
60
00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:21.170
havia trobat una part de la història, sinó que també
61
00:05:21.189 --> 00:05:27.050
havia desafiat les meves pors. La llegenda i la realitat
62
00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:29.089
eren part del mateix.
63
00:05:29.069 --> 00:05:30.769
I això ho duia a dins.
64
00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:35.470
Amb el fred de la nit acariciant les nostres cares
65
00:05:35.670 --> 00:05:39.600
i la promesa de castanyes i panellets per davant, vaig
66
00:05:39.649 --> 00:05:43.519
tornar a Montserrat amb un nou fervor per les meravelles
67
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:49.939
i misteris del meu país natal. La llegenda, encara que modesta,
68
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.379
havia cobrat vida i jo amb ella.
69
00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:57.740
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
70
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.439
may have missed.
71
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.990
The leaves crunched under our footsteps as we ventured into
72
00:06:05.029 --> 00:06:24.459
the depths of the Montserrat forests. I aquella tardor els
73
00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:30.129
arbres es vestien amb colors daurats i vermells, ballant el
74
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:32.050
ritme del vent suau.
75
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:37.089
The mountain resonated with ancient legends, and that autumn the
76
00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:40.240
trees dressed in golden and red colors, dancing to the
77
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.439
rhythm of the gentle wind.
78
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:48.600
La castanyada s'apropava, i el bosc tenia un aire màgic
79
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:49.819
i misteriós.
80
00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:55.100
La Castañeda was approaching, and the forest had a magical
81
00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:56.199
and mysterious air.
82
00:06:57.459 --> 00:07:02.550
Jordi,¿ estás seguro que això es una buena idea?
83
00:07:04.389 --> 00:07:06.009
Jordi, are you sure this is a good idea?
84
00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:13.850
Va preguntar Marta mentre partava una branca baixa del seu camí.
85
00:07:15.649 --> 00:07:17.709
Marta asked as she pushed a low branch out of
86
00:07:17.769 --> 00:07:18.089
her way.
87
00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:24.829
Pau estava darrere seu. amb ulls vigilant les ombres que
88
00:07:24.850 --> 00:07:27.009
es movien entre els arbres.
89
00:07:28.829 --> 00:07:32.110
Pau was behind her, eyes watching the shadows moving among
90
00:07:32.129 --> 00:07:32.569
the trees.
91
00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:38.709
Sé que sembla una bogeria, però he de veure-ho amb
92
00:07:38.750 --> 00:07:45.310
els meus ulls, vaig respondre mirant endavant, on se'ls saben
93
00:07:45.370 --> 00:07:48.410
les muntanyes com gegants adormits.
94
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.279
I know it sounds crazy, but I need to see
95
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.639
it with my own eyes, I replied, looking ahead, where
96
00:07:55.660 --> 00:07:57.500
the mountains rose like sleeping giants.
97
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:04.810
Sempre m'havia tret el misteri i la possibilitat de descobrir
98
00:08:04.889 --> 00:08:06.430
allò desconegut.
99
00:08:08.290 --> 00:08:11.230
I had always been drawn to mystery and the possibility
100
00:08:11.269 --> 00:08:12.449
of discovering the unknown.
101
00:08:12.470 --> 00:08:19.430
La llegenda de la cambra amagada sota Montserrat Amb el
102
00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:23.399
seu antic artefacte, em captivava.
103
00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:28.160
The legend of the hidden chamber beneath Montserrat, with its
104
00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:30.060
ancient artifact, captivated me.
105
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:36.740
Amb el sol amagant-se darrere les muntanyes, sabíem que ens
106
00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:41.100
quedava poca llum i hauríem de ser veloços.
107
00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:45.470
With the sun setting behind the mountains, we knew we
108
00:08:45.509 --> 00:08:47.730
had little light left and would need to be quick.
109
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.139
But the magnetism of the story was too strong. After
110
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:57.279
the typical jokes from Pau about dragons and fairies spying on.
111
00:08:55.500 --> 00:09:19.419
Us, I decided to be brave and delve deeper into
112
00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:20.000
the forest.
113
00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:24.259
The path became more rugged, and the sun melted into
114
00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:29.470
a reddish glow among the trees. My heart pounded as
115
00:09:29.529 --> 00:09:53.389
the darkness approached. Finalment, després d'una petita progressió cap amunt,
116
00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:59.909
els meus peus es van aturar davant d'alguna cosa inesperada.
117
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.240
Finally, after a small climb upward, my feet stopped before
118
00:10:05.299 --> 00:10:06.299
something unexpected.
119
00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:11.019
D'acord, Jordi, i ara què?
120
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.799
OK, Jordi, what now?
121
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:19.879
Va dir Pau que estava ja considerant girar cua.
122
00:10:21.730 --> 00:10:24.009
Pau said, already considering turning back.
123
00:10:25.250 --> 00:10:29.929
La meva mirada va caure sobre una gran porta de
124
00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:33.740
pedra coberta de molsa i fulles.
125
00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:38.139
My gaze fell on a large stone door covered in
126
00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:38.940
moss and leaves.
127
00:10:40.259 --> 00:10:42.269
No m'ho podia creure.
128
00:10:44.110 --> 00:10:44.879
I couldn't believe it.
129
00:10:45.950 --> 00:10:49.450
Potser era la cambra de la llegenda.
130
00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:52.990
Maybe it was the chamber from the legend.
131
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:59.960
With trembling hands, I felt the cold surface until I
132
00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:02.539
found a small crack.
133
00:11:21.850 --> 00:11:24.090
With strength and a bit of luck, the stone gave
134
00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:26.870
way slightly, opening with a mysterious creak.
135
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.519
Dins, l'aire estava carregat d'historia.
136
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.899
Inside, the air was thick with history.
137
00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.940
Què hi ha?
138
00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:40.200
What is it?
139
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:47.070
Va preguntar Marta en veu baixa, mantenint-se enrere.
140
00:11:48.909 --> 00:11:50.750
Asked Marta in a low voice, staying back.
141
00:11:51.950 --> 00:11:57.870
Hi havia poca cosa aparent a l'interior, un petit gravat
142
00:11:57.990 --> 00:12:04.009
en pedra que semblava simbolitzar una antiga llegenda catalana.
143
00:12:05.789 --> 00:12:08.740
Inside there was little to see, just a small stone
144
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.720
carving that seemed to symbolize an ancient Catalan legend.
145
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:18.139
Potser no hi havia cap joia ni riqueses. Però aquest
146
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.399
símbol significava més del que semblava a primera vista.
147
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:23.259
Era tangible prova de la llegenda.
148
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:51.950
En sortir del bosc, As we left the forest, dark
149
00:12:51.990 --> 00:12:55.269
yet motivated, I felt a newfound confidence in my steps.
150
00:12:56.529 --> 00:13:00.669
Not only had I found part of the story, but
151
00:13:00.690 --> 00:13:14.279
I had also faced my fears. La llegenda i la
152
00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:20.080
realitat eren part del mateix i això ho duia a dins.
153
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.679
The legend and reality were part of the same, and
154
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:25.830
I carried that within me.
155
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:31.169
Amb el fred de la nit acariciant les nostres cares
156
00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:36.549
i la promesa de castanyes i panellets per davant, Vaig
157
00:13:36.610 --> 00:13:41.629
tornar a Montserrat amb un nou fervor per les meravelles
158
00:13:41.750 --> 00:13:44.710
i misteris del meu país natal.
159
00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:49.129
With the night's chill caressing our faces and the promise
160
00:13:49.169 --> 00:13:52.740
of chestnuts and panellets ahead, I returned to Montserrat with
161
00:13:52.789 --> 00:13:55.899
a renewed passion for the wonders and mysteries of my homeland.
162
00:13:57.100 --> 00:14:03.840
La llegenda, encara que modesta, havia cobrat vida i jo
163
00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:04.980
amb ella.
164
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.120
The legend, though modest, had come to life and I
165
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:09.460
with it.
166
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.919
Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
167
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:25.070
