Story Transcript:

Ro: Într-o dimineață răcoroasă de toamnă, Andrei stătea pe marginea unui traseu de alergat, în mijlocul taberei de antrenament.
En: On a cool autumn morning, Andrei sat on the edge of a running track, in the middle of the training camp.

Ro: Frunzele roșii și aurii zburau în vântul blând, iar cerul era senin, de un albastru intens.
En: Red and golden leaves flew in the gentle wind, and the sky was clear, a deep blue.

Ro: Tabăra era un loc liniștit, dar Andrei simțea agitația dinlăuntrul său.
En: The camp was a quiet place, but Andrei felt a stir within himself.

Ro: Se simțea sub presiune.
En: He felt under pressure.

Ro: Era finalul de vară iar Andrei își dorea cu ardoare să lase o impresie bună.
En: It was the end of summer, and Andrei was eager to make a good impression.

Ro: Catalina, antrenoarea sa, a trecut pe lângă el.
En: Catalina, his coach, passed by him.

Ro: "Andrei, ești gata de cursa finală?
En: "Andrei, are you ready for the final race?"

Ro: " a întrebat ea, zâmbind încurajator.
En: she asked, smiling encouragingly.

Ro: Andrei a dat din cap, deși îndoiala îi umbrea privirea.
En: Andrei nodded, although doubt clouded his gaze.

Ro: Gândurile sale erau tulburate de accidentările recente.
En: His thoughts were troubled by recent injuries.

Ro: Totuși, voia să demonstreze că este capabil.
En: Still, he wanted to prove he was capable.

Ro: Pe traseu, Andrei s-a concentrat.
En: On the track, Andrei focused.

Ro: Simțea cum fiecare pas îl apropia de linia de start.
En: He felt each step bring him closer to the starting line.

Ro: Inima îi bătea puternic în piept.
En: His heart pounded in his chest.

Ro: Când și-a auzit numele, a zâmbit timid către colegi și s-a pregătit.
En: When he heard his name, he smiled shyly at his colleagues and got ready.

Ro: Cu tot ce era în el, a pornit să alerge.
En: With everything in him, he started running.

Ro: Vântul îi zgâria fața, iar frigul îi ascuțea simțurile.
En: The wind scratched his face, and the cold sharpened his senses.

Ro: Alerga cu toate puterile.
En: He ran with all his might.

Ro: Dar în curând, durerea i-a cuprins glezna, ca un reminder violent al accidentării sale.
En: But soon, pain seized his ankle, a violent reminder of his injury.

Ro: Gândurile negre îl copleșeau: "Ar trebui să mă opresc.
En: Dark thoughts overwhelmed him: "Should I stop?

Ro: Ce se întâmplă dacă mă rănesc serios?
En: What if I get seriously hurt?"

Ro: "Cu toate acestea, vocea interioară a lui Andrei a devenit mai puternică.
En: Nevertheless, Andrei's inner voice grew stronger.

Ro: "Până la capăt!
En: "To the finish!

Ro: ", și-a spus el hotărât.
En: ", he told himself decisively.

Ro: Ochii săi erau fixați pe linia de sosire, iar fiecare pas devenea tot mai dureros.
En: His eyes were fixed on the finish line, and each step became more painful.

Ro: Într-un efort final, Andrei a strâns din dinți și a trecut linia de sosire.
En: In a final effort, Andrei gritted his teeth and crossed the finish line.

Ro: Imediat a căzut la pământ epuizat.
En: He immediately collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Ro: Aerul rece îi umplea plămânii, iar durerea îi învăluia piciorul.
En: The cold air filled his lungs, and pain enveloped his leg.

Ro: Catalina și colegii săi au venit repede la el, dar Andrei avea un zâmbet slab pe față.
En: Catalina and his colleagues quickly came to him, but Andrei had a faint smile on his face.

Ro: În acele clipe de epuizare, Andrei a realizat ceva important.
En: In those moments of exhaustion, Andrei realized something important.

Ro: Poate nu a reușit cel mai bun timp, dar a terminat cursa.
En: Maybe he didn't achieve the best time, but he finished the race.

Ro: Și mai important, a înțeles valoarea sănătății și a acceptării de sine.
En: More importantly, he understood the value of health and self-acceptance.

Ro: Nu se mai simțea nevoit să dovedească nimănui nimic.
En: He no longer felt the need to prove anything to anyone.

Ro: Era de ajuns cum era.
En: He was enough as he was.

Ro: Cu ajutorul colegilor săi, Andrei s-a ridicat încet.
En: With the help of his colleagues, Andrei slowly got up.

Ro: Era obosit, dar mulțumit.
En: He was tired but satisfied.

Ro: Știa că, din acel moment, va avea grijă de el înainte de toate.
En: He knew that, from that moment on, he would take care of himself above all else.

Ro: Și cea mai importantă realizare era că, la final de zi, propria lui valoare nu depindea de o cursă sau de așteptările altora.
En: And the most important realization was that, at the end of the day, his own worth didn't depend on a race or others' expectations.

Ro: Aceasta se afla în inima lui, mereu prezentă.
En: It was in his heart, always present.
