Ca: "Júlia, vine!", va dir Pere amb un somriure entremaliat.

Ca: "Hem de celebrar Sant Jordi! Només una estona."
En: "We have to celebrate Sant Jordi! Just for a while."

Ca: Júlia dubtà.
En: Júlia hesitated.

Ca: El crit dels llibres la cridaven, però l'ambient al seu voltant semblava irresistible.
En: The call of the books beckoned her, but the atmosphere around her seemed irresistible.

Ca: Finalment, amb un sospir, mirà a Pere.
En: Finally, with a sigh, she looked at Pere.

Ca: "No puc," va respondre, amb un deix de pena.
En: "I can't," she replied, with a hint of regret.

Ca: "Tinc massa feina."
En: "I have too much work."

Ca: "Vinga, serà només una hora.
En: "Come on, it will be just an hour.

Ca: Una rosa i un llibre, i tornem." intentà convèncer-la, col·locant davant seu una rosa vermella.
En: A rose and a book, and then we come back," he tried to persuade her, placing a red rose in front of her.

Ca: Júlia reflexionà.
En: Júlia reflected.

Ca: Potser una pausa la podria ajudar.
En: Perhaps a break could help her.

Ca: Va prendre la rosa i somrigué.
En: She took the rose and smiled.

Ca: D'acord", va dir amb certa reticència, "però només una hora."
En: "Okay," she said with some reluctance, "but just for an hour."

Ca: En sortir de l’habitació, l'aroma fresc de les roses la va reanimar.

Ca: Al contrari, la feien sentir més viva i equilibrada.
En: On the contrary, they made her feel more alive and balanced.

En: And so, with new energy, she threw herself into her studies, knowing that the balance between work and leisure was the secret to success and happiness.
