En: Boys and girls ran up and down, and families gathered in front of the large glass tanks to admire the mysterious sea creatures.

En: Outside, the streets were decorated with red roses and books, traditional elements of the Catalan celebration.

Ca: Dins l'aquari, Oriol, un biòleg marí apassionat per la seva feina, estava concentrat sobre el seu ordinador portàtil al petit despatx.
En: Inside the aquarium, Oriol, a marine biologist passionate about his work, was focused on his laptop in the small office.

Ca: La seva preocupació era evident.
En: His concern was evident.

Ca: Recentment, s'havia descobert una malaltia estranya relacionada amb una medusa peculiar que estava exposada al públic.

Ca: Oriol va somriure lleument, però la seva ment estava en altres llocs.
En: Oriol smiled slightly, but his mind was elsewhere.

Ca: "Sí... però hi ha alguna cosa preocupant que estem intentant entendre," va confessar sense gaire detalls.

Ca: Mariona va notar la tensió en les paraules d'Oriol i el va animar amb un gest.

Ca: "He après que la passió i la responsabilitat poden anar de la mà."
En: "I've learned that passion and responsibility can go hand in hand."

Ca: Amb el suport de Sergi i l'encoratjament de Mariona, Oriol va guanyar confiança en les seves capacitats.
En: With Sergi's support and Mariona's encouragement, Oriol gained confidence in his abilities.
