Ca: “Aquest marisc és d’avui mateix, acabat de pescar,” digué el venedor.
En: “This seafood is from today, just caught,” said the vendor.

En: Montserrat smiled and took a few oysters.

Ca: “I aquest blau sembla deliciós,” afegí Pere, indicant una roda de formatge blava i forta.
En: “And this blue one looks delicious,” added Pere, indicating a strong, blue cheese wheel.
