Story Transcript:

Ca: L'aire condicionat bufava fort dins l'oficina.
En: The air conditioning blew strongly inside the office.

Ca: Els empleats es passejaven apressadament entre els escriptoris brillants.
En: Employees hurriedly walked between the shiny desks.

Ca: Era un dia d'estiu calorós, però a dins, tot semblava més fresc i animat.
En: It was a hot summer day, but inside, everything seemed cooler and more lively.

Ca: En Jordi, amb el coll de la camisa ben ajustat, somiava en ascendir a la jerarquia de l'empresa.
En: Jordi, with his shirt collar neatly buttoned, dreamed of climbing the corporate ladder.

Ca: No obstant això, se sentia insegur sobre la seva imatge.
En: However, he felt insecure about his image.

Ca: Al seu costat, la Mireia, una companya segura d'ella mateixa, mirava al seu voltant amb estil.
En: Next to him, Mireia, a confident colleague, looked around with style.

Ca: Tenia una passió per la moda i sabia exactament com projectar una imatge professional.
En: She had a passion for fashion and knew exactly how to project a professional image.

Ca: "Jordi," va dir animada, "has pensat a comprar un vestit nou?"
En: "Jordi," she said cheerfully, "have you thought about buying a new suit?"

Ca: Jordi sospirà, conscient dels comentaris que havia rebut sobre la seva aparença senzilla.
En: Jordi sighed, aware of the comments he had received about his plain appearance.

Ca: No sabia com vestir-se correctament per al treball.
En: He didn’t know how to dress properly for work.

Ca: Encara pitjor, la seva situació econòmica li preocupava.
En: Even worse, his financial situation worried him.

Ca: Els vestits de qualitat no eren barats.
En: Quality suits were not cheap.

Ca: La Laia, la seva cap, era estricta.
En: Laia, his boss, was strict.

Ca: Valorava molt la professionalitat i l'aparença d'un bon treballador.
En: She greatly valued professionalism and a good worker's appearance.

Ca: Jordi sabia que impressionar-la era clau per obtenir un ascens.
En: Jordi knew that impressing her was key to getting a promotion.

Ca: Però com podia estar a l'altura?
En: But how could he measure up?

Ca: Se sentia indecís.
En: He felt indecisive.

Ca: Podia ignorar la seva aparença, intentar triar un vestit per si mateix, o demanar ajuda.
En: He could ignore his appearance, try to pick a suit by himself, or ask for help.

Ca: L'orgull l'aturava.
En: Pride held him back.

Ca: No obstant això, va decidir que el més intel·ligent seria acceptar l'ajuda de la Mireia.
En: However, he decided that the smartest thing would be to accept Mireia’s help.

Ca: "D'acord, Mireia," va respondre finalment, "necessito el teu consell."
En: "Alright, Mireia," he finally responded, "I need your advice."

Ca: El dia següent, en Jordi i la Mireia van anar de compres.
En: The next day, Jordi and Mireia went shopping.

Ca: Van anar a botigues amb ofertes, on la Mireia va saber trobar vestits elegants i assequibles.
En: They visited stores with sales, where Mireia knew how to find stylish and affordable suits.

Ca: Va ser una experiència transformadora.
En: It was a transformative experience.

Ca: La Mireia va escollir una americana blava i uns pantalons a joc amb una camisa clara.
En: Mireia picked out a blue blazer and matching pants with a light shirt.

Ca: "Et queda perfecte," va dir amb un somriure de satisfacció.
En: "It looks perfect on you," she said with a satisfied smile.

Ca: Jordi va adonar-se que buscat ajuda havia estat la millor decisió.
En: Jordi realized that seeking help had been the best decision.

Ca: La seva confiança va començar a créixer a mesura que es mirava al mirall.
En: His confidence began to grow as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Ca: L'endemà, va entrar a l'oficina amb un aire renovat.
En: The following day, he entered the office with a renewed air.

Ca: El vestit li sentava de meravella i es notava que caminava amb més seguretat.
En: The suit fit him marvelously and it was apparent that he walked with more confidence.

Ca: Els seus companys el van felicitar i, el més important, va atrapar l'atenció de la Laia.
En: His colleagues congratulated him and, most importantly, he caught Laia's attention.

Ca: Ella va assentir amb aprovació, una guspira de satisfacció als ulls.
En: She nodded in approval, a spark of satisfaction in her eyes.

Ca: En Jordi va entendre que, a vegades, és necessari demanar ajuda i escoltar els altres.
En: Jordi understood that sometimes it's necessary to ask for help and listen to others.

Ca: Aquell nou aspecte no només li havia donat confiança, sinó que també l'havia apropat un pas més cap al seu somni.
En: That new look had not only given him confidence but also brought him one step closer to his dream.

Ca: L'amistat amb la Mireia havia estat clau.
En: The friendship with Mireia had been key.

Ca: Ara, amb el seu nou vestit, es disposava a conquerir el món corporatiu.
En: Now, with his new suit, he was ready to conquer the corporate world.
