Balancing Acts: A Tale of Discipline and Creativity in Ljubljana
Ljubljana je poleti vedno polna življenja.
Ljubljana is always full of life in the summer.
Šole so v zadnjem tednu pred poletnimi počitnicami in dijaki so živčni zaradi zaključnih izpitov.
Schools are in the last week before summer vacation, and students are anxious about their final exams.
Senca dreves na šolskem dvorišču je edina zatočišče pred vročino.
The shade of the trees in the schoolyard is the only refuge from the heat.
Blaž sedi v knjižnici, obdan z knjigami.
Blaž sits in the library, surrounded by books.
Trudi se dojeti zapleteno formulo za matematiko.
He struggles to grasp a complicated math formula.
Njegovi starši želijo, da bo najboljši.
His parents want him to be the best.
Misli si: "Moram se vpisati na univerzo."
He thinks, "I must get into university."
Blaž ve, da mora dobiti štipendijo.
Blaž knows that he needs to win a scholarship.
Vsak prosti trenutek preživi med knjigami.
He spends every spare moment with his books.
Nika je drugačna.
Nika is different.
Kljub knjigam, ki jih ima vedno pri sebi, njene misli plavajo drugje.
Despite always carrying books with her, her thoughts wander elsewhere.
Vsak zunanji zvočni dražljaj jo spomni na njeno umetniško delo za lokalno tekmovanje.
Every external sound reminds her of her art project for a local competition.
Šolski hodnik je poln plakatov za izpite, vendar Nika raje razmišlja o barvah in čopičih.
The school hallway is full of posters about exams, but Nika prefers to think about colors and brushes.
Učiteljica iz zgodovine prinese pomembno novico.
The history teacher brings important news.
Blaž in Nika sta dodeljena skupinskemu projektu.
Blaž and Nika have been assigned a group project.
Blaž pogleda mogočno knjigo zgodovine, ampak Nika ugotovi, da bo težko slediti.
Blaž looks at the hefty history book, while Nika realizes it will be hard to keep up.
Ona se smeje: "Zgodovina? Raje bi naslikala bitke!"
She laughs, "History? I'd rather paint the battles!"
Prvi poskus dela skupaj je neuspešen.
Their first attempt at working together is unsuccessful.
Blaž hoče vsa dejstva, medtem ko Nika razmišlja samo o umetnosti.
Blaž wants all the facts, while Nika thinks only about art.
"Pripravi se, Nika," reče Blaž.
"Get ready, Nika," says Blaž.
Nika vzdihne. "Nimam časa. Moram dokončati projekt."
Nika sighs, "I don’t have time. I need to finish my project."
Noč pred izpitom je napeta.
The night before the exam is tense.
Srečata se v parku blizu šole.
They meet in a park near the school.
Blaž noče popustiti, a tudi Nika ne.
Blaž refuses to give in, and neither does Nika.
"Zakaj ne vidiš, kako pomembno je umetnost?" vpraša Nika.
"Why can’t you see how important art is?" asks Nika.
Blaž drži svoje knjige močno.
Blaž holds his books tightly.
"In zakaj ne vidiš, kako pomembna je izobrazba?" odgovori on.
"And why can’t you see how important education is?" he replies.
Argument privede do spoznanja.
The argument leads to a realization.
Oba morata popustiti.
Both must compromise.
Nika se odloči vzeti nekaj časa za učenje. Blaž ji pomaga.
Nika decides to take some time for studying, with Blaž’s help.
V nitih matematike najdejo skupno točko – ravnovesje med disciplino in ustvarjalnostjo.
In the threads of mathematics, they find common ground – a balance between discipline and creativity.
Delajo skupaj v knjižnici, dokler ne pade noč.
They work together in the library until night falls.
Združijo moči: Blaž razloži zgodovino s pomočjo slik, Nika nariše vizualne pripomočke za matematiko.
They combine their strengths: Blaž explains history using images, and Nika draws visual aids for math.
Njuno delo vodi do uspeha.
Their collaboration leads to success.
Naslednji dan ob obeh izpitih, stres občutita manj.
The next day, they feel less stress during both exams.
Blaž doseže vrhunsko oceno in dobi štipendijo.
Blaž scores top marks and earns a scholarship.
Nika opravi izpite s častjo in zmaga na umetniškem tekmovanju.
Nika passes her exams with honors and wins the art competition.
Spoznata, da vsak ima svoje poti in cilje.
They realize that everyone has their own paths and goals.
Blaž nauči vrednosti prilagodljivosti.
Blaž learns the value of flexibility.
Nika ugotovi, da je disciplina prav tako pomembna kot ustvarjalnost.
Nika discovers that discipline is just as important as creativity.
Po izpitih se srečata v parku.
After the exams, they meet in the park.
"Naslednje leto?" vpraša Blaž.
"Next year?" asks Blaž.
"Ravno tako," odgovori Nika z nasmehom.
"Just the same," replies Nika with a smile.
Združena po izkušnjah, boljša zaradi njih.
United by experience, better for it.
