Story Transcript:
Sk: Bratislava v lete žila technológiou.
En: Bratislava in the summer was alive with technology.
Sk: Vysoké steny Bratislavského inovačného centra odrážali slnko tak, že celá budova žiarila ako klenot.
En: The high walls of the Bratislavské inovačné centrum reflected the sun in such a way that the entire building shone like a jewel.
Sk: Martina a Šimon stáli pred vchodom tejto modernej svätyne inovácií, kde sa tento rok konala veľká technologická prezentácia.
En: Martina and Šimon stood in front of the entrance to this modern shrine of innovation, where this year's major technology presentation was being held.
Sk: Vo vnútri prúdili davy inžinierov, podnikateľov a nadšencov techniky.
En: Inside, crowds of engineers, entrepreneurs, and tech enthusiasts flowed.
Sk: Martina a Šimon sa znervózňovali čím ďalej, tým viac.
En: Martina and Šimon were becoming more and more nervous.
Sk: Mali predstaviť najnovší vynález svojho otca, ktorý zrazu ochorel.
En: They had to present their father's latest invention, as he suddenly fell ill.
Sk: Martina, talentovaná inžinierka, cítila veľkú zodpovednosť.
En: Martina, a talented engineer, felt a great responsibility.
Sk: Chcela, aby bol ich otec na ňu hrdý.
En: She wanted her father to be proud of her.
Sk: Šimon, pragmatický brat, síce nedôveroval v spontánne riešenia, ale túžil pomôcť svojej sestre.
En: Šimon, the pragmatic brother, while not trusting spontaneous solutions, was eager to help his sister.
Sk: Vošli dnu a uprel sa na nich pohľad zvedavého davu.
En: They entered, and the curious crowd's gaze fixed on them.
Sk: Ich miesto bolo pripravené, ale keď vybalili prototyp, nastali problémy.
En: Their place was prepared, but when they unpacked the prototype, problems arose.
Sk: Šimon sa zamračil.
En: Šimon frowned.
Sk: "Máme problém, Martina," povedal ticho, no nevzdal sa.
En: "We have a problem, Martina," he said quietly, but he didn't give up.
Sk: Martina rýchlo premýšľala.
En: Martina quickly thought.
Sk: Vedela, že musia improvizovať.
En: She knew they had to improvise.
Sk: "Šimon, začni prezentovať. Ja sa pokúsim opraviť prototyp," navrhla Martina.
En: "Šimon, start presenting. I'll try to fix the prototype," Martina suggested.
Sk: Šimon prikývol a odhodlane vystúpil na pódium.
En: Šimon nodded and resolutely stepped onto the stage.
Sk: Hovoril o ich otcovi, jeho vášni pre technológiu a vízii pre budúcnosť.
En: He spoke about their father, his passion for technology, and his vision for the future.
Sk: Martina zatiaľ pracovala v zákulisí.
En: Meanwhile, Martina was working backstage.
Sk: Hľadala spôsob, ako vyriešiť technický problém.
En: She was looking for a way to solve the technical problem.
Sk: Srdce jej búšilo z napätia.
En: Her heart was pounding with tension.
Sk: Vedela, že ich otec by bol nadšený z tejto príležitosti, keby mohol byť tu.
En: She knew that their father would have been thrilled by this opportunity if he could be there.
Sk: Medzitým Šimon žiarivo hovoril o celoživotnej práci ich otca a pritiahol pozornosť publika.
En: In the meantime, Šimon was vividly talking about their father's lifelong work and had captured the audience's attention.
Sk: Martina v tom momente objavila, kde bola chyba.
En: At that moment, Martina discovered where the error was.
Sk: So zrýchleným dychom dokončila opravu.
En: With quickened breath, she completed the repair.
Sk: Na pódium prišla presne včas.
En: She arrived on stage just in time.
Sk: "Dámy a páni, dovoľte mi predstaviť," začala a zapla prototyp.
En: "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce," she started and turned on the prototype.
Sk: Fungovalo to!
En: It worked!
Sk: Na tvárach divákov sa objavili úsmevy.
En: Smiles appeared on the faces of the audience.
Sk: Predviedli obdivuhodný vynález, a ich úspech neostal bez povšimnutia.
En: They demonstrated an admirable invention, and their success did not go unnoticed.
Sk: Investori boli nadšení.
En: Investors were thrilled.
Sk: Po prezentácii stáli súrodenci bok po boku a sledovali, ako k nim prichádzali zástupcovia firiem.
En: After the presentation, the siblings stood side by side watching as representatives of companies approached them.
Sk: Ten pocit úspechu bol sladký.
En: The feeling of success was sweet.
Sk: Martina nadobudla nový pocit sebavedomia ako inžinierka, Šimon našiel nádej a vieru v kreativitu.
En: Martina gained a new sense of confidence as an engineer, and Šimon found hope and belief in creativity.
Sk: Ich otec by bol na nich hrdý.
En: Their father would have been proud of them.
Sk: Martina a Šimon vedeli, že nielenže zachránili svojho otca projekt, ale aj posunuli jeho sen do budúcnosti.
En: Martina and Šimon knew that not only had they saved their father's project, but they had also advanced his dream into the future.
Sk: A keď sa neskôr vrátili domov, zistili, že ich otec, aj keď stále v nemocnici, získa pokoj, keď sa dozvie o ich úspechu.
En: And when they later returned home, they found out that their father, even still in the hospital, would find peace when he learned of their success.
Sk: Bratislava pri západe slnka bola tichá, ale inšpirujúca.
En: Bratislava at sunset was quiet but inspiring.
Sk: Sľubovali si, že aj keď im život postaví akékoľvek prekážky do cesty, budú pripravení ich prekonať.
En: They promised each other that even if life threw any obstacles in their way, they would be ready to overcome them.
