Spanish-English Parallel Text, La sorpresa, Capítulo 2

El aniversario

  1. Hoy es 15 de mayo. El aniversario de Javier y Pilar.
  2. Pilar le quiere dar una sorpresa: irá a casa de Javier a Barcelona para celebrar juntos este día tan especial.
  3. Sabe que Javier trabaja hasta las 17:00h, así que va a la estación de tren de Tarragona para coger el tren de las 16:18h. ¡Los horarios son perfectos!
  4. En la taquilla de la estación compra el billete. Es una de las líneas de tren más utilizadas de Cataluña y la estación está llena de gente. El tren de Pilar sale del andén número 4. Por desgracia, el tren sale con diez minutos de retraso, pero Pilar llega a Barcelona a las 17:00h. ¡Justo a tiempo!
  5. Pilar llega a casa de Javier a las 17:30h. “Seguramente Javier estará en casa” piensa Pilar. Toca el timbre y espera, pero nadie abre la puerta.
  6. Javier no está en casa.

The Anniversary

  1. Today is May 15th. The anniversary of Pilar and Javier’s engagement.
  2. Pilar wants to give Javier a surprise: she is going to go to Javier’s place in Barcelona so they can celebrate this special day together.
  3. She knows Javier works until 5 o’clock, so she goes to the train station in Tarragona to catch the 4.18pm train. The train times are perfect!
  4. At the ticket office in the station she buys her ticket. It is one of the busiest train lines in Catalonia and the station is very crowded. Pilar’s train leaves from platform 4. Unfortunately the train leaves ten minutes late, but Pilar arrives in Barcelona at 5 o’clock. Just in time!
  5. Pilar arrives at Javier’s house at 5.30. “Javier is sure to be home,” thinks Pilar. She rings the bell and waits, but no one opens the door.
  6. Javier is not at home.
