Everybody is eager to find out what the future has in store for him or for
her. Everybody wants to know what he or she will become in a few years.
We all want to know if our dreams will come true and what difficulties we
will have to cope with. But the future depends very much on what we do in
the present.
Toi suntem nerbdtori s aflm ce ne rezerv viitorul. Toi vrem s tim
ce vom deveni n civa ani. Vrem s tim dac visurile nostre se vor
mplini i cu ce dificulti vom avea de-a face. Dar viitorul depinde foarte
mult de ceea ce facem n prezent.

Time Will Tell

Timpul va decide

Jim Patrick: This is a good topic to talk about: future. As far as I am

concerned, I am a dreamer. (Iat o tem bun de discuie. In ceea ce m
privete, sunt un vistor.)
Minnie Jones: And you probably know what they say: Happy are those
who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come

true. (i tii probabil ce se spune: Fericii sunt cei care viseaz visuri i
sunt gata s plteasc preul pentru a le face s se mplineasc. )
Jim Patrick: Well, this can be a problem. I am not sure if I am ready to pay
the price of all my dreams. I think some of them are really impossible. (Ei
bine, asta poate fi o problem. Nu sunt aa de sigur dac sunt gata s
pltesc preul viselor mele. Cred c unele dintre ele sunt cu adevrat
imposibile.)
Minnie Jones: You may know French people say Impossible does not
exist. (Poate tii c francezii spun c Nimic nu este imposibil.)
Jim Patrick: I am not French at all. I am just an Englishman and I have only
English dreams. Dont laugh at me, my dear Minnie. (Dar eu nu sunt
francez. Sunt doar un englez i am visuri englezeti. Nu rde de mine,
draga mea Minnie.)
Minnie Jones: Im not laughing at you at all. But you made me very curious:
what impossible dreams do you have? (Nu rd de tine deloc. Dar m-ai fcut
foarte curioas: ce visuri imposibile ai?)
Jim Patrick: I have at least one and it is a sort of a secret. Only Paula
knows about it. And she has promised not to laugh at me. (Am cel puin
unul i est eun fel de secret. Doar Paula tie despre el. i a promis s nu
rd de mine.)
Minnie Jones: I can keep a secret. And I make a promise to you: I wont
laugh at you! What is it? (Pot pstra un secret. i i fac o promisiune: n-o
s rd de tine. Care este secretul tu?)
Jim Patrick: I always wanted to be an actor. I think I have the skills for it.
But talking about the price, I think I was never prepared to pay the price of
fame. (ntotdeauna mi-am dorit s fiu actor. Cred c am talentul necesar.
Dar vorbind despre pre, nu cred c am fost vreodat pregtit s pltesc
preul celebritii.)
Minnie Jones: I think this is not a foolish dream but Im not sure if it is fit
for you. (Nu cred c este un vis prostesc, dar nu sunt sigur c este unul
potrivit ie.)
Jim Patrick: You may be right. Anyway, Im not too proud of my secret
dream. (Probabil c ai dreptate. i oricum nu sunt prea mndru de visul
meu secret.)
Minnie Jones: Dont worry! Your secret is safe with me. But you must know
it is never too late for dreams to come true. (Nu te ngijora! Secretul tu
este n siguran cu mine. Dar trebuie s tii c niciodat nu este prea
trziu ca visurile s se transforme n realitate.)
Jim Patrick: You must be joking. Youve promised not to laugh at
me(Glumeti probabil. i ai promis s nu rzi de mine...)
Minnie Jones: A promise is a promise. Who is laughing? (O promisiune
este o promisiune. Cine rde?)
