pasare de noapte?
Excellent choice! You have chosen a very
attractive subject matter to talk about. I am very
interested in this field. Well, I’m definitely an
early bird, I have no doubt about it.
Excelenta alegere! Ai ales un subiect foarte
atragator, sunt foarte interesat de domeniul
acesta. Ei bine, eu sunt cu siguranta un matinal,
nu am nici o indoiala.
We are also early birds, me and Al, but I am the
earliest. Each morning is a real workout for the
entire day. I spend my time preparing freshly
squeezed juice for breakfast and watering my
plants.
Si noi suntem matinali, eu si Al, dar eu sunt cea
mai matinala. Fiecare dimineata este un adevarat
antrenament pentru ziua care incepe. Petrec timp

dejun si udandu-mi plantele.

able to understand her.
Te inteleg perfect. Din nefericire, sotia mea este
exact opusul meu. Ritualul matinal al Paulei

An early bird will never undersand a late owl.

Firesc, petrec mai putin timp purtand discutii
serioase si au mai putine activitati comune.
I always wake up before the alarm goes off.
Sometimes I’m in the kitchen, already preparing

Eu ma trezesc intotdeauna inainte sa sune
ceasul. Uneori sunt deja in bucatarie si pregatesc
micul dejun iar Al este in fotoliul lui preferat, si
citeste ziarul de dimineata.
It also happens to me. On the contrary, when the
alarm goes off, Paula rolls over in bed, moans
and presses the off button. We are an odd
couple, aren’t we?
Si mie mi se intampla. Dimpotriva, dupa ce suna
ceasula, Paula se rasuceste in pat, geme si apasa
butonul de alarma. Suntem un cuplu ciudat, nu?
No, you aren’t. But you have to be more careful
with each other and try to be patient. You
cannot change your habits over night.
Nu, nu sunteti. Dar trebuie sa fiti mai atenti unul
cu celalalt si mai rabdatori. Nu va puteti
schimba obiceiurile peste noapte.
My question is do I have to become a night owl
or does Paula have to become an early bird?
Intrebarea mea este trebuie sa ajung eu pasare
de noapte sau Paula trebuie sa ajunga matinala.
You must be as you are now, only more patient
and more careful.
Trebuie sa fiti asa cum sunteti acum, doar mai
rabdatori si mai atenti.

real talent.
