Viņa enerģiski ieelpoja svaigu gaisu, acis žilbinoši mirdzot.En: Beside him stood Ilze, his colleague, energetically inhaling the fresh air with her eyes dazzlingly bright.Lv: "Māri, atslēdzies no darba," viņa sacīja, uzstinot viņu nomest telefonu automašīnā.En: "Māris, disconnect from work," she said, urging him to leave his phone in the car.Lv: Māris ieelpoja dziļāk, negribīgi paklausot.En: Māris took a deeper breath, reluctantly complying.Lv: "Es nespēju pārtraukt domāt par projektu," viņš teica.En: "I can't stop thinking about the project," he admitted.Lv: "Nu, tu vari uz mirkli apstāties?" jautāja Ilze.En: "Can you pause for a moment?"
