Starting point is 00:02:17 time, we're going to hear the next the next the question.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Perfect. Well, let to him. Alexander, I've been Maria.
Starting point is 00:02:31 He has said that he has been he has explained what we have to do you
Starting point is 00:02:36 know what I'm a lot of it. It's very important that we're
Starting point is 00:02:41 we've encountered in a treasure because even that
Starting point is 00:02:45 that's that pertens to the patrims that the
Starting point is 00:02:50 professor says that we're we're we're we should
Starting point is 00:02:52 have done we're done we're done in a lio for having it
Starting point is 00:02:58 in the theory yes, but for we're we're in the case,
Starting point is 00:03:04 we're we're we're we're we're in the and that it's
Starting point is 00:03:08 it's it's it's it. Men's well, and who we
Starting point is 00:03:14 we're to call to the policeia? Yes, we have to
Starting point is 00:03:18 put us in contact with the police or the guardia civil they're
Starting point is 00:03:22 they're they're they're they're they're they're they'll be able to contact with the government ishosses.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And they're going to give a recompense? Well, no, I know. The professor says that if the joys are valiosas and they're cataloging as
Starting point is 00:03:38 as a patrimonio historical, I can't get to give the 50% of the value total, and,
Starting point is 00:03:45 we'll be famous, we'll be in the periodical. You're a great not news.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Alejandro, I've been I'm doing whiltas to that that you know. Ah,
Starting point is 00:03:56 yeah? If I do money, I can pay me the doctorate and
Starting point is 00:04:01 I'm need to think a thing. I'm thinking in
Starting point is 00:04:05 doing a biotechnology algal. I have a hypothesis.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Could be that the might be that were in the coiff
Starting point is 00:04:14 and for that's in so good conditions. I
Starting point is 00:04:19 don't I'm sure of what kind of is a
Starting point is 00:04:22 a species a specific a little-of-connocida. Obviously, it's a story infantil, but could be able to investigate in this direction. I'm a case of his parents. We'll make a lot of the baol and let the joyses, and we'll callers a policeia.
Starting point is 00:04:49 You think that some day our treasured in some museum? Very well. Me encanado. Okay, so now what happens, of course, is we have a listen to the text or an explanation of the text in English to help our listeners understand.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Okay, so in this dialogue, we join Rory and Alejandro as they discuss the latest developments following their discovery of the sunken treasure. Rory starts by explaining to Alejandro that he's spoken to Maria. She has spoken to her professor and explained to him what they must do.
Starting point is 00:05:26 it appears that they need to inform the Spanish government that they've found the treasure because even though it's from a Scottish source it forms part of the historical Spanish heritage it's quite a tricky thing to translate the patrimonio historic no yes yes yes in fact they shouldn't have removed the barrel from the water
Starting point is 00:05:47 because it could have been damaged Alejandro is worried that they could end up in trouble because they brought the barrel to the surface we can't metern us in a lio for having it's a great phrase in a lyeo theoretically they could end up in trouble but fortunately they took photos of the barrel in the cave so they have proof that they found it at the bottom of the sea
Starting point is 00:06:10 and that it remains in the same condition Alejandro is relieved he asks who they should call the police for example Rory explains they could call the police or the Guaria Civil because they have a protocol and they'll explain what they have to do, and they will get in touch with the Scottish government. Alejandro asks the pressing question, are they going to give Rory a reward?
Starting point is 00:06:33 Rory doesn't know. The professor has said that if the jewels are valuable and they decide that they form part of the patrimonio historic, then they could end up giving him 50% of the overall value. And they'll be famous, they'll be in the newspapers. And, they'll be in the newspapers. And, we'll be famous. We'll be in the periodical Alejandro can't believe this
Starting point is 00:06:55 Rory admits that he has been thinking more about what Alejandro suggested about being able to afford his doctorate As we know, in addition to finding the funding, he just needs to identify the topic for his thesis and their adventure has led him to wonder about writing about
Starting point is 00:07:11 algal biotechnology Not your everyday type of vocabulary But he has a theory It could be that the seaweed or the algae which they found at the entrance to the cave was protecting the treasure in a way and this is why it was in such good condition. Rory's not sure about which type of algae it was
Starting point is 00:07:32 and it could even be a little known species. Obviously this is just a theory for now but he could take things further. Alejandro thinks it's a great idea. He comments that sometimes good things just happen like that. However, Rory reminds him that they shouldn't celebrate just yet.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Victoria to this evening when Maria gets out of work they'll go to her
Starting point is 00:07:55 parents' house take more photos of the chests and of the treasure
Starting point is 00:07:58 and they'll call the police he ends by asking Alejandro if he thinks that
Starting point is 00:08:03 one day their treasure will be in a museum very okay
Starting point is 00:08:07 let's go back to something that Rory and Alejandro were
Starting point is 00:08:12 talking about there when they said they'll be in the
Starting point is 00:08:15 newspapers what did they say again we periodical. Salredemos in
Starting point is 00:08:20 the periodical. Now, we know that salremos is a future tense of course. It comes from which verb? Salir. Salir. Let's just conjugate
Starting point is 00:08:28 Salir in the future just so that everyone's aware of that one. So I will go out. You will go out. You will go out. He or she will go out. He or she will go out.
Starting point is 00:08:41 We will go out. You all will go out. And they will go out. Very well. of this. Salre, salred, salred,
Starting point is 00:08:50 salred, salred, salred, perfect. Now, why are we using Salir in
Starting point is 00:08:56 the periodico because we're not going out anywhere? What do you use in English, Mark?
Starting point is 00:09:00 In English we would say we will be in the newspapers or perhaps we'll appear in
Starting point is 00:09:06 the newspapers but I think that would be used more for, for example, appearing on television.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Even then you can say we'll be on the telly. We would say in that case, we will
Starting point is 00:09:17 use the same. We can probably say that for verbs when you are going to appear somewhere public, we always use Salir. Salir, okay, is Salir in the press, for example, if you could say. Salir in the revistas. In the revists. In the radio, too.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Okay. So we can use salir in this sense when we're talking about appearing on TV or in a newspaper or something like that. And that's why Rory and Alejandro say, Salredemos in those periodical. They're going to be famous. Seremosmosse. We'll be on the newspapers.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Perfect. And one other thing, just before we move on, you mentioned when we were reading through the English part there, you said one of the phrases that Rory was saying, and he said, let's not celebrate just yet. No cantemes Victoria still. That's a good one. A good one.
Starting point is 00:10:08 So cantar Victoria to literally, literally to sing victory. But here we're saying, no cantemos Victoria. Now that's interesting because it's a wee imperative. Not a little imperative in Scotland. A wee. A wee one.
Starting point is 00:10:25 No, it's a wee. It's an us form. So, however, we're not saying, Nosotros, we're not singing victory just yet. We're saying, let's not sing victory just yet because it's using the subjunctive form. No cantemos Victoria.
Starting point is 00:10:42 If we were saying, for example, let's not speak Spanish until Carmen arrives. We would say, No ablemos Spanish until that Carmen Yegue.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Another beautiful subjunctive there is well. No Ablemus Spanish until that's
