Transcript:Da: Under den klare arktiske himmel, strakte den Grønlandske indlandsis sig uendeligt.En: Under the clear Arctic sky, the Greenlandic ice sheet stretched out endlessly.Da: Sollyset dansede på de iskolde flader, og farverne skiftede konstant mellem blå og hvidt.En: The sunlight danced on the icy surfaces, and the colors constantly shifted between blue and white.Da: Freja stod på kanten af isen, det kolde vindkast mindede hende om barndommens somre her.En: Freja stood at the edge of the ice, the cold gusts of wind reminding her of childhood summers here.Da: Hun havde samlet sine søskende til en rejse på tværs af denne majestætiske vildmark.En: She had gathered her siblings for a journey across this majestic wilderness.Da: Det var år siden, hun, Magnus, og Lars havde været sammen på én gang.En: It had been years since she, Magnus, and Lars had been together at one time.Da: Freja havde længe ønsket at genoplive den gamle forbindelse mellem dem.En: Freja had long wished to revive the old connection between them.Da: Magnus ankom først, iført sin slidte anorak.En: Magnus arrived first, wearing his worn-out anorak.Da: Hans øjne havde altid en gnist, en kærlighed til dette barske land, selv nu.En: His eyes always had a spark, a love for this harsh land, even now.Da: Lars kom kort efter, usikker, hans byvaner ikke egnet til den vilde natur.En: Lars came shortly after, uncertain, his city habits unsuited for the wild nature.Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding.En: Freja took a deep breath.Da: "Er I klar til turen?"En: "Are you ready for the journey?"Da: spurgte hun med et smil og ville skabe en optimistisk tone.En: she asked with a smile, wanting to create an optimistic tone.Da: Magnus nikkede, mens Lars tøvede, hans øjne flakkede mod den endeløse is.En: Magnus nodded, while Lars hesitated, his eyes flickering toward the endless ice.Da: "Det bliver en oplevelse, Lars.En: "It will be an experience, Lars.Da: Vi er sammen, det er det vigtigste," sagde Magnus med en sjælden blidhed.En: We are together, that's what matters," said Magnus with a rare gentleness.Da: De begyndte deres vandring, stilheden kun brudt af deres skridt i sneen.En: They began their trek, the silence only broken by their steps in the snow.Da: Freja forsøgte at holde samtalen i gang.En: Freja tried to keep the conversation going.Da: Hun spurgte om Magnuss seneste ekskursioner og Lars' nye liv i byen.En: She asked about Magnus's recent excursions and Lars' new life in the city.Da: Dæmpede svar.En: Muffled responses.Da: Afstanden mellem dem føltes stadig.En: The distance between them still felt apparent.Da: Da middagssolen nåede zenit, kastede den et lys hen ad isens overflade, men så skete det uventede.En: When the midday sun reached its zenith, it cast light across the ice's surface, but then the unexpected happened.Da: Skyerne samlede sig hurtigt, vinden tiltog.En: The clouds gathered quickly, the wind picked up.Da: En uventet storm truede.En: An unexpected storm threatened.Da: Sneen føg omkring dem, synligheden blev dårlig.En: Snow blew around them, visibility worsened.Da: "Vi skal finde ly!"En: "We need to find shelter!"Da: råbte Freja med hævede arme.En: shouted Freja with raised arms.Da: Magnus viste vej, hans kendskab til landskabet en livline, og Lars fulgte tæt.En: Magnus led the way, his knowledge of the landscape a lifeline, and Lars followed closely.Da: I en fordybning i isen fandt de endelig et sted at gemme sig mod elementerne.En: In a depression in the ice, they finally found a place to hide from the elements.Da: Sammenkrøb i deres tilflugtssted, konfronterede det voldsomme vejr dem med deres frygt.En: Huddled in their refuge, the violent weather confronted them with their fears.Da: Luften var fyldt med drønnene fra vinden, og i den klaustrofobiske stilhed brød Freja den tavshed, der var trukket med dem i årevis.En: The air was filled with the roar of the wind, and in the claustrophobic silence, Freja broke the silence that had been with them for years.Da: "Jeg savner jer," sagde hun stille, tåren ned ad kinden.En: "I miss you," she said quietly, a tear down her cheek.Da: Magnus kiggede op, hans øjne bløde med følelser.En: Magnus looked up, his eyes soft with emotion.Da: "Jeg er aldrig rigtig taget væk," svarede han.En: "I never really left," he replied.Da: Lars tog en dyb indånding, hans fingerspidser nervøst gribende en islag.En: Lars took a deep breath, his fingertips nervously gripping an ice layer.Da: "Jeg har bare brug for at føle mig hjemme," tilstod han, stemmens kant forsvandt.En: "I just need to feel at home," he confessed, the edge from his voice gone.Da: Denne uventede åbenhed bragte varme i den kolde hule.En: This unexpected openness brought warmth in the cold cave.Da: Deres ord bandt dem langsomt sammen.En: Their words slowly bound them together.Da: Da stormen ebbede ud, og de kunne se igen, besluttede de sig for at vende tilbage.En: As the storm subsided, and they could see again, they decided to return.Da: Vandringen tilbage var fuld af latter og stille forståelse.En: The trek back was full of laughter and quiet understanding.Da: De delte frygt og håb, som isen smeltede under eftermiddagens solstråler.En: They shared fears and hopes, as the ice melted under the afternoon sunrays.Da: Ankommet til udgangspunktet, så de hinanden i øjnene med et nyt bånd.En: Arriving back at their starting point, they looked at each other with a new bond.Da: Freja følte ansvaret for familie falde af hendes skuldre, for nu bar de det sammen.En: Freja felt the responsibility of family lift from her shoulders, for now, they carried it together.Da: Magnus' ansigt strålede af en fred, han længe savnet.En: Magnus's face beamed with a peace he had long missed.Da: Og Lars havde fundet en plads imellem dem, som han længe havde søgt.En: And Lars had found a place among them he had long sought.Da: Samlet, nu mere end nogensinde, stod de ved isens kant og så på hinanden med nyfunden styrke, klar til at tage de næste skridt som en samlet enhed.En: Unified, now more than ever, they stood at the edge of the ice and looked at each other with newfound strength, ready to take the next steps as a united front.

In this episode of the Matt Watch That Podcast, host Matt Seroski talks about Alien: Earth and reviews the motorsports comedy The Cannonball Run (1981).

Moçambique assinala neste 25 de Junho de 2025, os 50 anos da sua independência. Por esta ocasião, a RFI propõe-vos um percurso pela história do país e a sua luta pela liberdade. No décimo primeiro episódio desta digressão, evocamos as circunstâncias do surgimento da Renamo. A obtenção da independência não significou a paz para Moçambique. Para além de países segregacionistas como a África do Sul e a antiga Rodésia verem com maus olhos as instauração de um sistema político socialista em Moçambique, no interior do país, várias vozes se insurgiram contra o caminho que estava a ser tomado pelo país, designadamente no que tange ao monopartidarismo. Foi neste contexto que surgiu em 1975, a Resistência Nacional de Moçambique, Renamo, um movimento inicialmente dirigido por um dissidente da Frelimo, André Matsangaíssa. Após a morte deste último em 1979, já durante a guerra civil, Afonso Dhlakama passa a liderar a resistência. António Muchanga, militante e antigo deputado da Renamo evoca o nascimento deste movimento.   "A Renamo nasce da revolta do povo moçambicano quando viu que as suas aspirações estavam adiadas. Como sabem, a Frelimo é o resultado da fusão de três movimentos. (…) Segundo os historiadores independentes, não esses que feitos com sistema, o objectivo era que depois da frente voltariam a definir o que é que queriam. Só que durante a luta armada de libertação nacional, começou o abate de prováveis pessoas que poderiam ameaçar o regime", conta o antigo deputado de oposição referindo-se nomeadamente a dissidentes como Uria Simango. "Depois, tivemos a situação das nacionalizações. Quando a Frelimo chega, logo em 1976, começa com as nacionalizações. Primeiro disse que era para lhes dar andamento, mas foi tirando casas às pessoas. O Eusébio perdeu a sua casa, apesar de terem vindo já dar mais uma outra casa. O próprio pai do Presidente Chissano tinha perdido cinco casas. Foi muita coisa feita. E há pessoas que não concordaram muito. Também não podiam chamar a atenção porque eram perseguidos, eram presos, eram assassinados. Naquele tempo era pecado ter um carro de marca Peugeot. Era pecado ter um carro de marca Volvo, para não falar de Mercedes Benz, porque essas marcas eram marcas do Estado. Quem devia ter eram os dirigentes. Então isto criou problemas. Jovens como Afonso Dhlakama sentiram-se obrigados a abandonar a Frelimo e foram criar a Resistência Nacional Moçambicana", diz António Muchanga. Edgar Silva, antigo deputado e guerrilheiro da Renamo, recorda também que na altura da fundação do partido, Moçambique estava a atravessar grandes dificuldades económicas, devido ao embargo então em vigor com os países que eram os vizinhos imediatos de Moçambique. "Ficamos fechados e o país mergulhou numa pobreza tal. Não tínhamos nada do estrangeiro não vinha nada, a não ser aquilo que vinha da Rússia e da Rússia não vinha a comida nessa altura. Nós vivíamos de donativos, graças aos Estados Unidos da América, que mandavam donativos para aqui para apoiar os centros, os internatos, algumas pequenas comunidades, mas o resto não havia. A economia decresceu. Não tínhamos nada, não produzíamos praticamente nada. Não tínhamos exportações nem importações. Começámos a passar um momento caótico. E daí que alguns moçambicanos viram a hipótese de terminar com aquilo. Afonso Dhlakama e outros moçambicanos tinham que arranjar meios para pôr termo a este sistema que só desgastava os moçambicanos. Daí que surgiu a Renamo", conta o antigo guerrilheiro. Ao recordar as circunstâncias em que começou a guerra civil em 1977, o antigo deputado explica que a ausência de multipartidarismo foi o foco da luta. "Não haviam eleições. A Frelimo impôs-se. Impôs-se quando chegou e disse que os outros são uns ‘bandidos quaisquer'. Diziam na altura que era um instrumento do imperialismo o instrumento do apartheid, instrumento do regime minoritário do Ian Smith, mas que na verdade não era. Isso provou-se. Com o avanço da guerra, zonas libertadas foram-se criando e a Frelimo vivia praticamente confinada nas cidades grandes porque todo o resto as pessoas estavam bem, já andavam, já circulavam, até produziam e estavam à vontade", diz Edgar Silva. O movimento anti-marxista teve como aliados objectivos entidades e países como a Rodésia e a África do Sul que não concordavam com a linha escolhida pelo novo poder de Moçambique. Questionado sobre as consequências desta aliança em termos de imagem, António Muchanga responde que a Renamo só podia buscar apoio junto de quem era contra a Frelimo. "Dada a própria natureza da região, a Renamo, só podia ir buscar armas a quem era contra Frelimo", justifica o antigo parlamentar ao acusar, por seu lado, a Frelimo de ter morto "muita gente em nome da Renamo", diz que "até agora continua a matar".   No mesmo sentido, Edgar Silva sublinha, quanto a si, que quem lutou contra a Frelimo eram combatentes moçambicanos. "Nós não fomos buscar militares lá na Rodésia. Foram moçambicanos. Porque aqui no território nacional, mesmo a própria Frelimo, não começou a luta no interior. Teve que se deslocar à Tanzânia, que era inimiga do governo colonial. Tivemos que ir buscar algum apoio. Muitas vezes não foi desses governos, mas de pessoas de bem lá de fora que traziam o material para nós. Dizemos que também era falso que depois do Ian Smith cair, que nós ficamos sem as portas para o Zimbábue. Continuamos logicamente a ir para Zimbábue buscar apoio e depois, quando o Zimbabué se torna independente, dizer também que a África do Sul é que passou a apoiar-nos, não constitui verdade. Aí nós já estávamos avançados, nós íamos buscar material às forças do inimigo e crescemos muito", afirma o antigo guerrilheiro. Após 16 anos de uma guerra civil que resultou em mais de um milhão de mortos, cinco milhões de refugiados, toda a ordem de violações dos direitos Humanos e a destruição de praticamente todas as infraestruturas do país, a Frelimo no poder e a Renamo assinam um acordo de paz em 1992. O muro de Berlim caiu, a antiga URSS ruiu e a comunidade internacional, especialmente a Igreja Católica, desdobra-se em esforços para acabar com o conflito. Questionado sobre as suas expectativas nessa época, Edgar Silva fala da "abertura do caminho para a democracia multipartidária". "Isto é um ganho que a Renamo conseguiu com os acordos de paz de 1992. (…) Isto é muito para nós", considera. António Muchanga, quanto a si, sublinha que o processo de paz, nomeadamente no que tange à desmobilização e ao desarmamento, continua em andamento. "Este é um processo que está a consolidar-se a cada dia que está a passar. Há militares que abandonaram as armas e se juntaram à política activa naquele tempo. Há outros que foram constituir o exército único que agora estão saindo e que também estão a ingressar na política. E assim vamos fazendo o nosso dia-a-dia. Temos muitos membros agora que são membros das assembleias municipais. Já tivemos muitos nas assembleias provinciais. Já tivemos muitos também, que eram deputados da Assembleia da República. Por causa da fraude eleitoral, desta vez temos poucos", lamenta António Muchanga. Podem ouvir os nossos entrevistados na íntegra aqui:

Emil.En: "I have some money," said Emil.Da: "Vi kan slå vores penge sammen.En: "We can pool our money together.Da: Så kan vi få noget virkelig godt."En: Then we can get something really nice."Da:

pen on display.Da: Det var perfekt til Sofie, der elskede at tegne og skrive.En: It was perfect for Sofie, who loved to draw and write.Da: Han nåede lige at række ud efter det, da han hørte et par elever tale om, at Sofie allerede havde fået et lignende sæt af sine forældre.En: He was just about to reach for it when he heard a couple of students talking about how Sofie had already received a similar set from her parents.Da: Han trak hånden tilbage og sukkede dybt.En: He pulled his hand back and sighed deeply.Da: Hvad skulle han gøre nu?En: What was he going to do now?Da: "Prøv at se på

allerede haft alt for sit kunstneriske sæt, men i denne bog lå noget, hun ikke kendte til – Lukas' oprigtige følelser.En: Sofie might already have had everything for her artistic set, but in this book lay something she didn't know about—Lukas's genuine feelings.Da: Han vidste nu, at det vigtigste var at være ærlig om, hvad han følte, ikke hvad han gav.En: He now knew that the most important thing was to be honest about how he felt, not what he gave.Da: Da Lukas og Emil forlod butikken, følte Lukas sig let om hjertet.En: As Lukas and Emil left the store, Lukas felt lighthearted.Da: Nogle gange var det bedste man kunne give, ikke noget der kom fra butikken, men noget der kom fra hjertet.En: Sometimes the best thing you could give wasn't something from the store, but something that came from the heart.Da: Den erkendelse alene var en gave i sig selv.En: That realization alone was a gift in itself.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Finding Harmony: A Family's Bond with Nature at Thy Cliffs Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-06-09-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Freja stod ved kanten af klipperne og lod blikket glide ud over det vidtstrakte hav.En: Freja stood at the edge of the cliffs and let her gaze wander over the vast sea.Da: Vinden spillede i hendes hår, og solens varme kærtegn fyldte hendes sind med en kortvarig fred.En: The wind played in her hair, and the sun's warm caress filled her mind with a fleeting sense of peace.Da: Denne del af kysten ved Thy National Park var hendes foretrukne sted om sommeren.En: This part of the coast at Thy National Park was her favorite place in the summer.Da: Her kunne hun ofte se sjældne fugle, der kom for at bygge rede på de bølgende klipper.En: Here she could often see rare birds that came to nest on the rolling cliffs.Da: Her ønskede hun at finde fred.En: Here she wished to find tranquility.Da: Men bag hende, på stranden, lød Søren's latter og Elins glade råb.En: But behind her, on the beach, came Søren's laughter and Elin's joyful shouts.Da: Søren, Frejas yngre bror, var altid midtpunkt for opmærksomheden.En: Søren, Freja's younger brother, was always the center of attention.Da: Han elskede sjov og eventyr og ønskede at inddrage alle – især sin ældre, mere tilbagetrukne søster.En: He loved fun and adventure and wanted to include everyone—especially his older, more reserved sister.Da: "Freja, kom, vi mangler dig til vikingegolf!"En: "Freja, come, we need you for viking golf!"Da: råbte Søren ivrigt.En: shouted Søren eagerly.Da: Freja sukkede lidt, men vidste, at hun måtte hjælpe med at sætte picnicen op, før hun kunne stikke af til sit eget hjørne af paradis.En: Freja sighed a little but knew she had to help set up the picnic before she could sneak away to her own corner of paradise.Da: Tiden gik, og tæpper blev lagt ud, kurve blev åbnet, og snart duftede luften af nybagt brød og friskfangede fisk.En: Time passed, blankets were laid out, baskets opened, and soon the air smelled of freshly baked bread and freshly caught fish.Da: Da de endelig var sat, med en undskyldning om at skulle tjekke noget, sneg Freja sig væk mod de mere isolerede klippeformationer.En: When they were finally settled, with an excuse to check something, Freja snuck away toward the more isolated rock formations.Da: Her, omgivet af bølgernes brusen, fandt hun sin plads.En: Here, surrounded by the roar of the waves, she found her spot.Da: Hun satte sig stille og tog sin kikkert frem.En: She sat quietly and took out her binoculars.Da: Hendes hjerte sprang ved synet af en sjælden havørn, majestætisk og stolt, der kredsede højt over hende.En: Her heart leaped at the sight of a rare sea eagle, majestic and proud, circling high above her.Da: I sin iver fordybede hun sig i dette magiske øjeblik, men i et øjebliks glæde kaldte hun på sin bror for at få del i synet.En: In her excitement, she got caught up in this magical moment, but in a moment of joy, she called for her brother to share in the sight.Da: "Søren!En: "Søren!Da: Se, se der!"En: Look, look there!"Da: råbte hun og glemte for en kort stund sin trang til isolation.En: she shouted, forgetting for a brief moment her urge for isolation.Da: Søren's nysgerrighed udløste en kædereaktion.En: Søren's curiosity triggered a chain reaction.Da: Hele familien rejste sig, greb deres kikkerter og strømmede hen mod Frejas sted.En: The whole family got up, grabbed their binoculars, and streamed toward Freja's spot.Da: Freja så til, bange for at de ville skræmme fuglen væk.En: Freja watched, afraid they would scare the bird away.Da: Men til hendes overraskelse satte de sig lydløst ved siden af hende.En: But to her surprise, they sat down quietly beside her.Da: Sammen, næsten åndeløse, delte de synet af havørnen.En: Together, almost breathless, they shared the sight of the sea eagle.Da: Øjeblikket blev et, hvor stilhed talte højere end ord.En: The moment became one where silence spoke louder than words.Da: Freja følte en ny forståelse vokse i sig.En: Freja felt a new understanding grow within her.Da: Måske kunne hendes familie være en del af denne skønhed, uden at den blev ødelagt.En: Perhaps her family could be part of this beauty without ruining it.Da: Da havørnen til sidst svævede væk, blev hun siddende og følte en uventet varme risle gennem sig.En: When the sea eagle finally soared away, she remained seated, feeling an unexpected warmth trickle through her.Da: I løbet af eftermiddagen gik de roligt tilbage til picnicen.En: Throughout the afternoon, they walked calmly back to the picnic.Da: Fuglene fløj rundt dem, og Freja smilede til Søren, som om hun havde fundet en dybere forbindelse til både naturen og sin familie.En: Birds flew around them, and Freja smiled at Søren, as if she had found a deeper connection to both nature and her family.Da: Midt i latteren og den stille forening havde hun fundet balancen mellem sine ønsker og familiens kærlighed.En: Amidst the laughter and quiet unity, she had found the balance between her desires and her family's love.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Midsummer Revelations in Rosenborg: A Night of Closure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-06-05-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: På en lys sommeraften i hjertet af København fyldtes Rosenborg Slotshave med mennesker.En: On a bright summer evening in the heart of København, Rosenborg Slotshave filled with people.Da: Det var Sankt Hans Aften, en festlig lejlighed, hvor venner og familier samledes for at fejre midsommerens glæder.En: It was Sankt Hans Aften, a festive occasion where friends and families gathered to celebrate the joys of midsummer.Da: Duften af blomstrende roser svævede i luften, mens lanterner kastede et varmt skær over de farverige blomsterbede.En: The scent of blooming roses floated in the air as lanterns cast a warm glow over the colorful flower beds.Da: Kasper gik ind gennem havens smukke indgang.En: Kasper entered through the garden's beautiful entrance.Da: Han var 32 år gammel og havde en passion for historie.En: He was 32 years old and had a passion for history.Da: I aften håbede han at genoplive minderne fra fortiden, især de tidspunkter, han havde delt med en særlig person: Lise.En: Tonight, he hoped to relive memories from the past, especially the times he had shared with a special person: Lise.Da: For mange år siden var deres forhold endt uden klare svar, og denne midtsommeraften ønskede han både at genfinde venskabet eller finde afslutningen, der havde manglet.En: Many years ago, their relationship had ended without clear answers, and this midsummer night he wished both to rekindle the friendship or find the closure that was missing.Da: Men mængden var stor, og Kasper så hurtigt, at Lise allerede var i selskab med en mand ved navn Mikkel.En: But the crowd was large, and Kasper quickly saw that Lise was already in the company of a man named Mikkel.Da: De lo og delte minder fra deres egne oplevelser.En: They laughed and shared memories from their own experiences.Da: Kasper følte en knude inde i sig.En: Kasper felt a knot inside him.Da: Han ville så gerne nærme sig Lise, men usikkerheden nagede.En: He wanted so much to approach Lise, but uncertainty gnawed at him.Da: Problemet var ikke blot folkemængden, men også Kaspers tvivl i sit hjerte.En: The problem was not just the crowd but also Kasper's doubts in his heart.Da: Mens skoven omkring dunkelhede mere, lød lyden af musik og latter gennem haven.En: As the forest around grew darker, the sound of music and laughter echoed through the garden.Da: Kasper sad alene på en bænk et stykke fra festen, så på Lise i afstand og tænkte tilbage på alle de øjeblikke, de havde haft.En: Kasper sat alone on a bench a short distance from the party, watching Lise from afar and thinking back on all the moments they had shared.Da: Tiden gik langsomt, men Kasper vidste, at han måtte gøre noget.En: Time passed slowly, but Kasper knew he had to do something.Da: Han ønskede ikke at forlade haven uden et forsøg på at genoprette forbindelsen.En: He didn't want to leave the garden without an attempt to restore the connection.Da: Da bålet endelig blev tændt, dansede flammerne mod nattehimlen, og det virkede som om det var hans tegn.En: When the bonfire was finally lit, the flames danced against the night sky, and it seemed like his sign.Da: Modet voksede i ham, og han besluttede, at det var nu eller aldrig.En: Courage grew within him, and he decided it was now or never.Da: Kasper gik hen mod Lise, hver et skridt en sejr over hans tøven.En: Kasper walked toward Lise, every step a victory over his hesitation.Da: "Lise," kaldte han med en let rysten i stemmen.En: "Lise," he called with a slight tremble in his voice.Da: Hun vendte sig om, overrasket, men smilede varmt da hun genkendte ham.En: She turned around, surprised, but smiled warmly when she recognized him.Da: De talte lidt om gamle dage, forlegenheden mærkbar men ikke uovervindelig.En: They talked a bit about the old days, the awkwardness palpable but not insurmountable.Da: Kasper nævnte deres ubesvarede slutning, og i det øjeblik kom Mikkel hoppende glad til dem.En: Kasper mentioned their unanswered ending, and at that moment Mikkel cheerfully hopped over to them.Da: Han anede intet om den underliggende spænding og udstrålede kun glæde over bål og fest.En: He was unaware of the underlying tension and radiated only joy over the bonfire and festivity.Da: Trods afbrydelsen formåede Kasper og Lise at dele deres følelser om fortiden.En: Despite the interruption, Kasper and Lise managed to share their feelings about the past.Da: Samtalen var ærlig og let tilspidset, men bragte den klarhed, Kasper havde søgt.En: The conversation was honest and somewhat pointed, but it brought the clarity Kasper had been seeking.Da: De enedes om at holde kontakten, men begge vidste også, at tiden havde ændret dem.En: They agreed to keep in touch, but both also knew that time had changed them.Da: Haven, nu badet i bålens glød, repræsenterede på sin vis den afslutning, Kasper havde brug for.En: The garden, now bathed in the glow of the bonfire, symbolized in a way the closure Kasper needed.Da: Han følte sig lettere, i fred med fortidens flygtighed, og klar til at omfavne de nye oplevelser, som livet måtte bringe.En: He felt lighter, at peace with the fleeting nature of the past, and ready to embrace the new experiences that life might bring.Da: Sankt Hans Aften var både en slutning og en ny begyndelse for ham i Rosenborg Slotshaves skønhed.En: Sankt Hans Aften was both an ending and a new beginning for him in the beauty of Rosenborg Slotshave.

This week, we're going back to Rogue One—but this time, we've got Andor Season 2 in our rearview. And wow, does it change the game. We're talking about how Cassian's journey feels way more intense now, how characters like Mon Mothma and Luthen add so much more depth to the rebellion, and how the whole vibe of Rogue One just hits harder. If Andor made you rethink everything you thought you knew about the early days of the Rebellion, you're in good company.

Transcript:Da: Det var en af de første varme dage i april.En: It was one of the first warm days in April.Da: Solen skinnede fra en skyfri himmel, og Kongens Have i København summede af liv.En: The sun shone from a cloudless sky, and Kongens Have in København buzzed with life.Da: Jens sad på en bænk og kiggede på de mange mennesker, der spadserede rundt i haven.En: Jens sat on a bench watching the many people strolling around the park.Da: Blomsterne sprang ud i farverige nuancer, og duften af forår fyldte luften.En: The flowers blossomed in colorful hues, and the scent of spring filled the air.Da: Ved siden af ham sad Astrid med et smil, der kunne smelte is.En: Next to him sat Astrid with a smile that could melt ice.Da: "Jens, hvad med en spontan tur i weekenden?"En: "Jens, what about a spontaneous trip this weekend?"Da: spurgte Astrid pludselig.En: asked Astrid suddenly.Da: Hendes øjne glimtede af eventyrlyst.En: Her eyes gleamed with a sense of adventure.Da: Jens kiggede op fra bogen, han havde forsøgt at læse.En: Jens looked up from the book he had been trying to read.Da: "En tur?En: "A trip?Da: Hvorhenne?"En: Where to?"Da: "Jeg tænkte, vi kunne tage til Møn.En: "I thought we could go to Møn.Da: Se klinten og slappe af ved stranden," foreslog Astrid entusiastisk.En: See the cliffs and relax by the beach," suggested Astrid enthusiastically.Da: Jens var stille et øjeblik.En: Jens was silent for a moment.Da: Han elskede tanken om at bryde fri fra hverdagen, men han var også bekymret for alt, hvad han skulle nå.En: He loved the idea of breaking free from everyday life, but he was also worried about all the things he had to do.Da: Derhjemme ventede altid nogen pligter.En: There were always chores waiting at home.Da: Men foråret trak i ham – den friske duft, den blå himmel – og tanken om en weekend væk var lokkende.En: But spring was calling to him—the fresh scent, the blue sky—and the thought of a weekend away was tempting.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, Astrid.En: "I'm not sure, Astrid.Da: Jeg burde blive hjemme og ordne nogle ting," sagde han lidt tøvende.En: I should stay home and get some things done," he said a bit hesitantly.Da: Astrid rystede på hovedet og så ham i øjnene.En: Astrid shook her head and looked him in the eyes.Da: "Jens, somme tider skal vi sætte pligterne på pause.En: "Jens, sometimes we need to put our duties on hold.Da: Livet handler også om at leve, ikke bare om at gøre det, vi skal."En: Life is also about living, not just doing what we must."Da: Som Astrid sagde disse ord, faldt nogle blomsterblade ned på dem fra det nærliggende træ.En: As Astrid spoke these words, some flower petals fell on them from the nearby tree.Da: Jens kiggede op og kunne ikke lade være med at smile.En: Jens looked up and couldn't help but smile.Da: Træet var i fuldt flor, og blomsterne dansede i brisen.En: The tree was in full bloom, and the flowers danced in the breeze.Da: Det var et tegn, tænkte han.En: It was a sign, he thought.Da: Måske var det tid til at tage chancen.En: Maybe it was time to take a chance.Da: "Okay, jeg er med," sagde Jens pludselig, beslutsomt.En: "Okay, I'm in," said Jens suddenly, decisively.Da: "Lad os tage af sted i weekenden."En: "Let's go away for the weekend."Da: Astrid klappede i hænderne af glæde.En: Astrid clapped her hands with joy.Da: "Perfekt!En: "Perfect!Da: Vi skal få det fantastisk!"En: We're going to have a fantastic time!"Da: Weekendturen til Møn blev et eventyr for dem begge.En: The weekend trip to Møn turned into an adventure for both of them.Da: Jens følte sig fri som aldrig før, og oplevelserne med Astrid var uforglemmelige.En: Jens felt freer than ever before, and the experiences with Astrid were unforgettable.Da: De gik langs strandene, så den majestætiske klint, og om aftenen sad de ved et bål og talte under stjernerne.En: They walked along the beaches, saw the majestic cliffs, and in the evening, they sat by a fire talking under the stars.Da: Da de kom tilbage til København, følte Jens sig fornyet.En: When they returned to København, Jens felt renewed.Da: Det var ikke så skræmmende, som han havde frygtet, at lade pligterne vente.En: It wasn't as scary as he had feared to let responsibilities wait.Da: Han havde lært, at nogle gange lå magien i de spontane øjeblikke – og i venskabet som Astrid altid bragte med sig.En: He had learned that sometimes magic lay in the spontaneous moments—and in the friendship that Astrid always brought with her.Da: Fra da af blev Jens mere åben for spontanitet.En: From then on, Jens became more open to spontaneity.Da: Han indså, at ansvar og spontanitet kunne balanceres.En: He realized that responsibility and spontaneity could be balanced.Da: For hver gang, han gik uden for sin komfortzone, ventede der noget smukt derude.En: Every time he stepped out of his comfort zone, something beautiful awaited out there.Da: Og han vidste nu, at han altid kunne stole på Astrid til at minde ham om det.En: And he now knew he could always rely on Astrid to remind him of that.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Unearthing Secrets: The Hidden Mystery of the Old Oak Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-05-18-22-34-01-da Story Transcript:Da: En solrig forårsmorgen, hvor blomsterne netop var begyndt at springe ud, og fuglene sang glade melodier, løb Jens hen ad stien til Astrids hus.En: On a sunny spring morning, when the flowers had just begun to bloom and the birds sang cheerful melodies, Jens ran down the path to Astrid's house.Da: Luften duftede af friske blomster, og græsset var blødt under hans fødder.En: The air smelled of fresh flowers, and the grass was soft beneath his feet.Da: Astrids baghave var kendt for det store, gamle egetræ, som stod majestætisk med sine kraftige rødder, der snoede sig ned i jorden.En: Astrid's backyard was known for the large, old oak tree, which stood majestically with its sturdy roots twisting down into the ground.Da: Jens kunne ikke få øjnene væk fra egetræet.En: Jens couldn't keep his eyes off the oak tree.Da: Der var noget mystisk ved det, noget kaldte på ham.En: There was something mysterious about it, something calling to him.Da: "Astrid!En: "Astrid!Da: Kom og se," råbte Jens ivrigt, da han nåede Astrids have.En: Come and see," Jens shouted eagerly as he reached Astrid's garden.Da: Astrid, der netop havde været i gang med at plante nye blomster, tørrede sine hænder af i forklædet og gik hen til Jens.En: Astrid, who had just been busy planting new flowers, wiped her hands on her apron and walked over to Jens.Da: "Hvad er der?"En: "What is it?"Da: spurgte hun forsigtigt.En: she asked cautiously.Da: "Jeg tror, der er en hemmelig passage under træet!"En: "I think there's a secret passage under the tree!"Da: sagde Jens med et glimt i øjet og pegede mod et svagt synligt hul mellem de snoede rødder.En: Jens said with a twinkle in his eye, pointing to a faintly visible hole among the twisted roots.Da: Astrid kiggede skeptisk.En: Astrid looked skeptical.Da: "Det ser farligt ud, Jens.En: "It looks dangerous, Jens.Da: Vi burde måske lade det være."En: Maybe we should just leave it."Da: Men Jens var allerede bøjet ned for at undersøge hullet nærmere.En: But Jens was already bent down to examine the hole more closely.Da: "Bare rolig, Astrid," sagde han med et grin.En: "Don't worry, Astrid," he said with a grin.Da: "Vi kan gå ned og kigge.En: "We can go down and take a look.Da: Vi vender om, hvis det bliver for farligt."En: We'll turn back if it gets too risky."Da: Med lidt tøven indvilligede Astrid.En: With some hesitation, Astrid agreed.Da: "Okay, men jeg går med dig," sagde hun med en fast beslutsomhed.En: "Okay, but I'm going with you," she said with firm determination.Da: De krøb forsigtigt ned i passagen, og det blev hurtigt køligt og dunkelt omkring dem.En: They carefully crawled down into the passage, and it quickly became cool and dark around them.Da: Lyset fra haven blev til en fjern stribe bag dem, men Jens' nysgerrighed drev dem videre.En: The light from the garden became a distant strip behind them, but Jens' curiosity drove them further.Da: Snart stod de i et lille kammer dybt i jorden.En: Soon they stood in a small chamber deep underground.Da: Rummets vægge var dækket af gamle artefakter, og der på den ene væg var en mystisk indskrift indgraveret.En: The room's walls were covered with old artifacts, and there on one of the walls was a mysterious inscription engraved.Da: "Hvad mon det betyder?"En: "What could it mean?"Da: spurgte Astrid, mens hun studerede indskriften med interesse.En: Astrid asked as she studied the inscription with interest.Da: En del af frygten var nu blevet til spænding.En: Part of her fear had now turned to excitement.Da: Jens kløede sig i nakken, mens han læste ordene højt.En: Jens scratched his head as he read the words aloud.Da: "Vi skal finde ud af det!En: "We have to find out!Da: Der må være en måde at forstå det på."En: There must be a way to understand it."Da: Sammen arbejdede de på at afkode indskriften, og gradvist begyndte ordene at give mening.En: Together they worked on deciphering the inscription, and gradually the words began to make sense.Da: Det var en glemt historie om deres nabolag, om en gammel landsby, der engang var blevet skabt her.En: It was a forgotten story about their neighborhood, about an old village that had once been established here.Da: "Vi må fortælle det her til den lokale historiske forening!"En: "We have to tell the local historical society about this!"Da: udbrød Astrid med et smil.En: Astrid exclaimed with a smile.Da: På vej tilbage op fra passagen følte de sig begge forandrede.En: On the way back up from the passage, they both felt changed.Da: Jens havde lært, at det nogle gange var godt at tage det roligt og arbejde sammen, mens Astrid opdagede glæden ved et eventyr.En: Jens had learned that sometimes it's good to take things slowly and work together, while Astrid discovered the joy of an adventure.Da: Da de stod i solen igen, kiggede Jens på Astrid.En: As they stood in the sun again, Jens looked at Astrid.Da: "Ser du, det var ikke så farligt.En: "See, it wasn't so dangerous.Da: Sammen kan vi klare alt."En: Together we can handle anything."Da: Astrid nikkede.En: Astrid nodded.Da: "Og vi opdager måske mere, vi kan lære om vores hjem."En: "And we might discover more we can learn about our home."Da: De gik sammen tilbage til Astrids hus, ivrige efter at dele deres fund og huske dagen, hvor de udforskede under det gamle egetræ.En: They walked back together to Astrid's house, eager to share their findings and remember the day they explored beneath the old oak tree.

On March 15th, federal agents rounded up more than 230 Venezuelan nationals who were then deported to El Salvador and locked up in the country's notorious mega-prison. The Trump administration said the men belonged to a violent Venezuelan gang, but presented no evidence, and there were no court hearings in which the men could contest the allegations. Nearly a month later, families of the Venezuelan men say they have heard nothing about their fate. It's as if they disappeared. “We're living in a world where you can just be rounded up with no hearing, not even an administrative hearing, nothing,” says immigration attorney Joseph Giardina. “Why couldn't you have let their cases be adjudicated? There's no logical answer other than a publicity stunt.” This week on Reveal, Mother Jones reporters Isabela Dias and Noah Lanard speak to the families and lawyers of 10 men now imprisoned at the Terrorism Confinement Center, known as CECOT. They vehemently deny allegations that the men are members of the Tren de Aragua criminal organization, and several provided evidence to support that. To learn more about the Trump administration's arrangement with the government of El Salvador, host Al Letson speaks with Carlos Dada, co-founder and director of El Faro, the Salvadaron investigative news outlet. Dada says that in addition to foreign nationals, the agreement also allows for American citizens convicted of crimes to be imprisoned in El Salvador. As the Trump administration also targets international students who have spoken out about Israel's war in Gaza, Reveal's Najib Aminy reports on pro-Israel groups that are claiming to have shared lists of student protestors with the White House, and then taking credit when some of those young people are targeted for deportation.
