Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede lystigt over København, og Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: The sun shone cheerfully over København, and Tivoli Gardens hummed with life.Da: Det var sommer, og parken var fyldt med glade gæster.En: It was summer, and the park was filled with happy guests.Da: Søren stod ved indgangen, hans øjne strålede af spænding.En: Søren stood at the entrance, his eyes shining with excitement.Da: Dette var hans første besøg i Tivoli sammen med hans bedste ven, Kasper, og deres nye ven, Mette.En: This was his first visit to Tivoli with his best friend, Kasper, and their new friend, Mette.Da: Kasper kiggede bekymret på Søren.En: Kasper looked at Søren with concern.Da: "Husk nu, du skal være forsigtig med maden her," sagde han.En: "Remember, you have to be careful with the food here," he said.Da: Søren havde en alvorlig peanutallergi, men i al sin ivrighed nikkede han bare og stilede videre mod de spændende boder.En: Søren had a severe peanut allergy, but in all his eagerness, he just nodded and headed towards the exciting stalls.Da: Mette førte an med stor selvtillid.En: Mette led the way with great confidence.Da: Hun havde været i Tivoli mange gange før og elskede at vise sine yndlingssteder.En: She had been to Tivoli many times before and loved showing her favorite places.Da: "Lad os starte med Dæmonen!"En: "Let's start with Dæmonen!"Da: foreslog hun.En: she suggested.Da: Drengene var enige, og snart fløj de igennem luften, skrigene blev opslugt af lyden af alle de andre forlystelser.En: The boys agreed, and soon they were flying through the air, their screams swallowed up by the sound of all the other rides.Da: Efter et par ture begyndte Søren at føle sig sulten.En: After a few rides, Søren started feeling hungry.Da: Duften af vafler, grillede kødspyd og friskbagte brød trak ham mod madboderne.En: The smell of waffles, grilled meat skewers, and freshly baked bread drew him towards the food stalls.Da: "Jeg vil prøve noget nyt," erklærede han.En: "I want to try something new," he declared.Da: Kasper så på ham med et skeptisk blik.En: Kasper looked at him with a skeptical gaze.Da: "Er du sikker?En: "Are you sure?Da: Måske bør vi spørge hvad maden indeholder først?"En: Maybe we should ask what the food contains first?"Da: Men Søren, drevet af sin eventyrlyst, valgte en lokal specialitet fra boden.En: But Søren, driven by his adventurous spirit, chose a local specialty from the stall.Da: Han tog en stor bid, begejstret over at udforske noget nyt.En: He took a big bite, excited to explore something new.Da: Pludselig, midt i grinene, stoppede Søren op.En: Suddenly, in the midst of laughter, Søren stopped.Da: Hans hals begyndte at klø, og hans ansigt blev rødt.En: His throat started itching, and his face turned red.Da: "Jeg tror, der var peanuts i maden," sagde han med en svag stemme.En: "I think there were peanuts in the food," he said in a weak voice.Da: Panikken bredte sig hurtigt.En: Panic spread quickly.Da: Kasper greb sin telefon for at ringe efter hjælp, mens Mette skyndte sig at finde førstehjælpsstationen, hun vidste lå tæt på.En: Kasper grabbed his phone to call for help, while Mette rushed to find the first aid station, which she knew was nearby.Da: De var nær en af de travlere stier, og folk flyttede sig hurtigt til side, da Mette hastede forbi.En: They were close to one of the busier paths, and people quickly moved aside as Mette hurried past.Da: Paramedicinerne ved førstehjælpsstationen tog straks over.En: The paramedics at the first aid station immediately took over.Da: De gav Søren den medicin, han havde brug for, og snart begyndte hans vejrtrækning at stabilisere sig.En: They gave Søren the medication he needed, and soon his breathing began to stabilize.Da: "Søren, du skal være mere forsigtig næste gang," sagde Kasper.En: "Søren, you need to be more careful next time," said Kasper.Da: Hans stemme var mild, men fyldt med bekymring.En: His voice was gentle but filled with concern.Da: Søren nikkede, mens han langsomt genvandt kræfterne.En: Søren nodded as he slowly regained his strength.Da: "Jeg lover at lytte til dig fremover," svarede han.En: "I promise to listen to you from now on," he replied.Da: "Jeg har lært min lektie."En: "I've learned my lesson."Da: Da dagen gik på hæld, og solen begyndte at gå ned, sad de tre venner sammen på en bænk, lettet og taknemmelige.En: As the day came to an end, and the sun began to set, the three friends sat together on a bench, relieved and grateful.Da: Søren havde fået en vigtig lektion, og hans venskab med Kasper blev kun stærkere af oplevelsen.En: Søren had learned an important lesson, and his friendship with Kasper only grew stronger from the experience.Da: De blev enige om, at selvom Tivoli var fyldt med spænding, var det vigtigste trods alt at passe på hinanden.En: They agreed that although Tivoli was filled with excitement, the most important thing was to take care of each other.

stille ved sin ende af bordet.En: Lars sat silently at his end of the table.Da: Han følte det som om vægten af hele verden pressede på hans skuldre.En: He felt as though the weight of the whole world

overwhelmed like the rest, worked mechanically.Da: Men tankerne kørte.En: But his thoughts were racing.Da: Nu eller aldrig.En: Now or never.Da: Inden natten var omme, ville han sige det.En: Before the night was over, he would say it.Da: Han havde set nok gennem kameralinsen til at vide, at øjeblikke som disse definerede folk.En: He had seen enough through the camera lens to know that moments like

fjernede sig, blev stilheden brudt af samtale.En: And as the hours passed, while the sound of the ambulance siren slowly faded away, the silence was broken by conversation.Da: Dybere samtale.En: Deeper conversation.Da: Familierelationer, som havde været så løsnete gennem årene, begyndte at finde deres knuder igen.En: Family ties that had been loosened over the years began to find their knots again.Da: Da natten blev til morgen, og solens første stråler ramte det lille skæve hus, vidste Lars, at noget havde ændret sig.En: As night turned to morning, and the first rays of the sun hit the small crooked house, Lars knew that something had changed.Da: En slags fred.En: A kind of peace.Da: En begyndelse.En: A beginning.Da: Mette så det samme.En: Mette saw the same thing.Da: En ny mulighed for deres familie.En: A new opportunity for their family.Da: Ingen ord kunne beskrive følelsen af håb, som blussede i deres hjerter.En: No words could describe the feeling of hope that flared in their hearts.Da: For i den varme sommernat havde de fundet noget kærkomment.En: For in that warm summer night, they had found something precious.Da: Sammenhold.En: Togetherness.

What's better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D'Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more. Across both mixes you will hear Cio's unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist's touch. Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.

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 bøgerne," sagde Emil og pegede mod hylderne.En: "Try looking at the books," said Emil, pointing towards the shelves.Da: "Du ved, hvilke bøger hun ikke har læst, ikke?"En: "You know which books she

note.Da: Det var en simpel, men ærlig besked om hans beundring for hendes kreative sind og venlige smil.En: It was a simple, yet sincere message about his admiration for her creative mind and kind smile.Da: Han placerede sedlen forsigtigt inde mellem bogens sider og smilede for sig selv.En: He placed the note carefully between the pages of the book and smiled to himself.Da: Sofie havde måske 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.

Wow, we take one week off, and now we have twice as much to discuss! (Makes sense.) First, the Asian baseball world mourns the passing of Yomiuri Giants legend, Shigeo Nagashima, "Mr. Pro Baseball." Then, into the nitty gritty. With June underway, it's that time of the year for the trade rumor mill to get up and running...and it seems like almost all the Asians on the Red Sox are possible trade chips. In other moves, we've got guys called up, guys on rehab stints, guys on the IL, and even a guy on a new team.In position player news, Asians are MASHING. Seiya Suzuki is the first player in MLB to reach 50 RBI, Trevor Larnach is delivering on the Twins, Kim Hyeseong stays above 400, and Tommy Edman's son Eli is the newest Asian in Baseball as he throws out the first pitch on Dada's bobblehead night. And in pitching, Tommy Sugar still leads Orioles pitching, Yusei Kikuchi and Yoshinobu Yamamoto get the Ohtani treatment, and Bryan Woo and Kodai Senga remain dominant. Lastly, Ohtani tries to have it all as a three-way player: DHing, ramping up his pitching regimen, and juggling dad life. Don't forget to vote for our guys for the All Star Game! https://www.mlb.com/all-star/ballot?affiliateId=asb-mediawall-asg-2025

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.

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.
