Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Silence to Science: Árpád's Breakthrough Moment Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-02-08-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Budapest Tudományos Múzeum november elején különösen nyüzsgő volt.En: The Budapest Tudományos Múzeum was particularly bustling at the beginning of November.Hu: Az őszi levelek aranyszínűre festették a várost, és a diákok mindenfelé izgatottan fedezték fel a technológiai és természet kiállításokat.En: The autumn leaves painted the city in golden hues, and students excitedly explored the technology and nature exhibits everywhere.Hu: Az iskolai kirándulás napját arra az időszakra időzítették, amikor a múzeumban ünnepi programok is zajlottak, hiszen közeledett a mindenszentek napja.En: The school trip was scheduled for a period when there were festive programs at the museum, as All Saints' Day was approaching.Hu: Árpád, egy csendes, de kíváncsi fiú, lassan lépett be a nagy kapun.En: Árpád, a quiet but curious boy, slowly stepped through the large gate.Hu: Árpád a tudomány megszállottja volt.En: Árpád was obsessed with science.Hu: Mindig is álmodott arról, hogy egyszer tudósként dolgozik, mégis, a diáktársai között gyakran érezte magát magányosan.En: He always dreamed of working as a scientist one day, yet among his classmates, he often felt lonely.Hu: A közösségi helyzetek kihívást jelentettek számára.En: Social situations posed challenges for him.Hu: Eszter, az osztálytársa, nem volt ezzel így.En: Eszter, his classmate, was not like this.Hu: Vidám és energikus lányként mindenkivel szót értett.En: As a cheerful and energetic girl, she got along with everyone.Hu: Árpád már régóta remélte, hogy talál módot arra, hogy barátokat szerezzen, de félelmei mindig útjába álltak.En: Árpád had long hoped to find a way to make friends, but his fears always stood in the way.Hu: Zoltán tanár úr, a csoport vezetője, szeretett magával ragadó történeteket mesélni a tudományos csodákról.En: Zoltán tanár úr, the group leader, loved to tell captivating stories about scientific wonders.Hu: Ő is észrevette Árpád zárkózottságát, és aggódott érte.En: He also noticed Árpád's introversion and worried about him.Hu: Azelőtt sose sikerült közel kerülnie a gyerekhez, pedig úgy érezte, Árpádnak sok mondanivalója lenne.En: He had never managed to get close to the child, although he felt Árpád had a lot to say.Hu: A csoport végül megérkezett a vulkánok kiállításához.En: Eventually, the group arrived at the volcano exhibit.Hu: Az interaktív bemutatón egy laboráns megmutatta, hogyan tör ki egy miniatűr vulkán.En: During the interactive demonstration, a lab technician showed how a miniature volcano erupts.Hu: Árpád figyelt, de észrevett valamit, amit a bemutató során kihagytak.En: Árpád watched, but noticed something that was left out of the demonstration.Hu: A gyomra összeszorult, és hezitált.En: His stomach tightened, and he hesitated.Hu: Tudja, hogy el kellene mondania.En: He knew he should speak up.Hu: Ekkor Eszter felé fordult, aki érdeklődve figyelte a vulkánt.En: Then he turned to Eszter, who was watching the volcano intently.Hu: "Ez... valszuleg azért tör ki így, mert a nyomás miatt fölgyülemlik a magma," mondta Árpád halkan, de határozottan.En: "This... probably erupts like this because the magma accumulates due to pressure," said Árpád softly but firmly.Hu: Minden szem rászegeződött.En: All eyes were on him.Hu: Erőt merített magából, és folytatta.En: He gathered his strength and continued.Hu: „A magma a földkéreg belsejéből jön, és ha a nyomás elég nagy lesz, kitör...” magyarázta.En: "The magma comes from inside the Earth's crust, and when the pressure becomes high enough, it erupts..." he explained.Hu: Az érdeklődő tekintetek ösztönözték.En: The interested gazes encouraged him.Hu: Eszter mosolyogva bólogatott, és kérdéseket tett fel.En: Eszter nodded with a smile and asked questions.Hu: Lassan egy egész beszélgetés bontakozott ki köröttük.En: Slowly, an entire conversation unfolded around them.Hu: Több diáktársuk is csatlakozott, Zoltán pedig elégedetten figyelte, ahogy Árpád végre megnyílik.En: More classmates joined in, and Zoltán watched contentedly as Árpád finally opened up.Hu: A kirándulás végére Árpád már nem csak a tudomány miatt örült.En: By the end of the trip, Árpád was happy not just because of science.Hu: Először érezte, hogy igazán részese valaminek.En: For the first time, he felt like he was truly part of something.Hu: Eszter és a többiek ismerkedtek vele, és omlott le a fal közte és a világ között.En: Eszter and the others got to know him, and the wall between him and the world began to crumble.Hu: Megtalálta a bátorságát, és ma már nem csak a könyvek lapjain élt.En: He found his courage, and now he lived not just on the pages of books.Hu: Ahogy a nap lenyugodott a város felett, Árpád mosolyogva indult hazafelé.En: As the sun set over the city, Árpád headed home with a smile.Hu: A barátság és a tudomány iránti szenvedély most már kéz a kézben járt.En: Friendship and a passion for science now walked hand in hand.Hu: Tudta, hogy a jövőben nem lesz olyan magányos, mint korábban, és ez új fejezetet nyitott az életében.En: He knew he wouldn't be as lonely in the future as he had been before, and it opened a new chapter in his life.

Azt mondják, régen itt lakott egy híres tudós."En: "I've heard about it. They say a famous scientist used to live there."Hu: Ahogy a csoport elindult a rendezett park felé, Áron fejében egy terv kezdett alakot ölteni.En: As the group headed towards the well-kept park, a plan began to form in Áron's mind.Hu: Meg akarta keresni az emlegetett házat, és bebizonyítani, hogy nem csak mese.En: He wanted to find the mentioned house and prove it was not just a tale.Hu: Ahogy elértek a park közepére, a tanárok és csoportvezetők kiosztották a tájékoztatókat.En: When they reached the center of the park, the teachers and group leaders handed out the information leaflets.Hu: "Ne hagyjátok el a kijelölt területet" - mondták határozottan.En: "Do not leave the designated area," they stated firmly.Hu: Áron azonban csak a kihívást hallotta.En: Áron, however, only heard the challenge.Hu: Reggel közepén Áron súgott Rebekának és Lászlónak.En: In the middle of the morning, Áron whispered to Rebeka and László.Hu: "Menjünk, nézzük meg azt a házat! Csak egy kis időre, senki sem veszi észre."En: "Let's go see that house! Just for a little while, no one will notice."Hu: Rebeka habozott, de Áron lelkesedése végül elérte őt.En: Rebeka hesitated, but Áron's enthusiasm eventually reached her.Hu: "Rendben, de ha bajba kerülünk, te leszel a hibás."En: "Alright, but if we get in trouble, it will be your fault."Hu: László kicsit aggódott az engedetlenség miatt, de a kíváncsiság erősebb volt.En: László was a bit worried about the disobedience, but his curiosity was stronger.Hu: "Nézzük meg gyorsan!"En: "Let's check it out quickly!"Hu: A park szélén, a magas fáktól elrejtve, megtalálták a házat.En: At the edge of the park, hidden by tall trees, they found the house.Hu: Egy régi kúriának tűnt, borostyán borította falai lenyűgözőek voltak.En: It seemed like an old mansion, its ivy-covered walls were impressive.Hu: Mindhárman lélegzetvisszafojtva nézték a tornyos épületet.En: They all gazed at the towering building, holding their breath.Hu: Ahogy közelebb merészkedtek, halk zajok törtek át a csendön.En: As they dared to approach, faint noises broke the silence.Hu: Rebeka megremegett.En: Rebeka shivered.Hu: “Ez csak a szél, ugye?”En: "That's just the wind, right?"Hu: Hirtelen egy férfi jelent meg az ajtó előtt, kezében seprűvel.En: Suddenly, a man appeared in front of the door, holding a broom.Hu: "Ti mit csináltok itt?" kérdezte a gondnok. Arcán halvány mosollyal folytatta.En: "What are you doing here?" asked the caretaker, continuing with a faint smile on his face.Hu: "Ez a ház valójában a város egyik legrégebbi épülete.En: "This house is actually one of the oldest buildings in the city.Hu: Sok érdekes történet kötődik hozzá."En: Many interesting stories are attached to it."Hu: Áron lelkesen kérdezett a ház történelméről, és a gondnok szívesen mesélt nekik.En: Áron eagerly asked about the history of the house, and the caretaker gladly shared them with the kids.Hu: Bár a kísértetekről szóló mesék nem bizonyultak igaznak, Áron elégedetten ment vissza a többiekhez.En: Although the ghost stories did not prove to be true, Áron returned to the others satisfied.Hu: Tudta, hogy barátainak kalandot szerzett, és a saját kíváncsiságát is kielégítette.En: He knew he had provided his friends with an adventure and satisfied his own curiosity.Hu: Visszatérve a csoporthoz, Rebeka mosolygott.En: Returning to the group, Rebeka smiled.Hu: “Jól van, talán mégis létezhetnek rejtélyek.”En: "Alright, maybe mysteries can exist after all."Hu: László, aki eddig visszafogott volt, izgatottan osztotta meg a többiekkel, amit tanultak.En: László, who had been reserved until now, excitedly shared what they learned with the others.Hu: Mindhárman sokat tanultak ezen az őszi napon, és a barátságuk is erősödött.En: All three of them learned a lot on that autumn day, and their friendship also grew stronger.Hu: A nap végére Áron gondolataiban már egy új történet formálódott, de most már tudta, hogy a valóság még érdekesebb lehet.En: By the end of the day, a new story was already forming in Áron's mind, but now he knew that reality could be even more interesting.

fáiról, a hűvös szellő pedig beáramlik a szélesen nyitott ajtókon.En: The leaves slowly fall from the trees in Városliget, and the cool breeze flows in through the wide open doors.Hu: Áron a múzeum impozáns bejáratánál áll, és mély levegőt vesz.En: Áron stands at the museum's impressive entrance and takes a deep breath.Hu: Vágyik arra, hogy újra összekösse a kapcsolatot testvéreivel, Júliával és Bencével.En: He longs to reconnect with his siblings, Júlia and Bence.Hu: Bár a múltban sok félreértés történt közöttük, ma szeretne végre pontot tenni a régóta tartó feszültség végére.En: Although there were many misunderstandings between them in the past, today he wants to finally put an end to the long-standing tension.Hu: Júlia érkezik elsőként.En: Júlia arrives first.Hu: Mindig is imádta a művészetet, és azonnal odavan a múzeum varázsáért.En: She's always loved art, and she's immediately captivated by the magic of the museum.Hu: Széles mosollyal üdvözli Áront, de mindketten érzik a kimondatlan dolgok súlyát.En: With a broad smile, she greets Áron, but both feel the weight of unspoken words.Hu: Nem sokkal később Bence is csatlakozik hozzájuk.En: Not long after, Bence joins them.Hu: Ő a legfiatalabb, és gyakran érzi úgy, hogy nem tud megfelelni idősebb testvéreinek.En: He is the youngest and often feels that he cannot live up to his older siblings.Hu: Ahogy belépnek a múzeum belső tereibe, a magas ablakokon átszűrődő napfény megvilágítja a magyar mesterek műveit.En: As they enter the interior of the museum, the sunlight filtering through the tall windows illuminates the works of Hungarian masters.Hu: Áron vezetni kezdi őket a kiállítások között, remélve, hogy a közös élmények oldják a köztük lévő feszültséget.En: Áron begins to lead them through the exhibitions, hoping that shared experiences will ease the tension between them.Hu: Megállnak egy gyönyörű tájkép előtt, ami mindannyiukat emlékezteti azokra a kirándulásokra, amelyeken még gyerekkorukban vettek részt, együtt a családdal.En: They stop in front of a beautiful landscape painting that reminds them all of those childhood trips they took together with the family.Hu: Azonban, amikor egy másik festmény elé érnek, amely a régen elhunyt édesanyjukat idézi fel bennük, az elfojtott érzelmek felszínre törnek.En: However, when they reach another painting that evokes memories of their long-deceased mother, suppressed emotions surface.Hu: Júlia halkan megjegyzi, mennyire hiányzik neki az anyjuk, és mennyire nehéz volt számára az utóbbi időszak.En: Júlia softly remarks how much she misses their mother and how difficult the recent period has been for her.Hu: Bence beismeri, hogy mindig is azt hitte, nem elég jó, és emiatt távolságot tartott.En: Bence admits that he always thought he wasn't good enough, and hence, kept his distance.Hu: Áron megérti, hogy ő is hozzájárult a félreértésekhez azzal, hogy sosem beszélt őszintén a saját érzéseiről.En: Áron realizes that he also contributed to the misunderstandings by never speaking honestly about his own feelings.Hu: A következő percekben érzelmes vita alakul ki.En: In the following moments, an emotional discussion unfolds.Hu: Az őszinte szavak és könnyek megtörik a jég hideg burkát.En: Candid words and tears break the icy shell of distance.Hu: Bár kezdetben fájdalmas, ez a nyitottság végül közelebb hozza őket egymáshoz.En: While initially painful, this openness ultimately brings them closer.Hu: A festmény előtt összefonódva, a múzeum csendjében, az idő most megállni látszik.En: Entwined in front of the painting, in the silence of the museum, time seems to stand still.Hu: Rájönnek, hogy bár a múltat nem lehet megváltoztatni, de a jelen pillanatait saját döntéseik formálják.En: They realize that although the past cannot be changed, the moments of the present are shaped by their own choices.Hu: Amikor elhagyják a múzeumot, a nap már alacsonyan jár.En: As they leave the museum, the sun is already low in the sky.Hu: Mindhárman érzik, hogy valami megváltozott köztük.En: All three feel that something has changed between them.Hu: A régi sérelmek ellenére újraéledt bennük a kötődés.En: Despite past grievances, a sense of connection has reawakened.Hu: Áron, Júlia és Bence együtt mosolyognak és nevetnek, mintha az évek alatt felgyülemlett távolság sosem létezett volna.En: Áron, Júlia, and Bence smile and laugh together as if the distance accumulated over the years never existed.Hu: Áron ráébred, hogy bár nem tudja tökéletessé tenni a kapcsolatukat, de képes létrehozni olyan pillanatokat, amelyek összekapcsolják őket.En: Áron realizes that, although he cannot make their relationship perfect, he can create moments that connect them.Hu: Júlia úgy érzi, végre meghallgatták és értik őt, míg Bence magabiztosabban tekint a jövőbe, tudva, hogy a helye biztos a családban.En: Júlia feels she has finally been heard and understood, while Bence looks to the future with more confidence, knowing his place is secure within the family.Hu: Így, a napsugárral simogatott őszi nap végén, három testvér nyugalommal a szívében indul haza, készen a jövő kihívásaira, együtt.En: Thus, at the end of this sun-kissed autumn day, the three siblings set off home with peace in their hearts, ready to face the challenges of the future, together.

Ez bizakodással töltötte el Bálintot.En: Your information is a great help." This filled Bálint with reassurance.Hu: A rendőrök gyorsan cselekedtek.En: The police acted quickly.Hu: Nemsokára be is kísérték a tolvajt, akit Bálint felismerni vélt a fényképéről.En: Soon they escorted the thief, whom Bálint thought he recognized from his photograph.Hu: Gábor, a becsületes és türelmes, a kihallgató teremben várta a gyanúsítottat.En: Gábor, honest and patient, awaited the suspect in the interrogation room.Hu: Bálint még sosem került ilyen közel a büntető igazságszolgáltatás világához, és bár sok kétség merült fel benne, tudta, hogy helyesen cselekszik.En: Bálint had never been this close to the world of criminal justice before, and although many doubts arose within him, he knew he was doing the right thing.Hu: Késő este volt már, amikor Bálint kilépett a rendőrségről.En: It was already late in the evening when Bálint left the police station.Hu: A levegő hűvöse ellenére egyfajta melegség töltötte el.En: Despite the coolness of the air, he felt a kind of warmth.Hu: Biztos volt benne, hogy a megfelelő döntést hozta, és ettől a naptól kezdve bátran folytatta tanulmányait.En: He was sure he had made the right decision, and from this day forward, he pursued his studies with confidence.Hu: Tudta, hogy meg fogja találni a saját útját, és ma este már nem volt kétsége afelől, hogy a jövője a törvény szolgálatában van.En: He knew he would find his own path, and tonight he had no doubt that his future lay in the service of the law.Hu: Az utcai zsongásban, ahol a Halloween bulikból hazatérő emberek nevetése hangzott, Bálint lassan ballagott haza, felkészülve arra, hogy bár az erkölcsi dilemmái nem oldódtak meg teljesen, mégis egy fontos lépést tett előre.En: Amidst the street bustle, where the laughter of people returning from Halloween parties could be heard, Bálint slowly strolled home, prepared that, although his moral dilemmas hadn't completely resolved, he had still taken an important step forward.Hu: A jövő most már tisztábban látszott előtte.En: The future now appeared clearer to him.

Story Transcript:Hu: Az őszi napfény játszott a Balaton hullámain, mintha apró, szikrázó ékköveket hintettek volna a víz felszínére.En: The autumn sunlight played on the waves of Balaton, as if tiny, sparkling jewels had been scattered on the surface of the water.Hu: A vörös és narancssárga levelek könnyedén hullottak a partra, kellemes sétákra invitálva a látogatókat.En: The red and orange leaves fell gently onto the shore, inviting visitors for pleasant walks.Hu: Az időjárás hűvös, de barátságos volt, pont alkalmas egy családi összejövetelre.En: The weather was cool but friendly, just right for a family gathering.Hu: Bence a part közelében állt, hallgatta a víz susogását, és mély lélegzetet vett.En: Bence stood near the shore, listening to the whispering of the water, and took a deep breath.Hu: Túl régóta tartozott távol a családjától, és ennek a napnak különlegesnek kellett lennie.En: He had been away from his family for too long, and this day had to be special.Hu: Ma volt a szülei esküvői évfordulója – az a nap, ami újra egyesíthette a családot.En: It was his parents' wedding anniversary – a day that could reunite the family.Hu: A villa, ahol Eszter a találkozót szervezte, közvetlenül a Balaton partján volt.En: The villa where Eszter organized the gathering was directly on the shore of Balaton.Hu: Ahogy Bence belépett a házba, érezte a friss kalács és sült hús illatát, ami mindenkit az étkező asztalhoz vonzott.En: As Bence entered the house, he smelled the aroma of fresh bread and roasted meat, drawing everyone to the dining table.Hu: Eszter, Bence húga, mosollyal fogadta.En: Eszter, Bence's sister, greeted him with a smile.Hu: Bátorítón megölelte bátyját, bár mindketten érzékelték a múlt árnyait.En: She gave him an encouraging hug, although both sensed the shadows of the past.Hu: "Bence, örülök, hogy itt vagy.En: "Bence, I'm glad you're here.Hu: Melegedj meg, ez a nap rólunk és a családunkról szól" – mondta Eszter.En: Warm up, this day is about us and our family," Eszter said.Hu: Bence bólintott, és beljebb ment, ahol a család többi tagja már helyet foglalt.En: Bence nodded and went inside, where the rest of the family had already taken their seats.Hu: Az arculatuk változó volt – néhol barátságos, másutt tartózkodó.En: Their expressions varied – sometimes friendly, other times reserved.Hu: De Bence elhatározta, hogy ma este mindenkit megszólít.En: But Bence decided that tonight he would speak to everyone.Hu: Az asztalnál gyűltek össze, a gyertyák fénye meleg ragyogással töltötte be a szobát.En: They gathered around the table, the candlelight filling the room with a warm glow.Hu: A vacsora közepén Bence intett, hogy mondani szeretne valamit.En: In the middle of dinner, Bence motioned that he wanted to say something.Hu: Minden szem rászegeződött.En: All eyes turned to him.Hu: A falatást elhagyva, mély levegőt vett, majd lassan beszélni kezdett.En: Leaving his mouthful, he took a deep breath, and then slowly began to speak.Hu: "Sziasztok, család.En: "Hello, family.Hu: Régóta tartogatom ezt a szívemben.En: I've held this in my heart for a long time.Hu: Sok minden történt a múltban, amit talán rosszul kezeltem.En: A lot has happened in the past that I may have handled poorly.Hu: De most itt vagyok, hogy bocsánatot kérjek.En: But now I'm here to ask for forgiveness.Hu: Szeretném helyrehozni, amit lehet, és közelebb kerülni hozzátok" – mondta, miközben a hangja kissé elcsuklott.En: I'd like to fix what I can and get closer to you," he said, his voice slightly cracking.Hu: A szobában csend lett.En: Silence fell over the room.Hu: Mindannyian érezték a pillanat súlyát.En: They all felt the weight of the moment.Hu: Eszter állt fel először, megölelte Bencét, szemébe könnyek gyűltek.En: Eszter stood up first, hugged Bence, her eyes filling with tears.Hu: "Mind hibázunk, de a család erről szól.En: "We all make mistakes, but that's what family is about.Hu: Együtt vagyunk.En: We are together.Hu: Együtt megbocsátunk.En: Together, we forgive."Hu: "Ekkor az asztal körül ülők is megszólaltak.En: Then the others around the table began to speak up.Hu: Egymás szavába vágva kezdtek el sorolni régi sérelmeket, de most a szavak már nem voltak élesek.En: Interjecting, they started listing old grievances, but now the words were no longer sharp.Hu: Megértés és megbocsátás hangja töltötte be a teret.En: The sound of understanding and forgiveness filled the space.Hu: Az este végére, a villa tele volt nevetéssel és meséléssel, ahogy a család újra megtalálta egymást.En: By the end of the evening, the villa was filled with laughter and storytelling as the family rediscovered each other.Hu: Bence szívében eltűnt az elszigeteltség érzése, helyette a szeretet és összetartozás töltötte el.En: The feeling of isolation disappeared from Bence's heart, replaced by love and togetherness.Hu: A Balaton partján ezzel a különleges nappal a család újra egységbe kovácsolódott, készen arra, hogy közösen tekintsenek a jövőbe.En: With this special day on the shores of Balaton, the family was forged into unity once more, ready to face the future together.

clinking against cups.Sr: Он је покушавао да постави свој лаптоп тако да Нина, његова девојка која је сада живела у Њујорку, може да га види барем мало јасно преко веб камере.En: He was trying to set up his laptop so that Nina, his girlfriend who now lived in New York, could see him at least somewhat clearly through the webcam.Sr: "Здраво, љубави!En: "Hello, love!"Sr: " узвикнуо је Милош уз широк осмех, иако је лака доза панике блистала у његовим очима када је вликсау интернетска веза почела да пљускне.En: Miloš exclaimed with a wide smile, though a slight hint of panic shimmered in his eyes when the internet connection began to flicker.Sr: Нина се појавила на екрану, осмехујући се са истим шармом који га је сваки пут освојио.En: Nina appeared on the screen, smiling with the same charm that won him over every time.Sr: "Здраво, Милоше!En: "Hello, Miloš!Sr: Како је у Београду?En: How is it in Beograd?"Sr: " питала је, иако је звук долазио са закашњењем.En: she asked, though the sound came with a delay.Sr: Милош је покушао да се концентрише и игнорише све гласове и шиштање окружења.En: Miloš tried to concentrate and ignore all the voices and hissing of the environment.Sr: Одлучио

smiled at Nina, who was happily laughing through the screen, understanding how common their internet battle was.Sr: Пробао је још један кутак, крај прозора, али тамо је била гужва и гласна група људи.En: He tried another corner, by the window, but there it was crowded and there was a loud group of people.Sr: Сав напор да пронађе "савршено место" за њихов виртуелни састанак изгледао је

Story Transcript:Ca: Les fulles de la tardor ballaven al ritme del vent, cobrint els carrers de Barcelona amb un mantell daurat.En: The autumn leaves danced to the rhythm of the wind, covering the streets of Barcelona with a golden blanket.Ca: La ciutat bategava amb la música i el color de la festa de La Mercè.En: The city pulsed with the music and color of the La Mercè festival.Ca: Però un racó discret i una mica descuidat s'amagava de la bullícia: l'orfenat Sant Jordi.En: But a discreet and somewhat neglected corner hid from the hustle: the Sant Jordi orphanage.Ca: Bernat, un jove de poc més de vint anys, es va aturar davant la porta de l'orfenat.En: Bernat, a young man just over twenty, stopped in front of the orphanage door.Ca: Va créixer allà, envoltat de parets que amagaven tantes històries com secretes preguntes que empenyien el seu cor.En: He grew up there, surrounded by walls that held as many stories as secret questions that burdened his heart.Ca: Durant molt de temps, Bernat havia desitjat saber qui eren els seus pares i per què el van deixar.En: For a long time, Bernat had wished to know who his parents were and why they left him.Ca: Quan entrà, els records el van envaïr.En: When he entered, memories overwhelmed him.Ca: Les veus dels nens jugant, l'olor de sopa calenta i el so apacible de les passes dels cuidadors.En: The voices of children playing, the smell of hot soup, and the soothing sound of the caregivers' footsteps.Ca: Però a mesura que creixia, aquests records es difuminaven, igual que els registres de l'orfenat, incomplets i plens de llacunes.En: But as he grew, these memories faded, just like the orphanage's records, incomplete and full of gaps.Ca: Bernat sabia que només una persona podia tenir respostes: el vell cuidador que havia estat una figura paternal per a ell.En: Bernat knew that only one person could have answers: the old caregiver who had been a fatherly figure to him.Ca: Amb determinació, va buscar-lo, esperant que la seva memòria sigui més completa que els registres.En: With determination, he searched for him, hoping his memory would be more complete than the records.Ca: El trobà al jardí, assegut en un vell banc de fusta, on sovint compartien històries i somnis.En: He found him in the garden, sitting on an old wooden bench, where they often shared stories and dreams.Ca: El vell cuidador, amb els cabells platejats pels anys, va mirar Bernat amb una barreja d'afecte i preocupació.En: The old caregiver, his hair silvered by the years, looked at Bernat with a mix of affection and concern.Ca: "Has tornat, Bernat," va dir el vell, amb una veu suau.En: "You've returned, Bernat," the old man said, in a soft voice.Ca: "Sí, vull saber sobre els meus pares.En: "Yes, I want to know about my parents.Ca: Necessito entendre per què em van deixar," va dir Bernat, mirant als ulls del seu antic protector.En: I need to understand why they left me," Bernat said, looking into the eyes of his former protector.Ca: La conversa va ser tensa.En: The conversation was tense.Ca: El vell cuidador va agafar aire i revelà una veritat que mai havia pensat explicar.En: The old caregiver took a deep breath and revealed a truth he had never thought to share.Ca: Els pares de Bernat no l'havien abandonat per voluntat pròpia.En: Bernat's parents had not abandoned him by choice.Ca: Unes circumstàncies

Help?
