Transcript:Hu: A levelek susogtak a repedezett aszfalton, ahogy Zoltán halkan lépkedett a romos utcákon.En: The leaves rustled on the cracked asphalt as Zoltán quietly walked through the ruined streets.Hu: Budapest most kísértet járta hely volt, az élet nyomai már alig emlékeztettek arra, amit valaha ismert.En: Budapest was now a haunted place, the traces of life barely reminded him of what it once was.Hu: Mindenhol omladozó épületek, burjánzó növényzet.En: Crumbling buildings everywhere, luxuriant vegetation.Hu: Az ősz lassan átvette a hatalmat, és a hideg szél megcsípte az arcát.En: Autumn slowly took over, and the cold wind nipped at his face.Hu: Zoltán egyetlen célja az volt, hogy elegendő élelmet és vizet találjon a közeledő télre.En: Zoltán's sole aim was to find enough food and water for the approaching winter.Hu: Egy másik reménye még erősebben hajtotta: valahol itt lehet a húga, akit keres.En: Yet, another hope drove him even more strongly: somewhere here might be his sister, whom he was searching for.Hu: Óvatos volt, mindig a Rejtőző utcákban mozgott, elkerülte az ismeretleneket.En: He was cautious, always moving through the Hidden Streets, avoiding strangers.Hu: A köd mindent elnyelt, de nem rejthette el a magányosságot, ami folyamatosan ott lebegett körülötte.En: The fog swallowed everything but couldn't hide the loneliness that constantly hovered around him.Hu: Egy napon, amikor egy régi szupermarket maradványait kutatta át, Zoltán hangokat hallott.En: One day, while searching through the remnants of an old supermarket, Zoltán heard voices.Hu: Megfordult, készen állva a menekülésre vagy a harcra, de egy nő állt előtte.En: He turned around, ready to flee or fight, but a woman stood before him.Hu: Eszter gyorsan hátralépett, látva Zoltán védekező testtartását.En: Eszter quickly stepped back upon seeing Zoltán's defensive posture.Hu: „Nem akarok ártani” – mondta csendesen.En: "I don't want to harm you," she said quietly.Hu: „Én is túlélő vagyok.En: "I'm a survivor too.Hu: Csak menedéket keresek.En: Just looking for shelter."Hu: ”Zoltán nem bízott benne rögtön.En: Zoltán didn't trust her right away.Hu: Túl sokszor látott már árulást ebben az új világban.En: Too often he'd seen betrayal in this new world.Hu: Eszter azonban más volt.En: However, Eszter was different.Hu: Nem próbált ráerőltetni semmit, csak megosztotta vele

"but you need to help us now.Hu: Nem engedhetjük meg magunknak, hogy mindez kicsússzon a kezünkből.En: We can't afford to let this slip through our fingers."Hu: ”Bence látta nővére komolyságát és megértette a helyzet súlyát.En: Bence saw his sister's seriousness and understood the gravity of the situation.Hu: Nodásait megacélozta, és visszatért Réka mellé.En: He steeled his resolve and returned to Réka's side.Hu: „Igazad van,” mondta csendesen, majd rögtön hozzátette, „de talán később beszélhetnék vele?En: "You're right," he said quietly, and then quickly added, "but perhaps I can talk to him later?"Hu: ”Ennek hallatán Réka elmosolyodott.En: Hearing this, Réka smiled.Hu: „Megyünk oda, ha mindent elrendeztünk,” ígérte.En: "We'll go there once we've taken care of everything," she promised.Hu: Végül a testvérek sikerült alkut kötniük a szomszédos standok eladóival.En: In the end, the siblings managed to make a deal with the sellers at the neighboring stalls.Hu: Réka

last sack of vegetables, Bence hurried over to the trader, who welcomed him with delight.Hu: Ahogy ők hárman hazafelé indultak a piaci nyüzsgésből, Réka rájött, hogy a testvérei vágyait is helyet kell kapniuk a család életében.En: As the three of them headed home from the market bustle, Réka realized that her siblings' desires must also have a place in the family's life.Hu: Bence pedig megértette, hogy az álmai mellett a családi felelősségeket is viselnie kell.En: Bence, in turn, understood that alongside his dreams, he must also bear the family responsibilities.Hu: A piaci kalandjuk így tanulságos, mégis kielégítő módon zárult.En: Their market adventure concluded in a way that was both instructive and satisfying.Hu: Együtt, egy lépéssel közelebb kerültek ahhoz, hogy ne csak a télre, de a jövőre is felkészülten állhassanak.En: Together, they took a step closer to being prepared not just for the winter, but for the future as well.Hu: Az őszi nap lassan nyílt utat a hidegebb hónapoknak, de Réka, Bence és Lajos, az összezárt testvéri kötelék erejével, immár még felkészültebbek voltak minden elébük kerülő kihívásra.En: The autumn sun was slowly paving the way for the colder

Transcript:Nl: Op een frisse herfstmorgen in een geheime laboratorium in Amsterdam, was er van alles gaande.En: On a crisp autumn morning in a secret laboratory in Amsterdam, things were bustling.Nl: Bubbels borrelden in glazen buizen, terwijl de herfstbladeren tegen de ramen fluisterden.En: Bubbles burbled in glass tubes while autumn leaves whispered against the windows.Nl: Onder al dat wetenschappelijke gefluister stonden Sanne en Thijs, omringd door een schijnbaar chaos die hun wereld was.En: Amidst all the scientific whispers stood Sanne and Thijs, surrounded by a seemingly chaotic world that was their own.Nl: Sanne, een ambitieuze botanist met een grote lach, keek bedenkelijk naar een rijtje tulpenzaden.En: Sanne, an ambitious botanist with a big smile, looked pensively at a row of tulip seeds.Nl: Ze wilde iets maken dat de wereld zou verrassen, een unieke plant die kon overleven in veranderende klimaten.En: She wanted to create something that would surprise the world, a unique plant that could survive in changing climates.Nl: Thijs, haar collega, was minder serieus.En: Thijs, her colleague, was less serious.Nl: Hij wilde vooral vandaag geen brokken maken.En: He mainly hoped not to cause any accidents today.Nl: “Wat zou er gebeuren als ik dit nu hier...?” Thijs dacht hardop terwijl hij een fles met licht chemische vloeistof bekeek.En: “What would happen if I did this here...?” Thijs wondered aloud as he looked at a bottle of light chemical liquid.Nl: Voor hij het wist, struikelde hij over een plattegrond van het lab.En: Before he knew it, he stumbled over the lab's floor plan.Nl: De vloeistof vloog de lucht in en viel rechtstreeks op Sanne's zaden.En: The liquid flew into the air and landed right on Sanne's seeds.Nl: “O nee!” riep Thijs, toen hij de knoeiboel zag.En: “Oh no!” Thijs exclaimed, seeing the mess.Nl: Sanne draaide zich om, half geïrriteerd, half geamuseerd.En: Sanne turned around, half annoyed, half amused.Nl: “Wat heb je nu weer gedaan?” Maar voordat ze het konden behandelen, begon een van de tulpen te groeien en te kronkelen.En: “What have you done this time?” But before they could address it, one of the tulips began to grow and twist.Nl: Hij leek... levend?En: It seemed... alive?Nl: “Hallo!” zei de tulip onverwachts, met een helder stemmetje.En: “Hello!” said the tulip unexpectedly, with a bright little voice.Nl: Sanne lachte, verbaasd.En: Sanne laughed, amazed.Nl: Thijs daarentegen was bleek van schrik.En: Thijs, on the other hand, turned pale with fright.Nl: Hij tikte op Sanne's arm, “Dit moeten we verbergen!” Maar Sanne wilde dit bijzondere ding juist tonen.En: He tapped Sanne's arm, “We need to hide this!” But Sanne wanted to show this special thing.Nl: Dit was iets nieuws, iets fantastisch.En: This was something new, something fantastic.Nl: Ze besloot om het aan hun baas te laten zien.En: She decided to show it to their boss.Nl: Misschien was dit de doorbraak waar ze op had gewacht.En: Maybe this was the breakthrough she had been waiting for.Nl: Toen de baas binnenkwam, had Thijs zich bijna achter een plant verstopt van de zenuwen.En: When the boss entered, Thijs almost hid behind a plant out of nerves.Nl: Sanne glimlachte zelfverzekerd.En: Sanne smiled confidently.Nl: “Kijk, een pratende tulp”, zei ze, haar ogen glinsterden van trots.En: “Look, a talking tulip,” she said, her eyes sparkling with pride.Nl: Precies op dat moment begon de tulp te zingen over de avonturen in het lab.En: Just then, the tulip started to sing about the adventures in the lab.Nl: Het verklapte per ongeluk wat geheimen van Thijs' ongelukken, waarbij hij zijn thermosfles gemorst had op hun onderzoeksrapporten en een keer per abuis de ver uiteen liggende zaaischema's door elkaar had gemixed.En: It accidentally revealed some secrets of Thijs' mishaps, like when he spilled his thermos on their research reports and once accidentally mixed up the widely spaced planting schedules.Nl: De baas keek opgetogen, niet boos.En: The boss looked delighted, not angry.Nl: “Weet je,” zei hij lachend, “dit is perfect voor ons Halloweenfeest!En: “You know,” he said with a laugh, “this is perfect for our Halloween party!Nl: Wat een grap, een pratende tulp!En: What a joke, a talking tulip!Nl: Kinderen zullen het fantastisch vinden.” Sanne en Thijs keken elkaar aan, met opluchting verspreid over hun gezichten.En: The kids will love it.” Sanne and Thijs looked at each other, relief spreading across their faces.Nl: Thijs moest lachen, zijn zorgen vervlogen als bladeren in de wind.En: Thijs had to laugh, his worries fading like leaves in the wind.Nl: Sanne zag in dat niet alles volgens verwachting hoeft te verlopen om succesvol te zijn.En: Sanne realized that not everything has to go as planned to be successful.Nl: De pratende tulp stond nog met een brede glimlach in de hoek van het lab, een onverwachte nieuwe ster.En: The talking tulip stood with a broad smile in the corner of the lab, an unexpected new star.Nl: Sanne leerde te waardeer wat ze niet had gepland.En: Sanne learned to appreciate what she hadn't planned.Nl: En Thijs vond zelfvertrouwen in zijn zogenaamde mislukkingen.En: And Thijs found confidence in his so-called failures.Nl: Zo werd een simpele mix-up een vrolijke verrassing, en het lab vulde zich niet alleen met wetenschap, maar ook met plezier en onverwachte kansen.En: Thus, a simple mix-up became a joyful surprise, and the lab filled not only with science but also with fun and unexpected opportunities.

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.

Transcript:Ca: Enmig de la quietud suau de la biblioteca de l'escola, Llúcia i Marc s'asseien junts a una taula de fusta esmolada pel temps.En: Amidst the gentle stillness of the school library, Llúcia and Marc sat together at a wooden table worn smooth by time.Ca: A fora, les fulles ballaven als arbres en un ballet de colors càlids, un recordatori viu de la tardor que envoltava l'escola.En: Outside, the leaves danced on the trees in a ballet of warm colors, a vivid reminder of the autumn that surrounded the school.Ca: Els prestatges alts, plens de llibres gastats amb històries oblidades, donaven al lloc una sensació de saviesa antiga.En: The tall shelves, filled with books worn with forgotten stories, lent the place an air of ancient wisdom.Ca: Llúcia, amb els seus apunts perfectament ordenats i un planificador ple de tasques de color, cercava concentrar-se en l'examen d'història que s'apropava.En: Llúcia, with her perfectly organized notes and a planner full of color-coded tasks, was trying to focus on the upcoming history exam.Ca: Els seus ulls es movien de la pàgina als apunts, del passat al present, amb una determinació implacable.En: Her eyes moved from the page to the notes, from past to present, with relentless determination.Ca: A la seva esquerra, Marc estava assegut, jugant amb un bolígraf entre els dits, els seus ulls brillants buscant qualsevol cosa menys els llibres.En: To her left, Marc sat, toying with a pen between his fingers, his bright eyes looking for anything but the books.Ca: —Ei, Llúcia, —va dir Marc amb un somriure ample—.En: "Hey, Llúcia," Marc said with a wide smile.Ca: Què et sembla si abans fem una pausa i parlem una mica?En: "How about we take a break and chat for a bit first?"Ca: Llúcia va aixecar la vista, dubtant.En: Llúcia looked up, hesitating.Ca: Marc tenia un encant natural que feia difícil ignorar-lo, però ella sabia que cada minut comptava.En: Marc had a natural charm that made him hard to ignore, but she knew that every minute counted.Ca: Sentia la temptació de mantenir-se ferma i dir-li que no tenien temps per perdre.En: She felt tempted to stand firm and tell him that they didn't have time to lose.Ca: Però, just en aquell moment, una idea va sorgir-li al cap.En: But at that very moment, an idea struck her.Ca: —Marc, què et sembla —va començar en un to nou—, si fem preguntes d'història com si fos un joc?En: "Marc, how about," she began in a new tone, "we make history questions like it's a game?"Ca: Marc va arxar les celles interessat.En: Marc raised his eyebrows, interested.Ca: —Un joc?En: "A game?Ca: M'encanten els jocs!En: I love games!"Ca: Llúcia va somriure i va començar a fer preguntes tipus concurs.En: Llúcia smiled and began asking quiz-like questions.Ca: Cada resposta correcta feia que Marc estigués més implicat i, sense adonar-se'n, estava aprenent.En: Each correct answer got Marc more engaged, and without realizing it, he was learning.Ca: Ell reia i es divertia, mentre ella començava a relaxar-se.En: He laughed and enjoyed himself, while she began to relax.Ca: Els concurs de preguntes els havia portat a una col·laboració inesperada.En: The quiz had led them to an unexpected collaboration.Ca: Amb el pas del temps, el sol va començar a baixar per l'horitzó, projectant ombres llargues al terra de la biblioteca.En: As time passed, the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows on the library floor.Ca: La sessió de repàs va arribar a la seva fi.En: The review session came to an end.Ca: Llúcia es va sentir molt més segura sobre l'examen, plena d'una energia nova, no només de coneixement, sinó també de versatilitat.En: Llúcia felt much more confident about the exam, filled with new energy, not only from knowledge but also from versatility.Ca: —Llúcia, això ha estat divertit —va comentar Marc, recolzant-se a la cadira—.En: "Llúcia, that was fun," Marc commented, leaning back in the chair.Ca: Mai hauria cregut que estudiant aprendre coses podria ser-ho.En: "I never would've thought that studying and learning things could be so enjoyable."Ca: Ella va somriure i va tancar els apunts amb satisfacció.En: She smiled and closed her notes with satisfaction.Ca: —Només cal saber com girar la tàctica.En: "You just have to know how to turn the tactic around.Ca: Gràcies a tu hem fet un bon equip.En: Thanks to you, we made a great team."Ca: Tots dos es van aixecar mentre el bibliotecari apagava les llums suaus.En: They both stood up while the librarian turned off the softly glowing lights.Ca: Llúcia va entendre que, de tant en tant, podia permetre's sortir de la seva rutina habitual.En: Llúcia realized that every now and then, she could afford to step out of her usual routine.Ca: Mentrestant, Marc va caminar al costat d'ella, sorprès que una tarda d'estudi pogués acabar amb tan bon humor, descobrint que el coneixement pot ser tan ple d'energia com una aventura.En: Meanwhile, Marc walked beside her, surprised that a study afternoon could end in such good spirits, discovering that knowledge can be as full of energy as an adventure.Ca: Els dos van sortir de la biblioteca amarant-se del fred de novembre, fent passos entre les fulles que cruixien dolçament sota els seus peus.En: The two left the library enveloped in the chill of November, stepping among the leaves that crunched softly under their feet.Ca: Llúcia havia après a afegir un toc d'espontaneïtat a la seva vida estudiantil i Marc va trobar una nova estima per a l'aprenentatge viu i juganer.En: Llúcia had learned to add a touch of spontaneity to her student life, and Marc found a newfound appreciation for lively and playful learning.Ca: La tardor, amb la seva màgica transformació, havia marcat també un canvi en tots dos, dins mateix de la petita biblioteca de l'escola.En: Autumn, with its magical transformation, marked a change in both, right within the small school library.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Autumn Confessions: Love Blossoms on the Amalfi Coast Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-11-22-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Az ősz beköszöntött az Amalfi-parton, ahol a narancs és sárga levelek színesítették a tájat.En: Autumn arrived on the Amalfi Coast, where the orange and yellow leaves colored the landscape.Hu: A tenger mélykékje mindenkit elbűvölt, akik a part mentén sétáltak.En: The deep blue of the sea enchanted everyone who walked along the shore.Hu: Zoltán és Éva régóta barátok voltak.En: Zoltán and Éva had been friends for a long time.Hu: Egy csoport közös barátjukkal érkeztek a festői tájra.En: They arrived with a group of mutual friends to the picturesque scenery.Hu: Éva mindig kalandos szellem volt.En: Éva always had an adventurous spirit.Hu: Most is előreszaladt, miközben Zoltán lassan andalgott mögötte, elmerülve saját gondolataiban.En: Even now, she ran ahead while Zoltán strolled leisurely behind her, lost in his own thoughts.Hu: Évek óta érzett valamit Éva iránt, ami többről szólt, mint barátság.En: For years, he had felt something for Éva that went beyond friendship.Hu: Soha nem volt elég bátor ahhoz, hogy ezt elmondja neki.En: He had never been brave enough to tell her.Hu: Félt a visszautasítástól.En: He was afraid of rejection.Hu: Rettegett attól, hogy elveszíti Éva barátságát.En: He was terrified of losing Éva's friendship.Hu: Most azonban, a szellő és a hullámok lágy hangjai között, úgy érezte, hogy eljött az idő.En: Now, however, amidst the gentle sounds of the breeze and waves, he felt that the time had come.Hu: Éva, bár nem tudott Zoltán érzéseiről, nemrég kezdte elgondolkodni, hogy talán van valami több is kettejük között.En: Éva, although unaware of Zoltán's feelings, had recently started to wonder if there might be something more between them.Hu: Mostanában egy bonyolult kapcsolatban volt, de Zoltán mindig is különleges helyet foglalt el a szívében.En: She was currently in a complicated relationship, but Zoltán had always held a special place in her heart.Hu: Egyik délután a csoport a part mentén sétált, amikor Zoltán és Éva egy kis, eldugott strandra tévedtek.En: One afternoon, the group was walking along the shore when Zoltán and Éva wandered onto a small, secluded beach.Hu: A többiek lemaradtak, így ketten maradtak a csendben, csak a tenger halk zúgása hallatszott.En: The others lagged behind, leaving the two of them alone in the silence, with only the soft murmuring of the sea audible.Hu: "Itt gyönyörű" – mondta Éva mosolyogva.En: "It's beautiful here," Éva said with a smile.Hu: "Te mit gondolsz, Zoltán?En: "What do you think, Zoltán?"Hu: ""Éva… szeretnék neked mondani valamit.En: "Éva… I want to tell you something."Hu: " Zoltán szíve hevesen dobogott, majd nagy levegőt vett.En: Zoltán's heart was pounding as he took a deep breath.Hu: "Évek óta gondolok ránk, nem csak mint barátokra," kezdte félénken.En: "I've been thinking about us for years, not just as friends," he began timidly.Hu: "Nagyon bátor lenne részemről azt mondani, hogy szerelmes vagyok beléd.En: "It would be very bold of me to say that I'm in love with you."Hu: "Éva szava elakadt a döbbenettől.En: Éva was struck dumb with astonishment.Hu: Sosem gondolta volna, hogy Zoltán így érez.En: She had never imagined that Zoltán felt this way.Hu: Zoltán nyitott, őszinte tekintete egyfajta nyugalmat árasztott.En: Zoltán's open, honest gaze exuded a sense of calm.Hu: Zoltán kitartóan nézett a szemébe, és Éva érezte a hitelességet a szavaiban.En: Zoltán looked persistently into her eyes, and Éva sensed the authenticity in his words.Hu: "Én…" kezdte Éva, próbálva megfogalmazni érzelmeit.En: "I…" Éva began, trying to articulate her feelings.Hu: "Sosem gondoltam volna, de az utóbbi időben, én is elgondolkodtam arról, hogy talán van több is köztünk, mint barátság.En: "I never would have thought, but lately, I've been wondering if there's more between us than just friendship."Hu: "Mindketten csendben álltak egy pillanatig, ahogy az ősz szellő játszadozott körülöttük.En: Both stood in silence for a moment as the autumn breeze played around them.Hu: Tudták, hogy ez komoly beszélgetést igényel, különösen Éva bonyolult kapcsolata miatt.En: They knew this required a serious conversation, especially considering Éva's complicated relationship.Hu: De ez az őszinte pillanat megnyitotta az ajtót számukra egy új lehetőség előtt.En: But this honest moment opened the door for them to a new possibility.Hu: Eldöntötték, hogy együtt fognak beszélni a lehetőségekről és a jövőről, miközben sétáltak vissza a csoporthoz.En: They decided to talk together about the possibilities and the future as they walked back to the group.Hu: Zoltán érezte, hogy a szíve könnyebb lett, és Éva új szemmel nézett barátjára.En: Zoltán felt his heart become lighter, and Éva looked at her friend with new eyes.Hu: Ez az út talán nem várt eredményt hozott, de mindkettejük életét új irányba terelte.En: This trip may have brought an unexpected outcome, but it steered both their lives in a new direction.Hu: A partvidék naplementében fürdőző színei között Zoltán és Éva kezdték újragondolni, mit is jelent számukra a barátság és a szerelem ezen a varázslatos helyen, ahol minden lehetségesnek tűnt.En: Amidst the sunset-drenched colors of the coastline, Zoltán and Éva began to rethink what friendship and love meant to them in this magical place where everything seemed possible.
