the scent of greenery.Sv: Men inne i den kala, sterila vänthallen kändes håglösheten tung.En: But inside the bare, sterile waiting hall, the despondency felt heavy.Sv: Johann satt på en hård plaststol och tittade med tom blick mot den vita väggen mitt emot.En: Johan sat on a hard plastic chair and stared emptily at the white wall opposite.Sv: Det gröna skenet från lysrören reflekterades i det blankslitna golvet, medan avlägsna samtal och det dämpade pipandet av maskiner fyllde bakgrunden.En: The green glow from the fluorescent lights reflected on the shiny floor, while distant conversations and the muffled beeping of machines filled the background.Sv: Johan försökte leda bort tankarna från rädslan som grep honom och tvingade sig själv att andas djupt.En: Johan tried to steer his thoughts away from the fear that gripped him and forced himself to breathe deeply.Sv: Men oron för Lena tyngde honom.En: But the worry for Lena weighed on him.Sv: Hon hade plötsligt blivit

also gave him a knot in his stomach.Sv: Deras relation hade alltid varit lite skev, som en båt som driver närmare och längre bort beroende på tidvatten.En: Their relationship had always been a bit skewed, like a boat drifting closer and further away depending on the tide.Sv: Beslutsamt plockade Johan upp mobilen och skickade ett kort meddelande till Erik.En: Determined, Johan picked up his

Transcript:Hu: A jégmezők végtelen fehérségében, ahol a horizont és az ég szinte összeolvad, három eltökélt kutató kezd neki izgalmas kalandjának.En: In the endless whiteness of the ice fields, where the horizon and sky almost merge, three determined researchers embark on their exciting adventure.Hu: Bálint, a csendes ökológus, szakadt bakancsával lépett a hóra.En: Bálint, the quiet ecologist, stepped onto the snow with his worn-out boots.Hu: Bár szívét különös izgalom fűtötte, félelmek lengték körül, ahogy a többiekkel kellett dolgoznia.En: Although his heart was fueled by peculiar excitement, fears surrounded him as he had to work with others.Hu: Anikó, a kamerájával felszerelkezve, már a jéghegyek árnyékában próbálta elkapni a sarki rókák ritka pillanatait.En: Anikó, equipped with her camera, was already in the shadows of the icebergs trying to capture the rare moments of arctic foxes.Hu: Nevetése olykor megtörte a tundra csendjét, ahogy próbálta átadni a pillanat szépségét.En: Her laughter occasionally broke the silence of the tundra as she tried to convey the beauty of the moment.Hu: Mellette Gábor, az expedíció tapasztalt vezetője, zord arccal mérlegelte a helyzetet.En: Beside her, Gábor, the experienced leader of the expedition, assessed the situation with a stern face.Hu: Az időjárás egyre kiszámíthatatlanabb, és a hóviharok veszélyesen közeledtek, ezt csak ő látta igazán.En: The weather was becoming increasingly unpredictable, and snowstorms were dangerously approaching, which only he truly understood.Hu: Ahogy a nappalok végtelenné nyúltak az állandó napfényben, a csapat előtt álló feladatok hatalmasnak tűntek.En: As the days stretched endlessly in the constant daylight, the tasks ahead of the team seemed immense.Hu: Bálintnak viszont csak egy célja volt: adatokat szerezni a klímaváltozás jeleiről.En: Bálint, however, had only one goal: to gather data on the signs of climate change.Hu: Az ismeretlen veszélyek és saját belső küzdelmei ellenére lépésről lépésre haladt.En: Despite the unknown dangers and his own internal struggles, he proceeded step by step.Hu: Beszélni próbált Anikóval és Gáborral, de a szavak elfogytak a hideg levegőben.En: He tried to talk to Anikó and Gábor, but words ran out in the cold air.Hu: Talán csak a munkája adta neki a pillanatnyi bátorságot.En: Perhaps only his work gave him momentary courage.Hu: Egyik éjszaka, mikor a sátor vászna ellen dühöngött a szél, egy rettegett hír érkezett a műholdas rádión: egy hatalmas vihar közeledik.En: One night, while the wind raged against the tent's canvas, a dreaded message arrived via satellite radio: a massive storm was approaching.Hu: Egy pillanat, egy újabb döntés ideje.En: A moment, another decision's time.Hu: Nyári világosságban is érezni lehetett a viharfelhők árnyékának közeledtét.En: Even in the summer brightness, the approach of the storm clouds' shadow could be felt.Hu: Bálint tekintett Anikóra és Gáborra.En: Bálint looked at Anikó and Gábor.Hu: Egy tervet alkotott meg fejében, amely kockázatos volt, de szükségszerűnek tűnt.En: He devised a plan in his mind that seemed risky but deemed necessary.Hu: "Nincs sok időnk," mondta Bálint halkan, de határozottan.En: "We don't have much time," Bálint said quietly but firmly.Hu: "Gyorsan összegyűjtjük a hiányzó adatokat és indulnunk kell.En: "Let's quickly gather the missing data and we must set off."Hu: "Az ötletük már-már vakmerőségnek tűnt, de más választásuk nem volt.En: Their idea seemed almost reckless, but they had no other choice.Hu: Anikó és Gábor bízott Bálintban, és együtt indultak útnak a jeges pusztában.En: Anikó and Gábor trusted Bálint, and together they set out into the icy wilderness.Hu: Az idő rohamosan telt, de a közös munka meglepte

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Eclipsing the Past: Harmony in Eger's Vineyard Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-05-13-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Az Eger lankás dombjain terül el egy különleges szőlőbirtok.En: On the rolling hills of Eger, there lies a special vineyard.Hu: Itt, a tavaszi szellőben, a szőlőtőkék között, az élet békésen folyik.En: Here, among the vine stocks in the spring breeze, life flows peacefully.Hu: A levegő tele van nyíló virágok illatával és a földből áradó földes aromával.En: The air is filled with the scent of blooming flowers and the earthy aroma emanating from the ground.Hu: A család évszázadok óta ezen a birtokon készít bort.En: The family has been making wine on this estate for centuries.Hu: A bort nemcsak Eger, de az egész utópikus társadalom csodálja az ízéért és a minőségéért.En: The wine is admired not only in Eger, but across the entire utopian society for its taste and quality.Hu: Zsófia szenvedélyesen szereti a bortermelést.En: Zsófia has a passionate love for winemaking.Hu: Gyermekkorától kezdve segített a családnak, és mindig arról álmodott, hogy egyszer ő vezetheti a szőlőbirtokot.En: Since childhood, she has helped the family and always dreamed of one day leading the vineyard.Hu: De a bátyja, László, a jelenlegi vezető.En: But her brother, László, is the current leader.Hu: Ő büszke és makacs ember.En: He is a proud and stubborn person.Hu: Nem akarja beismerni, hogy Zsófiának is megvannak a képességei, és hogy talán segítségre van szüksége.En: He doesn't want to admit that Zsófia has her own abilities and that he might need help.Hu: Éppen az utolsó előkészületeket végzik a szőlőben, amikor megérkezik Elek, a család régi barátja.En: They are just making the final preparations in the vineyard when Elek, an old family friend, arrives.Hu: Elek mindig a béke és a harmónia embere volt.En: Elek has always been a man of peace and harmony.Hu: Most is próbál közvetíteni Zsófia és László között, de ez nem könnyű feladat.En: Even now, he tries to mediate between Zsófia and László, but it is no easy task.Hu: Zsófia elhatározza, hogy aznap végre szembenéz bátyjával.En: Zsófia decides that today she will finally confront her brother.Hu: A nap különleges alkalom, hiszen rövidesen bekövetkezik egy ritka napfogyatkozás.En: The day is a special occasion, as a rare solar eclipse is soon to occur.Hu: Ahogy a napfogyatkozás közeledik, az ég egyre sötétebb lesz.En: As the eclipse approaches, the sky grows darker.Hu: A szőlőbirtok elcsendesedik, ahogy a madarak abbahagyják énekeiket.En: The vineyard falls silent as the birds cease their singing.Hu: Zsófia magával hozza az új borkeverékét, amit ő maga fejlesztett ki.En: Zsófia brings her new wine blend, which she developed herself.Hu: László előtt leteszi az üveget, remélve, hogy elnyeri tetszését.En: She puts the bottle in front of László, hoping to win his approval.Hu: — Kóstold meg, Laci — mondja Zsófia csendesen, de határozottan.En: — Taste it, Laci — Zsófia says quietly but firmly.Hu: A nap egyre inkább eltűnik a hold árnyékában, miközben László a pohárba tölt a borból.En: The sun increasingly disappears under the moon's shadow as László pours wine into the glass.Hu: Először csak egy pillanatra megáll, majd lassan kortyol bele.En: He pauses for a moment, then slowly takes a sip.Hu: A bor íze különleges, egyedi, tele szenvedéllyel és gondossággal.En: The taste of the wine is special, unique, full of passion and care.Hu: László hosszan ízlelgeti, majd halkan megszólal: — Ez remek, Zsófia.En: László savors it for a long time, then quietly says: — It's excellent, Zsófia.Hu: Valóban.En: Truly.Hu: A borod csodálatos.En: Your wine is wonderful.Hu: Zsófia megkönnyebbül körülnézve látja, hogy a család tagjai mind figyelik őket.En: Zsófia feels relieved as she sees that the family members are all watching them.Hu: A napfogyatkozás szép lassan véget ér.En: The eclipse slowly ends.Hu: A nap újra felragyog az égen, és az árnyék eltűnik.En: The sun shines again in the sky, and the shadow disappears.Hu: — Dolgozzunk együtt, Zsófia — mondja László eltökélten.En: — Let's work together, Zsófia — László says determinedly.Hu: — Ketten sikeresek lehetünk.En: — Together, we can be successful.Hu: Együtt nézik, ahogy a sötétség teljesen eltávolodik.En: They watch together as the darkness fully recedes.Hu: A szőlőbirtok újból fényben úszik, és velük együtt a családi vita is megoldódik.En: The vineyard is once again bathed in light, and along with it, the family dispute is resolved.Hu: Zsófia érezte, hogy értékelik és megbecsülik.En: Zsófia felt appreciated and valued.Hu: László pedig felismerte, hogy a segítség nem gyengeség, hanem erő forrása is lehet.En: László realized that help is not a sign of weakness but can also be a source of strength.Hu: A nap újra ragyogott, a szőlőbirtok pedig élénken zöldellt.En: The sun shone again, and the vineyard was vibrantly green.Hu: Mindketten mosolyogva néztek egymásra.En: They both looked at each other with a smile.Hu: Együtt, bátran néztek szembe a jövő kihívásaival, tudva, hogy a családért és a borért dolgoznak.En: Together, they bravely faced the challenges of the future, knowing they were working for the family and the wine.
