Fluent Fiction - Danish: Frozen Pursuit: Mikkel's Quest Through Snow-Covered København Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-06-07-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: I sneen, der dækkede København som et tykt tæppe, gik Mikkel ensomt gennem de øde gader.En: In the snow that covered København like a thick blanket, Mikkel walked alone through the deserted streets.Da: Byen lignede mest af alt en frossen ruin fra en forsvunden verden.En: The city resembled, more than anything, a frozen ruin from a lost world.Da: Biler var efterladt halvt dækket af sne, og de høje bygninger kastede lange, skyggefulde spejlbilleder på den hvide overflade.En: Cars were left half-covered by snow, and the tall buildings cast long, shadowy reflections on the white surface.Da: Mikkel bandt sin tykke jakke tættere om sig i kamp mod den bidende kulde.En: Mikkel tightened his thick jacket around himself in a battle against the biting cold.Da: Han havde kun et mål: at finde Sofie.En: He had only one goal: to find Sofie.Da: De blev skilt under evakueringen, da kaos brød løs.En: They were separated during the evacuation when chaos broke out.Da: Med mennesker der skubbede og råbende soldater, forsvandt Sofie i mængden.En: With people pushing and shouting soldiers, Sofie vanished in the crowd.Da: Siden da havde Mikkel spekuleret på, hvor hun mon kunne være.En: Since then, Mikkel had wondered where she might be.Da: Hans eneste selskab på rejsen var Lars.En: His only company on the journey was Lars.Da: Lars, som engang var en nær ven af familien, virkede nu usikker og tvivlfuld.En: Lars, who was once a close family friend, now seemed uncertain and doubtful.Da: "Vi burde holde os indenby," sagde Lars med en nervøs stemme, mens han så sig omkring.En: "We should stay inside," Lars said with a nervous voice, as he looked around.Da: "Det her er ikke sikkert, Mikkel."En: "This isn't safe, Mikkel."Da: Men Mikkel kunne ikke give op.En: But Mikkel couldn't give up.Da: Hans hjerte negligerede alt håb.En: His heart neglected all hope.Da: "Jeg bliver nødt til at finde hende."En: "I have to find her."Da: Lars sukkede og kiggede på Mikkel.En: Lars sighed and looked at Mikkel.Da: Hans indre konflikt stod malet i ansigtet.En: His inner conflict was written all over his face.Da: "Okay," sagde han til sidst.En: "Okay," he said finally.Da: "Jeg hjælper dig.En: "I'll help you.Da: Men det bliver farligt."En: But it will be dangerous."Da: Som de nærmede sig udkanten af byen, blev situationen farligere.En: As they approached the edge of the city, the situation became more dangerous.Da: Her herskede lovløse bander og scavengers, klar til at angribe enhver fremmed.En: Here, lawless gangs and scavengers reigned, ready to attack any stranger.Da: Mikkel stod over for en gruppe netop af den slags, der pludselig omringede ham.En: Mikkel faced a group just of that kind that suddenly surrounded him.Da: Mikkel mærkede panikken stige, men i samme øjeblik trådte Lars frem ved hans side.En: Mikkel felt panic rising, but at the same moment, Lars stepped forward by his side.Da: Med mod, han syntes at have glemt, kastede Lars sig ind i kampen.En: With courage he seemed to have forgotten, Lars threw himself into the fight.Da: Tilsammen lykkedes det dem at skræmme angriberne væk.En: Together, they managed to scare the attackers away.Da: Rystende men lettet, faldt Mikkel tilbage.En: Shaking but relieved, Mikkel fell back.Da: "Tak, Lars.En: "Thank you, Lars.Da: Jeg ved ikke, hvad jeg skulle have gjort uden dig."En: I don't know what I would have done without you."Da: Mens de trak vejret, og nervesystemet faldt til ro, bemærkede Mikkel et stykke papir flagre i sneen.En: As they caught their breath and their nervous systems calmed, Mikkel noticed a piece of paper fluttering in the snow.Da: Et enkelt blik, og hans hjerte sprang et slag over.En: A single look, and his heart skipped a beat.Da: Det var en besked – en besked fra Sofie.En: It was a message—a message from Sofie.Da: Hun havde været her og efterladt en ledetråd.En: She had been here and left a clue.Da: Lars så over Mikkels skulder og nikkede langsomt.En: Lars looked over Mikkel's shoulder and nodded slowly.Da: Beslutningen var truffet.En: The decision was made.Da: "Så er det nu," sagde han.En: "Now's the time," he said.Da: "Lad os finde hende."En: "Let's find her."Da: Sammen fortsatte de deres rejse, med nyt håb og forbundet af en fornyet forståelse.En: Together, they continued their journey, with new hope and bound by a renewed understanding.Da: Mikkel vidste nu, at Lars' tøven kom af frygt og hans egen pligt.En: Mikkel now knew that Lars's hesitation came from fear and his own duty.Da: Lars havde genfundet værdien af loyalitet.En: Lars had rediscovered the value of loyalty.Da: Den sneklædte by lå stadig tavs og tung omkring dem, men Mikkel og Lars trådte fremad – i søgen efter Sofie, og måske, en ny begyndelse.En: The snow-covered city still lay silent and heavy around them, but Mikkel and Lars moved forward—in search of Sofie, and perhaps, a new beginning.

Lars løftet hodet.En: "Do you remember the hill where we watched the dance on the national day?" Lars lifted his head.No: De hadde vært sammen der, glad under nattens fyrverkeri.En: They had been there together, happy under the night's fireworks.No: De skyndte seg til høyden, med hjerter bankende raskt.En: They hurried to the hill, with hearts racing fast.No: Da de nærmet seg det lille området, begynte en myk duskregn å falle.En: As they neared the small area, a soft drizzle began to fall.No: Kald, men oppmuntrende.En: Cold, but encouraging.No: Og der, fanget i det våte gresset, lå brosjen.En: And there, caught in the wet grass, lay the brooch.No: Glitrende som stjernene i den kommende natten.En: Glittering like the stars in the coming night.No: Lars falt på kne, en blanding av lettelse og glede skylte over ham.En: Lars dropped to his knees, a mix of relief and joy washing over him.No: "Vi fant den!" ropte han mens regndråper blandet seg med gledestårer.En: "We found it!" he shouted as raindrops mixed with tears of joy.No: Med brosjen trygt i hånden, så han på Ingrid og Mikkel.En: With the brooch safely in hand, he looked at Ingrid and Mikkel.No: Han visste nå at han kunne stole på dem, på samme måte som de alltid hadde stolt på ham.En: He knew now that he could rely on them, just as they had always relied on him.No: Tradisjoner er viktige, men mennesker og de vi deler dem med, enda mer.En: Traditions are important, but the people with whom we share them, even more so.No: Det myke regnet kjølte luften, og da de gikk hjemover, var Lars lett til sinns.En: The soft rain cooled the air, and as they walked home, Lars felt lighthearted.No: Han hadde funnet brosjen, men enda viktigere, han hadde funnet sin egen styrke og støtte i sine kjære.En: He had found the brooch, but more importantly, he had found his own strength and support in his loved ones.

Søndagens ukrainske droneangreb på russiske bombefly vil gå over i historien. Men er det et nyt paradigme, der indvarsles – som med slaget ved Port Arthur i 1904 eller Taranto i 1940 – eller er dronekrigen en undtagelse i en konflikt uden luftherredømme?Og hvad med Meloni og Mettes åbne brev til Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol? Har de læst Niels' og Mikkels bog fra 2018 – eller er det blot intentionel politik og slag i luften?Så er der De Radikale, som ikke længere vil lade udlændingepolitikken stå i vejen for et regeringssamarbejde. Har Zenia Stampe rettet op på partiets image som politiske fantaster?

Hvilken model fortæller præcist, hvad BMW er og står for? Det er ikke nødvendigvis den dyreste, hurtigste eller mest kendte BMW, men den model, der har mest München-DNA i sig.For at finde svaret på dette auto-eksistentialistiske spørgsmål har fire inkarnerede bilsnobber sat hinanden stævne i studiet:Anders Bilidt, podcast-debutant, der med ejerskab af mindst 40 BMW'er gennem tiden er hidkaldt som fagdommer. Han har stadig sin første bil, en BMW 2002 TI, hvilket nok også påvirker hans bud på indbegrebet af det Bayerske bilmærke. Anders er dog ikke mere fanboy end, at han til daglig kører Saab (og dermed per definition er en sand hædersmand).Mikkel Skourup Brodin, podcastens mest rummelige deltager, der imidlertid ikke kører Saab, går som vanligt meget systematisk til værks med at finde den rette BMW-model. Det er en længere udredning, men fagdommeren udtrykker stor begejstring over Mikkels bud, ikke mindst fordi den ikke har lædersæder.Adam Estrup, podcastens suverænt ældste deltager, viser med sit bud på indbegrebet af BMW, at han i virkeligheden nok er endnu ældre end han lader syne. Farve- og motorvalget vil ingen underkende, men derfra går det kun ned af bakke. Han har også kun haft fire BMW'er.Stefan Kaas, podcastens vært, har som tidligere BMW-forhandler også stærke meninger om mærkets DNA – og er vel sådan set derfor også en slags fagdommer når alt kommer til alt. I denne udgave af Bilsnobberne er han dog sikker på, at de øvrige deltagere har rottet sig sammen mod ham og hans perfekte bud på Indbegrebet af BMW.Lyt med og find ud af, hvilken bilsnobs model, der vinder. Og lad os høre hvad dit bud på den bedste BMW er? Husk farvekombinationen. Den er meget vigtig!OG igen en stor tak til Bjørn, John og Andrew for at lade os låne begrebet 'Indbegrebet af', fra deres meget anbefalelsesværdige podcast om musik.

som et blødt tæppe på jorden, mens tusindvis af små lys glimtede som diamanter mellem de sneklædte træer.En: Snowflakes settled like a soft blanket on the ground, while thousands of small lights

om sagen.En: Freja and Søren accompanied him, even though they had different opinions on the matter.Da: Mikkel var den, som foreslog, at de skulle undersøge spejlet.En: Mikkel was the one who suggested they investigate the mirror.Da: Det kunne være en farlig opgave, men hans nysgerrighed måtte tilfredsstilles.En: It could be a dangerous task, but his curiosity had to be satisfied.Da: "Tror I virkelig på det her?"En: "Do you really believe in this?"Da: spurgte Freja skeptisk.En: asked Freja skeptically.Da: "Et spejl, der viser noget andet hver nat?En: "A mirror that shows something different every night?Da: Det lyder som en dårlig spøg."En: It sounds like a bad joke."Da: Søren, derimod, så det som en chance.En: Søren, on the other hand, saw it as an opportunity.Da: "Tænk, hvis det er ægte?En: "Think if it's real?Da: Tænk, hvad vi kan opdage om fortiden," sagde han med glød i øjnene.En: Think about what we can discover about the past," he said with a glow in his eyes.Da: De nåede frem til spejlhuset.En: They arrived at the spejlhuset.Da: Inde i den dunkle labyrint ventede spejlet.En: Inside the dim labyrinth awaited the mirror.Da: Det glimtede faretruende i lyset fra de omkringliggende lamper.En: It gleamed menacingly in the light of the surrounding lamps.Da: En brise syntes at komme fra det, selvom stedet var helt lukket.En: A breeze seemed to come from it, even though the place was entirely enclosed.Da: "Jeg kan mærke noget særligt herinde," sagde Søren med en alvorlig mine.En: "I can feel something special in here," said Søren with a serious expression.Da: "Det er som om, nogen eller noget er fanget."En: "It's as if someone or something is trapped."Da: Freja rystede på hovedet, men hun gik alligevel tættere på spejlet.En: Freja shook her head but still moved closer to the mirror.Da: Mikkel observerede dem begge, vidende at denne nat havde en helt særlig stemning.En: Mikkel observed them both, knowing that this night had a very special atmosphere.Da:

være.En: Where there was once a clear image of their reflected faces, there was now only emptiness where Freja's reflection should be.Da: De rykkede sig alle væk, men Mikkels nysgerrighed blev styrket endnu mere.En: They all stepped back, but Mikkel's curiosity was only further strengthened.Da: "Vi må finde ud af, hvad der skete," sagde Mikkel beslutsomt.En: "We must find out what happened," said Mikkel decisively.Da: Hvad hvis en gammel tragedie ventede på at blive løst?En: What if an old tragedy was waiting to be resolved?Da: Mikkel begyndte at forstå, at dette mysterium strakte sig dybere end overfladen.En: Mikkel began to understand that this mystery stretched deeper than the surface.Da: De tre besluttede sig for at arbejde sammen.En: The three decided to work together.Da: Mikkel

Transcript:Da: Det var en stille vinteraften på måneskinsstranden.En: It was a quiet winter evening on the moonlit beach.Da: Månen kastede sit skær over det iskolde vand og den frosne sand, der glitrede som små stjerner.En: The moon cast its glow over the icy water and the frozen sand, which glittered like tiny stars.Da: Freja stod og spejdede ud mod horisonten.En: Freja stood gazing out at the horizon.Da: Hendes tanker kredsede om det fælles kemi-projekt med Mikkel.En: Her thoughts circled around the joint chemistry project with Mikkel.Da: Det var snart Valentinsdag, hvilket var kærkomment for de fleste af deres klassekammerater.En: It was soon going to be Valentine's Day, which was welcome for most of their classmates.Da: Men Freja havde andre bekymringer.En: But Freja had other concerns.Da: Hun ønskede at imponere deres kemilærer, men også, måske endnu mere, at fange Mikkels opmærksomhed.En: She wanted to impress their chemistry teacher but also, perhaps even more, to catch Mikkel's attention.Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding, rettede på sin hue og kiggede tilbage på Mikkel, der langsomt gik op ad stranden mod hende.En: Freja took a deep breath, adjusted her hat, and looked back at Mikkel, who was slowly walking up the beach toward her.Da: Hans afslappede holdning var velkendt, men noget sagde hende, at han var åben for hendes idé.En: His relaxed posture was familiar, but something told her he was open to her idea.Da: Nu skulle hun bare finde modet til at udtrykke det.En: Now she just had to find the courage to express it.Da: "Tak, fordi du kom, Mikkel,"

could get some inspiration here for the project."Da: Mikkel kiggede ud på vandet og nikkede.En: Mikkel looked out at the water and nodded.Da: "Det er flot her.En: "It's beautiful here.Da: Hvad tænkte du på?"En: What were you thinking about?"Da: Freja trak vejret dybt.En: Freja took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg vil virkelig gøre det godt, ikke bare for at bestå.En: "I really want to do well, not just to pass.Da: Jeg vil lave noget særligt."En: I want to create something special."Da: Mikkels øjne mødte hendes, og pludselig virkede han mere interesseret.En: Mikkel's eyes met hers, and suddenly he seemed more interested.Da: "Ja, du har ret.En: "Yes, you're right.Da: Vi kan helt sikkert finde på noget spændende," sagde han med et lille smil.En: We can definitely come up with something exciting," he said with a small smile.Da: Det var et nyt lys i hans øjne.En: There was a new light in his eyes.Da: Sammen gik de langs stranden, snakkende om forskellige idéer, mens de samlede skaller og tang, som kunne bruges i deres projekt.En: Together they walked along the beach, talking about different ideas while collecting shells and seaweed that could be used in their project.Da: Freja mærkede en

innovative angle won both the teachers' and classmates' recognition.Da: Efterfølgende, mens de ryddede op, kom Mikkel hen til Freja.En: Afterwards, as they were tidying up, Mikkel came over to

nyt, en spirende venskab, måske mere.En: They had started as classmates on unfamiliar ground, but she could feel that there was something new, a budding friendship, maybe more.Da: Måneskinsstranden havde ikke kun inspireret deres projekt; den havde også tændt en gnist mellem dem, en vinteraften, hvor alt syntes muligt i måneskinnets blå lys.En: The moonlit beach had not only inspired their

I denne uges afsnit af Småt Brændbart går vi tæt på sidste uges Fashionweek i København sammen med Mikkel Lind Sorgenfrey, der er journalist og han er gået i dybden med modebranchens hykleri. Det er der kommet en vidunderlig artikel ud af fra Mikkels hånd, hvor branchen helt ufrivilligt udstiller sig selv.Vi taler også om Kanye Wests kæmpe PR stunt sammen med konen Bianca Sensori.Det er også gået helt galt for en af de Oscar-nominerede skuespillere, spanske Karla Sofía Gascón, nomineret i kategorien Bedste Skuespillerinde for filmen Emilia Pérez, om en transkønnet mexikansk narkosmugler. Gamle tweets har afsløret hende som en knap så politisk korrekt person og hendes rolle er nu tonet helt ned i PR materialet for Oscar-uddelingen.Vi slutter af med en AI historie om en børnebog, hvor Sebastian Klein og forlaget står for skud.

face.Da: Nyhavn, med sine blinkende lys og farverige huse, havde givet dem et minde, de aldrig ville glemme.En: Nyhavn, with its twinkling lights and colorful houses, had given them a memory they would never forget.Da: Denne jul ville Mikkels kort skille sig ud, ikke for det perfekte billede, men for livets uventede glæde fanget i en enkelt ramme.En: This Christmas, Mikkel's card would stand out, not for the perfect picture, but for the unexpected joy of life captured in a single frame.

Værterne er vågnet op til et lydklip af tidligere præsident Barack Obama, der rapper en Eminem-sang og en historie om, at den sorte svane Amira Smajic måske har været hemmelig agent for politiet. Det er dog ikke det eneste, der er underligt, for Mikkel forsøger at få svaret på, hvorfor så mange prominente Putin-kritikere er faldet ud af vinduer de sidste par år. Så kan Andreas ikke helt finde ud af, om det er synd for de 121 danskere, der hver har mistet knap 300.000 kroner i en bitcoin-svindelsag, som politiet nu har opgivet.

Værter: Mikkel Rosendal, Andreas Kousholt og Liva Manghezi. Medvirkende: Sebastian Richelsen, journalist.
