Story Transcript:
Sk: Marek kráča chodbou nemocnice v Bratislave.
En: Marek walks down the hospital corridor in Bratislava.
Sk: Zima je v plnom prúde a cez veľké okná padá jemný sneh.
En: Winter is in full swing, and light snow is falling through the large windows.
Sk: Chodba je plná ľudí.
En: The corridor is filled with people.
Sk: Marek cíti chlad, ale aj teplo.
En: Marek feels both cold and warmth.
Sk: Viacero červených a bielych svetiel bliká nad dverami izieb.
En: Several red and white lights are blinking above the room doors.
Sk: Vie, že Lucia je niekde tam. Jeho staršia sestra.
En: He knows that Lucia is somewhere there—his older sister.
Sk: Marek sa cíti stratený.
En: Marek feels lost.
Sk: Už niekoľko rokov pracuje v rôznych zamestnaniach, ale žiadne ho nenapĺňa.
En: He has been working various jobs for several years, but none fulfill him.
Sk: Lucia, jeho sestra, je sestrička.
En: Lucia, his sister, is a nurse.
Sk: Vie, čo robí a je v tom dobrá.
En: She knows what she's doing and is good at it.
Sk: Marek ju obdivuje, ale má pocit, že musí ísť vlastnou cestou.
En: Marek admires her, but he feels that he must find his own path.
Sk: Dnes ju prišiel navštíviť, dúfa, že jej rady mu pomôžu rozhodnúť sa.
En: Today he came to visit her, hoping her advice will help him decide.
Sk: Lucia má prestávku, sedí v malej miestnosti pre personál a pije čaj.
En: Lucia is on a break, sitting in a small staff room drinking tea.
Sk: Keď Marek otvára dvere, usmieva sa.
En: When Marek opens the door, she smiles.
Sk: "Ahoj Marek, som rada, že si prišiel."
En: "Hi Marek, I'm glad you came."
Sk: Marek sa posadí vedľa nej.
En: Marek sits down next to her.
Sk: "Lucia, neviem, čo mám robiť. Cítim sa stratený."
En: "Lucia, I don't know what to do. I feel lost."
Sk: Lucia počúva so záujmom.
En: Lucia listens with interest.
Sk: "Chceš ísť mojou cestou, alebo hľadáš svoju vlastnú?"
En: "Do you want to follow my path or are you looking for your own?"
Sk: Marek zaváha.
En: Marek hesitates.
Sk: "Neviem. Obdivujem ťa, ale nie som v tom istý."
En: "I don't know. I admire you, but I'm not sure."
Sk: Lucia sa zamyslí a povie: "Vieš, Marek, aj ja som raz bola stratená.
En: Lucia thinks for a moment and says, "You know, Marek, I was once lost too.
Sk: Keď som začala pracovať, pochybovala som o sebe.
En: When I started working, I doubted myself.
Sk: Pochybovala som, či to zvládnem.
En: I doubted if I could manage.
Sk: Ale učila som sa z každej situácie."
En: But I learned from every situation."
Sk: Marek je prekvapený.
En: Marek is surprised.
Sk: "Naozaj? Vždy som myslel, že si vedela, čo robíš."
En: "Really? I always thought you knew what you were doing."
Sk: "Nie vždy," odpovedá Lucia.
En: "Not always," Lucia replies.
Sk: "Ale moja tvrdohlavosť mi pomohla.
En: "But my stubbornness helped me.
Sk: Nechcela som sa vzdať.
En: I didn't want to give up.
Sk: Chceš vedieť tajomstvo? Nie je hanba mať pochybnosti."
En: Do you want to know a secret? It's not shameful to have doubts."
Sk: Marek sa usmeje.
En: Marek smiles.
Sk: "Ďakujem, Lucia. Cítim sa lepšie."
En: "Thank you, Lucia. I feel better."
