Story Transcript:
Sl: Veter je šumel med oranžnimi in rdečimi listi.
En: The wind rustled among the orange and red leaves.
Sl: V pisarni v Ljubljani je bilo živahno.
En: The office in Ljubljana was lively.
Sl: Računalniki so brneli, telefoni so zvonili, in papirji so šuščali.
En: Computers hummed, phones rang, and papers rustled.
Sl: Mateja je sedela za svojo mizo, obkrožena s fascikli.
En: Mateja sat at her desk, surrounded by folders.
Sl: Njena organizacijska sposobnost je bila znana povsod po podjetju.
En: Her organizational skills were known throughout the company.
Sl: Ampak danes je njena pozornost nihala.
En: But today, her attention wavered.
Sl: Pogledovala je proti Tomažu, ki je sedel nekaj miz proč.
En: She glanced over at Tomaž, who sat a few desks away.
Sl: Tomaž je bil nedavno napredovan.
En: Tomaž had recently been promoted.
Sl: Bil je zdaj vodja ekipe.
En: He was now the team leader.
Sl: Ponos in pritisk sta ga spremljala vsak dan.
En: Pride and pressure followed him every day.
Sl: Želel je dokazati, da zmore.
En: He wanted to prove that he could handle it.
Sl: Mateja je opazila, da ves čas skrbi zaradi roka, ampak Tomaž ji je deloval drugačen.
En: Mateja noticed that he was constantly worried about the deadline, but Tomaž seemed different to her.
Sl: Videla je, kako se občasno drži za prsi in globoko diha.
En: She saw how he occasionally clutched his chest and took deep breaths.
Sl: Zanimivo je bilo, da tega ni opazil nihče drug.
En: Interestingly, no one else noticed this.
Sl: S časom je bilo stanje slabše.
En: Over time, the situation worsened.
Sl: Mateja je vedela, da moramo biti za sodelavce tu.
En: Mateja knew that we must be there for our coworkers.
Sl: Toda, kako se pogovoriti s Tomažem, ne da bi ga spravila v zadrego?
En: But how to talk to Tomaž without embarrassing him?
Sl: Zbrala je pogum in opazila trenutek, ko sta bila edina v prostorih za pisanje poročil.
En: She summoned the courage and seized a moment when they were the only ones in the reporting room.
Sl: "Tomaž," je začela previdno, "opazila sem, da morda potrebuješ pomoč.
En: "Tomaž," she began cautiously, "I've noticed you might need some help.
Sl: Vse je v redu?
En: Is everything okay?"
Sl: "Tomaž je poskušal nasmehniti, a ni mogel skriti utrujenosti.
En: Tomaž tried to smile, but he couldn't hide his exhaustion.
Sl: "Vse je v redu, res," je odgovoril, a njegov glas je bil šibek.
En: "Everything is fine, really," he replied, but his voice was weak.
Sl: Mateja mu ni verjela.
En: Mateja didn't believe him.
Sl: "Mislim, da bi moral k zdravniku.
En: "I think you should see a doctor.
Sl: Samo za vsak slučaj.
En: Just to be safe."
Sl: "Tomaž se je na njene besede odzval trmasto.
En: Tomaž responded stubbornly to her words.
Sl: "Ne skrbi, Mateja.
En: "Don't worry, Mateja.
Sl: Lahko obvladam.
En: I can handle it."
Sl: " Se je obrnil, a takrat je nenadoma omahnil.
En: He turned away, but then suddenly faltered.
Sl: Panika se je razširila.
En: Panic spread.
Sl: Mateja je hitro poklicala rešilca.
En: Mateja quickly called an ambulance.
Sl: Kmalu je bil Tomaž v bolnišnici.
En: Soon, Tomaž was in the hospita
