Story Transcript:
Hr: Jesen je bila u punom zamahu na sveučilištu.
En: Autumn was in full swing at the university.
Hr: Lišće je padalo i stvaralo zlatni pokrivač po kampusu.
En: The leaves were falling, creating a golden blanket across the campus.
Hr: Ivana je promatrala užurbanu atmosferu u studentskom domu.
En: Ivana observed the bustling atmosphere in the dormitory.
Hr: Svi su se pripremali za Dan zahvalnosti, no njoj je sve to bilo pomalo strano.
En: Everyone was preparing for Thanksgiving Day, but to her, it was all somewhat foreign.
Hr: Nedostajala joj je Hrvatska.
En: She missed Hrvatska.
Hr: Odlučila je sudjelovati u jednoj od volonterskih akcija na uređenju povijesne lokacije.
En: She decided to participate in one of the volunteer actions for renovating a historical site.
Hr: Bio je to stari kip na kampusu, pomalo zaboravljen, ali pun povijesti.
En: It was an old statue on campus, somewhat forgotten but full of history.
Hr: Ivana je željela upoznati nove ljude i osjetiti povezanost s okruženjem.
En: Ivana wanted to meet new people and feel a connection to her surroundings.
Hr: Na samom početku događaja, Ivana je susrela Marka.
En: At the very start of the event, Ivana met Marko.
Hr: Bio je student arhitekture, zainteresiran za povijesne znamenitosti.
En: He was an architecture student, interested in historical landmarks.
Hr: Iako je isprva bio fokusiran na zadaće, primijetio je Ivaninu strast.
En: Although he was initially focused on his tasks, he noticed Ivana's passion.
Hr: "Zanimaju te povijesna mjesta?
En: "Are you interested in historical places?"
Hr: " upitao ju je dok su zajedno uklanjali lišće oko kipa.
En: he asked her as they were clearing leaves around the statue.
Hr: "Najviše na svijetu," odgovorila je Ivana s osmijehom.
En: "More than anything in the world," replied Ivana with a smile.
Hr: Dok su zajedno radili, Marko je odlučio otvoriti se i podijeliti svoju ljubav prema arhitekturi.
En: As they worked together, Marko decided to open up and share his love for architecture.
Hr: Ivana je pažljivo slušala, osjećajući da napokon netko dijeli iste interese.
En: Ivana listened intently, feeling that finally someone shared her interests.
Hr: Ubrzo su otkrili zanimljivu činjenicu o kipu.
En: Soon they discovered an interesting fact about the statue.
Hr: Malo tko je znao da je postavljen u čast starom rektoru, koji je imao veliku ulogu u osnivanju sveučilišta.
En: Few people knew that it was erected in honor of an old rector who played a significant role in founding the university.
Hr: Zaintrigirani, Ivana i Marko odlučili su istražiti priču dalje.
En: Intrigued, Ivana and Marko decided to delve deeper into the story.
Hr: Nakon događaja, krenuli su u knjižnicu i pretraživali stare knjige i arhive.
En: After the event, they headed to the library and searched through old books and archives.
Hr: Noć je brzo prolazila dok su listali stranice i otkrivali sve više detalja o rektoru i njegovom djelovanju.
En: The night quickly passed as they flipped through pages, uncovering more details about the rector and his contributions.
Hr: Dok je hladan vjetar šuštao kroz drveće, sjedili su ispred studentskog doma i razgovarali.
En: While the cold wind rustled through the trees, they sat in front of the dormitory and talked.
Hr: "Mislim da bi ovaj kip trebao imati više pažnje," rekao je Marko.
En: "I think this statue deserves more attention," said Marko.
Hr: "Slažem se," kimnula je Ivana.
En: "I agree," nodded Ivana.
Hr: Tog trenutka, shvatila je da više nije sama.
En: At that moment, she realized she was no longer alone.
Hr: Tijekom njihovih razgovora, Ivana je osjetila toplinu doma.
En: During their conversations, Ivana felt the warmth of home.
Hr: Njena nostalgija za Hrvatskom lagano je nestajala jer je pronašla prijatelja s kojim će istraživati svijet povijesti.
En: Her nostalgia for Hrvatska was slowly fading because she found a friend with whom she would explore the world of history.
Hr: Marko je shvatio kako su ovakvi trenuci jednako važni kao i akademske obaveze.
En: Marko realized how moments like these were just as important as academic obligations.
Hr: S obećanjem da će zajedno istražiti još povijesnih mjesta, Ivana i Marko su se rastali s osmijehom na licu.
En: With a promise to explore more historical places together, Ivana and Marko parted with smiles on their faces.
Hr: Tjeskoba je nestala, a nova prijateljstva potvrdila su da su povezanost i povijest važni.
En: The anxiety disappeared, and new friendships confirmed that connection and history were important.
Hr: Za Ivanu, svijet oko nje postao je malo topliji i zanimljiviji.
En: For Ivana, the world around her became a little warmer and more interesting.
