Sl: Bil je poln energije in smehljal se je, čeprav ga je bolelo srce.
En: He was full of energy and smiling, even though his heart was aching.

En: He had recently broken up with his girlfriend and hoped this hike would cheer him up.

Sl: Mateja je hodila za njim.
En: Mateja walked behind him.

En: Suddenly, they heard thunder.

Sl: Meteo se je strinjala, da je čas, da se ustavijo in poiščejo zavetje.

Sl: "Kaj se dogaja s tabo, Anže?
En: "What's going on with you, Anže?"

Sl: " je vprašala.
En: she asked.

Sl: "Ne moremo nadaljevati tako.
En: "We can't keep going like this."

Sl: "Anže je vzdihnil.
En: Anže sighed.

Sl: "Potrebujem to," je priznal.
En: "I need this," he admitted.

Sl: "Gledala ga je sočutno.
En: She looked at him with compassion.

Sl: "Razumem, ampak smo tukaj skupaj.
En: "I understand, but we are here together.

Sl: Ni nam lahko, tudi meni ne.
En: It's not easy for any of us, even for me."

Sl: "Tomaž je opazoval in vedel, da je čas, da tudi on deli svoje skrbi.
En: Tomaž, watching, knew it was time to share his concerns too.

Sl: "Tudi jaz rabim vašo podporo," je rekel.
En: "I also need your support," he said.

Sl: "Ne vem, če naj sprejmem novo službo ali ostanem v sedanji.
En: "I don't know whether to take the new job or stay in my current one."

Sl: "Po teh iskrenih pogovorih so našli zavetje pod veliko skalo.
