A2. Dan sa Teodorom

Teodor ima šesnaest godina i dolazi iz jedne male zemlje na Baltiku, Estonije. Živi sa majkom i mlađom sestrom u ovom gradu već skoro tri godine, otkako je majka dobila posao kao grafički dizajner u jednoj internacionalnoj kompaniji. Za Teodora je selidba u novu državu bila teško iskustvo: morao je da nauči novi jezik, da pronađe nove prijatelje, da se navikne na drugačiju školu i drugačije običaje. Ali danas, kada pogleda unazad, oseća da je mnogo sazreo i da je ovaj grad postao njegov drugi dom.

Njegov dan počinje oko sedam ujutru. Alarm ga budi, a on prvo provuče ruku ispod jastuka da ga isključi. Uvek bi spavao još makar pola sata, ali zna da nema vremena. Ustaje polako, isteže se i čuje kako mala sestra Laura već u susednoj sobi priča sa svojim plišanim medom. Teodor se nasmeje i ode u kupatilo. Umiva se hladnom vodom, pere zube i pogleda sebe u ogledalu. Kosa mu je raščupana, ali ne mari — ionako će staviti kapuljaču kada izađe.

Majka je već u kuhinji. Na stolu stoje dve šolje čaja i hleb sa puterom i džemom. Miris je topao i domaćinski. Teodor seda i uzima jedno parče. Majka ga, kao i svako jutro, pita kako se oseća i da li ima neki test tog dana. Teodor lagano slegne ramenima i kaže: „Ne znam, mislim da imam nešto iz hemije.“ Majka se nasmeje i ponudi mu jabuku za kasnije.

U pola osam, Teodor i Laura obuvaju patike i spremaju se da krenu. Majka ih prati do vrata i kaže: „Budite dobri i pazite se.“ Laura se okrene i viče: „Mama, ja sam uvek dobra!“ Teodor joj pomogne da zakopča jaknu i izlaze iz stana.

Do škole imaju petnaest minuta hoda. Ulice su pune učenika, neki idu sami, neki u grupama, a neki žure na autobus. Teodor uvek nosi slušalice i sluša laganu muziku. Laura ide u obližnju osnovnu školu, pa on svako jutro skreće da je ostavi kod ulaza. Ona mu maše i ulazi trčeći, a on nastavlja dalje.

Njegova srednja škola je velika, moderna, sa širokim hodnicima i mnogo prozora. Teodor ulazi, pozdravlja nekoliko poznanika i otvara svoj ormarić da uzme knjige. Prvi čas mu je matematika. Nije mu omiljen, ali profesor je strpljiv i ume da objasni. Teodor sedi u trećoj klupi i izvlači svesku, a profesor odmah počinje da piše zadatke na tabli.

Posle matematike sledi istorija. To mu je mnogo zanimljivije. Danas pričaju o srednjem veku i utvrđenjima. Teodor voli da zamišlja kako su ljudi tada živeli, kako su branili gradove i gradili drvene kuće. Učiteljica pokazuje slike starih tvrđava i cela učionica pažljivo gleda.

Posle drugog časa Teodor ima pauzu od petnaest minuta. Izađe u dvorište da udahne svež vazduh. Nekoliko njegovih drugova stoji ispod drveta i priča. Jedan od njih, Luka, maše mu i zove ga da dođe. Luka je prvi prijatelj koga je Teodor stekao kad je došao u ovu zemlju. On ima glasnu i veselu energiju i često pomaže Teodoru kada ne razume neku reč ili frazu.

„Jesi spreman za kontrolni iz hemije?“ pita Luka.

Teodor pravi grimasu: „Nisam.“

Luka se smeje: „I ja sam zaboravio pola. Biće zanimljivo.“

Posle pauze vraćaju se u učionicu. Čas hemije počinje ozbiljno, ali Teodor se trudi da prati. Profesor objašnjava reakcije, a učenici rešavaju zadatke. Teodor ponešto razume, ponešto ne — ali daje sve od sebe. U jednom trenutku profesor ga poziva da napiše rezultat na tabli. Ruke mu se malo tresu, ali uspeva. Profesor klimne glavom i kaže: „Dobro si uradio.“ Teodor oseti mali ponos.

U podne je vreme ručka. Školska kantina je puna, kao i uvek. Teodor uzima supu i mali sendvič. Sedi sa Lukom i još dve drugarice iz odeljenja, Sarom i Nikolinom. Pričaju o igrama koje igraju, serijama i o tome kako žele da idu na izlet kada proleće počne. Sara predlaže zoološki vrt, Luka kaže da bi radije išao u neki avantura-park, a Teodor razmišlja o tome da bi želeo da poseti obližnje jezero.

Posle ručka imaju još dva časa — geografiju i fizičko. Na geografiji pričaju o rekama i planinama Evrope. Teodor ponekad zamišlja da putuje i obilazi sve te zemlje. Fizičko je njegov omiljeni predmet — igraju košarku, a Teodor je prilično dobar u tome. Visok je i ima brze pokrete. Njegov tim tog dana pobeđuje, pa on izlazi iz sale crven u licu, ali zadovoljan.

U dva sata završava nastavu i kreće kući. Usput svraća u malu prodavnicu da kupi hleb i banane, jer mu je majka poslala poruku: „Molim te, kupi nešto za užinu.“ Kod kuće ga već čeka Laura koja se vratila ranije. Ona mu pokazuje crtež lavirinta koji je nacrtala. „Pogodi gde je izlaz?“ pita ona. Teodor joj odgovara: „Daj da vidim. Hm… ovde!“ Laura počne da se smeje: „Ne, varao si!“

U pola tri majka se vraća s posla. Stavlja torbu na sto i pita ih kako je bilo u školi. Teodor joj priča o hemiji i košarci, a Laura o svojoj igri sa drugaricama. Majka im daje po čašu jogurta i sedaju za sto.

Od tri do četiri je vreme za domaći zadatak. Teodor otvara knjige, zapisuje zadatke iz hemije i matematike. Laura radi svoj domaći iz srpskog jezika, ali često dolazi da ga pita za pomoć: „Kako se piše ovo? A kako se kaže ovo?“ Teodor joj strpljivo objašnjava. Nekad se pretvara da je profesor, pa govori: „Drugari, danas učimo slova!“ Laura se kikotanjem sruši na pod.

Posle domaćeg imaju malo vremena za odmor. Teodor gleda kratak video na telefonu, a Laura gradi kuću od kockica. Majka sprema supu za večeru. U četiri i trideset ona zove: „Deco, idemo u park! Danas je lepo vreme.“

Park je blizu stana. Tamo ima veliki tobogan, klupe i mnogo drveća. Laura odmah trči ka ljuljaškama i traži da je Teodor gura. On to radi nekoliko minuta, a onda ga majka zameni. Teodor sedne na klupu i sluša muziku. U glavi mu se mešaju misli o školi, prijateljima, planovima za budućnost. Ponekad ga plaši ideja da odrasta, ali često ga i raduje — oseća da mu život polako otvara nove puteve.

U pet popodne vraćaju se kući. Majka sprema večeru — pastu sa povrćem — a Teodor postavlja sto. Laura crta srce na papiru i kaže: „Ovo je za vas.“ Teodor je zagrli i kaže: „Ti si najbolja.“

U šest sati sedaju da jedu. Razgovaraju o svemu: o tome šta je Teodor naučio, šta majka radi na poslu, šta Laura želi da ponese u školu sutra. Posle večere svi zajedno peru sudove — Teodor ispira, majka briše, Laura dodaje pribor. Nekad naprave malu igru: ko prvi završi dobija pravo da bira film za vikend.

U sedam i trideset Teodor ima svoj deo dana — vreme da vežba gitaru. Uči da svira već godinu dana. Nije još odličan, ali može da izvede nekoliko melodija. Majka mu kaže da zvuči sve bolje. Laura ponekad sedi pored njega i tapka rukama u ritmu.

U osam majka kaže: „Deco, vreme je za tuširanje.“ Laura odmah beži u kupatilo i pravi polusatnu penušavu zabavu. Teodor se tušira brzo i oblači trenerku. Zatim sedne da čita malo iz knjige koju je pozajmio iz biblioteke — priču o dečaku koji putuje svetom.

U devet majka sprema Lauru za spavanje, a Teodor sklanja svoje knjige. Laura želi da joj Teodor čita priču, pa on sedne pored njenog kreveta i čita pola poglavlja. Ona ga sluša širom otvorenih očiju, ali pred kraj već klizi u san. Majka joj pokriva noge i gasi lampu.

U pola deset Teodor odlazi u svoju sobu. Sedne za sto i proveri poruke — Luka ga pita da li idu u park sutra posle škole. Teodor odgovara: „Može, ako ne bude kiše.“

Konačno se zavali u krevet. Razmišlja o svemu što je danas doživeo — školi, košarci, razgovorima, Lauri, parku. Sve je to običan dan, ali pun malih trenutaka zbog kojih se oseća dobro. Zatvara oči i tiho uzdahne, spreman za novi dan koji ga čeka.

Teodor is sixteen years old and comes from a small Baltic country, Estonia. He has been living with his mother and younger sister in this city for almost three years, ever since his mother got a job as a graphic designer in an international company. The move to a new country was difficult for Teodor at first — he had to learn a new language, find friends, get used to a different school system, and adapt to new customs. But today, when he looks back, he feels he has grown a lot and that this city has become his second home.

His day begins at around seven in the morning. The alarm wakes him, and he reaches under the pillow to turn it off. He always wishes for at least thirty more minutes of sleep, but he knows he doesn’t have time. He gets up slowly, stretches, and hears his little sister Laura talking to her stuffed bear in the next room. Teodor smiles and goes to the bathroom. He washes his face with cold water, brushes his teeth, and looks at himself in the mirror. His hair is messy, but he doesn’t care — he will wear a hoodie anyway.

His mother is already in the kitchen. On the table are two cups of tea and bread with butter and jam. The smell is warm and comforting. Teodor sits and takes a slice. His mother asks, like every morning, how he feels and whether he has any tests that day. Teodor shrugs and says, “I think I have something from chemistry.” His mother smiles and gives him an apple for later.

At 7:30, Teodor and Laura put on their shoes and get ready to leave. Their mother walks them to the door and says, “Be good and take care.” Laura turns and shouts, “Mom, I’m always good!” Teodor helps her zip up her jacket, and they leave the apartment.

It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to school. The streets are full of students — some walk alone, some in groups, some rushing to catch the bus. Teodor always wears his headphones and listens to soft music. Laura’s elementary school is on the way, so he drops her off at the entrance. She waves and runs inside, and he continues walking.

His high school is large and modern, with wide hallways and many windows. Teodor greets a few classmates and opens his locker to take his books. His first class is math. It’s not his favorite, but the teacher is patient and explains well. Teodor sits in the third row and takes out his notebook as the teacher starts writing problems on the board.

After math comes history. That is much more interesting to him. Today they are talking about the Middle Ages and fortresses. Teodor likes imagining how people lived back then and how they defended their towns. The teacher shows pictures of old fortresses, and the whole class watches with interest.

After the second period he has a fifteen-minute break. He goes outside to breathe fresh air. A few of his friends are standing under a tree talking. One of them, Luka, waves at him. Luka was the first friend Teodor made when he came to this country. Luka has loud, cheerful energy and often helps Teodor when he doesn’t understand a word.

“Are you ready for the chemistry quiz?” Luka asks.

Teodor makes a face. “No.”

Luka laughs. “I forgot half, too. It’s going to be fun.”

After the break they go back to class. The chemistry lesson starts seriously, but Teodor tries to follow. The teacher explains reactions, and the students solve tasks. Teodor understands some things, others not — but he tries. At one point, the teacher calls him to write the result on the board. His hands shake a bit, but he manages. The teacher nods: “Good work.” Teodor feels a small moment of pride.

At noon it’s lunchtime. The school cafeteria is full, as always. Teodor gets soup and a small sandwich. He sits with Luka and two girls from their class — Sara and Nikolina. They talk about video games, series, and how they want to go on a trip when spring begins. Sara suggests the zoo, Luka suggests an adventure park, and Teodor thinks he’d like to visit a nearby lake.

After lunch they have two more classes — geography and PE. Geography is about rivers and mountains of Europe. Teodor imagines traveling and seeing all those places. PE is his favorite — they play basketball, and he is pretty good at it. He is tall and moves fast. His team wins, and he leaves the gym red-faced but happy.

At two o’clock school ends. He stops by a small shop to buy bread and bananas because his mother texted him: “Please buy something for snack.” At home Laura is already there. She shows him a maze she drew. “Guess where the exit is?”

Teodor says, “Let me see. Hmm… here!”

Laura laughs: “No! You cheated!”

At 2:30 their mother comes home from work. She puts her bag on the table and asks how school was. Teodor talks about chemistry and basketball; Laura talks about games with her friends. Their mother gives them yogurt, and they sit at the table.

From 3:00 to 4:00 it’s homework time. Teodor opens his books and completes tasks from chemistry and math. Laura does her Serbian homework but keeps asking him for help: “How do I write this? What does this mean?” Teodor explains patiently. Sometimes he pretends to be a teacher: “Children, today we learn letters!” Laura laughs so loud she falls on the floor.

After homework, they have some rest time. Teodor watches a short video on his phone; Laura builds a block house. Their mother cooks soup for dinner. At 4:30 she says: “Kids, let’s go to the park! The weather is nice.”

The park is close. There’s a big slide, benches, and lots of trees. Laura runs to the swings and asks Teodor to push her. After a while, their mother takes his place, and Teodor sits on a bench listening to music. His mind is full of thoughts — school, friends, the future. Growing up sometimes scares him, but also excites him. He feels life is slowly opening new paths.

At five they return home. Their mother makes pasta with vegetables. Teodor sets the table; Laura draws a heart and says, “This is for you.” Teodor hugs her: “You’re the best.”

At six they have dinner. They talk about what Teodor learned, what happened at work, what Laura wants to take to school tomorrow. After dinner they wash dishes together — Teodor rinses, their mother dries, Laura hands them the utensils. Sometimes they turn it into a game: whoever finishes first gets to choose a movie for the weekend.

At 7:30 Teodor has his own time — guitar practice. He has been learning for a year. He’s not great yet, but he can play simple melodies. His mother says he’s improving. Laura sometimes sits next to him and taps to the rhythm.

At eight their mother says: “Kids, shower time.” Laura runs to the bathroom and makes bubbles everywhere. Teodor showers quickly and puts on sweatpants. Then he reads a little from a library book — a story about a boy traveling the world.

At nine his mother puts Laura to bed, and Teodor tidies his desk. Laura asks him to read a story for her. He sits beside her bed and reads half a chapter. Her eyes slowly close. Their mother covers her and turns off the lamp.

At 9:30 Teodor goes to his room. He checks messages — Luka asks if he wants to go to the park tomorrow after school. Teodor writes: “Sure, if it doesn’t rain.”

He lies down thinking about the day — school, basketball, friends, Laura, the park. It was an ordinary day, but full of small moments that make him feel good. He closes his eyes, ready for the new day ahead.

🇨🇳 2. 中文完整翻译

Teodor 今年十六岁，来自波罗的海小国——爱沙尼亚。他和妈妈、妹妹住在这个城市快三年了，自从妈妈在一家国际公司找到平面设计师的工作。刚搬来时，对 Teodor 来说很艰难——要学新语言、重新交朋友、习惯不同的学校制度和新的生活方式。但现在回头看，他觉得自己成长了很多，这个城市逐渐成为他的“第二个家”。

他的早晨从七点开始。闹钟响起，他伸手到枕头底把它关掉。他总想再睡半小时，但知道没时间。他慢慢起床、伸懒腰，听见隔壁房间妹妹 Laura 正在和她的玩具熊说话。他笑了笑，去浴室洗脸、刷牙，看着镜子里的自己——头发乱糟糟，但他不在乎，因为出门就戴帽衫。

妈妈已经在厨房准备好早餐了——两杯茶、涂黄油和果酱的面包。香味温暖、令人安心。Teodor 坐下吃东西。妈妈像每天一样问他今天有没有考试。Teodor 耸肩：“可能有化学测验吧。”妈妈笑着递给他一颗苹果。

7:30，他们穿好鞋准备出门。妈妈送到门口，说：“乖一点，小心路上。”Laura 回头喊：“妈妈，我一直很乖！”Teodor 给她拉好拉链，两人一起下楼。

从家走到学校要十五分钟。街上全是学生，有的独自走，有的结伴，有的赶公交。Teodor 戴着耳机听轻音乐。Laura 的小学在路上，他把她送到门口，她挥手跑进去，然后他继续走。

他的高中很大、很现代，走廊宽敞、窗户多光线好。Teodor 和同学打招呼，打开储物柜拿书。第一节是数学，他不太喜欢，但老师有耐心，讲得清楚。Teodor 坐在第三排，老师开始在黑板上写题。

接下来是历史课，比数学有趣得多。今天讲中世纪和城堡。Teodor 喜欢想象当时人们怎么生活、怎么保卫城市。老师展示古城堡图片，学生们都看得很专注。

第二节课后有十五分钟休息。他到院子呼吸新鲜空气。朋友们站在树下聊天。第一个朋友 Luka 朝他招手。Luka 是他刚来时第一个认识的朋友，开朗又热心，经常帮他理解难词。

“你准备好化学测验了吗？”

Teodor 做鬼脸：“没有。”

Luka 大笑：“我也忘了一半，今天有意思了。”

下节课回到教室，化学老师开始讲反应方程。Teodor 有些懂、有些不懂，但认真尝试。老师叫他上黑板写答案，他手有点抖，但写对了。老师点头：“做得好。”Teodor 心里升起一点小小的自豪。

中午去食堂吃饭。人很多，他点了汤和三明治。和 Luka、Sara 和 Nikolina 坐一起，聊游戏、剧、春天想去哪儿郊游。Sara 想去动物园，Luka 想去冒险乐园，Teodor 想去附近的湖。

午饭后还有两节课——地理和体育。地理讲欧洲的河流和山脉，Teodor 想象自己将来能去这些地方旅行。体育课最让他开心——今天打篮球，他又高又灵活，队伍赢了，他脸红热但特别满足。

两点放学。他去小卖部买面包和香蕉，因为妈妈发信息让他买点点心。到家后，Laura 已经在家，给他看自己画的迷宫：“猜出口在哪？”Teodor 说：“让我看看……这里！”Laura 大笑：“错啦！你作弊！”

2:30 妈妈回家，把包放桌上，问他们学校怎么样。Teodor 讲了化学和篮球，Laura 讲游戏。妈妈给他们酸奶。

三点到四点做作业。Teodor 做数学和化学，Laura 做语文，但一直问问题：“这个怎么写？这个怎么说？”Teodor 耐心解释，还装老师：“同学们，今天学字母！”Laura 笑倒在地。

作业后休息一会儿。Teodor 看短视频，Laura 堆积木。妈妈煮汤，4:30 叫他们去公园散步。

公园很大，有滑梯、树、长凳。Laura 去玩秋千，要 Teodor 推她。后来妈妈接手，Teodor 坐长凳听音乐，想着学校、朋友、未来。想到长大，他有时害怕、有时期待。

五点回家。妈妈做蔬菜意面，Teodor 摆桌子，Laura 画了一颗心说：“送给你们。”Teodor 抱抱她：“你最棒。”

六点吃晚餐。聊今天发生的事。吃完一起洗碗——Teodor 冲洗，妈妈擦干，Laura 递餐具。偶尔他们会比赛：谁先完成谁选周末的电影。

七点半 Teodor 练吉他，他已经学一年了，能弹一些旋律。妈妈说他越来越好。Laura 坐旁边拍手打节奏。

八点洗澡时间。Laura 在浴室玩泡泡，Teodor 快速洗完去房间读借来的书——关于一个环游世界的男孩。

九点妈妈哄 Laura 睡觉，Teodor 收拾书桌。Laura 要哥哥讲故事，他读半章就让妹妹睡着了。

9:30 Teodor 进自己的房间。看手机消息——Luka 问明天放学要不要去公园。他回：“当然，只要不下雨。”

躺在床上，他回想一天。普通，却满是日常的小快乐。闭上眼，准备迎接明天。
