Id: Aura antusiasnya menular; setiap kata tentang sejarah candi yang diucapkannya seolah membawa hidup kisah masa lalu.
En: Her enthusiastic aura was infectious; every word about the temple's history seemed to breathe life into the stories of the past.

Id: Ayu, seorang pemandu wisata bersemangat, sebenarnya menyimpan impian lain—menjadi arkeolog dan menjaga warisan budaya Indonesia.
En: Ayu, an energetic tour guide, harbored another dream—to become an archaeologist and preserve Indonesia's cultural heritage.

Id: Dimas melihat kesempatan untuk temuan yang bisa membuat namanya dikenal.
