Da: "Kan du lide den?"

Da: spurgte han forsigtigt, men hendes svar kom som en forvirrelse.
En: he asked cautiously, but her response was bewildering.

Da: "Undskyld, mente du bogen?"
En: "Sorry, did you mean the book?"

Da: sagde Astrid, antagende at han talte om den guide, hun holdt.
En: said Astrid, assuming he was talking about the guide she was holding.

Da: Ekkoet af pinlig stilhed endte, da Kirsten, museums kurator, nærmede sig.
En: The echo of awkward silence ended when Kirsten, the museum curator, approached.

Da: Kirsten havde bemærket de to unge.
En: Kirsten had noticed the two young people.

Da: Med et glimt i øjet sagde hun, "Denne statue har ofte inspireret kunstnere."
En: With a twinkle in her eye, she said, "This statue has often inspired artists."

Da: Hun efterlod dem med et smil og en aura af håb.

Da: Søren tog mod til sig.

Da: "Jeg er kunststuderende," sagde han, og tilføjede, "denne statue er en fantastisk model.

Da: Hvad får du ud af den?"
En: What do you get out of it?"

Da: Astrid smilede let, lettet over den konstruktive vending.
En: Astrid smiled slightly, relieved by the constructive turn.

Da: "Der er noget ved hendes udtryk.

Da: "Har du også altid elsket denne?"

Da: spurgte Astrid ivrigt.
En: Astrid asked eagerly.

Da: "Ja, faktisk.
En: "Yes, actually.

Da: Dens form og historie... det er inspirerende," indrømmede Søren.

Da: "Der er et hyggeligt sted tæt på.

Da: spurgte han usikkert.
En: he asked uncertainly.

Da: Astrid nikkede ivrigt.
