Da: De landede tilbage med et lille gisp og et smil på læberne.
En: They returned with a small gasp and a smile on their faces.

Da: Da de trådte ud, mødte de Emil.

Da: Med et lettelsens suk mødte hun hans blik igen, denne gang med respekt.

Da: Astrid havde lært en værdifuld lektion denne sommerdag.
En: Astrid had learned a valuable lesson this summer day.

Da: Ikke alting er, som det ser ud til ved første øjekast.
