Story Transcript:

Da: Lars, Marie og Henrik sad samlet til den årlige familiefest.
En: Lars, Marie and Henrik sat together for the annual family party.

Da: De nød den lækre mad, og snakkede om alt muligt.
En: They enjoyed the delicious food and talked about everything.

Da: Lars skulle servere kalkunen og sovsen, men ved et uheld spildte han sovs på Maries nye, hvide kjole.
En: Lars was supposed to serve the turkey and the gravy, but he accidentally spilled the gravy on Marie's new white dress.

Da: Alle kiggede på hende, og hun blev flov.
En: Everyone looked at her and she got embarrassed.

Da: Henrik, som altid var den sjove onkel, sagde så med et smil: "Det ser ud til, at du har fået en forsmag på din middag, Marie!"
En: Henrik, ever the funny uncle, then said with a smile: "It looks like you've had a taste of your dinner, Marie!"

Da: Alle begyndte at grine, inklusiv Marie, som var lettet over, at der ikke var nogen alvorlig skade sket.
En: Everyone started laughing, including Marie, who was relieved that no serious damage had been done.

Da: Lars tilbød straks at betale for rensningen af hendes kjole, og resten af aftenen var fyldt med god mad, drikke og højt humør.
En: Lars immediately offered to pay for the cleaning of her dress, and the rest of the evening was filled with good food, drink and high spirits.

Da: Til sidst var det tid til at sige farvel, og alle gik hjem med et smil på læben, velvidende at endnu en traditionel dansk familiesammenkomst var blevet afholdt med succes.
En: Finally, it was time to say goodbye and everyone went home with a smile on their face, knowing that another traditional Danish family reunion had been successfully held.
