Da: Vandet sprøjtede højt op i luften og skinnede som diamanter i sollyset.
En: The water sprayed high in the air and shimmered like diamonds in the sunlight.

Da: Mette stillede sig op foran springvandet, tog sin telefon frem og gjorde klar til at tage et billede.
En: Mette positioned herself in front of the fountain, took out her phone, and prepared to take a picture.

Da: Men ak!
En: But oh!
