Tekst 2

The Scandinavian Languages – Three For The Price Of One? What’s the difference between Swedish, Danish and Norwegian? What are the similarities? If you know one of the languages, do you know them all? Let’s have a closer look!
           Ah, Scandinavia! Vast, untouched nature. Dried, pickled fish everywhere you turn. Was that a blonde mermaid riding by on a moose? It’s hard to see for all the Alexander Skarsgård1 -lookalikes, walking around in their Norwegian jumpers, speaking this characteristically melodic language. But what is this language?

Opgave D - Oversættelse

Oversæt følgende tekst til engelsk

I maj 2016 fik London ny borgmester. Hermed blev Sadiq Khan den første muslimske borgmester i en større vestlig hovedstad. Hans forældre indvandrede fra Pakistan kort tid før, han blev født. Faderen var buschauffør og moderen hjemmegående, så pengene var små. Den 45-årige politiker og medlem af Labour-partiet voksede op sammen med sine syv søskende i en beskeden lejlighed i Sydlondon.
           Sadiq Khan, som er uddannet jurist, lovede højtideligt i sin sejrstale, at han vil tage fat på byens massive boligproblemer og være borgmester for alle Londons indbyggere.
