No: På nyttårsaften var vitenskapsmuseet i Oslo fylt av lys og latter.
En: On New Year's Eve, the vitenskapsmuseet in Oslo was filled with light and laughter.

No: Utenfor var byen dekket med snø, og den kalde luften glitret i måneskinnet.

No: Denne kvelden søkte han etter noe spesielt – inspirasjon til en ny utstilling.

En: His creativity was blocked.

No: Elise, hans livlige barndomsvenn og nå PR-ansvarlig ved museet, så ham og vinket energisk.
En: Elise, his lively childhood friend and now PR manager at the museum, saw him and waved energetically.

No: Hun kom bort til ham.
En: She came over to him.

No: "Anders! Er du klar for å bli inspirert?" spurte hun med et lurt smil.
En: "Anders! Are you ready to be inspired?" she asked with a sly smile.

No: Hun visste om hans kreative blokkering.
En: She knew about his creative block.

No: "Lars har en ny utstilling i kveld. Jeg tror du kommer til å like den!"
En: "Lars has a new exhibit tonight. I think you're going to like it!"

No: Lars, Anders' rival, var kjent for sine dristige, avant-garde design.
En: Lars, Anders' rival, was known for his bold, avant-garde designs.

No: Anders hadde alltid følt en smule sjalusi over Lars’ selvtillit og suksess.
En: Anders had always felt a tinge of jealousy over Lars' confidence and success.

No: Nå sto han ved kanten av mengden, og lyttet til folk som snakket om Lars’ siste mesterverk.
En: He now stood at the edge of the crowd, listening to people talk about Lars' latest masterpiece.

No: Det var en både fascinerende og frustrerende følelse.
En: It was both a fascinating and frustrating feeling.

No: Anders bestemte seg for å møte sine frykter.
En: Anders decided to confront his fears.

No: Lik en sjakkspiller nøye vurderte han sine trekk.
En: Like a chess player, he carefully considered his moves.
