    • 2012, David Nicholls, En dag[1], Forlaget Press, →ISBN, →ISBN:
      På bryllupsbildene kunne man se at bruden og brudgommen løftet halvlitere mot kamera, en sigg dinglet fra brudens røde munn, og så fikk de beskjedne bryllupsgaver: en kjempegod samlekassett, en fotomontasje i klipsramme, en eske med stearinlys.
      In the wedding photos one could see that the bride and groom raised half-litres [glasses] towards the camera, a ciggy dangled from the bride's red lips, and so they got the modest wedding presents, an excellent binder, a photomontage in a clip frame, a box of candles.
