De: „Vielleicht hört mir jemand zu“, flüsterte sie sich selbst Mut zu.

De: Greta, eine Freundin und ebenfalls Kunstliebhaberin, stand an ihrer Seite.
En: Greta, a friend and also an art lover, stood by her side.

De: Anneliese atmete tief durch und trat vor das Publikum, bereit, ihre Rede zu halten.
En: Anneliese took a deep breath and stepped before the audience, ready to deliver her speech.

De: Während sie sprach, bemerkte sie, dass ein bekannter Kritiker interessiert zuhörte.
