The funeral


Anna: Hej William, var var du igår?

Anna: Hi William, where were you yesterday?
William: Jag kunde inte komma till skolan därför att jag var på min farbrors begravning.

William: I couldn't come to school because I was at my uncle's funeral.
Anna: Åh, det var tråkigt att höra. Känns det jobbigt?

Anna: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. How are you coping?
William: Det går bra, antar jag. Jag stod honom inte särskilt nära.

William: I'm doing okay I guess. I wasn't very close to him.
Anna: Jaså? Så synd.

Anna: Really? That's a pity.
William: Jo, men han besökte nästan aldrig oss, trots att han bodde i närheten.

William: Yes, but he hardly visited us, even though he lived close by.
Anna: Åh. Varför inte det?

Anna: Oh why not?
William: Jag vet inte riktigt. Efter min farbrors bortgång uttryckte min pappa tvivel om att hans avlidne bror hade tyckt särskilt bra om honom. Dessutom tror jag att han var upptagen med sina egna vänner, för det var mycket folk på begravningen!

William: Not sure. After he died my father expressed doubt that his late brother liked him much. I also think he was busy with his own friends, because there were a lot of people at the funeral!
Anna: Ja, det kan förklara mycket!

Anna: Well, that explains a lot!
