The story so far
Everything you need before watchingGiulia already has her victory speech ready. Then she drops it. School in Genova, summers here, and everyone treats her like a kid who does not fit. On the roof she points Bernardi's telescope at the lights Luca thought were fish. They are stars, a Saturn that would float, a universe of galaxies. Luca keeps asking what comes next until she runs out of answers. Alberto finds them. She gives Luca the book. For one night, the universe is his.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“I think I know how you feel.”
我觉得我懂你的感受。
不讲道理,先接住对方的委屈,友情里最管用的一句。
I (think I) know how you feel
朋友倾诉、同事吐槽时,先共鸣再给建议。
I get it. / I know the feeling.
informal
think 轻滑,know 和 feel 重读降调。
“My mom says sometimes I'm too much.”
我妈说我有时候太过了。
把性格说成剂量,半道歉半自嘲,听的人立刻想护她。
sometimes I'm too much
觉得自己话多、情绪满、存在感太强时自嘲。
I come on too strong. / I can be a lot.
informal
too much 拉长,像在等对方否认。
“The universe is literally yours!”
宇宙现在真的是你的了!
把送书说成把宇宙交出去,字面和夸张叠在一句里。
The X is literally yours
把东西、机会、夜晚交给对方时,带点玩笑的郑重。
It's all yours. / The world is your oyster.

literally 加重,yours 扬起再落下。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageLook, during school, I live with my mamma in Genova. And every summer, I come here, and everyone thinks I'm just some weird kid who doesn't belong.
听着,上学的时候, 我跟妈妈住在热那亚。 每年夏天,我才回到这儿, 人人都觉得我就是个怪人小孩 根本不该出现在这儿。
That's Saturno. It's my favorite. It's the lightest of the planets. They say if there was an ocean big enough to hold it, it would float in it!
那是土星。我最喜欢它。 它是行星里最轻的。 据说要是有一片海大到能装下它, 它会浮在上面!
