The story so far
Everything you need before watchingTwo kids roll into Portorosso looking like they slept in a hedge. The town's five-time Cup champion, Ercole, welcomes them the only way he knows: insults, a dunk in the fountain, and a reminder that his Vespa was bought with prize money. Giulia, last year's dropout, storms in and claims his reign is over. Then the real plot click: the Portorosso Cup pays. Luca and Alberto want that scooter. Giulia wants revenge. Nobody has a team yet—until the underdogs start sniffing each other out.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“You gotta show it you're the boss!”
你得让它知道谁说了算!
把人车关系说成谁是老板,小孩也能立刻懂的掌控感。
show + 对象 + you're the boss
鼓励别人别怂,骑车开车面试都能套。
Show them who's in charge. / Act like you own it.
informal
gotta 吞成 godda;boss 重读,收得干脆。
“Looking down is what's making you fall.”
你往下看,所以才摔。
一句骑车纠正,也是人生提醒:盯着失败就会失败。
Doing X is what's making you Y
指出坏习惯和坏结果的因果关系时用。
That's what's holding you back. / That's why you keep slipping.
neutral
重音落在 down 和 fall,中间快滑。
“You have the hunger.”
你们有那股饿劲。
用 hunger 说渴望,短、狠、像教练拍你肩膀。
have the hunger (for...)
夸人有拼劲、想赢,面试和赛场都能说。
You've got the drive. / You want it badly.
informal
hunger 拉长,像点破心里那点火。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageFirst of all, get in line! Every summer, that jerk makes my life miserable. So, no one's taking him down unless it's me! Second, this isn't any old race. It's an epic, grueling, traditional Italian triathlon. Swimming, cycling, and eating pasta. So, you'd need a teammate.
首先,排队去! 每年夏天,那混蛋都把我整得够呛。 所以谁也别想干掉他,除非是我! 其次,这可不是普通比赛。 这是史诗级、要命的意大利传统铁人三项。 游泳、骑车,再吃意面。 所以,你得有个队友。
Please? My family was gonna send me somewhere horrible. Away from everything I love. But if we win this race, well, we can be free.
求你了? 我家人要把我送到一个很可怕的地方。 远离我爱的一切。 可要是我们赢了这场比赛,嗯, 我们就能自由。
