It: Il crepuscolo li avvolgeva insieme a un'inaspettata sensazione di avventura.

It: "Che sorpresa!
En: "What a surprise!"

It: ", esclamò Valentina, mentre un uomo con un cappello di paglia li invitava a unirsi alla festa.

It: Enzo saltò sull'occasione: "Che ne dici, Lorenzo?"
En: Enzo jumped at the chance: "What do you say, Lorenzo?"

It: Mentre camminavano verso casa, Lorenzo si rese conto che l'esperienza aveva superato le sue aspettative.
En: As they walked home, Lorenzo realized that the experience had exceeded his expectations.

It: "Forse," rifletté ad alta voce, "è più importante vivere il momento che mostrare le proprie conoscenze."
En: "Perhaps," he reflected aloud, "it's more important to live in the moment than to show off one's knowledge."

It: Valentina ed Enzo annuirono, sorridendo sotto la luna brillante.
