Les personnages qui luttaient pour le triomphe du bien dans l'univers se quittaient généralement sur ces mots ("que la force soit avec toi"). On utilise parfois cette phrase de façon humoristique, à l'écrit ou à l'oral, pour souhaiter bonne chance à quelqu'un. On dira par exemple: have a good business trip, and may the force be with you, you'll need it ("j'espère que ton voyage d'affaires se passera bien, et que la force soit avec toi, tu en auras besoin"). -

11 -force o strength?-
Nota d'usoIl sostantivo forza può essere tradotto con “force” o “strength”, con alcune differenze di significato. In contesti scientifici, quando si parla di forza si usa il sostantivo “force”: la forza di gravità, the force of gravity. Quando invece si parla di una forza di tipo più astratto, insita in qualcuno o qualcosa, si utilizza la parola “strength”: Non ho la forza di alzarmi, I don't have the strength to get up; Il primo ministro ha dimostrato la sua forza, the Prime Minister has proved his strength. In alcuni casi i due sostantivi sono intercambiabili: la forza del vento, the force (o strength) of the wind. In generale, “force” si riferisce a una forza offensiva, che causa cambiamenti, mentre “strength” indica più spesso una forza difensiva o di resistenza. -
