When something is interstellar, it is happening or sitting in the space between the stars — not on a planet, and not just around our own Sun. Scientists talk about interstellar space, interstellar dust, and interstellar travel (going from one star system to another, which people cannot do yet).

When something is interstellar當某件事是 interstellar, it is happening or sitting in the space between the stars就是發生或存在於星星與星星之間的太空裡 — not on a planet不是在某顆行星上, and not just around our own Sun也不只是繞著我們的太陽。Scientists talk about interstellar space, interstellar dust, and interstellar travel科學家會講 interstellar space星際空間、interstellar dust星際塵埃，還有 interstellar travel星際旅行 (going from one star system to another, which people cannot do yet)（從一個星系到另一個星系，這是人類目前還做不到的）。

In films and games the word is used more loosely, as if it simply meant “far away among the stars.” It sounds scientific and a little grand. You will mostly meet it in science and science fiction.

In films and games the word is used more loosely在電影和遊戲裡，這個字用得比較鬆散, as if it simply meant “far away among the stars.”好像只是指「在星星之間很遙遠的地方」。It sounds scientific and a little grand聽起來很科學、也有點宏大。You will mostly meet it in science and science fiction你大概主要會在科學和科幻作品裡遇到它。

Though actually, stellar by itself can mean “excellent” in everyday talk (“a stellar performance”), but interstellar does not pick up that praise-meaning; it stays about the space between stars.

Though actually不過其實, stellar by itself can mean “excellent” in everyday talkstellar這個字本身在日常口語裡可以指「excellent很棒」 (“a stellar performance”)（像 a stellar performance很棒的表現）, but interstellar does not pick up that praise-meaning但 interstellar沒有承接這個稱讚的意思; it stays about the space between stars它講的還是星星之間的太空。
