Is it correct to use this as once more and also as one more time. These two concepts are different in English, "one more time", has an air of finality about it. "I would like to see my friend one more time before he dies" while "once more" hints that I would like to see my friend again and perhaps renew that friendship. Can "Une nouvelle fois" be used in both ways dependant on context?
I assume from this sentence that "juste" can be used for emphasis the same as in English. Personally, I try to avoid using "just" for emphasis. I'm from the American Bible Belt, and it's used way too much, especially in prayers: "I just want to tell you, Jesus, that I just love you so much, and I just want to just praise you, like, just forever...." Prayers like this is why I became an Episcopalian.
