Maybe we can put two more 過 in this meme and change it to "我也想過過過過兒過過的過去啊" --by looking at the wording, some might think she's stuttering

Why are there three 過 before 過兒? That doesn't make sense.

小龍女(the subject)

深情的 (adv)

對楊過說 - said to 楊過 (the object)

> 我好想(過過) = I really want to (briefly go through)

> 過兒 (the person she speaks to)

> 過過的 = who had gone through

> 生活 = life

> 啊 (exclamation)

The first 過過 is a reduplication of the verb 過 to indicate 'slightly' or 'briefly' e.g. 去 = go; 去去 = go (briefly)

the second 過過 is the verb 過(go through) followed by a verb particle 過 that indicates "past perfect" e.g. 去 = go to; 去過 = had visited

> 「我好想過過過兒過過的生活啊！」= " I really want to go through (experience) the life that you (過兒) had gone through (experienced)

She was speaking to 楊過 but didn't use the second-person from "you" to address him. Instead, she used 楊過's pet name 過兒 (third-person form)
