挪威变成欧洲最富有的国家之一，对此有一个贴切的比喻说，他们过去建造的简朴小屋现在成了给希尔克内斯的富人的舒适的乡村小屋。
In an apt metaphor for Norway's transformation into one of Europe's wealthiest nations, the Spartan huts that they built now serve as comfortable country cabins for the well-to-do of Kirkenes.
起初我认为这种说法未免太戏剧化，然而事实却显示出这是一个何等贴切的比喻！
At first I thought this was somewhat dramatic but the fact of the matter is that it's a fair comparison.
对我来说更贴切的比喻是,如果一个小说的故事情节是基于一个小于1%概率的事件的话,人们会指责你的创意了,他们会说这太荒诞.事实上,生活恰恰会经常变的荒诞无常,科学也不能测量宇宙趋势来扔给你一个真正完美的弧线球.
The fact is, life is fairly often unrealistic. Science can't measure the tendency of the universe to throw you a genuine curveball.
