首先我要用一个故意进行了戏剧化夸张的比喻来说明我的观点，然后再进行解释。

I’ll start with a deliberately melodramatic simile, then explain it.

毫不夸张地说，如果再给我100，000年，我能想出一个比这更精辟的比喻。

I'm sure I could think of a more terrible analogy than that given another 100,000 years.

我觉得，作者表达的观点绝非夸张比喻而是认真的，因为她似乎认为大象与人类之间的思维之间没有区别。

This, I fear, the author means literally rather than metaphorically, for she seems to see no difference between the elephant and the human mind.
